Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
(continued)
So, for a person who is truly determined to leave home, it is natural to have self-discipline, in order to behave himself in a calm and measured way, not careless or rude. Some people say we are too modest in bearing. As a monastic, we should regret. As we are dressed in the form for leaving home, our internal mind should be level, calm, and not aggressive. Our behavior and appearance should also be calm, steady and even. I hope you all can have this self- discipline.
所以，一個真正發心出家的人，很自然的，他應該會有自我要求，讓自己的身口意都是安詳的、穩重的、不虛浮、不粗暴的。有人說我們威儀不足，這對出家眾來講，應該感到很慚愧。既然現出家相就是為了要修行，首先就是內心要平和、平靜、安穩、無諍，展現在外的，也是穩重的、穩定的、平和的，這方面希望大家都能自我要求。
Namo Amituofo!
