【Listening 听闻 】If the ears are not attentive 耳朵没有放在这里

【LISTENING】 – If the ears are not attentive

【you (1) do not pay attention】

When listening to the teaching, the first [attitude to be aware of] is if the ears are not attentive when one is listening to the teachings. Usually we have two conditions: our mind may be wandering or, worse, some even have this situation: in a classroom at school when the teacher is lecturing, [students] read novels [hiding] in the [desk] drawer. [They are] either reading a novel or have scattered minds with wandering thoughts. Afterwards [you] fall asleep. That is of no use, totally hopeless! We often chatter nonsense with great enthusiasm. To tell you to go to sleep or tell you to stop chatting [you] can’t stop it. But when you listen to the teaching, one becomes drowsy; it is totally useless! In fact, these are our obscurations. When encountering such situations, sincerely confess and earnestly repent.

听闻 : 耳朵没有放在这里

【不属耳，】

就是根本耳朵没放在这里，而他在那里听法。我们呢？两种情况，心里面胡思乱想，乃至于有的人，平常我们上课有这种情况，在学校里，老师上课，抽屉里面拿了一本小说，就在看小说；不看小说，胡思乱想，等到你散乱心过去了以后，打瞌睡，一点用场都没有，一点用场都没有！我们平常的时候聊天，聊了个起劲，叫你去睡觉，叫你不要聊天，做不到，可是听法的时候，他就打起瞌睡来了，一点用场都没有，一点用场都没有！这个实际上就是我们的业障，碰见这种情况，好好忏悔，好好忏悔。
