慧淨上人法語
機法深信

Shakyamuni Buddha says, “It is difficult to have a human body.” The chance to have a human body likes a blind turtle catches a floating plank. This being the case, we all have been reincarnated in the Three Wretched Realms.  The most deplorable is “without hope to leave the cycle of rebirth”. If we didn’t have the chance in the past, we do not have it now. However, if there is a chance in the future, we still have a slim hope. If there is no hope to leave at all, that means we have to reincarnate endlessly in the Three Wretched Realms forever, from beginning to end!

釋迦牟尼佛說「人身難得」，得人身就好像「盲龜值浮木」，既然如此，當然都是在三惡道輪迴。最可悲的是「無有出離之緣」，如果過去沒有機會，現在也沒有機會，可是未來有機會的話，那還有一線希望；但如果都沒有出離之緣，豈不是永恆地、盡未來際、從始到終都要在三惡道輪轉了！
