..續本文上一頁也這麼講。你們也不要謝謝我，我也不要謝謝你們。接著來是問題的節目。我老實告訴你們，你們都比我有智慧，誰有什麼問題，要是覺得令我很爲難的，我沒有這個程度來答複你們的問題，你們就另外找有智慧的人去問好了，我是一個不學無術的人，所以希望大家明白我的立場，我是很愚癡的答複你們的問題，或者都不會滿意，雖然說不會滿意，可是我也勉爲其難。
All Good & Wise Advisors, Venerable Swamis, all good men and women, especially the elders present, and especially those in the prime of life, especially all young friends, good morning!
I, Hsuan Hua, am a very inarticulate person. Talking does not come easy to me. I am especially unwilling to walk or sit in front of anyone else, or to come and speak before anyone else. I don”t assume to put myself in those places, I don”t dare to make that assumption. But you are all so sincere and have invited me to say a few words. This being the case, I don”t hope that you will forgive me, but I will say that those of you who don”t want to hear what I have to say, please shut your ears. Those who are willing to hear what I have to say, feel free to listen on. (Laughter.)
Now what I said is not a joke, it”s absolutely the bald truth. This is a genuine expression of my heart, so why, if this is the case, might some of you be unwilling to listen
Why might some of you not want to hear what I have to say
Well, perhaps it”s because the things I have to say are not ordinary human talk, or normal human discourse. I assume it”s the case that the ants wouldn”t want to say the things that I have to say. People who know me, know that I often refer to myself as being like a mosquito, but the problem with being like a mosquito is they can only buzz, so nobody understands what mosquitoes say. So I don”t want to compare the things I say to a mosquito talk. But all the same, I will say there is a place where we are the same, which is the things I have to say to you are like a mosquito in that I always want to take blood from those who hear me buzz, the way a mosquito does.
The topic today, as soon as I saw it on the program, I thought, "Gee, I don”t understand that! The topic is called activating inner wisdom. Well, wisdom, as far as I know, is limitless and boundless, which is to say there is no way one can completely express it in words." So, here I am in a situation being unable to express the topic - - you can”t say it! You people want me to talk about it and I can”t talk about it. If you want an example of how to put it into practice, I can do that even less. I myself have no wisdom. So, if you ask me to come before you all and talk about wisdom, then it”s really a quandary. All the same I don”t want to disappoint your expectations, since all of you have been so sincere in requesting. So I thought that I will force it, (Translator: In Chinese this phrase is eloquent, and in English it takes about three sentences to say.) I”ll try to explain to you in a way that learns as I speak.
What I say to you is not my wisdom, I am not the source of my own wisdom. In fact, I have no wisdom to speak of. What I do have, is a stupidity. This is not so strange because you could say wisdom emanates from stupidity. But I want to learn the wisdom that I hope to attain from all of you. Especially, in the matters of how to become a good person. So, I can”t say that what I offer is the wisdom of wisdom, it is simply the wisdom of stupidity.
Now the stupidity that I am talking about does not depart from wisdom. In fact, stupidity is the source of wisdom. If you don”t have stupidity, there will be no wisdom. And yet, if you are looking for wisdom you will not find it apart from stupidity. Wisdom and stupidity (Translator: stupidity can also be translated as ignorance) are two things that are non-dual; they are one and the same. All the same, we people much prefer wisdom, we always aspire upwards towards wisdom. Nobody would openly admit that they prefer stupidity or ignorance. I myself, in…
