Golden Rain Drops
This happened at the time when Teacher’s health was not very good, to the extent that she could faint anytime.
One of Teacher’s Masters came to know of it, and personally made a trip to express concerns for her, and had a lunch together.
After the meal, the Master hoped that Teacher could accompany him outside for a walk. It was drizzling outside and light cold wind was blowing. Under this situation, normally we would think: “Isn’t my Teacher here to care for me? I am already so unwell, yet you do not allow me to rest and I have to accompany you for a walk”. However, Teacher did not have this thought. Teacher knew that her Teacher was here to help her and to give his blessings.
This was how the Venerables described the scene: The Master was walking at the very front, followed by Teacher, and the Venerables were in 2 rows behind them. Worried that Teacher might not be able to take it, a car followed as well, ready to send Teacher to hospital if she fainted. As the Master did not carry an umbrella, everyone also followed. This was how they walked for quite a long distance.
It was under this circumstance that Teacher felt her Master’s blessings. Teacher followed behind Master, who did not utter a word. Upon seeing the raindrops falling on Master, and seeing his back figure, Teacher was grateful to her Teacher for his compassion and blessings. Teacher then composed the Insightful Praise - ‘Golden Raindrops’. Teacher felt very touched from receiving such blessings, and her health slowly recovered.
This conveyed to us that ‘relying on the teacher’ has unimaginable merits. However, most of the time this concept does not arise in us, not to mention materialising it and putting it into practice.
老师的故事：金色雨滴
那时候老师重病状况很不好，随时都有可能昏倒那么严重，有一次老师的其中一位上师，在得知老师的身体状况后，特地来到老师身边关心她，并且一起用午斋。
用完午斋后，老师的上师希望老师能陪他一起到外面走走，可是那时候外面正在飘着小雨，并且带着一点凉意（通常我们遇到这种状况，都会直觉觉得，师长不是要来关心我的吗？怎么我病成这样子，不让我好好休息，还要在下雨天陪你出去散步，可是老师不是这样想的，老师知道他的师长是要来帮他要加持他的 ）。
那时候听法师这样形容，仁波切走在最前面，老师跟在后面，后面又跟着两排法师，他们很担心老师的身体撑不住，所以旁边还跟着一台车子，准备老师晕倒要送去医院的，因为仁波切不要撑伞，大家也都没敢撑伞，他们就这样走了一段很长的路。
老师就在这样的情境，感受到仁波切的加持，老师说，他跟在仁波切后面，仁波切一句话也没说，老师看着小雨打在仁波切身上，看着仁波切的背影，于是老师感恩仁波切的慈悲摄受与加持，做了这首赞颂《金色雨滴》，那时候老师很感动这样的加持，回来后，身体就逐渐康复了。
这里面讲的是依止师长有不可思议的功德，可是通常我们不会这样想，乃至于实践。
