慧淨上人法語
出離與輪迴
Common people in the world want to pursue wealth, complete high education, and seek for boundless knowledge. However, no matter how high his academic qualification and how knowledgeable he is, the Buddha will call him a fool if he does not believe in retributions resulted from good and evil karma, and is ignorance about the Law of Cause and Effect of the past, present and future, and ignorance about reincarnations within the Six Realms.
On the contrary, even if a person is not educated, illiterate, and has no culture, the Buddha will give him a thumbs up and praise him as a wise person if he believes in retributions resulted from good and evil karma, the Law of Cause and Effect of the past, present and future, and reincarnations within the Six Realms, and he also seek ways and prepare himself for liberation from reincarnations within the Six Realms.
世間一般人都要追求富貴,都要完成高學歷,追尋無邊的知識,但不管他有多高的學歷,多豐富的學問,如果他不相信有善惡報應,不知有三世因果、六道輪迴,佛陀則說他是一個愚癡的人。
反過來說,一個人即使沒有受教育,不認識字,毫無文化,可是他相信有善惡報應、有三世因果、有六道輪迴,而且也預先為自己尋找、準備解脫六道輪迴的方法,那佛陀就會豎起大拇指,稱讚他是一個有智慧的人。
Namo Amitabha!
