💬 核心问答节选
1. 真正上师的标志是什么？
持续安住于真我，以平等心看待一切，无论何时何地都毫无动摇的勇气。
持续安住于真我，以平等心看待一切，无论何时何地都毫无动摇的勇气。
4. 如果上师就是自己的真我，为何若无上师的恩典，都无法证悟？
虽然在绝对真理中，上师的状态就是真我，但对因无明而成为个体灵魂的真我来说，若无上师的恩典，很难认识自己的真实本性。所有世俗的观念都会在真正的上师面前瓦解。

论"上师言颂"的含义
"The word 'upadesa' means 'near the place or seat' (upa = near, desa = place or seat). The Guru who is the embodiment of sat, chit, and ananda (existence, consciousness and bliss), establishes the disciple in his own real nature without differentiation."
"upadesa"一词意为"近处之位"（upa=近，desa=处）。上师是存在、意识、喜悦的化身，他将弟子无差别地安住于自己的真实本性之中。

"Upadesa also means showing a distant object quite near. It is brought home to the disciple that Brahman which he believes to be distant and different from himself is near and not different from himself."
上师言颂也意味着将遥远之物展示得近在眼前。让弟子明白：他以为遥远且不同于自己的梵，其实近在眼前，与自己无别。
