Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Deep Faith in Aptitude and Teaching
機法深信
Wisdom indicates “enlightening the Mind and seeing the Nature, entering deeply into the Sutras and having wisdom like the ocean”. Enlightening the Mind and seeing the Nature is reaching a realm of enlightenment and awakening, witnessing and realizing the truth and the Buddha Nature. I wonder how many people can achieve it. As for entering deeply into the Sutras and having wisdom like ocean, it is even more difficult.
Relying on self-powered practices, one must hold precepts, practice meditation and attain wisdom in full before one can be liberated from the cycle of birth-and-death. However, are we capable of practicing this sagely path? Reviewing only this point, we know we do not afford to practice and learn it. So, what should we do? In front of us are fire trenches of the three wretched realms.
「慧」是指「明心見性，深入經藏，智慧如海」。「明心見性」，是達到開悟、覺悟的境界，印證了真理和佛性，此世有幾人能達到；至於「深入經藏，智慧如海」，則更困難了。
靠自力修行，唯有具足戒、定、慧才能了生脫死，這是聖道門，我們能修嗎？單從這一點來檢討，就可以了解我們修不起，學不成。那怎麼辦呢？擺在目前就是三惡道火坑。
Namo Amitabha!
