【 Benefits of relying on the teacher 亲近胜利】【As the Sutra of Ksitigarbha says: ...《地藏经》云：“彼摄受者，应经无量俱胝劫中，流转恶趣所有诸业，然于现法因疾疫等，或飢馑等，损恼身心而能消除，下至呵责，或唯梦中亦能清净。】
【Benefits of relying on the teacher】- 【As the Sutra of Ksitigarbha says:
It cites from the Sutra of Ksitigarbha:
Those whom the teachers care for will purify the karma that would otherwise cause them to wander through the miserable realms for ten million limitless eons. They purify this karma with harm to their bodies and minds in this lifetime. This harm includes sickness such as an infectious disease with fever and calamities such as famine. They may purify their karma by merely undergoing something as little as a dream or a scolding. 】
Due to your serving of and offering to a virtuous teacher. Those negative karmic effects that we are in the midst of now, that is, our minor illnesses and suffering or even some hunger – in other words, minor physical and mental discomfort – exhaust [the negative karma]!
So in the previous sections, we were repeatedly told that when we rely on the virtuous teacher, we should “take it as a privilege, not a burden!” We shouldn’t ever rely with the attitude of feeling that this is not good, this is inferior, the living condition is uncomfortable, the food is not enjoyable, it is either too hot or too cold, which is unacceptable. All of these are the signs of our deep corruption. This is a great detriment to us! Other than this, it also includes getting a scolding, when a virtuous teacher scolds us [we can’t take it], just like this.
As for scolding, I suggest you read the biographies of great Masters of the past. All of these are illustrated again and again. Actually, aside from scolding, there are many other sufferings – physical and mental. These are to our greatest advantage, and our greatest privilege. “They may purify their karma by merely undergoing something as little as a dream.

亲近胜利 : 【《地藏经》云：“彼摄受者，应经无量俱胝劫中，流转恶趣所有诸业，然于现法因疾疫等，或飢馑等，损恼身心而能消除，下至呵责，或唯梦中亦能清净。】
因为你承事、供养善知识，结果那些恶业，就在现法当中，就是我们现生受一点小小的病苦，乃至于饿一点，换句话说，身心上面稍微一点的损恼——清除掉了!
所以前面一再告诉我们，我们亲近善知识，要“视为庄严，莫觉如担”哪！我们现在千万不要亲近善知识，还自己觉得这个不行、这个不好，住又住得不舒服，吃又吃得不痛快，等一下这个热又不行，冷又不行。这个完全是内心腐烂之相，这个是对我们一种最大损失啊！除了这个以外，下至呵斥，这个善知识对我们的呵斥，这样。
这个呵斥那段公案，我建议你们看的那些祖师的传记，在在都说明。其实除了这个呵责以外，其他很多的苦恼，身心上的苦恼，对我们就是最大的收获、最大的庄严。“或唯梦中亦能清净”，这是消除罪障的那一面。
