Learning repeatedly can be the way for us to realize the unfamiliar but very important wisdom. Therefore, do not belittle our ability to learn.

◎當學生對老師的恭敬心大為減少時，學習效果自然也隨之大為降低。【日常師父法語】

All examples and analogies, all ways of thinking are pointing to this conclusion – to make us happy, to help us obtain coolness, to rid us of entanglement in life.

◎認識佛法後，了解今天所受的苦，都是以前自己造業所感的，所以我要忍受。所謂「觀業忍受求加持」──現在我不再因循舊習而且要努力依法扭轉。【日常師父法語】

Knowing Buddha’s teaching, we understand whatever we are suffering today comes from the karmas we created in the past. Thus we have to put up with it. The so-called “observe the karma, endure, and pray for assistance from Bodhisattvas” means – now I am no longer driven by old habituated tendencies and will strive to make some change.  – Master Jih Chang

[廣海明月] 2019/3/25

修行自己什麼呢？就是要把痛苦的、不悅意的、纏繞身心的那些麻煩，透過聽聞佛法的緣故，能夠慢慢去解除種種繫縛，讓佛法成為生命清涼的一劑美藥，而且我們服著的時候覺得很愉悅、很歡喜。

What do we cultivate in ourselves? It is to rid us, through listening to Buddha’s teaching, of those binding afflictions – those painful, unpleasant, obsessive ones. It makes Buddha’s teaching the life-cooling antidote that makes us delighted and rejoicing when taking it.

[Master Jenru‧Moonlight in the Sea of Lamrim] Vol 1 P42

[師父法語] 2019/3/25

◎我們周遭的人，影響我們最大、最直接的是父母和老師。他們的習慣、概念不管是好是壞，都會深深地影響我們。以前的教育教人怎麼做聖賢，菩薩是為了救人，救到最後，自己會也被救；現在的教育是教人怎麼賺錢、求名利，結果不但害人，到最後，自己也會被害。【日常師父法語】

Among people around us, parents and teachers bring us the greatest and the most direct influence. Their habits and concepts, good or bad, both influence us deeply. In the past, education is to teach people how to be sages and men of virtue. Bodhisattvas are to save others and eventually be saved themselves. Nowadays education is to teach people how to earn fortune and fame. It not only harms others but also themselves in the end.  – Master Jih Chang

[師父法語] 2019/3/24

◎學了以後要立志，也就是佛法所說的「發菩提心」，發了心以後要認真行持，在行持的過程中，「過則勿憚改」。【日常師父法語】

After learning, we shall have the determination, the so-called “giving rise to Bodhicitta” in Buddhism. After having the determination, we need to practice on it diligently. In the process of practice, do not dread to correct any mistakes. – Master Jih Chang

[師父法語] 2019/3/23

◎人跟畜生不一樣的地方是，畜生只管吃的、玩的，對內心稍微深一點的層面完全不管。【日常師父法語】

The difference between humans and animals is: animals only care about eating and having fun and are not interested in things of deeper levels at all.  – Master Jih Chang

師父舉的每一個喻，其實你在你的內心上觀察一下，都可能發現一種現行。不透過這些喻，實際上我們很難把佛法在身心上找到落腳點。

After some inward observation, you see the activity corresponding to every example the Late Master gives in His teaching. Without these examples, it is actually very hard for us to find the acting points of Buddha Dharma in our bodies and minds.

[師父法語] 2019/3/22

◎我們處處地方記住─進思盡忠、退思補過。做事時，盡心盡力去做，做完了回過頭來想想「我那裡做不夠、不對」，不斷把壞的改進，好的增長。最後自然而然達到圓滿境地。【日常師父法語】

We must always remember – have loyalty at work and introspection at rest. When we are at work, do it all out; after that, reflect on “where I have not done it sufficiently and perfectly.” We keep correcting mistakes and increasing good deeds. Finally and naturally we shall reach perfection. – Master Jih Chang

什麼是增上慢呢？就認為自己已經獲得自己尚未獲得的殊勝所證法，心高舉為本性，這就是增上慢。 What is pride in spiritual superiority? It is the false assumption to think of oneself as obtaining the superior realized truth that actually have not been obtained. Then, with such false assumption, one essentially holds himself in high esteem, which is pride in spiritual superiority.

為什麼我們沒有真實地認識，會產生增上慢呢？或者判斷別人判斷錯了，或者判斷自己。 Why do we fail to truly understand the reality and consequently give rise to such pride? Or we misjudge others to be wrong… or misjudge ourselves.

「真實地認識」請問是來源於何處呢？現在我們大家都知道一定要詳盡地、仔細地聽聞教典，然後開始廣泛地去辨析、了解，透過扎實地對教典的學習、對教理的聞思修，我們才能夠知道判斷的界限。 Where do “truly understanding the reality” come from? Now we know we must detailedly and carefully learn from and listen to the scriptures, and then broadly analyze and understand them. Only through solid learning the scriptures, along with listening to, pondering on, and practicing the doctrines, can we distinguish the boundaries of judgement.

