用真心生活快樂無比 - 第126集

We will be very happy if we use the true mind to live our life

決定不能懷疑,決定不要摻雜妄想雜念,心要清淨。所以我們平常要練用真誠心,無論對待什麼人用真心,決定不吃虧。不可以說我對佛用真心,我對一般人就用妄心。他用妄心對我,我用妄心對他,錯了。

We must never harbour doubts and intermingle with wandering and distracting thoughts. Our mind has to be pure. That’s why we must always practise sincerity by treating everyone (no matter who) with the true mind. We definitely would not suffer losses. We cannot say that we treat buddhas with the true mind, but treat ordinary people with the deluded mind. It is wrong to treat others with the deluded mind just because they treated us so.

妄心用成習慣,對佛還是妄心,這就錯了,要把它轉過來。不怕吃虧,不怕上當,吃虧上當無所謂,因為我們的目標在極樂世界,我不想在這個世界。這個世界什麼都能放得下,沒有貪戀,沒有佔有,你多自在!

If we use the deluded mind habitually, we would treat buddhas with the deluded mind too. This is wrong and we must turn around to use the true mind. We must not be afraid of suffering losses and being deceived. It does not matter that we suffer losses and are deceived because our goal is to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss and we do not want to live in this world anymore. We can let go of everything in this world as we neither have greedy attachment nor the thought of possessing. How free we are!

心開意解,快樂無比,沒有煩惱,沒有憂慮,真心生活,工作、待人接物全用真心。我們念念跟阿彌陀佛一樣,希望一切眾生都能夠明瞭、都有緣分接觸到淨土法門,都能夠真信真願老實念佛,將來都是極樂世界彌陀會上的同參道友,這多美好!

Understanding this, we are very happy without afflictions and worries as we use the true mind to live, work and deal with people and matters in life. Every of our thoughts is the same as Amitabha Buddha’s, hoping that all sentient beings would be able to understand and have the affinity to encounter Pure Land Buddhism, and can sincerely chant Amitabha Buddha’s name with true belief and vow, thereby joining Amitabha Buddha’s assembly of spiritual practitioners in the Land of Ultimate Bliss in the future. How wonderful it is!

別人對我不好,我對他好;別人毀謗我,我讚歎他,對自己有大利益,為什麼?自己真正放下,跟任何人沒有衝突。他要的我不要,我要的他不要,我們跟任何人沒有利害衝突。世間人放不下的,財色名利、七情五欲,不就這個東西嗎?我們這個全放下,法尚應捨,何況非法。

If I treat others well when they mistreat me, and praise them when they slander me, I would reap great benefits. Why is that so? Because I have really let go and have no conflicts with anyone. Since I do not want what they want, and what I want, they do not want, I have no conflict of interest with anyone. Aren’t the worldly people not able to let go of wealth, lust, fame, profit, as well as the Seven Emotions (i.e., pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy, love, hatred, desire) and Five Desires? We have completely let go of these things. As the Diamond Sutra states, “Even the Dharma should be cast aside, let alone the non-Dharma!”
