Voice of Master Jingzong - Q and A about the Purpose of Life
淨宗之聲 - 人生目的問答
(continuation of Q6 - 2/3)
First you must, to a certain extent, try to find satisfaction and gratefulness in your
daily life.
Second, you must try to deal with all matters and relationships in each day with Love.
The most important thing in life is love. If you wish to have a rebirth or a “new” life, you must awaken your ability to love. If you cannot, it is impossible for you to attain a rebirth within this life.
It is like having a body that is injured. It must be healed by the life force in order to have a speedy recovery. The stronger the life force, the faster the recovery. The more the love in your heart is activated, the stronger your life force will become, and you will have a far better quality of life.
If your understanding of a “new life” is defined as: being wealthy, your work going smoothly, being respected by others, having a good family, being a good child, etc., I am afraid you will never attain a “new life”.
It is because your understanding of the meaning of life is more or less the same as before, with no difference in terms of nature or quality, but just in quantity, and feeling better or worse.
With respect to a rebirth or a revitalized life, one must get the answer from the root source of life.
(to be continued tomorrow)
◇ 第一,對現實要有某種程度的滿足和感恩。
◇ 第二,要用愛心對待周圍的一切人事。
生命的本質是愛心,要想獲得重生,必須把愛心啟發出來,把它激活。
如果愛心這個生命的本源沒有激活,那當然不可能獲得重生。
就像我們的身體受到了傷害,它要長出新肉,一定是有生命的機能在支持它。生命力越強,恢復得越快。
我們也一樣,愛心越是純澈,越是廣大深遠,我們的生命力就越強,就能獲得重生。
如果你對“重生”的理解,僅僅是“我能發財,我辦事情很順利,人家都很尊重我,我有一個好家庭、一個好兒子”,僅僅這樣理解的話,恐怕難以達到所謂的重生。
因為你現在這樣的理解,跟你以前的生命並沒有什麼本質上的差別,只是在量上有多少、好壞的分別而已。
所以,對重生、重新的生命,一定要從生命的源頭獲得答案。
Namo Amituofo!
