各位觀眾
Hello TV viewers.
大家平安吉祥
Peace and joy to you all.
今天要和各位講慚愧心
Today I'm going to talk about
a mind of shame.

這個慚愧的心
Having a mind of shame
這非常重要
is very important.
在我們說就是人要有羞恥心
A man needs to have a mind of shame,
要有羞恥的觀念
or know the concept of shame.

我不能做壞事
I cannot commit evil
那是很可恥的
as it's a shame for me.

我不能做壞事
I cannot commit evil
做壞事我很慚愧
as committing evil
makes me feel ashamed.

慚者 自己不如人
Shame is feeling inferior;
愧者 對不起別人的
remorse is feeling sorry for others.
所以自己覺得慚愧
So if one feels ashamed
自己覺得對不起別人
or feels sorry for others,
因此發奮圖強
he will therefore give it his best shot.

在《佛遺教經》裡面說
The Sutra on the Buddha's
Bequeathed Teaching says:
慚恥之服 無上莊嚴
The clothing of shame
is unprecedentedly solemn.
慚愧的衣服
It's the clothing of shame.
慚愧如衣服
Shame is like clothing.
美麗的衣服穿在身上
Putting on beautiful clothes,
這是很莊嚴的、很漂亮的
you look very solemn and pretty.
我們有時候
Sometimes, when we
看到那個人肯得認錯
see a man own up,
那個人很好
we'd praise him for
他知道慚愧
his willingness to feel ashamed
他肯得懺悔
and repent.
他知道認錯
If one knows to admit fault,
很了不起
he's indeed marvelous.
我們就讚歎那個
We glorify anyone
知道慚愧的人
who knows what shame is.

我們再講一句
A further note,
佛陀有罵人嗎
did the Buddha ever scold?
佛陀也會罵人
The Buddha also scolded,
不過他不是像平常那種亂罵
but never ranted.
他會說
He would rather say:
你不知慚愧
You don't feel ashamed
你愚癡
as you are ignorant.
這個是開示、教育
This was his guideline and teaching.
不過我們現在想到
I now think that
能給人家說我們不知慚愧
if somebody says
I don't feel ashamed,
不知道羞恥
and don't feel great shame at all,
這個才是真正的羞恥
it's real shame on us, something that
才慚愧
we should feel ashamed of.
我們要時時刻刻提醒自己
We need to remind ourselves
我要知道慚愧
to feel ashamed.
因為我受父母的養育
Because I was brought up
and nurtured by my parents,
我受老師的教育
I was educated by my teacher,
我受好多的社會給我的幫助
I was often offered assistance from society,
我慚愧
I should feel ashamed of myself.
別人給我多少的恩惠
I've received a lot of favors from others
我都沒有報答
but I haven't yet requited them.
你慚愧就肯得報恩
If you feel ashamed
you'll feel the need to repay them.
慚愧就肯得自己認錯
If you feel ashamed, you'll own up.
慚愧就道德就會有進步
If you feel ashamed
you'll ascend morally.
所以學佛的人
Dear Buddhist learners,
你念佛、誦經
it won't do just by chanting names,
reciting sutras,
做很多的善事
or doing many wholesome deeds.

但是你都是好名、好利
If you still pursue name and fame,
驕傲、傲慢
and are full of pride and arrogance,
不知道有慚愧心
then you know not
what a mind of shame is.

人家講我一句好話
If others say something nice about me,
不容易 我慚愧
try to feel ashamed and say:
當不起
I'm flattered.
人家讚美我
If others praise me, try to say:
唉呀 不敢當
Hey!
當不起
I'm flattered.
人家對我很好
If others treat me well, try to say:
當不起
I'm flattered.
你如果有這種慚愧的心
If you have a mind of shame,
人格會增上 道德會增長
you'll raise your level of
character and morals,
你的人就和普通的人不一樣了
and you'll become somebody
rather than anybody.
所以佛教徒學佛
So a Buddhist who studies Buddhism
有了佛法
and gets to know the Buddha Dharma

就比人好、比人高
is superior to many others.
我們不是常說
I always say:
有佛法就有辦法嗎
If there is the Buddha Dharma
there is the Way.
有了慚愧心
Having a mind of shame,

我知道慚愧
or having known to feel ashamed,
就會比人強 就會比人好
I'll be above par,
and fare better than others.
所以我希望
So I hope
我們學佛的佛教徒們
Buddhists who study Buddhism
大家都要能知道慚愧
know what it is to feel ashamed
有慚愧心
and have a mind of shame too.
祝福大家
Bless you all!
