Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Truth of Impermanence
諸行無常
The Diamond Sutra says, “All conditioned Dharma is like a dream, a bubble, dew, and lightning. We should visualize it as such.” What does “all conditioned dharma” mean? As small as our bodies, as large as our: spirits, land, mountains, rivers, the Earth, the Sun, the Galaxy and the entire universe. All are known as conditioned Dharma. From the point of view of the Buddha, they are as unreal as a dream, an illusion, or a bubble. They are as temporary as dew or a bolt of lightning.

《金剛經》說:「一切有為法,如夢幻泡影,如露亦如電,應作如是觀。」什麼是「一切有為法」呢?小至我們的身體、精神,大至外在的山河大地,甚至地球、太陽、銀河系、整個宇宙都是有為法。既然是有為法,以佛的眼光來看,都是如夢幻泡影般的不實在,如露亦如電那樣的短暫。
Namo Amituofo!
