从世间人的角度,我们要替这个世间忏悔。同时我们是佛弟子,我们要有这个基础,还要做的比这更好,我们是佛的弟子,完全接受孔子的精神之外,还要做的更好!更加的有智慧,有慈悲的胸怀,要有这种精神。
在这个时候圣贤都来到世界,我们现在是一个出圣贤的时代;但是人类的危机也是空前绝后的一个时代。我们在座的真的是好好的要鞭策自己啊。不要将这个岁月遮住我们的目啊!
印光大师所讲的:“因循二字,误了终生”。过了一天又一天,就这样混混混。。。因循度日。诶!凡人就是这样。圣人就是每天鞭策自己向上向上。
而且我们出家人用功,你得“理明”了之后用功,攻上。你的自我障碍像铁一样啊,所以这个禅宗里讲,蚊子叮铁牛,无下口处,你说怎么修!这个时候更加地要充满信心对善知识的祈祷,痛哭流涕的忏悔 。豁然之间一个晴天霹雳,那才有个入口了。。。你是内外迥脱根尘。从根尘之中打出来打破根尘,才有一点向上的希望。这扇门才真正的开。
As a member of the secular world, we should repent for this world. As disciples of Buddha, we should do better than this. Besides learning the spirit of Confucius, we should have more wisdom and compassion.
At this time sages come to this world. Now we are at a time of sages; while we are also at a time of unprecedented crisis. Everyone at present should urge us on to make progress, and not let the world cover our eyes.
Master Yinguang once said: Procrastination will ruin your life. Day after day, ordinary people idle away their time. What a pity! But sages always urge themselves on to make progress each day.
As monks, we should be diligent. After realizing the truth, we should work hard to overcome our obstacles which are as solid as iron, just as a saying in Zen put it: When a mosquito tries to bite on an iron bull, it does not know where to start. How do we start our practice of Buddhism? In this occasion, we should have more confidence, pray for wise Buddhist teacher, and repent sincerely with tears. Then all of a sudden, like a bolt from the blue, there is an entrance, and you are free from the confinement of the six organs of sense and the dust produced by them. At this time, you have some hope of making progress and the door to Buddhism is really opened.
