慧淨上人法語
機法深信
All of us have the “seeds” of committing the Five Gravest Transgressions and slandering the Dharma. In the newspapers, we read news about robbery, killing, stealing, adultery, and falsity that happen here and there. At this time, we should reflect that those were the things I did in my past lives, and all of his words and behaviours are just like screening of my past lives once again. If I do not attain rebirth in the Land of Bliss, his present will be my future. Because I still have these kinds of “seed” in my Alaya Consciousness, they will germinate and grow when conditions ripen.  The only difference is that he encountered such a karmic circumstance, and I haven’t encountered again yet.
我們凡夫內心都有五逆謗法的種子。我們看報紙新聞,社會上哪裏又發生搶劫、哪裏殺盜淫妄,這時都要想到:這些也都是我過去世曾做過的,他的一切言行正如我過去世銀幕的重播。我如果不往生極樂世界,他的現在就是我的未來。因為我的阿賴耶識當中,還有這樣的種子在,遇緣則現,只是這個緣他遇到了,我還沒有再遇到而已。
Namo Amitabha!
