Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
(continued)

Once a practitioner can enter the meditative state, he has paranormal powers. That means at the very least, he can pass through walls without any obstruction; and know the past and the future. Even if he can practice and reach this meditative state, his “karmic practices are unreal”, and “cannot be upheld permanently”.

Shakyamuni Buddha says: At the end of his life, he has to reincarnate according to his karma, and will fall into the Three Wretched Realms – hell beings, hungry ghosts and animals. In other words, if a person is not reborn in the Land of Bliss, the Three Wretched Realms are waiting for him. Though he may ascend to heaven and live there, he does not escape from the Three Wretched Realms. So, what ordinary beings practice “cannot be upheld permanently”, and all are called “unreal karma. “

只要能夠入定的話,就有神通,最起碼是出入牆壁無所障礙,而且能夠知道過去、未來。但即使是修行達到這個地步,還是「虛妄業作」,還是「不能住持」。

釋迦牟尼佛說,命終還是隨業流轉,還是會墮落在三惡道──地獄、餓鬼、畜牲道。可以說,如果不往生極樂世界,三惡道就在眼前等他,即使能夠上天,生在天界,還是不離開三惡道。所以凡夫所作都是「不能住持」,都是「虛妄業」。
