【 If the students remain resentful, intractable, or hostile toward the guru, they have no way to obtain good qualities】

The sutra tells us if we are “resentful” toward the teacher, resent – you dislike him. Because you dislike him, then hostility will arise, that is how it works. And then what follows? “Intractable.” This nonvirtuous mindset lingers within. You should not have even a mild dislike, yet your mind still persists on it, ah! That is more dreadful. Earlier in the text, we were taught that your arising thoughts to serve [the teacher] generate merits; [conversely,] your arising negative thoughts will be the cause for you to be in the miserable realms for many eons. Thus, resentment should be avoided; intractability should be avoided even more. As long as you have a speck of “hostility or anger,” the effect is such. Hostility is becoming annoyed, anger is having a disturbed mind: under these conditions, to accumulate good qualities is impossible. These are stated very clearly in the sutras. Your claim to accumulate good qualities is absolutely unheard of, definitely no such thing!

未依过患 : 慎防一念嫌恨心

【[若彼于师住嫌恨心,或坚恶心,或恚恼心,能得功德,无有是处。】

经上面告诉我们,我们对这个师长[住嫌恨心],嫌恨心—你讨厌他,因为讨厌就嗔恨心,就这个。然后呢?[坚恶心],这个恶心还老在那个地方,这个坚恶心。这个软的起一念都不可以,你还把那个心老在这个地方,啊!那是更可怕。前面告诉我们,你起一念的承事,就有这样的功德;你起一念的恶心,就这样长的劫数,你就住在恶道当中。所以说嫌恨心不可以,坚恶心更不可以,你只要一念[恚、恼],就是这样,恚是嗔,恼是恼乱,而在这种情况之下,能得功德无有是处,经上说得明明白白。你说想得到功德,绝无可能,绝没有!