◎了解生命無限後預作準備，不僅自己這一生享用，來生也可受用，不僅自利也利他。我們可以糊里糊塗的來，不可以糊里糊塗的去。【日常師父法語】

Understanding and being prepared for your infinite lives not only benefit your current life but lives hereafter. Likely, they not only benefit ourselves but others. We can be born ignorant, but we shall not die ignorant.  – Master Jih Chang

[廣海明月] 2019/3/20

這個「次第」一定是步步離苦、步步得樂，它是從眼下的迷惘、眼下的沉悶，慢慢地變清晰，看清腳下踩的是什麼？當下一步的離苦得樂究竟是怎麼走法？所以還是回歸到佛法的實用性，它非常非常地貼緊我們的身心，它是腳踏實地的一條路，不是玄而又玄的空中樓閣。

The "lamrim" must be to escape suffering and obtain happiness step by step. It is to gradually clear out the oppression and confusion at the moment and see clearly on what ground we make our steps. Therefore, when it comes to the practicability of Buddha Dharma, it is closely related to our bodies and minds. It is a realistic path, instead of mysterious castle in the air.

[Master Jenru‧Moonlight in the Sea of Lamrim] Vol 1 P36

[師父法語] 2019/3/20

◎我們周遭所受的一切，都是自找的。我們覺得自己沒有做壞事，其實不盡然是這樣，甚至於很多壞事我們都參與其中！「業」馬上回到我們身上，造了壞事將來得回頭來受果報！有意固然是造業，無意地參與其中也是造業！【日常師父法語】

Whatever happens to us, we had it coming. We thought we did nothing evil, but it is not necessarily the case. We even take part in a lot of evil activities. Then the “karma” comes back to us, and we suffer for our previous wrongdoings. No doubt we create karmas when doing it consciously. We also create karmas when taking part unintentionally. – Master Jih Chang

◎現在的世界，物質越來越強，精神越來越衰退，這種力量到最後變成毀壞我們自己。【日常師父法語】

◎如果起心動念都能代人著想，處處地方都能夠考慮別人，自然別人就很喜歡你，對你好。【日常師父法語】

If you are considerate at every thought and motivation and think about others at all occasions, people will naturally like you and be kind to you.  – Master Jih Chang

[師父法語] 2019/3/17

◎皈依不是嘴巴上的念皈依，而是可以在腦筋當中去觀，怎麼觀呢？不是把佛像觀起來，而是靜下心來，觀想釋迦世尊坐在前面，你正在祈求祂；或很認真地去思惟釋迦世尊的功德，光這樣做就有很不可思議的效果。【日常師父法語】

To take refuge is not to do it verbally only but to contemplate in your mind. How do you do that? It is not to contemplate just the image of Buddha but to calm down, contemplate Śākyamuni, world-honored one, in front of you and pray to Him. You can also ponder on good qualities of Śākyamuni, which would be enough to have miraculous effects on you. – Master Jih Chang

◎念死擺第一，當你念死時，你會將時間浪費掉嗎？【日常師父法語】

◎皈依是進入佛法的第一步，想要持續下去，必須如法集聚資糧，才能漸次產生正面的功效。【日常師父法語】

在宇宙間、在天地間、在人世間，曾經有這樣一顆心，而且他現在也是存在的，這顆心是存在的。他心中有一個量，這個量，就是對所有的事情完全沒有顛倒的看法；他的見解一如既往地清澈和準確，乃至精確，沒有一絲絲的錯謬。

There has been such one heart in the universe, in heaven and on earth, and in the world of humans. Now he still persists, and so does this heart. He has a deliberation in his mind that comprehends all things with no misconception. His viewpoints are clear and correct as usual, or let’s say, precise, without any fault.

◎我們無始以來習氣的力量非常強大，就像坐在火車上，根本不覺得火車在動，住在地球上，看不見地球在轉一樣。雖然看不見事情的真相，但我們卻住在地球上，跟著地球轉；我們隨著業流轉而無可奈何，這就是當你想努力皈依的時候，卻提不起來的原因。所以，若不以強大的心力去思惟的話，根本不可能策動我們去持戒。【日常師父法語】

Our habitual behavior since beginningless time is so strong that it is like: you don’t feel the train moving when you are in the train and you don’t see the earth spinning when you live on earth. We are easily susceptible to our karma but have no way out. This is why you cannot give rise to the aspiration when you want to take refuge. Therefore, without reflection with strong mental power, it is unlike to inspire us to observe precepts.  – Master Jih Chang

People like us, with true understanding, will easily give rise to arrogance.

