Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Departure and Reincarnation
出離與輪迴
All sufferings in our life are resulted from greed, anger and delusion. Anger is like fire, and greed is like water, so Shakyamuni Buddha described the world of the Three Domains as a ‘house on fire’, and that of the Six Realms is a ‘sea of suffering’. From the hell to the highest heaven, everywhere is the suffering sea and full of flames. Our Saha World can be said to be filled with various sufferings, but how about the Land of Bliss then?
The Amitabha Sutra says, “Why is that land called 'Land of Bliss'? The inhabitants in that land suffer no pain but only enjoy pleasures of various kinds. For this reason, that land is called 'Land of Bliss.”
人生的苦，就是眾生都具有貪瞋癡，瞋就像火，貪就像海，所以釋迦牟尼佛說三界是火宅、六道是苦海，從地獄一直到非想非非想處天，到處都是苦海、都充滿了大火，可說娑婆世界是眾苦充滿。而極樂世界怎麼樣？《阿彌陀經》說：「彼土何故名為極樂？其國眾生，無有眾苦，但受諸樂，故名極樂。」
Namo Amitabha!
