台湾又有一个谣言,说:“你知道吗?宣化法师在美国,和一班邪皮在一起吸毒啊!那个邪皮吃LSD(迷幻药)、吸大麻,一粒LSD一吃,就惚惚悠悠的,好像到了极乐国似的,这个宣化法师他吃十几粒,都不动弹,也不这么惚惚悠悠到极乐世界去。所以这些邪皮都佩服了,于是乎就跟他出家。你们不要相信他!”
There is another rumor in Taiwan: You know what? Dharma Master Hsuan Hua takes drugs with the hippies in America. The hippies take LSD and marijuana. They can get high on just one capsule of LSD and feel as carefree as if they were in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. But Dharma Master Hsuan Hua can take more than ten capsules without being affected in the least. He doesn't get high or feel as carefree as if he were in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. That's why all those hippies admire him and left the home-life under him. Don't believe in him.
那么说来说去,邪皮也好,不邪皮也好,大家谁用功修行谁就好,谁不用功修行谁就不好。不是邪皮,你若不修行也不好;若是邪皮,你若能修行也一样好。所以佛教里头,不是口头禅所说的,要有真实的功夫,要有真实的受用,你不要在口头上说:“我得了定了!我有三昧!我有四昧!”那个人又创出个五昧来。
You can talk back and forth, but whether they are hippies or not does not matter. He who works hard in cultivation is good. He who does not work hard in cultivation is not good. If he is not a hippie, but he does not cultivate, that is not good. If he is a hippie and he cultivates, that is just as good. Therefore, in Buddhism, mere talking about cultivation doesn't count. There must be real practice and real benefit. Don't just say, I have concentration. I have this samadhi or that samadhi. And another person also comes up with another kind of samadhi.
现在我想起几句话来,和大家说一说,我说: Now I will tell everyone about some lines that I thought of: 口头说三昧,我对你不对;日久现原形,搞得满身罪。
Paying lip service to samadhi,They say, I am right and you are wrong.In time, their original appearance is revealed,And they are covered with offenses.
这是说的这个尽用口头禅,把佛教当儿戏,来随便乱讲乱说,也不负因果的责任。谁下拔舌地狱呢?就是这一类人。将来下拔舌地狱,那时候把舌头给拔出来,他不会说话了,那时候他说不出话,心里想:“唉呀!我真糟糕!我若知道这么样子,我就不应该开那种玩笑。”
This is saying that people just pay lip service to Buddhism and treat it as child's play. They talk carelessly without taking responsibility for the cause and effect. Who will fall into the hell of Ripping Out Tongues? Precisely that kind of people. When they get there, their tongues will be ripped out and they cannot talk anymore. In their minds they will think, What a mess I'm in. If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have fooled around like that.
总是口头三昧,总说:“我对,我自己对!你什么都不对!”你对,我也说你不对;你不对,我也说你不对。这是“我对你不对!”,你说这有公理没有?什么事情都是“我对你不对!”。“日久现原形”:时间一久了,“路遥知马力,日久见人心”,日久那个原形毕露了。“搞得满身罪”:满身都是罪业,入了拔舌地狱还不知道。
They always paid lip service to samadhi, saying, I'm right. You're wrong about everything. Even if you were right, I'd say you were wrong. And if you're wrong, I also say you're wrong. Would you say that is just? In everything, they say I am right and you are wrong. In time, their original appearance is revealed.After a long distance, one will know a horse's stamina.After a long time, one will see a person's heart.In time, their true form is uncovered. And they are covered with offenses. Their bodies are covered by offensive karma. They enter the Hell of Ripping Out Tongues without even realizing i
t.
说:“法师,你不要骂人哪,讲法骂什么人!”唉!我这不是骂人哪!我骂人?我天天都向那个蚊虫、蚂蚁叩头,我怎么敢骂人,不过我不能不说真理,真理是如此!
Dharma Master, don't scold people. As you speak the Dharma, why are you scolding people? you ask. I am not scolding anyone. I bow to the ants and mosquitoes every day; how would I dare to scold people? But I cannot refrain from telling the truth. The truth is just like that.
我再告诉你们各位,我有今天,就是这些个说我不对的人,来教我的,来帮助我的。所以这些个说我不对的人、毁谤我的人,都是我的善知识。他们都是我的师父,我的师父都是口头禅的,我现在所以会说口头禅,也就因为学我师父的。 Let me tell you, it's just those people that criticize me who have taught and helped me, making me the way I am today. So the people who criticize and slander me are all my Good and Wise Advisors. They are all my teachers. My teachers all pay lip service to Chan. The reason I know how to do it is because I learned it from my teachers.
