【Explaining 讲说】Teachings should not said done without request 未请法不应说

【Explaining 】- Teachings should not said done without request

【It should not be done without request.】

If there is no request, don’t teach. We may say “Well, aren’t you [supposed to be] compassionate?” This is wrong, it is not so! We lack the understanding of the true characteristic of compassion. Too often, we are too lax in skillful means, which leads to downfall. It is clear that mothers in this world are the most compassionate, but it is difficult for a mother to discipline her children, the spoiled ones are all indulged, isn’t this very clear? For instance, in our Chinese history, Venerable Dao-xuan, the patriarch of precepts, was mentioned as one example yesterday. Well, from our worldly view, his Master was truly unreasonable - he absolutely refused to take in this disciple. No matter how much [the disciple] begged, [the Master] ignored him. Eventually, [Venerable Dao-xuan] became a great being of his time, such is the story!

讲说 ：未请法不应说

【谓未启请不应为说。 】

如果没有请的话不要说，不要说。也许我们说：“啊，你不是慈悲吗？”错了，不是！我们不了解真正慈悲的行相，我们常常是方便出下流。世间很明白，母亲是最慈悲的，但是母亲教不好孩子的，溺爱教出来的孩子都是孽子，这个不是很明白吗？例如我们中国的历史上面看看，昨天说的那个道宣律祖是这样的。欸，要我们世间的眼光来看，这个师父真不像样，就硬是不要那个徒弟，怎样求，不理他，最后终于把他锻炼成功一代伟人, 这样啊！
