Q57: Venerable Sir, by allowing a yogi to listen to the talk on the progress of insights, are you confirming that he or she is a Sotapanna ( who has reached the first stage of enlightenment)?

問57：允許禪修者去聽觀智次第的開示，是您印證他/她是初果了嗎？

No, not at all. We never make judgments of one』s spiritual status. When we are sure, however, that a yogi is good enough at practice, we allow him or her to listen to the talk given by one of our meditation teachers, expounding on how the insight knowledge advances up to the enlightenment of magga and phala. The purpose is to help a yogi to be able to decide his or her spiritual level by checking his or her own experience with the talk given. Moreover, this will offer him or her a chance to enjoy his or her achievement and give encouragement to work harder for further development. It is not for us to decide what level of enlightenment he or she has attained. So, it is simply a misunderstanding that we confirm that a yogi is Sotapanna by allowing him or her to listen to that talk.

不，根本不是。我們從不判斷一個人的心的狀態。然而，當我們確信禪修者修得足夠好，我們會讓他/她去聽我們禪師講解觀智如何進階到證悟道果的開示，其目的是使禪修者能夠通過對比自己的經驗和開示判斷自己的水平。再者，這會給他/她機會對其成就生起喜悅並激發他/她更加努力以獲得更多進展。不是我們去決定禪修者證了幾果。所以，以為讓禪修者去聽那樣的開示就是我們印證他/她證了初果，這純粹是誤解。
