天地都空，但你的道德，你的善业是不空的

　　当下体悟不到“空”还不要紧，我们至少要戒恶修善。九华山一位肉身菩萨生前说：“好人好自己，坏人坏自己。”请记住这句话，要做个好人。当然，不是说好人就不要见阎王了。但只有先做到好人了，才能进一步说好人也是空的。到那个时候不思善不思恶，天也空地也空。虽然天地都空，但是你的道德，你的善业是不空的。

It doesn’t matter if we are not able to realise ‘emptiness’ for the moment, but we should at least strive to ‘avoid the bad while practicing the good’. Please remember this maxim given by a human Bodhisattva at Mount Jiuhua – ‘a good person brings good fortune to themselves, whilst a bad person brings bad fortune to themselves’. We should all be good people. Of course, this doesn’t mean that a good person can avoid the God of Death and free themselves from being reborn in the cyclic existence, but by being a good person one can further realise that a good person is also ‘void’. With this realisation, one has no conceptualisation of good or bad, and the whole world is also void. On the other hand, although the whole world is void, virtues and good karma are not.
