【依师 Relying on the Teacher】不要评头论足 do not criticize others from head to toe
依师 : 不要评头论足
所以我们真正要在这个地方重要的,不要对别人去评头论足,他好,赞叹不已,他坏,你就说他。你自己看,我应该怎么办?「见贤思齐焉」。看见他精采,想:我怎么样才能够跟他学,他为什么能够做到,找到他做到的因,你能够努力去做,你就是他,就是佛。「见不贤是内自省也」,看见人家不对,自己反省,说:「啊,我可不要这样!」我们不要去评头论足别人,那是一点意思都没有,一点意思都没有。

【Relying on the Teacher】 – do not criticize others from head to toe
Therefore, what is important for us now is not to criticize others from head to toe. When someone is good, [we would be] full of praise. When he is not good, [we would] criticize him. You need to examine yourself [and think] what should I be doing? [We should] “emulate the virtuous.” Seeing his brilliance, think : how can I learn from him; how did he accomplish it? Look for the cause of his success. If you are able to strive at it, you will become like him – that is achieve Buddhahood. “When seeing non-virtuous ones, reflect within”, when seeing others’ flaws, reflect on the self by saying: “Well, I should not be like that!” We should never criticize others from head to toe, which is completely meaningless, absolutely senseless.
