Pay special attention to this point, everyone! Don”t say that you”ve realized what you haven”t realized, or that you”ve obtained a state you haven”t actually obtained. To say such things breaks the precept against false speech. In the future, people who say such things will fall into the hells where tongues are ripped out. Whether or not you believe my words is up to you. I”m simply giving you advance warning. In Buddhist circles you can find people who claim to be already enlightened. To make this claim is wrong! Even if you”re enlightened, you can”t boast, "Did you know that I”m enlightened
I have the Five Spiritual Eyes and the Six Psychic Powers!" Don”t advertise yourself. It”s totally meaningless.
就算是佛菩薩，也不會自我宣傳的，如果有人知道某某人是菩薩、某某人是佛化身來到世間，那時候，他們就走了。在唐朝有兩位大師，一位是寒山大師，一位是拾得大師。寒山是文殊師利菩薩的化身，拾得是普賢菩薩的化身。原來寒山和拾得是最好的道友。拾得(是豐幹和尚在路旁拾來的嬰兒，在國清寺養育成人)他在廚房管理燒水的工作，每天將殘余的飯菜裝在竹筒內，供養寒山。寒山住在天臺山月光岩洞中，每天到國清寺來取殘余的飯菜。因爲兩人志同道合，常在一起說笑，全寺僧人都認爲他們兩個人是瘋子，所以也不理他們。誰也不知道他們兩個人是菩薩化身，遊戲人間，來度應度的衆生。
Even Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not advertise themselves. When it becomes known that a certain person is a Bodhisattva, or that a certain person is a Buddha who has come into the world by transformation, those people will promptly leave. During the Tang Dynasty there were two such Great Masters: Hanshan (Cold Mountain) and Shide (The Foundling). Great Master Hanshan was Manjushri Bodhisattva”s transformation, and Shide was Samantabhadra Bodhisattva”s transformation. The two were the best of friends. Great Master Shide was an orphan, found on the roadside by the Abbot Fenggan of Guoqing (National Purity) Monastery and raised in the monastery. He worked in the kitchen boiling the water. He would pack leftover rice and vegetables into a bamboo crock and save them for Great Master Hanshan, who lived in Moonlight Cave behind the monastery. Great Master Hanshan came down to Guoqing Monastery every day to get the offering of leftovers. Since the two fellow-cultivators constantly joked and laughed together, the other monks thought they were fools and left them alone. Nobody knew they were actually Bodhisattvas” transformations who had come into the world playfully to take across living beings who were ready to be saved.
有一天，闾丘胤太守見到豐幹和尚(彌陀化身)便問：「禅師，過去諸佛菩薩常常化身來到世界，現在諸佛菩薩是不是也化身到這世界來呢？」豐幹和尚說：「有啊！不過你不認識而已。現在在天臺山國清寺廚房燒水那個和尚，就是普賢菩薩，他有位道友寒山，就是文殊師利菩薩，怎麼會沒有呢？」闾太守聞之大喜，拜別而去，急往國清寺，專誠拜訪寒山、拾得兩位菩薩。
One day the Magistrate Lu Qiuyin visited Abbot Fenggan (who was the transformation of Amitabha Buddha) and asked, "Venerable Sir, in the past, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas often sent their transformations into the world. Do they still come to the world or not
" Abbot Fenggan said, "Yes, they do! It”s only that we don”t recognize them. Right now, the monk who boils water in the kitchen at Guoqing Monastery on Tiantai (Heavenly Vista) Mountain is the transformation of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. His fellow cultivator is Hanshan, who in reality is Manjushri Bodhisattva. Who claims that they no longer appear in the world
" Lu Qiuyin was delighted by this news, and took his leave. He headed directly for Guoqing Monastery, intending to pay sincere homage to the two Bodhisattvas, Hanshan and Shide.
來到國清寺，知客僧見太守光臨，便殷勤招待一番。聽到太守想見寒山、拾得，知客僧覺得很奇怪，不知爲什麼太守要見兩個瘋人？雖然覺得莫名其妙，他還是引導太守來到廚房。此時寒山、拾得二人正大說大笑，一幅瘋瘋癫癫的樣子，令人好笑。可是闾太守卻恭恭敬敬地給二人頂禮，必恭必敬地說：「弟子闾丘胤請兩位大菩薩慈悲，指示迷津。」
When he arrived at Guoqing Monastery, the guest prefect recognized him as an honored guest and received him with all due courtesy. When he heard that the Magistrate wished to see Hanshan and Shide, the prefect thought it quite strange. He couldn”t understand why the Magistrate was interested in meeting those two fools. Although he was puzzled, he led the Magistrate into the kitch…
