Dear Teacher,
I have been searching for a spiritual teacher for many years. When I met someone, I thought I had found the one I have been looking for in this life. Now I felt that this teacher, who I deeply loved and trusted, intentionally or unintentionally lied to me for many years. I am deeply disappointed at everything. I can’t accept and forgive all of this. It has been bothering me for quite a while. It’s difficult for me to believe anything now. What is wrong with me? Thank you!
亲爱老師,
多少年來我一直尋找心靈老師,當我遇到一位老師的時候,我认为我找到我这一生心靈老師。而今感到我曾经深爱和堅信的老師有意無意地騙了我很久,让我對人生失望莫及。我無法接受和原諒这一切。它困惑著我很久。现在我很難再相信一切。那我是什么问题?谢谢您!
Response:
It is not something that is wrong with you. It is very disappointing that some people who are actually still students, present themselves as teachers. But do not worry. Learning comes in many forms. You learned something very valuable. So never stop. Move forward, forward, always forward. Water may, for a while, get sidetracked as it flows from the mountain top on its journey back to the ocean, but return it will. You will return home and now, with greater discernment, the path will be more clear, more direct, more rapid.
回覆:
並不是你有什麼問題。有些人實際上還是學生,卻以老師自居,這令人感到失望。但也不必擔心。學習有許多不同的方式。你學到的是非常有價值的東西,所以,千萬不要停下腳步,持續勇往直前!當水從山頂流向大海時,有可能暫時流岔到其他地方,但終究還是會回歸大海。你終將會回歸心靈的故鄉,並且帶著更佳的明辨省思能力,現在這條回家的路也將會更清楚,更直接,更快速。
