Voice of Master Jingzong - Q and A about the Purpose of Life
淨宗之聲 - 人生目的問答
(continuation of Q7 - 2/6)
Loneliness is the real state of life. Everyone’s life unfolds in accordance with his own individual karmic force, and no other person is responsible for it.
Why does a person feel lonely? It is because he left the home of our Dharma Nature and departed from the substance and the original source of life.
It is like a wanderer who has left his warm home while in a bewildered state. It is also like a leaf that falls from a tree and is blown by the wind on to an icy surface far away. It must be lonely.
Only if we return to the home of our Buddha-Nature, return to the substance of life, the origin of life, and return to the real self, can we eradicate all feelings of loneliness.
(to be continued tomorrow)
孤獨是人生的實相,每一個人都是隨各人的業力獨自展現他的生命,沒有第二個人能夠為他負責。
人為什麼會覺得孤獨呢?是因為他離開了佛性之家,離開了生命的本體和本源。如同一個遊子,離開了溫暖的家,如同一個浪子,孤苦飄零,好像一片樹葉離開了支撐它的大樹,獨自被風吹向遠處,孤零零地躺在冰冷的地上,這當然孤獨了。
我們只有回歸到佛性之家,回歸到生命的本體、生命的源頭,回歸到真實的自我,才可以消除一切孤獨感。
Namo Amituofo!
