慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦

If a person really accepts the dharma of Pure Land Buddhism, he will certainly believe that he is an iniquitous ordinary being. Once realizing oneself as an iniquitous ordinary being, a person will become humble and amiable and not allow self-pride or arrogance to prevail. The temperament will subsequently change. According to the teachings of the Pure Land School, the ultimate truths can appreciate and experience from the worldly truths, while the experience of the worldly truths will gain access to the ultimate truths. The two complement each other.

如果真的相應於淨土法門，一定會相信自己是一個罪惡生死凡夫，一個真正體會到罪惡生死凡夫的人，一定會謙卑柔軟，貢高我慢不起來，也傲慢計較不起來，這樣性情就會轉變。所以我們這個法門，即使是真諦也能體會俗諦，體會俗諦就能進入真諦，是相輔相成的。

Namo Amitabha!
