修學佛法最重要的條件是什麼 – 第43集
What is the most important condition for learning and practising Buddhism?
佛法講的是心性，修學佛法最重要的條件就是用真心，因為佛法是世尊真誠心裡面流露出來的，我們的心跟他不一樣就很難體會到。眾生心是妄心，真心裡面是清淨平等覺，沒有絲毫染污，沒有絲毫懷疑，沒有絲毫動搖，我們今天的確，古人所謂的心浮氣躁。
As Buddhism talks about the mind-nature (i.e., the buddha-nature), the most important condition for learning and practising Buddhism is using the true mind. Since Buddhism is expressed from the Buddha’s sincere mind, if our mind is different from that of the Buddha, it will be very difficult for us to comprehend his teachings. Sentient beings’ mind is the deluded mind. The true mind is pure, impartial and enlightened without the slightest defilement, doubt, and wavering. Today, we are indeed impetuous, as the ancients described.
古時候人有，但是那個心浮氣躁的程度非常微少，要用百分比來說，也不過是百分之三、五，這樣的心浮氣躁；現在呢？現在應該到百分之九十五，九十、九十五，怎麼能學？我們從什麼地方看出來？從大善知識不在我們世間了。
Ancient people had impetuousness too but their degree of impetuosity may be as little as three or five percent. How about the people now? Their impetuousness should be ninety or ninety-five percent. How can we learn with such an impetuous mind? Where can we see this? We can see from the great virtuous ones are no longer living in this world.
他們為什麼不來？我們不肯學。我們真正肯學，佛菩薩就來應世，眾生有感，佛就有應。佛菩薩為什麼到世間來？什麼時候來？眾生想學聖教他就來了。
Why did they choose not to come here? Because we are unwilling to learn. If we really want to learn, buddhas and bodhisattvas will come here to respond because whenever there is a seeking from sentient beings, the buddhas will respond. Why do buddhas and bodhisattvas come to this world? When would they come? They would come when sentient beings wish to learn the saints’ teachings.
