Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Departure and Reincarnation
出離與輪迴
Passing a day in life means getting a day closer to hell. No matter how successful and famous in career, he will still have to meet with Yama King after death, and continue to reincarnate. Helping him merely with physical means and relief is a kind of worldly kindness and compassionate love.
If we take one step further, let him be liberated from reincarnation, and not to repeatedly suffer from the cycle of birth-and-death, or even let him become a Buddha so that he can be liberated from reincarnation forever. Would not this be the greatest kind of compassion? Would not this be the greatest kind of wisdom? Therefore, from this point of view, those who propagate the Pure Land teaching can be said having great compassion and great wisdom.
人生每過一天就等於更接近地獄一天,再怎麼樣的功成名就,死了還是要跟閻羅王見面,還是要繼續輪迴。只在物質上幫助他、救濟他,是一種世間善與慈悲愛心。
若能進而讓他了脫生死輪迴,讓他不再輪迴、不再反覆受同樣的苦,甚至能夠讓他成佛,永離六道輪迴,這一種慈悲,豈不就是大慈悲!這種智慧,豈不就是大智慧!所以,從這一點來講,弘揚淨土法門的人,可以說是大慈悲、大智慧。
Namo Amitabha!
