【RELYING ON THE TEACHER】- Relying on the teacher is like standing on the shoulder of a giant to see the world

【Therefore, the way you initially rely on the teacher is important, 】

So in this section, “rely on the teacher,” pay attention, this is very interesting! This word “rely” has great meaning! It is not whether there are teachers around, rather, it is that you lack the understanding of how to rely on a teacher – whether you can rely on him or not is a teaching to be mastered. This concept and reasoning is extremely important, extremely important! Until now, we may always feel that, “Alas, all ravens are black!” That description applies to ordinary beings! Although it is true, nevertheless, in the darkness there are excellent teachers shining bright like the sun, yet you don’t have the vision to spot them. It will depend on your ability to rely on him. Thus, the concept of “relying on the teacher” is very crucial.

依师 : 依师是站在巨人肩膀看天下

【故于最初，依师轨理极为紧要。 】

所以在这个地方啊，“依师”，注意哦，很有意思！这个“依”字是个大学问哦！不是没有老师啊，你懂不懂依师的道理，你能不能去依他，这个是个学问。这个轨则、这个道理绝端地重要，绝端地重要！一直到现在为止，我们大家总觉得：哎呀，到处啊天下乌鸦一般黑！那是凡夫啊！没错。但是这个黑的当中，却有像太阳这么光明的善知识在，就看你有没有这个眼睛了，看你有这个本事，有没有去依靠他了。所以“依师”这个道理很重要。
