當陷於自己的理想與和他人的期望而左右為難時，
尊貴的第十一任敏林澈清法王 (睡覺法王 )曾說：
「聆聽每個人的建議，及尊重每個人都有其信念的道理，然而最終去做你認為是正確的。否則，如果總是根據他人對你的期待而做決定，你將永遠不會快樂 !」

when you torn between your own vision for yourself and the expectations others had of yours ~
‘Listen to everybody’s advice,’ he said, ‘respect that everybody has their own reasons for their beliefs, and ultimately do what you think is right. Otherwise, if you always make decisions according to what other people want you to do, you will never be happy.’ ─ 11th Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche
(( 得能聽聞奧義佛法，乃因過去無數劫所累積的功德。
好比人於一生千百頓餐食中，只得嘗一頓飯 ))
經義闡明：
傲慢無正信，於法不希求，外散及内收，疲厭皆聞垢；
此乃聞法六垢(六染污 )。
遠離斯行以避六垢：諸如驕傲地自認為優越於解釋佛法的老師、不信任上師及其教誨、不遵行佛法、攀緣、內在過度專注於五根，以及氣餒(例如當教學長時而無法專注) 。
再者去除如驕傲和嫉妒等之最難以辨識的所有負面情緒。
因此，時刻檢視自心。
莫忽視任何細微的自我感受，無論其有關世間或出世間，
均將矇蔽看清己之過患，以及他人的良好特質。
所以吾人應當拋棄自負，並謙沖為懷。.
倘若不具信心，那麼通往佛法之門將會封鎖於「四不壞信( 淨 ) 」 。於此之當中，又應以永不退轉的信心為目標。
( 註:所謂「四不壞淨(信)」，即「四種不動搖的純淨信念」。就是建立起了對佛、法、僧、戒的堅強信心，不是一般所謂信仰層面的「信仰」，而是來自於真正的聞、思，爾後又求真求證、實修實證而成致的「信根」 。)
你對於佛法的關注是未來成就的基礎。
故而依由對教法的深入(程度)與關注，相對成為上品，中品或下品的行者。倘若你對佛法全然沒有興趣，則將無有任何結果。正如諺語所說：佛法不屬於任何人。它只屬於最感興趣者。
是以，聆聽教誨，以極大的努力，忽略熱、冷與其他所有艱苦的考驗。
沉醉於六塵 (註 : 色、聲、香、味、觸、法 )的意識傾向，是所有輪迴的幻覺及一切苦難的根源。每當你聽聞佛法、教法、禪坐或修鍊，非常重要的是不依於過去，不幻想未來，並且勿令當下的思維因外境而分馳。.
莫讓自心太過緊張或內在過於專注，讓感官放輕鬆且自在，在緊張與鬆懈之間找到平衡。
不應對聆聽佛法教授產生厭倦。當佛法傳授的過程持續太久，或會感到飢餓或口渴；或當風吹、日曬、雨淋讓你忍受不適等，遇及一如前述的狀況時都不能分心和氣餒。只需滿心歡喜於此刻能享有自在與暇滿人身、得遇具格的上師以聆聽其深奧教導。
事實上，此刻得能聽聞奧義佛法，乃因過去無數劫所累積的功德。它好比人於一生千百頓餐食中，只得嘗一頓飯。因此必須心懷喜悅的聞法，並誓願承受酷熱寒冷及任何艱苦，以求獲得這些教導。

