【Explaining 】- we have to resonate with the teaching, so to be fair to ourselves

If you would rather not come to hear this and say, “I am not capable, I just don’t want to listen,” that is fine. Once here, thus I did earlier wish to compel you to come for a reason: you can more or less learn what a complete teaching is. Once the teaching of the small capacity is done, it is up to you whether you will continue or not. It is your choice not to come. However, once [you] are in the class, snoozing is not allowed, today I specify it here. Of course, for special reasons, if you return very late with extra monastic tasks, that is an allowed exception. In this circumstance, even if you are sitting in the front and dozing off, I will teach you sincerely and, after that, I will continue to teach you. This is the cause I have to clarify here. In our minds, we have to resonate with the teaching, so to be fair to ourselves – before we can be fair to others – this is absolutely true and is the reality.

讲说 ：心中与法相应才对得起自己

你宁愿不来听，说：“这我就不行，我就不想去听。” 那好，那乃至于现在这地方，所以我前头，我的的确确希望你们，强迫你们来有个原因的，大家多多少少晓得，这一个它完整的教授是什么，等到下面那个第一个共下士讲完了，你们要不要来听没关系。你们可以不要来听，但是来听的人，不准许打瞌睡，这个我今天先说明。当然特别的理由，你晚上很晚回来，有特别的公事，那个绝对那个绝对原谅。在这种情况之下，哪怕你在这前面，一个人打瞌睡，我也很认认真真地跟你讲，讲完了以后，我下面还要跟你说。这个原因，我要这里说清楚。就是我们心里面，一定要跟这个相应，这个才是对得起自己，不要说对不起人家，不要说，这个千真万确的是一个事实。
