顶果钦哲扬希仁波切:上师与弟子的关系基于缘份
Basically teacher and student relation is not that complicated, but more about your own state of mind. Many times people feel that teacher is for every need of students but there is a lot of complication in that.
基本上,上师弟子关系并没有那么复杂,它更多的是反映了你自己的心态。很多时候大家认为上师可以满足弟子所有的需求,这让事情变得复杂。
It comes with conditions because teacher student relation is not something that can be created or can be stopped. The beginning and end of teacher student relation is very difficult to predict. Because teacher student relation begins when student feels real devotion to teacher.
上师弟子关系是基于缘份。它不是一件能够被制造或销毁的东西。它的开始和结束难以预测,因为它是从弟子对上师具有真实虔敬心之时开始的。
Many times it happens that students already have perception about teacher, so they want to find teacher who exactly fits perception of their own mind. Many students like teacher who is very peaceful, calm, and very soft spoken. But we don’t like the teacher who is actually good. We like the teacher who can fit our needs. Some teachers are very direct scolding a lot. Maybe the teacher wants to show students lesson to learn in a hard way. Nobody wants that. But we forget something we need a teacher who is really a teacher not entertainer.
很多情况下弟子已经对上师有了预判,他们想找一位与自己构想一样的上师。很多人偏爱外表平静、慈祥、轻声细语的上师,却不喜欢真正的好上师。我们喜欢的是能满足我们需要的上师。有些上师非常直接地训斥弟子。也许是因为上师想用严苛的方式让弟子领受教法。没人期待这种状况。我们忘记我们需要的是真正的上师,不是娱乐你的人。
If you want entertainer, you can go to theatre and you can watch comedy. But are they teaching Dharma? No. Always know what is important, know what you really need. Also very important to understand the fundamental idea - why student needs to rely on teacher is that one of the biggest work of teacher is for you to realize the inner teacher of yourself. If you rely on teacher with mundane thing, you just misuse the teacher and wasting the time of teacher and yourself. If you ask teacher what you need to know in your path, that’s how it should be.
如果你想要娱乐,你可以去剧院看喜剧。但那些艺人在教授佛法吗?不。你们要知道什么是最重要的,什么是真正必需的。上师最重要的工作是让你证悟你的内在上师,这是弟子为何要依止上师的根本原因。明白这个出发点非常重要。
如果你为了世间的俗事依止上师,这是在错误地使用上师。只是在浪费上师和你自己的时间。如果向上师请教在法道上需要知道的事情,这是正确的做法。
Basically teacher is here to teach Dharma, not to show off. Some teachers like to look for money, fame. But some teachers really try their best to show dharma to their students. These (the latter) are the teacher you need to follow.
根本上讲,上师在这里是为了教导佛法,不是为了炫耀。有些上师确实喜欢关注金钱、名声。但有些上师真正尽其所能地向弟子展现佛法。后者才是你需要追随的上师。
Human beings always believe in something they can relate to easily. That’s our tendency. That’s why even we find teacher, we need to find teacher we can relate to. But you need to find a teacher worthy being a teacher, not just you can relate to him. That’s very important.
人类总是相信那些他们容易产生联结的事物。这是我们的习惯。这也是为什么即便是寻找上师,我们也要寻找一位有缘的上师。但这还不够,你应该寻找一位值得成为上师的人,这非常重要。
The importance for outer teacher is for student to realize inner teacher. Purity of your mind is your inner teacher. But outer teacher is to show you that you have inner teacher, for you to realize and integrate with that. Why outer teacher is so important is that outer teacher is someone who can help you to reach such level. That’s great help. It’s not easy.
上师的重要性在于他能令弟子证悟内在上师。内心的单纯就是你内在的上师。但外在上师会向你展现出你拥有内在上师,使你意识到这一点,并且与之圆融。外在上师之所以如此重要,是因为他是帮你到达此处的那个人。这是多大的帮助,那并不容易。
Sometimes teacher will do all opposite what you want. That’s actually one of the tests for you. But you should know, teacher’s loyalty, compassion and trust for you will never go away. And your loyalty, confidence, trust for the teacher should never go away either. That’s very important. If both are not there, nothing can work. It’s very important matter, when it comes to practice and in your path.
有时候上师会做出各种违背你愿望的事。这实际上是对你的考验。你应该知道,上师对你的忠诚、慈悲、信任永不退减。而你对上师的忠诚、信心、信任也应该永不退减。这非常重要。缺少任何一方,它都不会奏效。尤其在实修和法道上,这非常关键。
Your devotion to teacher is not because of name, fame or position, that’s also very important. A real teacher should teach not to have big name. Sometimes people think we shall all follow teacher with the title of His Holiness. Shall we not follow the real teachers? That’s very stupid. Follow real teacher. No matter what their title is. Also very important to know the teachers’ commitment for the student is very important, but same time, the commitment student to teacher is way more important.
另外,你对上师的虔敬心不应该源于他的头衔、名声和地位,这也很重要。一位真正的上师不应该为了名气而教导。有时候,人们认为应该跟随拥有法王头衔的上师。我们不是应该跟随真正的上师吗?那样做是很愚蠢的。跟随真正的上师,不管他们的头衔是什么。上师对弟子的承诺是很重要,但于此同时,弟子对上师的承诺更加重要。
In order to please the teacher is to do as much as practice you can, purely and dedicate to the teacher. You give everything to the teacher, it’s not gonna make him happy and fulfill him. You be his servant, not make him that happy. You do the practice he tells you to do, gives him that, that’s the best you can give to the teacher.
为了令上师欢喜,你需要做的是尽力纯正地实修,并回向给上师。你供养上师任何物质,不会让他欢喜,令他满愿。服务你的上师,也不一定让他高兴。修持他嘱咐你要做的,那是对他最上乘的供养。
I notice now you feel that how to meet the real teacher and what will happen. It all depends in your hands. Really try to find a good teacher. Some of you feel worried you may not be able to find a teacher. It’s too late. How you should prepare for it? There’s nothing to prepare. It happens unexpectedly. But give yourself sometime to observe the teacher, and give teacher sometime to observe you. Please be very careful.
我注意到你们在担心该如何遇到真正的上师,以及之后会发生什么。这全都掌握在你的手中。真心尽力去寻找一位好上师。有人担心可能无法找到上师,好像太晚了,我应该如何准备?没有什么需要准备的。它会发生在意料之外。但是你要花些时间去观察上师,也要给上师时间来观察你。请各位对此格外当心。
