Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
In the Chapter of Yanyuan in the Analects of Confucius, it says, “a kind person’s words are ‘conservative’. He does not speak for temporary joy and he cannot bear to do so.”
If a person is sympathetic, he cannot bear to gossip or comment about others. He accepts loss as a normal part of life. A person who is able to accept loss possesses great wisdom and blessings.
《論語》〈顏淵篇〉有一句話:「仁者其言也訒」,一個君子對他所要講的話,要忍耐片刻,不可逞一時之快,要有所不忍心。
一個人如果有惻隱之心,他會不忍講人家的是非好壞。從此之後,凡事就肯吃虧、不計較,真正肯吃虧的人,他一定是有福報有智慧的人。
Namo Amituofo!
