无论贤愚僧俗，都做着善与非善的一切事情。实际上，那些有智慧和期望成为智者的人，都不希望佛法兴盛。他们宁愿有更多的人去服兵役，而不是有更多的僧人。他们不希望三宝的地位高升，不希望僧侣拥有权力。他们希望恶人更加强大。必须追究，什么叫做三宝的地位高升？大多数被称为格西的人也是如此。他们以对上师和佛的执着为借口，侍奉地方官员。他们以对闻思修的执着为借口，行恶念、粗暴行为和恶语。他们以对僧团的执着为借口，侍奉亲戚或关系密切的恶人，无论男女。过去，无忧王将王位献给僧团，赤热巴巾王将第一道门献给僧团，第二道门献给国王，第三道门献给大臣，这也不是老糊涂了。从三宝的财富中截取，为了普通人的衣食和子女而改变，连利益众生的名声都没有。贤愚之人都不明白。西藏的智者们，如果追究利益众生的意义，就认为是积累村民的粮食，这难道不是太可笑了？阿底峡尊者使用十三万劳力建造寺庙时，所有的工人都诽谤他，诅咒他去死。但他的行为绝不是罪恶，也不是不合适的，而是非常伟大的事业。大成就者绛曲坚赞害怕人民叛乱，没有砍伐世俗的树木，而是将所有旧寺庙拆除，用来覆盖宗（城堡），没有人说不合适。世俗人民却感到失望，认为他的行为根本不是佛法，而是将整个国家送入地狱。现在举例来说，为了善业，即使从每个村民那里只收集一斗粮食，他们也会抱怨不够，发出痛苦的声音。因此，如果收集比这更多的财富，用于善业，不但没有罪过，而且功德会更加增长。将金写经书融化成金子，将金像完成之后做成铜像，将银像融化后买茶，将金

Whether wise or foolish, monastic or lay, everyone is doing all sorts of things, both virtuous and non-virtuous. In reality, those who are intelligent and aspire to be wise do not wish for the flourishing of the Dharma. They prefer to have more people serving in the military than becoming monks. They do not want the Three Jewels to be elevated, nor do they want monks to have power. They want wicked people to be more powerful. It must be investigated, what does it mean for the Three Jewels to be elevated? Most of those who are called Geshes are like this. They use their attachment to the Guru and the Buddha as an excuse to serve local officials. They use their attachment to listening, contemplation, and meditation as an excuse to engage in evil thoughts, harsh actions, and foul language. They use their attachment to the Sangha as an excuse to serve relatives or closely connected wicked people, both male and female. In the past, King Ashoka offered his kingdom to the Sangha, and King Tri Relpachen offered the first gate to the Sangha, the second to the king, and the third to the ministers. This was not the act of a senile old man. Cutting off the wealth of the Three Jewels and transforming it for the food, clothing, and children of ordinary people does not even have the name of benefiting sentient beings. All, wise and foolish, do not understand this. The wise people of Tibet, if you pursue the meaning of benefiting sentient beings, they consider it to be accumulating the villagers' grain. Isn't this ridiculous? When Lama Phagpa used thirteen hundred thousand laborers to build a monastery, all the workers slandered him and cursed him to die. But his actions were not sinful, nor were they inappropriate, but a very great undertaking. The great accomplished Changchub Gyaltsen, fearing rebellion from the people, did not cut down secular trees, but dismantled all the old monasteries and used them to cover the Dzong (fortress), and no one said it was inappropriate. The secular people were disappointed, thinking that his actions were not Dharma at all, but were sending the entire country to hell. Now, for example, even if you collect only one bre of grain from each villager for virtuous deeds, they will complain that it is not enough and cry out in pain. Therefore, if you collect even more wealth than this and use it for virtuous deeds, not only is there no sin, but the merit will increase even more.
