위대한 마음, 자비심 09) Vimalakirti Sutra - 20240727

 

당신이 아라한이지만 여전히 이기적으로 행동한다면, 지혜로 행동하는 것이 아닙니다. 하지만 자아를 억압하기로 선택한다면, 당신은 사회에 큰 자산입니다. 그것이 변화를 만드는 방법입니다. 아라한이 되는 것이 아니라 아라한과 같이 행동하는 것입니다.

 

여러분은 스스로 깨달음을 얻고 지혜를 얻은 후에 다른 사람들을 이롭게 합니다. 다른 사람들이 이롭게 하는 가장 좋은 방법은 무엇일까요? 깨달음을 얻도록 도와주는 것입니다. 보살들은 사람들을 치유하거나 돈을 벌거나 유명해지는 능력으로 성공을 가늠하지 않습니다. 보살의 성공의 기준은 다른 사람들이 깨달음을 얻도록 돕는가입니다.

 

위대한 마음은 중생을 위해 가장 높은 길을 추구합니다. 위대한 마음은 그들 자신이 아닌 중생을 이롭게 하기 위해 가장 위대한 성취를 추구합니다. 위대함은 여러분의 통장에 얼마나 많은 돈을 가지고 있는지, 얼마나 많은 팔로워가 있는지에 의해 측정되지 않습니다. 위대함은 여러분이 얼마나 많은 중생을 이롭게 하는지에 관한 것입니다.

 

다른 사람에 대한 자비심이 없다는 것은 무엇을 의미합니까? 고통받는 사람을 보았을 때 전형적인 보통 사람들의 반응은 내가 아니라 다행이다라고 합니다. 나는 정말 운이 좋다라고 합다. 보살들은 고통받는 사람을 보면 무엇을 하나요? 내가 직접 경험해 보자. 보살들의 자비심은 이론에서 나온 것이 아닙니다. 그것을 경험하고 실제로 어떤 것인지 이해함으로부터 나온 것입니다. 자비심은 도망치는 것이 아니라 고통을 견디면서 발전합니다. 자비심을 갖는 것이 어떤 것인지 알아야 하기 때문에 스스로 견뎌야 합니다.

 

어떻게 하면 업보를 지우나요? 근본적으로 우리는 보살의 힘에 의지합니다. 우리는 부처님의 도움을 받기 때문에 약간의 감응이 있습니다. 우리가 참회할 때, 우리는 불필요한 체중을 줄여나갑니다.

 

If you're Fourth stage Arhat and you still act selfishly, you are not acting out of wisdom. But you choose to suppress your ego in your actions, then you are a great asset to society. That's how you make a difference. Not by becoming Fourth stage Arhat but by acting as a Fourth stage Arhat.

 

You enlighten yourself, and after you have your wisdom, your actions are to benefit others. What's the best way to benefit others? By helping them get enlightened. A Bodhisattva does not gauge himself by his ability to heal or make money or become famous. He gauges himself, his criteria for success is how he can help others become enlightened.

 

The great mind seeks the highest path for the sake of living beings. Great minds seek the greatest attainment not for themselves but for living beings in order to benefit living beings. Greatness is not measured by how much money you have in your account or how many followers you have on your online website. It's about how many living beings you can benefit.

 

What does it mean not to have compassion for others? Meaning when they see someone suffering, the typical ordinary person's reaction is, I'm glad it's not me. That's a lot of suffering. I am so lucky. When Bodhisattvas see people suffering, what do they do? Let me experience it myself. The Bodhisattvas’s compassion is not from theory. It's from having experienced it, from understanding or knowing what it really is like. Compassion is developed by enduring suffering, not by running away. You have to endure it yourself because you need to know what it's like to have compassion.

 

we erase our karmic retributions, our karmic offenses by how? Fundamentally in this process here, we depend on the power of the Bodhisattva. we have some responses because we get help from the Buddha, Senebodhisattvas.
