老師一生的願望是什麼 - 第218集
What is a teacher’s lifelong wish?
真正聽話，老師真幫助你，真成就你。老師沒有別的希望，希望你成就。這就是古人講的「不孝有三，無後為大」，老師沒有傳人，他就沒有後，他對他的老師來說，他就不孝，至少要有一個傳承的人，希望這個學術、道統永遠傳下去，世世代代都有傳人，不定在什麼緣分成就的時候能發揚光大。
If you are truly obedient, the teacher would really help you succeed because that is his only wish. This is what the ancients said, “There are three unfilial acts; having no descendant is the greatest.” If the teacher has no successor, he is considered to have no descendant, and to his teacher, he is being unfilial. He must at least have one successor so that his wisdom and doctrines can be passed down forever. Ideally, there should be a successor from generation to generation so that the ancient teachings can flourish under certain circumstances.
沒有傳人就滅了，就斷掉了，所以老師一生的願望就是希望找一個學生能承傳的，決定沒有嫉妒障礙。學生學得超過老師，老師有沒有嫉妒障礙的？有，自古就有，不是沒有，可是學生心裡有數，真正學成的，當然跟老師的境界，甚至於超過老師，他懂得迴避，他懂得尊重老師。老師對他不滿的地方，甚至於障礙的地方，他懂得迴避，這是智慧，不傷師徒的感情，不會被外人笑話，這真正叫孝道。
If he has no successor, then his teachings would come to an end. That’s why a teacher’s lifelong wish is to find a student who can inherit his wisdom. He definitely has no jealousy, and neither would he create obstacles to his student. Were there cases whereby the teacher felt jealous and posed obstacle to his student when his student surpassed him in knowledge and wisdom? Yes, there were such cases since ancient times, but the students knew it, and out of respect, they knew how to avoid being harmed by their teachers. In this way, the teacher-student affection was unhurt and outsiders would not laugh at them. This is wisdom and truly called ‘filial piety.’
