| English | To give up all concern for the ordinary things of this life is a very deep teaching. If you tell someone whose mind is unprepared for it that everything is empty by nature, he won't be able to accept it. He will think, "The old man is crazy!" Ordinary people find the teachings on emptiness unfathomable. In the same way, if you tell people these days, whether religious or lay, to give up worldly affairs, they will think, "The old man is delirious!" The real meaning of what you are saying will not penetrate their minds. Yet it is true that if you keep strong ties to pleasure, acquiring things, fame, and praise, then however much you may study, meditate, try to integrate high teachings, or even become a teacher yourself, it will be of no help to you at all. |
