Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Truth of Impermanence
諸行無常
Whether it is the Sacred Path or the Pure Land Path, we should take “suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and no-self” as the foundation in studying and practicing Buddhism. If we do not include “suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and no-self”, we will not be studying Buddhism. Though some may think they are studying Buddhism, they have reduced it to a mere philosophy and knowledge.
不管是聖道門也好、淨土門也好,只要是佛教的修習,都要以「苦、空、無常、無我」為共通的基礎,如果沒有「苦、空、無常、無我」的觀念,就不會來學佛;即使學佛,也只是將佛法當作一種哲學、學問而已。
