【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Definitely do not randomly slander

I am trying to apply practical reasoning at every possible opportunity to explain to you, like that. Hope you can understand when such an explanation happens. Here I am not encouraging you to study Tantra practice, no, not yet! Well, the contemporary Tantra teaching is in disorder and there is a lot of confusion. Not everyone understands the Tantra teaching, yet when one tries to engage in it, most likely mishaps will happen. I am specifically clarifying it here, once we recognize the reasoning, we will steadily consider: “For now, safely taking my path, well, whether it is upholding the precepts or reciting Buddha’s name, these are certainly the best strategies.” However, definitely do not randomly slander those Tantra practitioners who are willing to take on such a practice, I would praise them very much. If one has the willpower to take it on, that is very good. But before having an understanding of the external condition, never make rash criticisms. This is one thing that is extremely important to us. How do you know what this practitioner’s actual spiritual identity is?

Conversely, the reason some people will try to imitate [an authentic Tantra practitioner], why do they want to imitate? Because Tantra practice is great! For an imposter, he would never want to imitate a thief, why? The thief is worthless! I also don’t want to pretend to be a bandit. My imitation would be: if I were to be an imposter, ah, I would imitate a high-level government official. This means that the government official is very worthy! So why does the imitator want to pretend to be a great guru, it means that there is an advantage to being a great guru, right? In this circumstance, some are real guru and some are feigning, you can’t tell them apart. If you randomly reject them, then you are really harming yourself!

道次引导 : 千万不要随欲毁谤

我是处处地方用这种很现实的道理告诉你们，这样。所以碰见这种地方的话，你要了解。我不是说这个地方鼓励你们去学密，不，不要！喔，这个密教现在杂乱得一塌糊涂，大家不懂得道理，你一去的话，多半会出毛病。我在这地方特别说明的，我们了解道理的话，我们很稳，说现在安安全全走我的路子，哎呀，持戒念佛哇，这个最好。但是对他们千千万万不要随欲毁谤，他如果愿意走的，我非常赞叹；如果你自己有力量去走的，非常好。可是对这个外面不了解的时候，千万不要妄加批评，这是我们很重要的一件事情。你怎么晓得他到底本地什么风光？

反过来说，他所以去冒牌，为什么要冒牌？他好嘛！一个冒牌的人，绝对不愿意我冒一个小偷，为什么？这个小偷不值钱嘛！我又不愿意冒一个强盗，我就冒一个，冒一个，哎哟，今天冒一个大官，表示这个大官值钱嘛！所以他为什么愿意说，冒这种—我是个大上师，表示大上师好嘛，对吧？所以在这种情况之下，有真的、有冒牌的，你弄不清楚，你随随便便去排斥的话，对你真的是害处啊！
