..續本文上一頁g time, one will see a person”s heart.
In time, their true form is uncovered. "And they are covered with offenses." Their bodies are covered by offensive karma. They enter the Hell of Ripping Out Tongues without even realizing it.
說：「法師，你不要罵人哪，講法罵什麼人！」唉！我這不是罵人哪！我罵人？我天天都向那個蚊蟲、螞蟻叩頭，我怎麼敢罵人，不過我不能不說真理，真理是如此！
"Dharma Master, don”t scold people. As you speak the Dharma, why are you scolding people
" you ask. I am not scolding anyone. I bow to the ants and mosquitoes every day; how would I dare to scold people
But I cannot refrain from telling the truth. The truth is just like that.
我再告訴你們各位，我有今天，就是這些個說我不對的人，來教我的，來幫助我的。所以這些個說我不對的人、毀謗我的人，都是我的善知識。他們都是我的師父，我的師父都是口頭禅的，我現在所以會說口頭禅，也就因爲學我師父的。
Let me tell you, it”s just those people that criticize me who have taught and helped me, making me the way I am today. So the people who criticize and slander me are all my Good and Wise Advisors. They are all my teachers. My teachers all pay lip service to Chan. The reason I know how to do it is because I learned it from my teachers.
我有這麼幾句話，我說：「衆人是我師」：衆人都是我的師父，不論哪一個，你是有血氣的，我都要照你們學習。你們有好的，我就學好的；有壞的，我就學壞的；我要學得全身都是武藝，十八般兵刃件件精通，所以到比起武來，這絕招很多。「我是衆人師」：我也是大家的師父。「時常師自己」：時常我還要以自己作爲師父，自己也時常給人家作師父，所以大家互相提攜，互相向這個菩提道路上勇猛精進，不要在娑婆世界這麼打算盤，來爭你強我勝的。我們看誰先走到極樂世界去！
I have another verse which begins: "All people are my teachers." Everyone is my teacher. As long as you have blood and breath, I want to learn from you. If you are good, I learn the good. If you are bad, I learn the bad. I want to learn until I am a martial arts expert, skilled in all weapons. That way, when I am challenged to a fight, I will have many winning moves. "I am a teacher for all people." I am also everyone”s teacher. "I always teach myself." I am very often a teacher for myself. I am also constantly a teacher for others. That way, everyone can encourage one another to vigorously advance on the Bodhi Way. Let”s not linger in the Saha world, scheming and calculating about wins and losses. Let”s see who will reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss first!
有人說：「法師你盡強辭奪理，罵人還不承認！你承認嗎？你罵人你若承認，你就不會罵人的。對嗎？」可是罵人的人，是「仰天自唾，還岔己身」。那麼要喜歡被人罵，罵人給人加肥料呢！你那土地不肥沃，要上一點肥料，令你那五谷就長得茂盛了，你那果實也堅固了。
Someone says, "Dharma Master, you keep arguing and refusing to admit that you are scolding people. Do you admit it
If you admit that you are scolding people, then you won”t scold them anymore. Right
" But the one who scolds people is like "one who spits up into the skies, and gets the spit back on his own face." We should like being scolded, because when people scold us, they are giving us fertilizer. Our fields are not fertile, so they need to be fertilized. Then our crops will be abundant and our fruits will thrive.
說：「法師！你方才說衆人是你的師父，那有好人，有壞人，都是你師父，你也學好，也學壞？」你這是誤會了，所謂「衆人是我師」，善者，是我的法師，我就效法他；惡者，是我的戒師，我自己不要學他那樣子，所以衆人都是我的師父。「時常師自己」，自己要常常提高警覺，不要做錯了，不要用那個無明去做事，要用那個智慧。要用光明智慧來處理一切的問題，不要用那個愚癡、無明處理事情。人要把這個境界轉過來，那個境界不要轉我們人，我們再要「勿以善小而不爲，勿以惡小而爲之」。不要說，善很小的，我不要做了；那惡事很小的，我要做，做了也不要緊；譬如吃齋，吃個雞蛋沒有關系。沒有關系？將來你去作雞的時候，就知道那關系是從吃雞蛋那兒來的。就這一點點小的問題，你弄不清楚，這叫「善惡夾雜，果報不爽」，不是很好玩的！
"Dharma Master, you just said that all people are your teachers. But there are good people and bad people, and if you take them all as teachers, you will learn to be both good and bad," you object. You have misunderstood. When I say "All people are my teachers," I mean that good people teach me how I should be, and I learn to be like them. Bad people teach me how I should not be, and I learn to not be like them. That”s why all people are my teachers. "I always teach myself." We ourselves must always be alert and not make mistakes, not act in ignorance. We should use bright wisdom in handling all matters instead of using stupidity and ignorance to take care of things. We must turn states around, rather than being turned by states. "Do not fail to perform a good deed, thinking it is trivial. Do not perform an evil deed, thinking it is insignificant." Don”t think, "That good deed is trivial. I”m not going to do it. That bad deed is really minor. I”ll go ahead and do it. It doesn”t matter." For example, you think, "I”m vegetarian, but it won”t matter if I eat an egg." But in the future when you are reborn as a chicken, you will know that it was because you ate chicken eggs. If you are not clear in these small matters, then you are "mixing good and evil, and the retribution will not be off." It”s not fun at all.
今天我又發狂了，也不知道講什麼，我若講的有得罪各位的，請你來打我一頓、罵我一頓，我都很歡喜的！
I”ve gone kind of crazy today, and I don”t really know what I am saying. If I have offended you, please come up and give me a beating or scolding. I would be very delighted.
