【Remembering the Teacher’s Kindness】- I have wandered for a long time through cyclic existence, and they search for me
【The Ten Teaching Sūtra says:
Develop the following ideas with respect to your teachers. I have wandered for a long time through cyclic existence, and they search for me; 】
We have been in the long dark night of ignorance, continuously wandering in cyclic existence, who comes to search for us? The virtuous teacher.
【I have been asleep, having been obscured by delusion for a long time, and they wake me;】
We have always been obscured by this long dark night of ignorance; it is the virtuous teacher who comes to wake me up.
【they pull me out of the depths of the ocean of existence;】
We have been drifting up and down in the ocean of cyclic existence, and they come to save us.
【I have entered a bad path, and they reveal the good path to me; they release me from being bound in the prison of existence; I have been worn out by illness for a long time, and they are my doctors; they are the rain clouds that put out my blazing fire of attachment and the like.】
Think of it this way: Ah! There is no exception – all benefits and advantages come from virtuous teacher. This kindness is incredible, immeasurable and boundless! In what manner did the virtuous teacher benefit you with his kindness? By explaining the proper teachings to you; for this reason, even if it is a verse of four lines, as long as you hear it and apply accordingly, then the benefit is yours.

念恩 : 驰骋生死寻觅我者
【《十法经》云：“于长夜中，驰骋生死寻觅我者。】
我们在无明长夜当中，一直在生死当中，谁来寻觅我们啊？善知识。
【于长夜中为愚痴覆而重睡眠，醒觉我者。】
我们一直为这个无明长夜掩盖着，善知识来觉醒我。
【沉溺有海，拔济我者。】
我们在三有苦海当中，头出头没，救我们的。
【我入恶道示善道者，系缚有狱解释我者。我于长夜，病所逼恼为作医王。我被贪等猛火烧燃，为作云雨而为息灭。应如是想。”】
就是这样想：啊！没有一点例外，所有的好处，所有的好处，都是善知识。这个恩是不得了，是无量无边啊！善知识用什么方式给你这个恩啊？就是如法地告诉你，因为这样，所以乃至一四句偈，你只要听到了照着去做，你就有这样的好处。
