【RELYING ON THE TEACHER】- The qualification for students

Among these five, it can be summarized in four items.

【Having intelligence is the favorable condition that gives rise to these four. Being nonpartisan gets rid of the unfavorable condition of taking sides. 】

The required qualifications for the students are: nonpartisan, great diligence, intelligence, and, on top of that, respect. The author divided these four into favorable and unfavorable conditions. If it is an unfavorable condition, in other words, it is an obstacle. If this obstacle is not cleared, you will never be able to enter [the teachings]. It is like our wish to enter a door – now the entrance is blocked, you will never be able to enter. This is considered an unfavorable condition – it should be removed. Once inside, you have such a choice – what is right or wrong – this is considered a favorable condition. If the favorable condition is insufficient, although you have entered, you may not necessarily get the good things. If you end up taking the bad things, then the effort would be wasted, this we should understand. Thus, with this understanding, we should examine our current status.

依师 : 学者的条件

这个五个里边，也可以含摄起来，只分四个项目来说。

【此四顺缘谓具慧解，弃舍违缘谓正直住。 】

这个学者需要的条件，正住、希求、具慧，再加上一个恭敬，他把这四个又分成功顺缘跟逆缘。 就是如果是个逆缘，换句话说，这是一种障碍，如果这个障碍不除的话，你就没有办法真正地进得去。 像我们要想进那个门一样，现在这个门口挡住了，你绝不可能进去，所以这叫违缘，把它拿掉。 然后呢，进去了以后，你要如理地选择，哪一个对，哪一个错，这个叫顺缘。 如果顺缘不具，虽然你进去了以后，你不一定拿到的好东西，结果拿到了坏东西，结果白辛苦一趟，这个我们应该了解。 那么有了这个认识以后，我们就应该来检点自己现在是什么个状态。
