Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
In the perspective of ordinary beings, there is space, directions, birth and death, the Six Realms and the Three Wretched Realms in reincarnation. Hence, there is cause and effect in the three periods of time – present, past and future, and the reincarnation within the Six Realms.
However, in the perspective of the Buddha, there is no so-called space, no existence of the so-called six directions. It can be said that the Buddha’s body and mind is filled in emptiness—the endless space. So, the Buddha is omnipresent, which means coming from nowhere and going to nowhere. In other words, there is no production and no extinction. So, it is said that “no production and no extinction; not in the past, not at present and not in the future”.
對我們凡夫來講，有空間、有方位，有生有死，有六道三途輪迴，因此就有現在、過去、未來的三世因果、六道輪迴。
但是對佛來講，無所謂空間，沒有所謂東西南北上下空間的存在，可以說盡虛空都在佛的身心裏面，所以，佛是無所不在的，沒有所謂的從哪裡來、往哪裡去，所以說來無所來、去無所去，也是無生無滅。因此說「無生無滅，非過現未來」。
Namo Amitabha!
