【Explaining 讲说】The Dharma relies on the teachers of the lineage and purity of the lineage to exist 教法住世与否靠师承

【Explaining 】- The Dharma relies on the teachers of the lineage and purity of the lineage to exist

【Then, with a radiant face, teach, using examples, reasons, and scriptural citations and other accessories for ascertaining the meaning. 】

During the actual teaching, [we] need to ascertain the reasoning. Now, what is the actual content of our teaching, this is very important, it is crucial. This point was clearly explained at the beginning of the 《Biography of Venerable Atisha》. What does Buddha Dharma rely on to exist? It relies on whether there is Dharma in this world. This Dharma is the tenet that delivers the true intent of the teachings and relies on the teachers of the lineage and the [purity of the] lineage. We must never just rely on personal intellectual wits – that is personal feeling of this or that. If this is what we are doing, then the flaws will arise – although the teaching is everywhere, applying it is a different matter, and this is where the issue lies.

讲说 ：教法住世与否靠师承

【次以舒颜，具足审定义理所有喻因至教，而为宣说。 】

真正讲的时候要这样哦，要审定这个义理，说现在我们讲的这个真正的内涵是什么，这个很重要，这个很重要。这一点《阿底峡尊者传记》一开头的时候就说明，佛法有没有，靠什么？靠教法住世与否——这个教法，就是教理所说的真正的内涵，这一点是靠有否师承，有否传承。我们千万不可以依自聪辩哪！自己看了也觉得这个样、觉得那个样。如果我们用这种方式的话，那就现在产生了这个流弊——尽管教法处处皆是，但是修行啊是两件事情，而这个就是它的问题所在。
