學到傾聽_Learned to Listen to

弟子虹福說　她學到了
上師輕輕說的
弟子要重重地聽

上師隨口說的
是多年修持佛法的自然反應
若能傾聽
　往往可以頓開茅塞

一般而言
　聽到師示每每自行七折八扣
　難望得益良多

還有的是一碰面
　就把「我要　我想　我認為」頒布了
留給上師的　
　是乖乖安住無我法界的無言
　　　　　（法界有聲而「無言」）

難得有人領悟到
傾聽師意的重要
寫出來
　或許可以感染一些
　　　　　分享法益

Learned to Listen to　Yutang Lin

Disciple Hong Fu (Rainbow Fortune) said, she had learned that
What Guru said lightly
As a disciple, she should listen to very carefully

What Guru said casually
Is a natural response born of many years of Dharma practices
If one could listen to attentively
　　　　 Often it might suddenly open up one's mind's eyes

Generally speaking
　　　　 Having heard Guru's words, one tends to modify it here and there
　　　　 Could hardly expect to receive much benefit in such a fashion

Some would, at the moment of encountering Guru
Immediately declare "what I want, what I think, what I consider to be"
Thus leaving for the Guru only the opportunity
To comply with by abiding in the non-speech of selfless Dharmakaya
　　　　　　　　 (Dharmakaya has sounds but "non-speech.")

Rare to have someone comprehended
The importance of listening carefully to Guru's intentions
Putting it in writing
　　　　 Perhaps some would be affected
　　　　　　 To share the Dharma benefits
