Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Life Education
生活教育
A person who does not believe in an afterlife cannot believe in reincarnation, the cycle of birth-and-death, and will not consider what happens if there is a next birth.
He thinks death is like extinguishing an oil fire. Since he does not fear reincarnation, he continually commits karmic offenses both physically and mentally through the exercise of his free will.
Despite the evidence of a “next life and reincarnation”, it is more rational to believe in “no life after death and no reincarnation”. However, for our own interests and benefits, we should study and prepare for our future life.
一個人不相信來世,就不會相信有生死輪迴,也不考慮來生後世。以為人死就如燈滅, 所以不畏懼輪迴, 則往往會有無惡不作、無作不惡的身心行為。
「有下輩子、有輪迴」的證據,比「人死就斷滅,沒有任何輪迴」的理由要充足可信得多,所以我們生而為人,對於有關自己切身利害關係的這個來世,我們就要預先去探討,然後預先去準備。
Namo Amituofo!
