07) Chan Qi Vimalakirti Sutra (05) - 20240622

지혜란 무엇입니까? 지혜는 자신의 결점을 보는 능력입니다. 지혜가 없는데 우리가 여러분의 결점에 대해 말하면 여러분은 화를 냅니다. 하지만 여러분이 지혜가 있다면, 여러분의 결점에 대해 말할 때 자신의 결점을 바로, 혹은 매우 빨리 인지합니다. 자신의 결점을 볼 수 있다면, 자신의 결점을 볼 수 없는 사람들보다 훨씬 더 많은 문제를 해결할 수 있는 지혜가 있습니다. 여러분의 지혜가 더 많을수록, 지혜의 수준이 높을수록, 여러분은 더 많은 결점을 인식할 수 있을 것입니다.

 

지혜에 대한 저의 정의는 올바른 선택을 하는 능력입니다. 그것은 단순히 여러분의 잘못을 인식하는 것이 아닙니다. 그것은 옳은 선택을 하는 것입니다. 옳은 선택을 할 때, 여러분은 더 행복해집니다.

 

우리의 결정이 옳은 결정이라는 것을 어떻게 알 수 있을까요? 그것은 더 많은 사람들에게 이익이 되기 때문에 옳은 결정입니다. 작은 지혜는 오직 자신만 이롭습니다. 여러분은 먼저 자신을 이롭게 하는 법을 배울 필요가 있습니다. 스스로를 이롭게 하지 않는데 어떻게 다른 사람들을 이롭게 할 수 있을까요? 더 높은 수준의 지혜는 다른 사람들을 이롭게 하거나 다른 사람들을 깨닫게 하는 것입니다. 다른 사람들을 깨닫게 하는 것은 그들이 스스로를 이롭게 하도록 가르치는 것을 의미합니다.

 

지혜가 없는데 어떻게 다른 사람을 돕습니까? 다른 사람을 도울 지혜가 없을 때 여러분이 다른 사람을 도울 수 있는 가장 좋은 방법은 그들에게 복을 주는 것입니다. 결국, 복은 성숙해지고 그들은 보살핌을 받을 것입니다.

 

What is wisdom? Wisdom is the ability to see your faults. When you have no wisdom and we tell you about your faults, you get upset. But if you have wisdom, when we tell you about your faults, you recognize your faults right away, or very quickly. If you're able to see your faults, then you have the wisdom to be able to solve lots more problems than those who cannot see their faults. The more wisdom you have, the higher the level of wisdom, the more faults you'll be able to recognize.

 

My definition of wisdom is the ability to make the right choices. It is not simply recognizing your faults. It's about choosing right. When you choose right, you're happier.  

 

How do we know that our decision is the right one? It's the right decision because it benefits people, more people. The smaller wisdom people choose to benefit themselves only. You first need to learn to benefit yourself. How can you possibly benefit others if you cannot even benefit yourself? The next high-level wisdom is benefiting others or enlightening others. Enlightening others means teaching them to benefit themselves.

How can we help when we have no wisdom?

Since you don't have the wisdom to help others, the best way for you to help others is to give them blessings. Eventually, the blessing will mature and they will be taken care of.
