易被教誡和善友被佛陀說為一對善法 (AN2.96)
要知道,一日我們還不是阿羅漢,肯定還會有心靈上的缺陷、不善,肯定會有貪嗔癡;因此我們肯定有改進的空間
佛陀說,世間充斥著愚昧的人(SN56.63 )
人生在世,我們必然會遭遇到恆河沙數的批評,有一大部分並不用理會,有一部分卻要認真審視
隆波帕默說:【無戒、無法之人的批評,無須聽進去,我們僅需觀察——自己是否真如他所言般惡劣。但有戒、有法之人的批評,必須速速聽取,敞開心扉聽取。】
有戒、有法者的指正,很多時候能夠停止我們步向毀滅,因此應該感謝他們
Being receptive to admonishment and having good friends are praised by the Buddha as a pair of wholesome qualities (AN 2.96).
We must understand that as long as we are not yet arahants, we undoubtedly still have mental defilements and unwholesome qualities. Greed, aversion, and delusion are still present within us; therefore, there is certainly room for improvement.
The Buddha said that the world is full of ignorant people (SN 56.63).
Throughout our lives, we are bound to encounter countless criticisms. A significant portioncan be disregarded, but a certain portion must be carefully examined.
As Luang Por Pramote noted:
"When criticized by someone without virtue, without Dhamma, we don't need to take it to heart. We need only reflect — are we truly as flawed as they say? However, when criticized by someone with virtue, with Dhamma, we must listen quickly and with an open heart."
Corrections from those with virtue and Dhamma can often prevent us from heading toward ruin. Therefore, we should be grateful to them.
