【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS 】- Do we want to be disliked or well-liked by others?

Now, in our small circle of environment here, you look around, if this person is only mindful of his own business, you will naturally think, “This guy is so selfish!” You don’t want to deal with him, but that is not possible. If he can truly think wholeheartedly for your sake, you naturally will also want to listen to him, and are willing to care for him, isn’t this so? So may I ask, for those of us who want to study Buddha Dharma, would you like people to be disgusted by you or be willing to help you? Which one do you prefer? This is not just verbally; it isn’t just to say, “achieving Buddhahood for the sake of living beings!” It has to be very explicit and very clear in your mind. You are mindful of this, very clear, very vividly reflecting on this task!

道次引导 : 要被人讨厌，还是被人招呼？

现在我们这个小环境当中，你去看看，假如这个人一天到晚只忙自己的话，你自然而然不知不觉：“这家伙自私自利！”你就不要去理他，但是也没有办法。他如果能够真全心全意地为你的话，你自然而然也愿意听他，愿意处处地方招呼他，是不是这个样？那请问我们现修学佛法的人，愿意人人讨厌你，还是愿意人人帮助你呀？愿意做哪一个？这个不是嘴巴上面讲，不是说：“为利有情愿成佛！”就是你心里面很清楚、很明白，你想这件事情，非常清楚、非常明白地想这件事情！
