Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School:
Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
“A person loses, but he will be compensated by the heavenly god.” Loss means being taken advantage of by others. If we are willing to be taken advantage of by others, and lose one part, the heavenly god will compensate us ten or even a hundred parts.
So, when we read this statement in the attributes of our school, it is teaching us that we should be tolerant and not argue, and have no negative or ill feelings. In so doing, we won’t feel that life is unfair or unsatisfactory, and our ability to endure will improve.
「人虧天補」，吃虧就是佔便宜，肯吃虧一分，天就補你十分、甚至百分，這就是「天道虧盈益謙」。
所以背到這一段宗風的時候，就肯忍辱不去計較，甚至心中沒有負面的情緒，不會覺得心中有不平不滿需要去忍。
Namo Amituofo!
