Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
The education we receive, the scriptures we read, and the teachings we hear reside in the shallow layer within the scope of the Sixth Consciousness. These include: matter, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma, eye, ear, nose, tongue, skin and brain.
So, when we read and ponder the meaning of a scripture, extract quotations, or prepare to make a speech on the stage, all are included within the scope of knowledge. Any corrections can only change the structure of knowledge, or slightly change our appearance and spirit. However, it won’t change our karmic retribution and character at a deep level.
我們所受的教育,所看的經論,所聽來的法,其實都還是在淺層的第六意識範圍,所謂色聲香味觸法,眼耳鼻舌身意;我們讀經,思索經文涵意,甚至尋章摘句,思考如何上臺演講,這一些都是知識的範圍,只能改變學問的結構,也少許會改變精神相貌,但是還無力改變我們深層的性格與業力果報。
Namo Amituofo!
