慧淨上人法語
機法深信
Actually, we are wicked in our own right, not just at the time when we deliberately commit crimes. The Amitabha Sutra has pointed out that our world is a land of the Five Turbidities. So, how could the people of a turbid and unwholesome world be good persons?
The Contemplation Sutra also says, “At the age after the Buddha’s extinction, all sentient beings are wicked and unwholesome, and being driven by the Five Sufferings.” So, we are wretched and pitiful sentient beings who are “wicked and unwholesome, and being driven by the Five Sufferings”.
其實，我們本身就是惡人，並非故意起惡造罪才是惡人。《阿彌陀經》就已經點出來了，這個世間就是五濁惡世，五濁惡世的人哪可能是善人呢？
《觀無量壽經》也說：「若佛滅後，諸眾生等，濁惡不善，五苦所逼。」所以，我們都是「濁惡不善，五苦所逼」、可悲可憐的眾生。
Namo Amitabha!
