【不离】法王如意宝：哪种人可以造论？
是不是所有论典都值得恭敬
Are All Shastras Worthy of Respect?
在佛教中，释迦牟尼佛传下来的佛典，叫做“经”；
The Buddhist teachings that came from Shakyamuni Buddha are called sutras;
佛陀涅槃之后，历代高僧大德所造的，则称为“论”。
the teachings that were composed after the Buddha’s parinirvana by eminent monks and masters throughout history are referred to as shastras.
当然，经典肯定有不可思议的功德。
Of course, the sutras definitely have inconceivable merit.
而高僧大德和圣者撰著的论典，虽然不是佛陀亲口所说，
As for the shastras by eminent monks, masters, and noble ones, although the Buddha himself did not speak them,
但若与佛陀的密意相合，我们也应敬如佛说。
if they conform to Buddha’s profound and hidden meanings, then we should also respect them as if Buddha spoke them.
或许有人会问：“那是不是所有论典都值得恭敬呢？” 并非如此！
Perhaps some will ask, “Then are all shastras worthy of respect?” The answer is not necessarily!
假如一个人没有通达佛教经论，却四处宣讲佛法、撰写论典，
If people have not thoroughly understood the Buddhist sutras and shastras but travel around spreading the Buddhadharma and writing commentaries,
这对自他不一定真正有利。
this does not necessarily benefit them or others.
在佛教中，造论者必须具足三种条件之一：
According to Buddhist teaching, a shastra creator must meet one of three conditions:
上等造论者必须是登地菩萨，
A superior creator must be a bodhisattva on the first level or above;
中等者是面见本尊，
an average one must have directly seen his or her meditation deity;
下等者必须精通五明。
and a basic one must be thoroughly versed in the five traditional sciences.
倘若不具备以上资格，纵然所著洋洋洒洒、包罗万象，
Unless these conditions are met, then even if one has written voluminous and all-encompassing compositions,
也无法指引众生离苦得乐。
these shastras still cannot lead beings away from suffering and toward happiness.
那么，对于登地菩萨所造的论典，后人有没有争议呢？
Then, do followers debate over the shastras created by bodhisattvas on the first level or above?
当然也不乏辩论。
There is surely no shortage of disputes.
例如，对宗喀巴大师、米拉日巴尊者及觉囊派、萨迦派中许多大成就者所著的论典，到今天，仍是存在着不同的声音。
For instance, regarding the shastras composed by Master Tsongkhapa, Venerable Milarepa, as well as many highly accomplished masters in the Jonang and Sakya traditions, there remains much disagreement today.
但我认为，作为一个普通凡夫，因为智慧有限，
But I believe that for us ordinary people, given our limited wisdom,
若想驳倒圣者菩萨的教言，就如乌鸦想伪装成大鹏一样，绝对不可能获胜。
to refute the teachings of noble bodhisattvas would be like the crow that tries to disguise itself as a great condor—we couldn’t possibly succeed.
若想造论，不管是谁，都不能有追求名闻利养的私心。
Anyone who wishes to create a shastra must not harbor the selfish intention of seeking fame and fortune.
同样，传法、辩论、闻法、修行也是如此。
This is also true for teaching, debating, studying, and practicing the Dharma.
否则，没有一颗清净的利他心，
Otherwise, without pure altruism,
外表上再怎么伪装行善，所做的一切也毫无意义。
even though one may go through the motions of doing good deeds, everything done with that impure mind will be utterly meaningless.
只有断了一己私利，之后再为别人传法，或是听闻佛法，功德才会像天人的甘露般能够遣除一切违缘！
Only if one has eliminated all self-interest before beginning to spread the Dharma or study the Buddhist teachings would the merit dispel all adversities like the nectar of devas.
