【 Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels 皈依 】Arrogance is the root to all unriliness 骄慢是放逸的根本

【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- Arrogance is the root to all unriliness

“Such arrogance is the root of all unruliness.” This arrogance, being self-assured, is the root to all unruliness, root to all unruliness. All afflictions come from this but actually, the root to affliction is the “ego self.” The subjective aspects of the ego self are arrogance. Just like that. Arrogance is to look down on others and prop the self-up. As soon as you do this, it would not work! Therefore, “Do not despise inferior monks.” No matter how bad they are, how bad the Bhikkhu, you do not want to look down on them. If you cannot do this and look down on them, “you will not achieve liberation for an eon. Such is the way of this teaching.” If you have any thoughts of looking down at them, sorry, you will not achieve this for an eon...this sinful obscuration can be that great, such a serious obscuration. Now that we have been ordained, or we have not been ordained but we have begun to learn Buddhism, you despise this person, despise that person, ah, what would be the year for us [to achieve anything]?

皈依 : 骄慢是放逸的根本

「此憍是诸放逸本」，这个憍慢之心、自恃之心是放逸的根本，放逸的根本，烦恼都跟着这上面来的。实际上呢，烦恼的根本就是个「我」，我的行相就是憍慢，就这样。这个憍慢就是你把他看低，把自己看高，一来，不行！所以「永不应轻劣苾刍」，再差、再差的苾刍，你不要去轻视他。你如果说你不能做到这点，轻视的话，「一劫不能得解脱，此是此教正次第。」如果你对他有个轻视的心的话，对不起，一劫你都不能……这个罪障有这么大，有这么严重的罪障。我们现在出是出了家了，或者是没有出家修学佛法了，这个也瞧不起，那个也瞧不起，唉呀，那是我们到哪一年啊？
