慧淨上人法語
佛法知見

Buddhism is a religion of compassion. The connotation of compassion must be free of the arbitrary notion of self (or no-self).  So, it has to be no-self in order to truly become the great kindness and the great compassion. Otherwise, if the self exists, there must also be “you” and “they”, and hence, antagonism. Kindness and compassion is then limited. By kindness and compassion with no-self, we can deliver all sentient beings in the manner of great unconditioned kindness and universal compassion.

佛教是慈悲的宗教，慈悲當中一定具有無我的內涵，必須無我才能真正地大慈大悲。否則，有我，就有你、有他，就一定有對立，慈悲就會有限度。無我的慈悲，才能夠無緣大慈、同體大悲地普度眾生。
