A lot of people love to talk about compassion and peace regarding home, foreign and domestic affairs. But did not have the compassion and peace in mind, then how will the true compassion and peace be formed?

所有的人,都爱说的范围是:国内,国外与家庭的慈悲与和平。但是反过来内心却没有慈悲与和平的想法,那么,真正的慈悲与和平怎样能形成的呢?

佈施和修行有什麼關係?


問:師父,佈施和修行有關系麼?

  師答:佈施是長養慈悲心最直接的方法。佈施,是積聚福德資糧最快的方法。佈施,是折服我慢最有力的武器,佈施,是降伏貪心最殊勝的法門。不管是財施,還是法佈施,或者其他的佈施,都非常殊勝。因為這一切都增長著心中的愛與善念,讓你變得一天比一天更加慈悲。當你先將這份愛波及你身邊的人,再一點點將它擴散出去的時候,你就會發現,所有的分別心都在一點點消散,你的煩惱及執著也漸漸地消失了蹤影,你的明空會一天比一天更加牢固。從這個角度上來說,你甚至要關懷那些你看不順眼的人,關懷那些有很多毛病的人,以及那些曾經害過你,現在仍然想要害你的人。能自然而然地做到這一點,而不是刻意地去做,才是真正的“無緣大慈,同體大悲”。達到這種境界的時候,你會發現,沒有人能令你憤怒、嫉妒、恨,也沒有人能令你貪婪、無知、墮落,你的心裡充滿了坦然、快樂、逍遙。如是故,我常說“慈悲是無上的鎧甲,佈施是圓滿的基石”。

Dedication


Due to this merits,
May I soon,
Attain the enlightened state of Guru Buddha,
That I may be able to librate all sentient beings from their suffering.

May the precious bodhi mind, Not yet been born in me, will arise and grow.
May the birth have no decline, and will increase forever more.
