| English | Recitations and austerities, Long though they may prove to be, If practiced with distracted mind, Are futile, so the Knower of Reality has said.Blankleder, Helena, and Wulstan Fletcher (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Nectar of Manjushri's Speech: A Detailed Commentary on Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisattva. By Kunzang Pelden. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2010. It is true that one may for a long time undergo every kind of physical austerity as a means to bring about the birth of concentration in the mind stream (such as recitation, or going without food or clothing). But if the mind is distracted by objects of desire, fluttering like a scrap of paper caught in a tree, no matter what recitations or austerities are performed, their hoped-for aim will not be achieved. This was said by the Buddha himself, who has a direct unmediated vision of the nature of all things. In the sutra Distillation of Concentration, the Buddha said, "O monks, if your mind is distracted by desire, none of your austerities and prayers will give any result.” And as we find in the Prajnaparamita-sutra: "Through my mind’s distraction, I fail to accomplish my own good, let alone the good of others. Therefore, I will not allow my mind to be distracted even slightly.” |
