【RELYING ON THE TEACHER】-  Applying seriously is more important than praising and admiring 

SOURCE 来源 :

【This being the case, those who achieve their own livelihood by praising or explaining the good qualities of the trainings, while not striving diligently to practice them, are not suitable to be teachers. 】

With the preceding discussion, if one does not apply it seriously or is not even inspired to apply mindfully and merely praises and admires the teaching by talking about various benefits. We have to experience and recognize this concept very clearly and explicitly. That is, for us Buddha Dharma practitioners, each one of us has great admiration towards Buddha Dharma – ah, Buddha is so remarkable, truly extraordinary. Use this attitude to praise the three Jewels, but what is more important is how we can learn from it, how to study it. These are two different things [aspiration and actual practice], two separate matters.

依师 : 学习比赞美更重要

【如是若于诸所学处，不乐修行，唯赞学处所有美誉或其功德以谋自活者，则不堪任为善知识。】

像上面我们说的这些，假定说他对于这些前面所说的，他并没有认真地修行，乃至于心里面也并没有好乐，好乐一心一意去修行，只是说赞美这个，赞美这个学处，说这样有什么好，有什么好。这个概念我们要很清楚、很明白地自己去体会、去认识它。也就是我们修学佛法的人，我们每一个人，都对于佛法有很大的景仰心——啊，就这个佛陀真伟大，真了不起。这个心情啊——对于三宝的赞美，但是更重要的我们要怎么样去学习，怎么样去学习，这是两件事情。
