Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Deep Belief in Cause and Effect
深信因果
(continued)
If a Buddhist practitioner accepts the concept of “karmic retribution due to cause and effect”, he will consider every word, every sentence in the Buddhist teachings as Shakyamuni Buddha’s blood, flesh and bone, revealing his earnest sympathy.
Every word and every sentence reminds us to leave reincarnation within the Three Domains, and proceed to the realm of emancipation. So, there are blood and tears in every word and sentence in the Buddhist teaching. It is not only a philosophy or a study.
All of the words and sentences in the three Pure Land Sutras are the blood and tears of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the flesh and bones of Amitabha Buddha. It is not a drab document in black and white. It is not dead, but lively and alive. It is a living, breathing Path!
如果有「因果業報」的觀念,佛法的每一字、每一句,在他看來都是釋迦牟尼佛的心血、骨肉;每一字、每一句都流露出釋迦牟尼佛深切的悲憫之心。
每一字、每一句都在提醒我們要出三界輪迴,往解脫的境界前進。佛法的每一句在他看來都有血、有淚,而不只是一種哲學、學問而已。
所以《淨土三經》文文句句都是釋迦牟尼佛的血淚,都是阿彌陀佛的骨肉。他不是白紙黑字,不是死的,是活靈靈、活潑潑,生命活躍的。
Namo Amituofo!
