【RELYING ON THE TEACHER】- the excellent teacher is the source of all temporary happiness and certain goodness

SOURCE 来源 :

[Thus, the excellent teacher is the source of all temporary happiness and certain goodness, beginning with the production of a single good quality and the reduction of a single fault in a student’s mind and eventually encompassing all the knowledge beyond that.]

In order for us students to receive physical and mental benefits, regardless of how small this benefit is, at the very least – from the aspect of good quality – there is accumulation of merits. And, with respect to reducing faults: it is to eradicate obstacles and remove flaws – even at a bare minimum; it all relies on excellent teachers! And what does this mean? They are the source of all temporary happiness and certain goodness. I can sincerely sense it right now!

依师 : 一切善乐的根本阙为善知识

【能令学者相续之中，下至发起一德，损减一过者，厥为善知识。 】

能够使我们学的人身心当中啊，得到好处的，而这个好处再微小，哪怕最起码的一点点——从功德方面来说，集聚功德; 从减过方面断德方面来说，就净除罪障，消除过失——最起码的一点点，都靠善知识，都靠善知识！而这个是什么? 这个就是一切善乐的根本。这我现在千真万确地体会到！
