1-1-6. THE TREASURE OF A PERSON WITH MERIT具德者的寶藏

A person with virtue and merit sees all things clearly, according to reality. He or she sees a person as a person, sees an animal as an animal, sees a wife as a wife, sees a child as a child and friends as friends, so there is no conflict ; when listening to somebody speak one understands, especially the Dhamma is understood crystal clear. One can walk the Path rightly because there is the divine eye and ear to see the Path.

一個有善德及功德的人能夠清楚如實地看見一切事物，他以人的單純實相來看人，以動物的單純實相看動物，以妻子的單純實相看妻子，以孩子的單純實相看孩子，以朋友的單純實相看朋友，所以他看一切都沒有沖突；而當他聽別人說話時，他也一樣能清楚如實地了解，尤其是，他聽什麼都能透徹地領悟正法。像這樣的一個人便能行于正道，因為他有聖眼與聖耳能看清道路。

Everybody who has been born must grow old, get sick and die ; why do we kill, have envy and jealousy ? Each person doesn't want to get sick and die but wants to be wealthy and have happiness, then why do we let the bandit rob us of our treasure ? The internal treasure that is called the Noble treasure is happiness and peace of the mind. This type of treasure, the external bandit can't steal, but the bandit of greed, hatred and delusion can easily rob us. This Noble treasure we have to look after by ourselves. There is no one who can look after it for us. How do we look after it ? By watching the mind penetratingly, by having awareness overseeing the mind all the time. All of the 84.000 teachings of the Buddha converge at this one point. It is the point of our very life and mind.

生而為人終究是會老、會病、會死，那麼為什麼我們還殺戮、貪羨和忌妒呢？每個人都不想要生病或死亡，而想要富有和快樂，那麼為什麼我們卻讓盜賊奪走我們的寶藏呢？內在的寶藏是指心靈的喜悅和安祥，我們稱之為聖財，這種寶藏是外在的盜賊偷不走的，但是內在的貪瞋癡大盜卻可以輕易地搶奪我們，因此，我們必須自己守護這個聖財，沒有人可以代替我們。那麼，要怎麼去守護它呢？那就是要清楚地看見我們的心，要時時刻刻帶著覺性來觀照自心。佛陀教導的八萬四千法門歸結起來就是這一點，這是我們生活上和心靈上的重點。

Originally, there is no suffering in our life. But we get deluded and Lobha, Dosa & Moha arise and the result is that we get suffering. All of you, who are listening to me speaking at this moment, please listen with awareness, concentration and wisdom, reflect on yourself every moment, so you're not someone who forgets oneself or is heedless. The Buddha teaches that one who is heedless is like one who is dead even though one is still alive. Because those individuals only do, speak and think that which is bad, it stinks ! People without virtue, without Dhamma, are people that stink !

我們的生命本來是沒有苦的，但是我們有了迷惑，生起了貪瞋癡，結果就因而受苦。請你們在聽我說話的這個當下，要用覺-定-慧來聽，時時刻刻反照你自己，這樣你才不會變成一個忘了自己或沒有覺性的人。佛陀教導我們，一個沒有覺性的人僅管還活著卻像個死人，因為這些人他們做的、說的、想的盡是些壞事，臭死了！沒有善德、沒有正法的人是「臭死人」！

As for people with virtue and Dhamma, they are compared to beautiful, fragrant flowers. Because there are only smiles and brightness, comparable to flowers used for decorating Buddha statues.As for the 3 sticks of incense to venerate the Buddha, it stands for good actions in body, speech and mind. If the mind thinks good things, it is fragrant, like incense. Thinking good things means the mind doesn't have greed, hatred and delusion. The 2 candles point to 2 eyes and 2 ears. Whatever you look at or listen to, you see it as it is, you understand the Truth, it is the divine eye and ear.

而有善德、有正法的人我們表之為美麗芬芳的花朵，因為只有笑容和光明才堪比那些莊嚴佛身的鮮花，至于我們禮敬佛陀的三炷清香，那就是代表我們身口意展現的好行為。如果內心想好事情，那它就像香一樣是芬芳的，我所謂的想好事是指內心沒有貪瞋癡。另外我們點的兩只蠟燭，那代表我們的雙眼及雙耳。無論你看什麼或聽什麼，如果你能如實地看或聽、能明白真理，那就是聖眼與聖耳。

May you try and train to be aware in every posture, to be with Sati every moment, seeing your own mind all the time, then you will be called a person with the divine eye and ear. I wish you will get some divine eye and ear, even a little is still good, don't destroy the Truth in yourself. That's enough, I'll stop here.

願你們能努力訓練，在一切行住坐臥當中保持覺知，時時刻刻保持正念，隨時隨地看見自己的心，這樣你就能稱為一個有聖眼與聖耳的人。我希望你們能成就一點聖眼與聖耳，哪怕是一點點也是好的，切莫毀棄你內在的真理(注1)。夠了，我就說到這里。

■注1：A example of Luangpor』s wit or sense of humor: The first precept is to not kill 『sut』 = 『living being』, but here the word that is used is 『sat』, short for 『sacca』 = truth. Neither living being nor truth should be killed!

注1：這里的「真理」，隆波田采用巴利文Sacca (真理)的縮寫字 "sat"，這點展現出了隆波田的機智與幽默，因為佛法的第一條戒律是不要殺害眾生，眾生的泰語是 "sut"，而隆波田這里不用Sacca而特地改用縮寫字 "sat"，意思就是要表示眾生及真理二者都不可以殺害！
