【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- It can be like carrying corpse when we are at odds with the teachings
【When we are comparing ourselves with the teachings, it can be like carrying a corpse 430 we are at odds with the teachings. When you hope to be the best of religious persons and revered scholars, you are being the worst of the childish. The Collection of Indicative Verses:431
Those who are childish but consider themselves To be wise-they are called childish. 】
On the flipside, when you compare yourselves with the teachings, you are actually completely at odds with the teachings. Just like "carrying a corpse." What is called carrying a corpse? What is called carrying a corpse? It is saying that you are a person who is like the walking dead, a person who disposes the corpses. The former teachers would often tell us, "If we are to practice the Buddhism teachings, we have to have blood under the skin." What is called "under the skin”? This corpse, you see that it looks like a person, but he is useless dead. If you stab him, if you cut him open, there is no blood [to be seen]. If we say that we have compared ourselves with the teachings and yet we cannot concord with the teachings, then we are just like this. Actually, the corpse is better because at least he will not do harmful things! We now have checked ourselves with the teachings and we do not conform. Yet we think that we are right and keep on doing wrong. This is even worse than being a corpse!

业果 : 与法乖反，犹如负尸
【若校法时，与法乖反，犹如负尸，自妄希为法者，智者，净者，极顶，是为下愚。《集法句》云：“若愚思为智，说彼为愚痴。”】
反过来，你拿法来自己校对的时候，你实际上真正跟法完全相反，“犹如负尸”。什么叫负尸啊？什么叫负尸啊？我们说你这个人是行尸走肉，犹弃尸人。所以祖师常常说我们：你要修学佛法，皮下有血始得。什么叫皮下？这个死尸，你看看那样子像一个人，但他死掉了，没有用。你如果刺他，如果是割开他的话，他血没有的。我们如果说校对了法，而不能跟法相应的话，我们就是这样。实际上死尸还好咧，他至少不做坏事呀！我们现在是校对了法你不相顺，自己还觉得对的话，还做坏事，所以这死尸都不如啊！
