Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School:
Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
During many lives, all sentient beings have played the role of parent, son, daughter, spouse, relative, and dependent; so, we should not treat other sentient beings as if they have no relationship with us.
We should treat them as if they are our close relatives. We Buddhists should think in this way, and treat them as the Buddhas would.
If a Buddhist has this kind of thinking, he is truly a Buddhist. Moreover, in dealing with human relationships, he is less likely to feel they are unfair and become dissatisfied, jealous, or angry.
一切眾生生生世世以來,都互相做過父母,做過子女,甚至做過夫妻、六親眷屬,不要把對方認為只是其他動物,跟我們沒有關係。
要把他當作是我們的親人,我們的父母、兄弟、子女、六親眷屬,我們學佛就要有這樣的體會,而且要抱著這樣的佛心來看待對方。
學佛的人如果有這種觀念,就是真正的學佛。這樣人跟人相處,就不會有不平、不滿、比較、
Namo Amituofo!
