【The Six Types OF Suffering】-The path that a lion walks on is not one that a rabbit like me dares walk on

What did the honorable Milarepa say? "The path that a lion walks on is not one that a rabbit like me dares walk on!" He was such a magnificent person yet he saw himself as a rabbit. This was the real brilliance of the Honorable Milarepa! Therefore, everyone in the Tibetan lineages, no matter which school or lineage, venerated him. He had such high attainments in his life because he relied on this - he knew that he had poor qualifications. Actually, did he really have poor qualifications? If we compare ourselves to him, none of us comes close, not even one hundredth, or even one thousandth of him, yet he viewed himself "I am a rabbit." Ah, we view ourselves so highly. We think, "Ah! This is not right, that is not right. We would look down on everyone. We do not want to do this and that." This is the reason that we do not achieve.

希求解脱 : 獅子跳的路,兔子我不敢跳

密勒日巴尊者怎么说啊?「狮子跳的路,兔子我不敢跳啊!」他这么了不起的人,他把他看成是兔子,密勒日巴尊者真正了不起的地方!所以藏传不管哪一系、哪一派尊重他,他一生有这么高成就,就靠这个——他自己晓得我条件差。其实他条件真的差吗?如果我们比比,我们绝对没有一个人比得上他,乃至于百分之一、千分之一,他自己看「我是一个兔子」。哎哟,我们现在还看得自己很高咧,觉得:哎哟!这个不行、那个不行;看看那个瞧不起,那个瞧不起;这个也不要,那个也不要。那所以我们不成就的原因。
