Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
In the Buddhist practices, regardless of the school, faith is a very important foundation. As said in the Treatise of Understanding a Hundred Teachings in the Mere Consciousness School, faith is within the scope of our understanding and is “associated with the virtuous mind.” It means, if you have faith, you will have the respective virtues; if you don’t have faith, you will not have those virtues. Why?
It is because, in whatever good practices, charitable activity, merit and virtues, if you don’t believe in it, you will not pursue it. Thus, if there is no cause for practicing good, it is impossible to have good rewards.
在佛法修行中,不論任何法門,信都是非常重要的基礎。唯識宗《百法明門論》裡面有說,信是屬於「善心所」,是屬於善心的範圍,也就是有了信,就有了這方面的善;如果沒有信,就沒有這方面的善。
為什麼?因為,再怎麼樣的好事、善事、功德,如果不信的話,就不會去做,如果沒有行善的因,就不可能得到善的果。
Namo Amituofo!
