慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦

Contents of the attributes is just like a mirror, without which we can’t see dirty faces and don’t know cleaning is required. Facing the mirror of the attributes, we can discover our habitual behaviours and faults, and hence feel more ashamed.  Also because of the reflective function of the dharma mirror, we can sense our blemishes, face them squarely, and set the goals for improvement. Although we may not be able to achieve a hundred percent of the goals, but at least we can accomplish certain portions. 

So, I hope everyone will think about the attributes at least one time per day, put them into daily practice, and have them blended into the marrow and transformed into our life, so that our speech and behaviour are the same as the contents of the attributes.

宗風的內容就像一面鏡子，不面對鏡子，就不知道容貌骯髒，也不知要擦拭乾淨，面對宗風這一面鏡子的時候，就會發現自己的習性，發現自己的缺陷，而更加的慚愧；也因為面對法鏡，愈感自己缺陷，才更加要面對，使自己知所改進，不能百分之百達到，至少可以做到幾分或幾十分。

所以希望大家，每天都將之思惟一遍，落實在生活中，使其融為我們的骨髓，化成我們的生命，使我們的言語行為就如同宗風這些內容。

Namo Amitabha!
