Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - the Buddha’s Enlightening Mottos
醒世箴言
Once born in the world, we are sentenced to death. The date of death is not fixed, as we don’t know when it will come. However, it can come at any time; so, we should prepare for our final moment and aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss. Then it doesn’t matter when death comes. Even if it comes all of a sudden, we can still be reborn in the Land of Bliss.
We need not wait until the day we die, and then ask people for assisted recitation for transcendental deliverance. We can prepare right now.
人一出生下來,就已經被判了死刑,而且,這個死刑是不定期的,它什麼時候來臨我們不知道,但是說到就到,我們要預先為自己送終;為自己送終是現在就發願願生極樂世界,不管死亡什麼時候來,一旦來的時候,就能往生極樂世界。
我們不必等死亡那一天,才讓別人為我們助念超度,現在就可以親自為自己準備。
Namo Amituofo!
