【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 excellent, [we would] praise incessantly. If 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, contemplate: how can I learn from him; why is it that he accomplished it? Look for the cause of his success. If you are able to strive at it, you will become him – that is how to 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.

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”。看见他精彩，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。
