隨喜是純淨純善的心 - 第245集
Rejoicing in the merits of others is a purely wholesome mind.
我勸大家都向老和尚學習，每天把光碟看三遍，念一萬聲佛號，迴向求生淨土，這是隨喜功德。真聽懂了，真幹的人愈多，這功德就愈大。這個時間要長遠，十年、二十年、三十年、五十年、一百年，往後九千年，大家都能夠記住這樁事情，認真努力學習，這功德多大？太大了！
I urge everyone to learn from Great Master Hai Xian by watching the video depicting his life three times a day, recite 10,000 Amitabha Buddha’s name every day, and dedicate the merits to be reborn in the Pure Land. This is rejoicing in the merits of others. The more people who really understand and truly practise according to the Great Master’s teachings, the greater the merits would be. If everyone could remember and conscientiously practise his teachings in the next ten years, twenty, thirty, fifty and one hundred years or even nine thousand years later, how great would the merits be! It would be incredibly great!
一樁事情，如果我要嫉妒障礙，看到他的好，我不如他，我把它銷毀，我不讓別人知道，那個罪多大？不是跟海賢法師一個人結罪，是跟將來所有能得到他利益的。他利益裡頭最殊勝就是一生往生不退成佛，算帳從這算，那這個罪過就大了，就太嚴重了。
By contrast, if we harbour jealousy and create obstacles to the Great Master (because he is better than us) by destroying him so that others would not be able to know him, how great would the misdeeds be? Well, we are not guilty to the Great Master alone, but also to all those who can derive benefits from his demonstration in the future. The most exceptional benefit is being reborn in the Pure Land and becoming a buddha in one lifetime without retrogression. If we calculate the offence based on this, then this offence is too great and too serious!
往後九千年，這個正法流通多少人得利益？你在此地一下把它堵住，叫所有人不能得利益，這個帳不是對我，是對影響的眾生有多少人，影響的時代有多麼長，從這裡結罪。我們得搞清楚、搞明白，隨喜功德很好修。它的反面是嫉妒障礙，嫉妒障礙是存的非常不善的心。隨喜是非常純淨純善的心，所以要知道學。
How many people would benefit from the dissemination of this True Dharma nine thousand years down the road? If you block the dissemination of the True Dharma now, causing everyone to be unable to derive its benefits, then you are not owing a debt to me, but to the number of people who would be influenced by the teachings, depending on how long the influence would last. We have to be clear about this. In fact, it is very easy to cultivate rejoicing in the merits of others. Contrary to this is being jealous and posing obstacles to others, which are very unwholesome minds. Rejoicing in the merits of others is a purely wholesome mind, so we must know how to learn and practise it.
