【The Meditation Session - Preparation】- The father should keep quiet for the son’s act and vice versa
This father stole a goat, what should be done? The son should keep quiet for the father. On the other hand, if the son steals a goat, the father should keep quiet for the son. Eh? We cannot figure out why. The reason I say this here is not for the purpose of tracing the deeper reasoning. It is to show that, whether one is a worldly saint or supramundane sage, this is their attitude. So, if you feel that you are better than Buddha or better than Confucius, and then you have it your way, which is fine. But if you feel that we are in the midst of ignorance then, sorry, with the above concept, put a question mark on it first. One doesn’t need to totally repudiate the idea right away, but analyze: well, why did [the sages and saints] do so, and why is it that I do it that way? If you analyze in this way, I believe the change in perception will arise. At this point, it does not involve confession yet - not looking deeper into it yet. In the future, when discussing confession, [we] will specifically emphasize and explain this clearly.
Honestly speaking, the reason I mention rejoicing is that, if you rejoice the worldly contaminated deeds, of course, non-virtue will increase. Whereas if you rejoice in purified deeds, the virtuous attitude is beyond words! In our Ten Great Aspirations, the easiest one to practice is the rejoicing of good qualities. However, we don’t rejoice good qualities but rejoice negative deeds. That is truly pitiful!

修持轨理-加行 : 父为子隐，子为父隐，直在其中
这个父亲偷了人家羊，怎么办呢？这个儿子代父亲隐；反过来，儿子偷了羊呢，父亲要代他隐。欸？那我们想不通。这地方我所以说这样的话，倒不在这里深一层地追究这个理论，说明不管世间的圣人、出世间的圣人，他们这种态度是这样的。所以假定你自己觉得，我比佛，比孔老夫子还强，那你行你素，可以。假定你自己觉得，我们在无明当中，对不起，那么这种概念，第一个要先打一个问号。也不必马上摧毁它，先找：欸，他为什么这个样，我为什么这个样？你这样的话，我想大概可以改变了。这点在这里不谈忏悔，不深究，将来真正谈到那个忏悔的时候，会特别地强调，特别地说明。
正式说起来，我所以说随喜的话，你随喜的世间的染污之法，固然增长罪恶，你随喜了妙净之法的话，妙不可言！我们现在十大愿王中，最容易修的那一支就是随喜功德，可是我们现在不随喜功德，都随喜罪恶，那真可惜呀！
