慧淨上人法語
出離與輪迴
慧淨上人法語
出離與輪迴
Buddha-nature exists originally, and does not need to be sought for. It exists universally: you and I have it; celestial beings, human beings, hell beings, ghosts, and animals also have it. It is eternal because it will not change, or disappear. Owing to obstructions caused by our greed, hatred, and delusion, the Buddha-nature is unable to be revealed. Furthermore, it is dragged by the karmic forces into the endless cycle of reincarnation within the Six Realms, like a turning wheel with no beginning and no end-point: sometimes in heaven, sometimes in the womb of a donkey or the belly of a horse, and sometimes in hell or in the ghostly realm.
For sentient beings trapped in this wheel of reincarnations, they will keep wandering in the cycle, and keep suffering endlessly, unless they have revitalized their Buddha-nature.
佛性是本來就有的，不需要企求；而且是普遍都有的，你我他都有，天、人、地獄、餓鬼、畜生都有；而且是永恒的，因為它不會改變，也不會消失，只是因為我們都有貪瞋痴的障礙而無法顯現，進而因為業力的牽引，使得佛性不但無法顯現，反而一直無窮無盡地輪迴六道，或者人天、或者驢胎馬腹，或者地獄餓鬼，像運行的車輪一樣，沒有起頭，也沒有終點，一直在輪轉。
這個輪轉的眾生，如果沒有恢復佛性的話，那就會一直輪轉下去、一直痛苦下去。
Namo Amitabha!
