【 Faults of not relying on the Teacher 未依过患】 the force to motivate you to advance with joyous perseverance is removed 结果却是把精进的力量拿掉了
【Faults of not relying on the Teacher】- the force to motivate you to advance with joyous perseverance is removed
I still remember now, what the aforementioned seemingly kind Venerable had told me. He wasn’t very healthy either, many people have gastric discomfort, and he advised and provided this and that solution! I was affected by this, firmly believed that he also read many medical texts. Now, I recognized this as what? Wrong view. These confused views of sentient beings are very difficult to remove!
At that time, with this weak stomach, thus [I] had to see a doctor. After several visits, the problem was gone. However, I was impacted by earlier influence, I knew that Chinese medicine would cure the main cause, whereas western medicine treats the apparent symptom. Often, when western medicine identified the illness, it usually was too late for treatment. I always thought that the doctor didn’t identify it and the root cause was still there, so I made my own “sure-fire” decision. The doctor said, “You don’t need to take this medicine.” Since I didn't feel right and the problem had been there for so long, I took it upon myself to buy the medicine and consumed it. Altogether, I consumed (the medication) for over a year. Now, with my weak stomach, when I reflect on it, this [wrong view] definitely had a lot to do with it! Often, [we] think that being ill is where the trouble begins. Later… of course, this is from the worldly aspect, and the same applies to Buddha Dharma. We often feel that this person is comforting you, helping you, and thus the force to motivate you to advance with joyous perseverance is removed!

未依过患 : 结果却是把精进的力量拿掉了
到现在我还记得，就是第一个前面这个所谓很慈悲的那个法师告诉我的，他身体也不大好，很多人都有胃病，他就说这个胃病应该怎么样，怎么现象啊！我就受了这个影响，牢牢地觉得，他也看了很多医学的书，现在我发现这个叫什么啊？见取。这众生的这个见，见惑之难拔！
到了那个时候又胃不大好，那么就看医生。那时看了几次医生，觉得没问题，但是我受了先天的影响，我晓得那个中医治本的，西医治标的，西医往往等到你那个病发现的时候已经来不及治了。我心里总一直在想，他是现在检查是检查不出来，但是那个根不拔掉总归在，所以自己以为自以为是。他医生说，你不必吃这个药；既然我想不对，我又拖了那么久，我主动地自己去买那个药来吃，前前后后吃了一年多。我现在这个胃不好，我现在回想起来，受这个绝大的影响！往往心里面自己觉得有病，就害害在这个上头。所以以后啊，当然这个世法上面，佛法上面亦复如是。往往我们自己觉得，他在安慰你、帮忙你，然后呢，让你向上这个精进的这个一股力量，拿掉了！