◎我們無始以來的習氣，只知道自己，不會考慮別人。乃至於對自己最重要的人─把自己帶到這世界來的父母都不管。【日常師父法語】

談到棄自自在，談何容易啊！自己的習性，會一直把自己拉到自己特別執著的那個地方，所以這個時候要再把自己努力拉回來。

在拉拔的過程中，一不小心對善知識非理作意，會認為善知識不信任自己、不重視自己，甚至會懷疑善知識覺得自己沒用，這樣的心思一旦出現，又沒有及時調整，就會跌入觀察過失、非理作意等等這樣的深淵。

When talking about giving up our independence, it is by no mean easy. Our habitual behavior will draw our attention back to what we are in particular obsessed with. Thus we should strive to pull ourselves back.

In the process of struggle, with recklessness and improper mental orientation toward our gurus, we may think the gurus do not trust nor value us, or even doubt the benefits of the gurus for us. With such mentality and without timely correction, we fall into the abyss of observing faults and improper mental orientation.

在每一節課之前，聽聞動機的策動是很必要的一個習慣，非常希望大家能夠養成這樣的一個習慣。

Before the start of each class, giving rise to the motivation for listening is an essential habit. I truly hope everyone to cultivate such habit.

However, to cultivate such habit, we need to deliberately train ourselves, or otherwise we will forget about it. After a long time we may even ignore it, considering the benefits of hearing the teaching as unimportant. Then we will actually depreciate the Dharma, which leads very great loss.

◎孝子，即是父母希望我們怎樣，我們就盡心盡力去做。學習也是一樣，老師希望我們怎麼做，我們盡心盡力去做，而不會說「那個不行，這個也不行」，恨不得自己隨著自己的意趣去做。【日常師父法語】

Being a filiat child is meant to work hard to meet the expectation of the parents. Learning is the same. Whatever our teachers hope us to do, we do it all out. We would not say “I can’t do this. I can do that”, wanting to do as we wish.  – Master Jih Chang

我以前曾經問過仁波切說：「我覺得自己有點笨，怎麼樣能夠變得聰明一些呢？怎麼樣可以修成不忘陀羅尼，學什麼馬上都能記住？」

後來仁波切就走到我旁邊，把經典在我頭上輕輕拍了三下，說：「給你不忘陀羅尼了！」然後說：「重複！重複！重複！」

所以重複地學習，可能是我們領會一個我們並不熟悉的、很重要的智慧的辦法。

Once I asked Rinpoche “I think of myself as a little foolish. How can I become smarter? How can I achieve dhāraṇī for forgetting nothing and remember whatever I learn instantly?”

Rinpoche walked toward me and patted my head with the classics three times, saying “Now I have given you dhāraṇī for forgetting nothing.” Then he said “Repeat! Repeat! Repeat!”

Therefore, repetitive learning can be an important and wise way for us to learn something we are unfamaliar with.

Our diets have cause direct harm to our health and the greatest damage to economy. If we can change our diet, the whole environment and our disposition towards acts of violence can also be changed.

師父教導我們捨惡取善，原則要非常清楚，縱容惡習的所謂關愛是錯誤的；只講原則而沒有去體諒他人、為他人著想，也會讓學的人非常地辛苦，甚至退心。所以，如何將生命的原則和動人的關愛完美地融合，真的是一種長久的修練。

The Late Master taught us to eliminate the evil and obtain the virtuous. The principles have to be very clear. The so-called care and love with indulgence in evil practices are very wrong. If we talk about principles without understanding and being considerate for others, it will give a hard time for learners or even creating retrogression.

Therefore, it is long-term practice for us to find out how to integrate principles of life and influential care and love perfectly.

◎佛出世是站在出污泥而不染的蓮花上，如同惡劣的環境是我們最好的增長滋養，最髒的東西，是最肥沃的有機土。【日常師父法語】

When the Buddha was born, He stood on a lotus blossom, which grew out of mud but remained untainted, just as the worst circumstances nourish our good qualities the best. The dirties things are the most fertile organic soil. – Master Jih Chang

[師父法語] 2019/3/3

◎孝悌有個特徵—處處要代別人想，這就是「仁」的真正中心，也是儒家的基本精神，佛法更是在這個基礎上才能談得更深廣。所以孝經上面講「德之本也，教之所由生也。」【日常師父法語】

The feature of filial piety and fraternal duty is -- being considerate -- the true kernel of benevolence and the fundamental spirit of Confucianism. Based on this, the Buddha Teaching goes even deeper. Therefore, The Classic of Filial Piety says "This is the basis of all good qualities and where the teaching comes from. – Master Jih Chang

[師父法語] 2019/3/2

◎孝順父母的人，就不會樣樣都自己作主；不以自己為主，就容易接受別人的意見，容易設身處地的代人設想。這樣的人，不但與人相處融洽，而且容易得到別人的指導，因而可以學到很多東西。【日常師父法語】

Those with filial piety do not act according to their will only. They do not put themselves in high priority so they become acceptive to the ideas of others and are considerate for them. People like this not only get well along with others but also receive teachings from others easily. Therefore, they can learn a lot.
