Hello,everyone! It’s honored to be with you all to learn together again. We will have fun studying the following contents together.
1 Greed will make you be led by a visible or invisible rope all day long
Greed can make you satisfied and comfortable forever, but you will always be led by it to be comfortable, that is to say, if it does not lead you, you will not have comfortableness!
While you are being led by the rope, you should know that this is the consequence of greed: you will always be led by it.
The eight sufferings and afflictions are all lined up in that area. You have to suffer them all.
You are led by the visible or invisible rope all day long, even to the abyss, but you are still going forward. You have to go forward even though you know and you are looking at it, because you had to go forward, it’s holding you. (When you see, hear, or feel to trigger the habit,it is called visible. When you don’t see, hear, or feel and the habits burst out on their own ,it is called invisible.)
2The great benefit of cherishing the good advisor
A thought of cherishing the good advisor, like protecting our eyes, even if the good knowledge does not speak the Dharma, it is much more superior than how to learn by ourselves, how to ask, than how to speak and how to demonstrate the Dharma by the good advisor! It can cross the barrier of Dharma and even all barriers!
Because cherishing the good advisor is a key that can open the door to obstacles and even all the doors to attain goodness!
Cherishing the good advisor to the limit, is that all your words are good words,that all your beatings of me are good,even that if now all of a sudden you say that shit is delicious, then I will promise to go to eat it.
This cherishing the good advisor also falls within the scope of veneration and respect, and is far beyond veneration and respect.
According to the Buddha’s scriptures, it is called like protecting your own eyes. That is to say, the more you cherish the good advisor, the greater it is than your offerings, that is, cherishing the good advisor is greater than your offerings.
The good advisor is a great living treasure, a great treasure, the more you ask, the more you have;the more you dig, the more you have!
Even if you don’t ask or dig, the more you cherish him, the greater it is , the more it is, the better it is, the more extraordinary it is for you! It is a true proof that if all Bodhisattvas make good use of their minds, they will gain all the excellent and wonderful training and results!
So I vow that I and all sentient beings, with equaling thusness, will cherish the teacher Bennie and all his teachings, cherish all the Buddhas and all their teachings,and will all cherish all good advisers as if they were protecting their own eyes!
3If you use your mind skillfully, you can obtain excellent and wonderful training and results
Remember, sometimes, if you use your mind skillfully, you can gain excellent and wonderful training and results, and that is not a lie.
Every little bit of it comes from how you use your mind. For example, if you use the mind of afflictions, if you use the mind of wisdom, or if you use the mind that can attain benefits or something from others.
There is another kind of mind that, after you finish using it, you will lose what you should have gained.
For example, the mind of arrogance, the antagonistic mind, like the one that some people often engage in, sometimes it scares me, why do I not dare to say anything ? I don’t dare to say anything. Because once she confronts, she will have to spit out easily what she has already gained.
I vow that all sentient beings,with equaling thusness, will apply their minds skillfully in every little bit, and that they will be primarily guided by wisdom to obtain all the wonderful and subtle training and results quickly, and that they will not firmly have to be antagonistic and be in arrogance to make them have to spit out the goodness that they should have gotten!
