敦珠法王：寧靜調柔為聞法之標誌，煩惱微少為禪修之標誌
To put it simply, from the moment you
enter the sacred Dharma and become a Dharma practitioner, your inner attitude
and outer conduct should far surpass those of an ordinary mundane person. As
the saying goes:
"The
sign of true learning is a peaceful temperament,
And
the sign of having meditated is fewer afflictions."
If, on the contrary, your attitude and
conduct are not even slightly better than an average person caught up in
worldly affairs, you might consider yourself a scholar simply because you have
some intellectual understanding of a few texts. Or you might think you are a
perfect monk simply because you maintain celibacy. Or just because you know how
to chant a few ritual texts, you might start thinking of yourself as a ngakpa. These
are all just instances of blatant arrogance, and only go to show that even with
the Dharma one can stumble in the direction of the unwholesome.
簡言之，從你入於聖法並成為佛法修行者的那一刻開始，內在態度和外在行止都應該要遠勝於凡夫。如同諺語所云：
寧靜調柔為聞法之標誌，
煩惱微少為禪修之標誌。
若你反而在態度和行止上與俗務纏身的常人無甚差異，只是因為對少數文典稍有智識上的瞭解就以學者自居；只是因為保持獨身便自以為是完美的僧人；又或，只是因為知道如何念誦少許儀軌就開始認為自己是瑜伽士。這些都只不過是傲慢猖狂的例子，再再顯示即使接觸了佛法，人也可能誤入不善的歧路。
