불제자의 길 - (7) - Those who follow the teaching of Buddha .

[gamrosoo]

!! ; Following is the bi-weekly Dharma Teaching to be sent on the 1st and 15th of every month for  the Ghamrosoo members .  

      무집착 (無集着)

허공을 날으는 새의 자취처럼 ,     

무엇인가 집착함이 없이 ,

막힘 없는 해탈의 경지에 들면 ,

어디에고 자취를 남기지 않는다 .  - 법구경

(如鳥飛虛空  而無有所碍   彼人獲無漏  空無相願定 )   

He whose appetites are stilled ,

who is not absorbed in enjoyment ,

who has peceived the Void,

the Unconditioned,

the Abosolute ,

his path is difficult to understand,

like that of bird in the air .  -  Dhammapada 

      **부처님을 따른는 자    -불설도리천위모설법경 (佛設도利天爲母設法經)   

 부처님을 따르는 자는 모든 것이 공허한 것임을 알지만 함부로 대하지 않고 ,인간사에 속하는 것들을  있는 대로  받아들여서 깨달음을 추구하는데 알맞은 수단으로 삼는다

     **Those who follow the teaching of Buddha                                          -   Mahammaya-sutra .

 Those who follow the teaching of Buddha, because they understand that everything is characterized by 'non-substan-taility ' do not treat lightly the things that enter into a man's

life , but they receive them for what they are and then try to make them fit tools for Enlightenment .

 불제자들은 이 세상은 무의미하고 혼란으로 차 있다거나 , 깨달음의 세계는 온통 뜻깊고 평온하다고  생각하지 말고 , 이 세상 모든 것에서 깨달음의 길을 경험해야 한다 .

They must not think this world is meaningless and filled with confusion , while the world of Enlightenment is full of meaning and peace .   Rather , they should taste the way of Enlightenment in all the affairs of this world .

 무지몽매해서 눈이 불결한 자가 보는 세계는 죄악이 가득하지만 , 맑은 지혜의 눈으로 보면 깨달음의 세계로 보인다 .

 If a man looks upon the world with defiled eyes dimmed by ignorance , he will see it filled with error; but if he looks upon it with clear wisdom,  he will see it as the world of Enlightenment , which it is .

뜻 있고  좋은 세계와 뜻 없고 나쁜 세계가 따로 있지 않고 세계는 오직 하나인데 , 다만 사람이 구별하는 기능을 가지고 있기 때문에 둘로 보이는 것이다 .

The fact is there is only one world , not two worlds , one meaningless and the other full of meaning , or one good and the other bad .  people only think there are two worlds , due to  their discriminating faculty .

 사람이 만일 차별의식을 버리고 지혜(智慧)로 빛나는 순수한 마음을 지닌다면  뜻 있는 것이 가득한 세계 하나만을 볼것이다 .

 If they could rid themselves of these discriminations and keep their minds pure with the light of wisdom,  then they would see only one world in which everything is meaning-ful .

      **Humility

 The way of the monastic is to give all credit and glory to others and let all embarrassments and crusing fall upon oneself .  The sixth patriarch HuiNeng once said to

look only at one's own faults and to avoid seeing others' shortcomings. 

 Your humility should increase  as the path deepens .  Respect all as buddha ,  treat enemies  as if they were your parents ,  and warmheart-edly respect everyone  , including children , beggars and evil-doers .

 In addition , always take a humble seat , practice in the back of the hall , and don't assert yourself .  When sharing food or other things , always offer the best to others and take  the least appealing  for yourself .  And always do hard and lowly work yourself  .
