上人法語
淨土述懷
There is a saying: A master leads us by opening and entering the gate; however, it is up to the individual to practice. It also says, progress in one’s spiritual journey relies “30 percent on the relationship between mentor and mentee, and 70 percent on friendship with the Buddhist Way.” We share certain karmic conditions - I appear in the form of a monastic; but, we practice the same teaching and strive for our common ideology. However, I am just your friend in the Buddhist Way and not your master. It is much more appropriate for us to treat each other as friends.
有一句話說,「師父領進門,修行在個人」;又說「三分師徒,七分道友」,我們有緣現出家相,甚至在這裡共同學這個法門,為共同的理想來奮鬥,我跟大家猶如是同參道友,所以在我來講,我不以為我是師父,大家可以對我以同參道友來互相看待。
Namo Amituofo!
