【不离】法王如意宝:不要妄言“我什么都不怕”
不要妄言“我什么都不怕”
Do Not Wildly Claim to Fear Nothing
在我的身边,有些人平时尽讲空话,
There are some people around me who are full of hollow words.
说什么“轮回涅槃不存在”
They say things like “neither samsara nor nirvana exists”;
“一切善恶无取舍”
“not grasping nor rejecting good or evil”;
“我对什么都不怕”,
“I fear nothing”;
口中也随便哼着一些密法的偈子……
and then they casually hum some tantric verses.
这些人虽然嘴上说什么都不怕,但遇到一点小小的挫折,马上就开始惊恐不安;
These people say they fear nothing, but when they encounter the slightest setback, they are seized with terror.
虽然声称对一切无取无舍,但看到一些美色、钱财,立刻就露出欣喜的神色。
They claim they do not grasp or reject anything, but when they meet a beautiful woman or see money, their expression instantly reveals delight.
他们自认为是大修行人,却从不在大悲、智慧方面做丝毫努力,
They believe themselves to be experienced practitioners, yet they never make any effort to cultivate great compassion or wisdom.
根本不知道这才是衡量自己是否证悟的标准。
They do not realize at all that these alone are the true measures of enlightenment.
还有一些人,说轮回是本来清净,无有什么可舍的,哪怕下地狱也无所谓。
Then there are those who say samsara is pure by nature; there is nothing to let go of; even if they go to hell, it matters not to them.
话虽如此,可当别人说他是骗子时,他顿时火冒三丈、怒不可遏。
If others call them liars when they say such things, they burst into fury and rage out of control.
既然你连地狱都不怕,为何还要怕一个普通人的恶语呢?
If you are not even scared of hell, why fear the insults of an ordinary person?
你见到人间的监狱都毛骨悚然,
You experience a chilling terror when you see even a worldly prison;
那地狱的痛苦更甚于此亿万倍,
the suffering in the hell realm is a million, a billion times worse.
说不怕是绝不可能的事。
It is absolutely impossible that you do not fear it.
真正的大成就者,确实没有苦乐的取舍,
The truly accomplished masters indeed do not grasp or reject happiness or suffering.
既没有对佛果的希求,也没有对轮回的恐惧。
They do not search for buddhahood, nor do they fear samsara.
但我们到底有什么样的境界?
But which realm of awareness do we actually inhabit?
自己应该心知肚明。
Surely we should know this in our heart.
常见有些人修持了一点世间善法,
Often we come across people who have cultivated a few worldly virtuous deeds,
如念了三亿遍观音心咒后,就说自己现在连死也不怕了。
like chanting the Avalokiteshvara heart mantra one hundred million times, and they allege that they no longer fear even death.
一方面看,修善法的功德确实不可思议,
On the one hand, there is indeed inconceivable merit in cultivating virtuous deeds.
但另一方面,你也应该想一想,
But on the other hand, you should also ponder this:
根据佛经的道理,有时哪怕是生一刹那的嗔恨心,也会断尽无数的善根资粮,
According to the teachings in the sutras, a single moment of anger is enough to ruin immeasurable virtue and merit.
而你又曾生过多少嗔心呢?
Now, how many angry thoughts have you ever had?
所以千万不要认为自己很了不起。
So you should not think of yourself as being very remarkable.
我曾遇到一个出家人,他说空话比较厉害,
I once met a monk who had quite a strong habit of speaking hollow words.
我好心劝告他:“你要注意啊,你的见解并不高,应该踏踏实实地修行。”
I kindly advised him, “You need to take care. Your insight is not yet profound, so you should practice steadily.”
他听后却不以为然:“没事!我每天都在用转经轮,一点也不害怕地狱。”
He did not think much of it: “It’s fine! I use the prayer wheel every day. I am not scared of hell at all.”
作为凡夫,千万不要太自以为是。
As an ordinary person, you must not think too highly of yourself.
如果你明明喜欢得到,不喜欢失去;
Perhaps you still like gaining, not losing;
喜欢快乐,不喜欢痛苦;
you like happiness, not suffering;
喜欢被称扬,不喜欢被谩骂,
you like to be praised, not insulted.
整天被世间八法吹得团团转,却自称对一切都不执著,
You claim not to be attached to anything, but all day long you are swept around in circles by the eight worldly dharmas.
那只是自欺欺人罢了。
If that is the case, then you are merely deceiving yourself and others.
