第四十九节


活佛的言行举止

SECTION 49. The Language and Behavior of Tulkus

 

 

作为上师活佛,如果放逸无度,破了戒、破了誓言,那么你今天在高高的法座上、精美的伞盖下,明天就会一落千丈。

As gurus or tulkus, if you are immoderately reckless, it is very possible to break precepts and vows. This means you may sit on the high throne and under the elegant parasol today, but tomorrow you could suffer a sudden, devastating decline.

 

使你从法座与伞盖之间很快堕落下去的,没有比放逸更可怕的了。

Nothing is scarier than recklessness, which can quickly pull you down from the throne and parasol.

 

特别是,小活佛要谨慎小心,

Little tulkus should be cautious and careful in particular.

 

就像俗话所说:“母马生的小马有九劫难,渡过九劫就是烈马。”

As the old saying goes, “Newborn ponies have to undergo hardship for nine eons; after nine eons they will become fierce horses.”

 

对小活佛来说,小时候违缘很多。

Therefore little tulkus have many unfavorable conditions when they are young.

 

 

其实,对你们而言,清净戒律是根本,如果在它的基础上,还具有智慧和禅定,那就是至高无上的。

In fact, as far as you are concerned, pure precepts are the foundation; on top of which, if you have wisdom and meditative concentration, that is supreme.

 

即便没有智慧和禅定,但如果具有清净戒律,不管怎样,你已经被认定为活佛,坐上了活佛的位置,现在就不会有一个人说“你不是活佛”。

Even if you have no wisdom or concentration, as long as you have pure precepts, since you have already been recognized as a tulku and have the tulku throne, nobody will say you are not a tulku.

 

你们即使不能变得越来越高,也千万不要越来越下堕。

Even if you cannot manage to make progress, ensure that you will not degenerate as time goes on.

 

 

可是,如今有的人不小心谨慎,破了戒、破了誓言,在此基础上还假装说各种各样的神通,我是根本不相信的。

However, nowadays some people are incautious; after they break precepts and vows, they pretend and tell people that they have clairvoyance. I don’t believe them at all.

 

如果说得多了,碰运气可能会有个别说得准,就像人们常讲的“喝酸汁时身体会哆嗦”。

If they talk lots of clairvoyance, they might say something correct by luck — just as it has been said, “When you drink sour drink, your body is going to shiver.”

 

但还有句俗话说:“真的,经考验,如长长山谷;假的,快露馅,如老鼠尾巴。”

But there is another saying: “The authentic can stand trial, like a long valley; the fake will quickly be revealed, like the tail of a mouse.”

 

意思是,如果是真的,那时间会证明一切,如果是假的,很快就会暴露无遗。

Meaning, if it is authentic it can be proved with time; if it is fake it will soon be uncovered.

 

 

因此,你们假装说神通是第一个不成功,假装取伏藏是第二个不成功,假装显成就相是第三个不成功。

Therefore it is a first failure if you pretend to have clairvoyance and tell lies to people, it is a second failure if you pretend to be able to reveal hidden treasures, and it is a third failure if you pretend to have attained accomplishments.

 

如果自己想得到活佛的地位,不管别人说你是活佛也好、说不是也好,只要自己守护清净戒律,那么包括天人在内,都会把你当作活佛、当成供养处来恭敬。

If you want to attain the status of a tulku, no matter that people say you are a tulku or not, as long as you can uphold pure precepts, everyone including celestial beings will regard you as a tulku and venerate you as a merit field.

 

但如果你没有守护戒律,即使能说会道也没用的。

However, if you do not maintain your precepts, even if you have a silver tongue it won’t help.

 

如果修行没有达到一定境界而放逸,那就是下堕的因。

Idling without any accomplishment is just a cause for degeneration.

 

 

小活佛们,还是要小心翼翼,你想成为高尚的人也在于自己,想成为低劣的人也在于自己。

Young tulkus should always be cautious; it is completely up to you whether you want to be a noble person or an inferior one.

 

真正能把你们这些上师活佛往下拽的,是什么呢?就是年轻的女人。

What is absolutely going to drag you gurus and tulkus down? Young women!

 

小僧人的真正敌人,也是她们。

They are truly the genuine enemies of young monks.

 

少女会把你们扔到下劣之地,所以务必要当心。

Girls can throw you guys down into inferior places, so you must be careful.
