【Remembering the Teacher’s Kindness 念恩 】Why is it flavorless when I listen to the sutra? 为什么我听经没味道？

【Remembering the Teacher’s Kindness】- Why is it flavorless when I listen to the sutra?

Why is it that we often cannot comprehend the sutra? It is still due to our own obstacles. Hence, once you understand this, strive to purify even at risk of your own life! Now, instead of purifying, you are actually increasing your own obstacle, isn’t this absurd? So, regardless … once you truly understand, have properly comprehended it, then, no matter at what level of understanding, it will be very clear and very obvious. This is why Sung-pu-wa was mentioned earlier, well! Wherever he went, even if it were a layperson explaining the teachings, ah, he would go to listen, why? Because Sung-pu-wa benefited from the taste of the Dharma and he reflected on the kindness of the teaching. Now, we listened and listened but it is still flavorless. It is not that the teachings were explained poorly; Buddha’s speeches are flawless. It is due to our weighty afflictions! This is what we should properly recognize.

念恩 : 为什么我听经没味道？

这为什么平常我们听那个经不行啊？那还是我们自己的障碍。所以你了解了这一点，是拼命净除都来不及啊！你现在不去净除，反而增加你的障碍，不是颠倒吗？所以不管……你真正了解了，如法了解了以后，不管哪一个层次，非常清楚、非常明白。所以像前面那个桑朴瓦这样，欸！他跑到任何地方去，一个在家人的讲经，哎呀，他也跑得去听，为什么？他就尝到那个法味，就感念这个法的恩。现在我们听来听去，觉得没味道，不是他讲得不好，佛的话哪有不好的，是我们的烦恼太重啊！这是我们应该正确了解的。
