About thirty or fourty years ago,people used to say that if a classroom was made like a theatre,students would definitely enjoy coming to classes.
Today I would say that if the teacher's words or sayings or jokes or stories can make students happy or feel joyful from the dharma which they have learned I believe then the students would also enjoy coming to lessons.
But it's a pity that in the past,the teachers of dharma would try to make their words or lessons sound hard to understand,as a way to prove that they are good teachers.
For example,someone would ask another person,"where did you go yesterday?""Oh,I went to a dharma talk.""Was it good?""Yes,it was very good!""So in what way was it good?""It was good because I could not understand a thing he was saying."
Through out my 60 years of experiences in teaching or speaking the dharma,my conclusion is that the most important thing is make sure that the audience understands what I am saying instead of making them confused with the profound theories.
I would like to continue to discuss the function or the assistance or the benefit which Prajna can give to us.
In my opinion,everything in this world is prajna.But at the same time,nothing in this world is prajna.
At times when you get things done the right way,they would say that,"Oh,you have Prajna."
However,even if you are doing charity work or chanting the sutra or chanting the Buddha's name on the surface,but in your mind at the same time you're allowing ignorance,hatred,or greed to arise,then I would not call these actions Prajna.
