慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦
Each of us ordinary beings has greed, anger, delusion, arrogance and doubt, and the most easily observed are anger and arrogance. In case of a person being heavily attached to self (egocentric), anger and arrogance will be revealed more easily.
Anger and arrogance are mainly revealed through one’s self-esteem and the sense of inferiority, because self-esteem and inferiority are in one entity. When self-esteem is not present, the sense of inferiority takes over. When the sense of inferiority becomes excessive, self-esteem emerges imperceptibly. If one has no self-esteem and no sense of inferiority, he will has a leveled mind, and see things with an ordinary heart. Although he may have a dispute at the moment, he will forget about it afterward, without keeping a sense of resentment.
我們凡夫每個人都有貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑,但最容易表現出來的就是「瞋」跟「慢」,尤其是我執比較重的話,瞋跟慢就更容易顯現出來。
瞋跟慢大都顯現在自尊心跟自卑心,因為自尊、自卑是一體的。不是自尊的時候就自卑,自卑過度無形中就會自尊起來,如果沒有自尊也沒有自卑,就會一種平懷,平常心看待,即使當下有爭執,事後就忘掉,不蓄恨意。
