Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Truth of Impermanence
諸行無常
A person who has a strong sense of death is likely to be a scrupulous Buddhist, because this sense can motivate him to work hard. Even though no one encourages or urges him, he is self-motivated to find a teaching that can liberate him in this lifetime.
If a person’s sense of the nearness of death is weak, he will be carefree, and drift from one teaching to another. If death comes suddenly, he will be totally unprepared.
一個無常觀很深刻的人,才會是一個老實學佛的人,因為無常觀深刻就會推動他精進用功,即使沒有人鼓勵他、鞭策他,他也會自動自發的去尋找今生今世能夠解脫的法門。
如果無常觀不深刻的話,他就會悠悠泛泛,東尋西探,一天過一天,等到真正無常來的時候就來不及了。
NAmo Amituofo!
