Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Encouragement to practice Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
(continued)
Householder Jingwu Auyeung had a deep and profound understanding of Buddhist studies, and was a great master of his era. However, his understanding was only intellectual and not useful in cultivating his mind according to the teachings. Though he was known to have studied the Buddhist teachings for his whole life, it was only valuable for writing and discussion.
If a person does not cultivate his mind according to the Buddhist teachings, his knowledge will only bring him more false and miscellaneous thoughts. He must be confused and panic when his eyes close at his end-of- life.
歐陽竟無佛學底子是很深厚的,可說是一代宗師,但他學佛主要用力是在學問上,而不在於藉教觀心、依教奉行,所以雖說一生研究佛學,然而可說只是「記問之學」。
因為,一個人如果不藉教觀心、依教奉行,等於只是增加自己的妄想雜念,到最後眼光落地時常會手忙腳亂的。
Namo Amituofo!