我有这么几句话,我说:“众人是我师”:众人都是我的师父,不论哪一个,你是有血气的,我都要照你们学习。你们有好的,我就学好的;有坏的,我就学坏的;我要学得全身都是武艺,十八般兵刃件件精通,所以到比起武来,这绝招很多。“我是众人师”:我也是大家的师父。“时常师自己”:时常我还要以自己作为师父,自己也时常给人家作师父,所以大家互相提携,互相向这个菩提道路上勇猛精进,不要在娑婆世界这么打算盘,来争你强我胜的。我们看谁先走到极乐世界去!
I have another verse which begins: All people are my teachers. Everyone is my teacher. As long as you have blood and breath, I want to learn from you. If you are good, I learn the good. If you are bad, I learn the bad. I want to learn until I am a martial arts expert, skilled in all weapons. That way, when I am challenged to a fight, I will have many winning moves. I am a teacher for all people. I am also everyone's teacher. I always teach myself. I am very often a teacher for myself. I am also constantly a teacher for others. That way, everyone can encourage one another to vigorously advance on the Bodhi Way. Let's not linger in the Saha world, scheming and calculating about wins and losses. Let's see who will reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss first!
有人说:“法师你尽强辞夺理,骂人还不承认!你承认吗?你骂人你若承认,你就不会骂人的。对吗?”可是骂人的人,是“仰天自唾,还岔己身”。那么要喜欢被人骂,骂人给人加肥料呢!你那土地不肥沃,要上一点肥料,令你那五谷就长得茂盛了,你那果实也坚固了。
Someone says, Dharma Master, you keep arguing and refusing to admit that you are scolding people. Do you admit it? If you admit that you are scolding people, then you won't scold them anymore. Right? But the one who scolds people is like one who spits up into the skies, and gets the spit back on his own face. We should like being scolded, because when people scold us, they are giving us fertilizer. Our fields are not fertile, so they need to be fertilized. Then our crops will be abundant and our fruits will thrive.
说:“法师!你方才说众人是你的师父,那有好人,有坏人,都是你师父,你也学好,也学坏?”你这是误会了,所谓“众人是我师”,善者,是我的法师,我就效法他;恶者,是我的戒师,我自己不要学他那样子,所以众人都是我的师父。“时常师自己”,自己要常常提高警觉,不要做错了,不要用那个无明去做事,要用那个智慧。要用光明智慧来处理一切的问题,不要用那个愚痴、无明处理事情。人要把这个境界转过来,那个境界不要转我们人,我们再要“勿以善小而不为,勿以恶小而为之”。不要说,善很小的,我不要做了;那恶事很小的,我要做,做了也不要紧;譬如吃斋,吃个鸡蛋没有关系。没有关系?将来你去作鸡的时候,就知道那关系是从吃鸡蛋那儿来的。就这一点点小的问题,你弄不清楚,这叫“善恶夹杂,果报不爽”,不是很好玩的!
Dharma Master, you just said that all people are your teachers. But there are good people and bad people, and if you take them all as teachers, you will learn to be both good and bad, you object. You have misunderstood. When I say All people are my teachers, I mean that good people teach me how I should be, and I learn to be like them. Bad people teach me how I should not be, and I learn to not be like them. That's why all people are my teachers. I always teach myself. We ourselves must always be alert and not make mistakes, not act in ignorance. We should use bright wisdom in handling all matters instead of using stupidity and ignorance to take care of things. We must turn states around, rather than being turned by states. Do not fail to perform a good deed, thinking it is trivial. Do not perform an evil deed, thinking it is insignificant. Don't think, That good deed is trivial. I'm not going to do it. That bad deed is really minor. I'll go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter. For example, you think, I'm vegetarian, but it won't matter if I eat an egg. But in the future when you are reborn as a chicken, you will know that it was because you ate chicken eggs. If you are not clear in these small matters, then you are mixing good and evil, and the retribution will not be off. It's not fun at all.
今天我又发狂了,也不知道讲什么,我若讲的有得罪各位的,请你来打我一顿、骂我一顿,我都很欢喜的!
I've gone kind of crazy today, and I don't really know what I am saying. If I have offended you, please come up and give me a beating or scolding. I would be very delighted. (圆满全文完 The End )
