Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Practicing Various Virtues
眾善奉行

“Injustice in the three periods of time” means in this lifetime people learn Buddhism and practice generosity, so that they accumulate abundant merits and virtues. In their next life, people enjoy wealth and health; but, commit offenses unconsciously in that joyous environment. In their third lifetime they will decline and fall. So, Shakyamuni Buddha preaches his teaching, with no intention of asking us to accumulate merits through virtuous practices for future enjoyment, in human or celestial realms. No! He asks us to dedicate them for rebirth in the Land of Bliss when we are close to death.

所謂的「三世冤」,就是說這一輩子學佛、布施累積了很多的功德,下一輩子就享受富貴,接著,人在歡樂當中,不知不覺就造惡了,第三輩子就墮落了。

所以釋迦牟尼佛宣說佛法,不是要我們行善積德來升天或當人享福樂,不是!是要我們迴向臨終往生極樂世界。
