【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】 To my advantage 为自己好

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】-  To my advantage

So now when I notice others busily occupied in monastic chores, I am truly grateful! I absolutely will not think: alas, those people do not know how to meditate. This is wrong, fortunately, he is taking care of that matter, so today I can practice here with a clear conscience. I am truly grateful! If there is free time, I would certainly help him out, and we work together to make it happen. Actually, such deeds are to my advantage, now I gradually have this understanding. Once you have this understanding, the mentality to blame others will decrease gradually, and eventually, it reduces to negligible levels, until, at the very end, the sense of unfairness has totally disappeared. By then, advancement is more or less possible. Thus, now I feel sometimes scolding is necessary! I have thought about this for a long time. Later, he scolded me several times, while I was being scolded, my mind was rejecting it: “Alas, what is the matter with the teacher? How can he react this way?” But how wonderful it was! If you cannot correspond to the teaching, you would always pause at that thought, and this lecture would never have an effect.

道次引导 : 为自己好

所以现在我的的确确地，在那个地方看见别人忙，我真感激啊！我绝对不会想：欸，那些人不会修行，不是，幸好他那些忙，今天我在这里可以心安理得，我真感激啊！如果有空，我起来一定帮他忙，大家去做好，实际上做好了是为我自己，现在才渐渐地了解。 你有了这个认识以后，去责备人的心慢慢减少了，到最后减到最低限度，真正到最后的话，完全找不到了。那个时候大概多多少少可以走上去了。所以我现在感觉到：有的时候还不骂还不行咧！总是这个样子想，一直想了好久，后来被他骂了几次，当时骂的时候还觉得心里很起反感：“哎呀，这个老师怎么搞的呀？这个样的呀？”但是妙了！如果说你不能跟法相应的话，你始终想在那边的话，这句话永远没有效果。
