Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Attributes of the Pure Land School of Buddhism: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
“Learn from Amitabha Buddha’s great compassion: Treat others the way Amitabha treats you.” The demand as said in the statement is very high. As far as we ordinary people are concerned, to what extent we can do depends on how far we learn.
If this is the case, how far we can realize Amitabha’s compassionate mind and feel Amitabha’s love, we should treat other people to the same extent, and vice versa. It means that, how we treat other people can prove how far we feel about Amitabha’s love.
If we feel about Amitabha’s love, we don’t bargain and don’t mind to lose, and have a spirit to give. We can even sacrifice to give as much as we can.
「學佛大悲心──彌陀如何為我,我便如何為人」,這一句話的境界是很高的,對我們來講,是學多少做多少。
如果這樣的話,我們對彌陀的悲心、彌陀的愛體會多少,對人的表現就會有多少;對人的表現有多少,就證明了體會彌陀的愛有多少。
當體會到彌陀的愛,就會肯吃虧不計較,也會有奉獻的精神,自己力之所及、做得到的,就能夠犧牲奉獻。
Namo Amituofo!
