Verses On Reliance On The Dharma 依法偈

佛虽教吾人,依法不依人,
诸多凡夫人,依人不依法。


The Buddha, although having taught us, to rely on the Dharma and not rely on the person, a great many ordinary persons however, rely on the person and not rely on the Dharma.

因闻痴人说,一二小善法,
愚人直依人,后学大恶法。


Because of hearing an ignorant person speaking, one or two minor good Dharma teachings, foolish persons directly relying on this person, later learn great evil ‘Dharma’ teachings.
