2018/9/22 廣論每日一句

善知識敦巴云：「言大乘尊重者，謂是須一，若講說時，能令發生無量知解，若行持時，於後聖教，能成何益，當時能有何種義利。」
Geshe Dromdön-ba said that when the "gurus of the Mahāyāna" give an explanation, they must cause their students to have a deep understanding. When they are putting the teachings into practice, they must demonstrate what is helpful at a time when the teaching is on the wane, and what is useful in the situation at hand.

• Geshe 格西
• 大乘尊重gurus of the Mahāyāna所謂的guru就是「善知識，上師，師長」，Mahāyāna就是大乘佛法
• 若講說時give an explanation
• 能令發生無量知解cause their students to have a deep understanding無量指的是非常大的數字，英文版本寫deep表示深入
• 若行持時When they are putting the teachings into practice
• 於後聖教，能成何益what is helpful at a time when the teaching is on the wane，on the wane字面上是「減少變弱」，在這裡指的是「事後、後來」。（四家合註的解釋，翻譯成「在佛聖教的最後階段」）
• 當時能有何種義利what is useful in the situation at hand當前能產生應機利益並調伏所化機內心的何種效果，而又曉得開示這樣的道理
• 整段的意思是，善知識的教誡能讓學者產生無量知解，而這知解的內容包括：如果照著善知識的教誡去行持，在當下有怎樣的利益，以及對未來建立教法有什麼好處
