慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦
慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦
In an organization, if an officer reminds us of something about the public affairs, it is not regarded as a gossip. We should accept with humility. It is said to be ‘delighted when hearing of virtuous acts, and prostrated when hearing of wrongdoings. In this way, our meritorious blessings can be increased, and our karmic obstructions can be eliminated.
When other people point out our faults, we should admit with humility. Even if they slander us at the back, we should accept too. In some cases, if it is required to clarify, we should make it clear, and express it as such. If it is difficult to say and explain, it is better to accept willingly, plainly and peacefully.
團體當中，如果是執事對有關公務或某些事情的提示叮嚀，這不是是非，我們應該謙卑接受，所謂「聞善則喜，聞過則拜」，這樣不僅能夠增長自己的福德，也能夠消除自己的業障。
別人指出我們的不對，我們應該謙虛地接受，乃至是背後的誹謗，也要接受。當然有些事情若是應該說清楚的，應該解釋明白的，都應清楚平實地表達。可是如果難以說清楚，也無法解釋的話，那就要甘心、平順、安然地來接受。
Namo Amitabha!
