Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
As Buddhists, we should support and sponsor in accordance with our conditions and capacities. However, there is a principle – don’t feel stressed or annoyed about those actions. If you feel tense and afflicted after doing them, it is not appropriate. In such a case, it is better not to do them. If you do them, be joyful, feel worthy and needed; otherwise, you may feel afflicted and unhappy. You may even make unfavorable karmic connections with others, which is certainly not appropriate.
身為佛教徒,對於佛教也應隨緣隨分去護持,但是,有一個原則就是不自苦、不自惱。若做了之後,覺得很辛苦、懊惱,這樣就不妥當,就不需要去做;要做就做到讓自己感到喜樂,感到有價值,感到有需要,否則若做得苦苦惱惱,會使自己不安樂、不歡喜,而且也會或多或少與他人結怨,這樣就不適當了。
Namo Amituofo!
