慧淨上人法語
佛法知見

In the Buddhist teachings, there is explicit and specific explanation on the “foundation of the Buddhist Way”, which refers to the “Five Precepts” and the “Ten Wholesome Deeds”. No matter you take the Sagely Path or the Pure Land Path, holding the Five Precepts and practicing the Ten Wholesome Deeds are necessary, as it is fundamental in learning the Buddhist Way. Based on that, we should proceed to understand and experience the Truth of Suffering, the Truth of Accumulation, the Truth of Extinction and the Truth of Way, and then proceed further to realize them. If a person cannot achieve holding the Five Precepts and practicing the Ten Wholesome Deeds, it is impossible for him to leave the reincarnation within the Three Domains and the Six Realms.

「道基」在佛法上有非常明確具體的說明，就是「五戒」和「十善」，不管是聖道門或淨土門，持五戒、修十善都是必須的，這是所有學道的基本；在這個基礎上，再進一步體會苦、集、滅、道，進而證悟苦、集、滅、道。如果連五戒、十善都做不到的話，這個人根本不可能脫離三界六道輪迴。