敏林堪千仁波切的開示 : 三種缺陷之鍋器
行者應具正確的聞法方式 :
故需記住聞法時所應避免的行為，其含括三種有缺陷的鍋器、六垢及和五過失。
三種有缺陷的鍋器─:
一為不聽教誨，正如同一個上下顛倒之鍋；二為缺損漏孔之鍋，無法涵納所聽所聞；三為含毒之鍋，所聽所聞參雜混合著負面情緒。
【上下顛倒之鍋】
聽聞教法應當專心，莫讓心有旁鶩。否則即如上下顛倒之鍋，水將往外流盡。
雖然身在該處，但實際上並沒聽入任何法教。
【缺損漏孔之鍋】
倘若僅是聽著，卻沒有記下或了解所聞法教，將像漏孔的鍋器，再多的液體注入其內也無法保留。不論聽聞多少教法，永遠無從吸收或付諸實踐。
【含毒之鍋】
倘若學習的態度錯謬，諸如渴望成為大人物或成名，再或心中充滿五毒，那麼佛法不僅無法幫助自心，也將如同甘露傾入毒鍋之中，變成完全不是佛法。
只是身在此處卻沒有專注聞法而心思混亂、胡言亂語與道聽塗說、並東張西望是無益的。聆聽教法之際，甚至應即刻停止持咒與祈禱、以及從事任何可能會令人稱許的行為。
當你依此確實地聞法之後，牢記所聞並不斷付諸實踐是十分重要的。
上師教導弟子如何聞法、如何應用佛法、如何放棄消極負面作為、如何從事與實踐正向積極的作為，全有賴於弟子自身能記取不忘的付諸實踐。
單只聽聞佛法或許能有些許利益，但除非你牢記所聞，否則將無法自教法中的文字或教義得獲任何智識，而如同未曾聞法一般。
若你牢記所聞但混雜負面情續，如此將永遠不會是真正的佛法。
一如無上尊貴的達波仁波切所言：
「除非你根據佛法以實踐佛法，否則佛法本身將成為罪惡輪迴之源。」
擺脫自身對上師與佛法錯謬的想法，並且不批評毀謗金剛師兄弟與同伴、不驕矜及蔑視、捨棄所有邪見，因為這些無不導致淪入惡道輪迴。

................
The right conduct while listening to teachings is described in terms of what to avoid and what to do.
What to Avoid-
Conduct to avoid includes the three defects of the pot, the six stains and the five wrong ways of remembering.
The Three Defects of the Pot
Not to listen is to be like a pot turned upside down. Not to be able to retain what you hear is to be like a pot with a hole in it. To mix negative emotions with what you hear is to be like a pot with poison in it.
The Upside-Down Pot
When you are listening to theteachings, listen to what is being said and do not let yourself be distracted by anything else. Otherwise you will be like an upside-down pot on which liquid is being poured. Although you are physically present, you do not hear a word of the teaching.
The Pot with the Hole
If you just listen without remembering anything that you hear or understand, you will be like a pot with a leak: however much liquid is poured into it, nothing can stay. No matter how many teachings you hear, you can never assimilate them or put them into practice.
The Pot containing Poison
If you listen to the teachings with the wrong attitude, such as desire to become great or famous, or a mind full of the five poisons, the Dharma will not only fail to help your mind; it will also be changed into something that is not Dharma at all, like nectar poured into a pot containing poison.
It is no good listening with only your body physically present, while your mind wanders off after your thoughts and your speech lets loose a rich store of gossip, saying whatever you like and looking around everywhere. When listening to teachings, you should even stop reciting mantras and prayers, or whatever other meritorious activities you may be doing.
After you have listened properly to a teaching in this way, it is then also important to retain the meaning of what has been said without ever forgetting it, and to continually put it into practice.
The teacher gives the disciple instructions explaining how to listen to the Dhrama and how to apply it, how to give up negative actions, how to perform positive ones, and how to practise. It is upto the disciple to remember those instructions, forgetting nothing; to put them into practice; and to realize them.
Just listening to the Dharma is perhaps of some benefit by itself. But unless you remember what you hear, you will not have the slightest knowledge of either the words or the meaning of the teaching- which is no different from not having heard it at all.
If you remember the teachings but mix them with your negative emotions, they will never be the pure Dharma. As the peerless Dagpo Rinpoche says: Unless you practise Dharma according to the Dharma,Dharma itself becomes the cause of evil rebirths.
Rid yourself of every wrong thought concerning the teacher and the Dharma, do not criticize or abuse your spiritual brothers and companions, be free of pride, and contempt, abandon all bad thoughts. For all these cause lower rebirths.
