慧淨上人法語
佛法知見

Owing to the fact that sentient beings who have not cut off or subdue his greed, anger and delusion, they are forever attached. If our mind is attached, it is completely impossible for us to match with the Buddha Nature, which has no attachment. So, if we want to achieve Buddhahood with our own power, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. However, if we make recourse to external power, i.e. to the Buddha power, it will be extremely easy to achieve Buddhahood.

眾生在貪瞋癡還沒有斷除、降伏之下，永遠都是有執著的。心若有執著，要和沒有執著的佛性相應，那是完全不可能的。所以，要以自己的力量達到成佛，真的是比登天還難。但如果有外力──也就是藉助佛的力量，那我們成佛就非常容易。
