복, 화 10) 선칠 (218) - 20231205

반드시 좋은 일을 해서 복이 충분한지에 대해 걱정하지 않도록 하세요. 계속해서 진전하기 위해 좋은 복이 성숙할 수 있는 연을 만드세요. 나쁜 일을 피하세요. 좋은 일만 하세요. 다른 사람을 해치는 것을 피하세요. 싸움을 피하세요. 그런 것들을 피한다면, 여러분은 더 많은 복을 짓습니다. 더 많은 좋은 복이 성숙하고, 수행을 돕는 조건들을 만드는 것입니다. 수행할 때, 당신은 화살처럼 곧아야 합니다. 거짓말을 하지 마세요.

 

선칠 때, 화가 나고 다른 사람에게 화를 내는 것이 정당하다고 느낀다면, 화를 내지 마세요. 거기에는 이유가 필요하지 않습니다. 그렇게 하는 이유는 제가 여러분에게 그렇게 말했기 때문입니다. 여러분은 그저 앉아서 누군가에게 화를 내는 것을 정당화하는 이 모든 변명을 바라보기만 하면 됩니다. 그냥 앉아서 아무 것도 하지 마세요. 그런 생각에 따라 반응하지 마세요. 이유가 무엇이든, 아무리 정당하든 간에 여러분은 화를 내면 안 됩니다.

 

Make sure that you do the good things so you don't have to worry about that you have enough blessings. Make sure you have conditions conducive for good blessings to mature for you to continue to progress. Avoid doing bad things. Do only good things. Avoid harming others. Avoid fighting. If you avoid those things, you're creating more blessings. You're creating conditions that are conducive for more good blessings to mature, to help your practice. When you cultivate, you want to be as straight as an arrow. Don't lie.

 

During Chan Qi, if you get angry and you feel so justified in being angry at someone else, don't get angry. That's all you have to do. You don't need a reason. The only reason you need is because I told you so. All you have to do is sit there and look at all these excuses you're coming up with to justify your losing your temper at someone. Just sit there, and do nothing. Don't act upon those thoughts. You should not get angry no matter what the reasons are, no matter how, how well justified it is.
