执迷不悟的修行者

Master Wonder · Oct 23, 2024

有一天,一位来自中国山东的年轻人前来咨询,向我讲述了他遭遇不公的经历。经过一番观察,我了解了事情的来龙去脉,以及其中的因果关系。为了警示佛法修行者,我将此事记录下来。 有些佛法修行者,在去世后,由于对生前师者的深厚情感和执着,选择不去转生,而是发愿守护师者,振兴佛法。这本应是一件好事,但他们未曾意识到,自己无法往生极乐世界,正是因为生前功德有欠缺。然而,由于生前修行尚存善德与佛德,天地神灵敬重佛德,因此特别关照,为他们提供便利。 这些修行者在人间,按照师者的指引,寻找未来的佛菩萨,类似于藏地寻找转世活佛。然而,他们未能认识到,自己修行佛法的主要缺陷在于未能悟证得“众生即佛”的真谛。 皈依三宝(佛、法、僧)中,佛为首。佛旨在让众生认清无知无明,脱离苦海,达至彼岸,成就一切善果与功德。佛德遍及天下,慈悲为怀,救拔众生,天地敬仰,人神供养。 然而,这些护持佛法的修行者误解了师者的指示,早早在人们年幼时便认定他们是自己要寻找的对象,进而不断提示,数年后甚至上身附体。他们忘记了佛陀的教诲:“众生皆可成佛。”而把师者的话当作佛旨,未能明白: 一切佛法源自众生, 一切佛经由众生传承, 一切佛皆由众生而至。 佛陀曾说:“我什么也没有说。”这句话已经足够说明问题。 这些修行者的缺陷,正是因为在生前仅皈依师者或僧侣,而未能真正认识到众生即佛。如果仅皈依一人,又何必强调三宝的共同勉励?佛是智慧者、开悟者、解慧者,旨在避免修行者走入误区。然而,问题还是发生了。 情感上的依赖并非真正的皈依三宝。那些自称“我师父是佛菩萨”的修行者,尤其需要警醒。 修行有缺,路途受阻,恐难圆满! 特此提醒:皈依三宝,以道德善,行修菩提之道。

Shaping Children’s Mindset: The Power of Love and Experiences

Daohe · Oct 23, 2024

A child’s growth is not merely about physical development. It’s more about the extension and growth of their thinking and perception. When it comes to education, we often focus on accumulating knowledge and help children develop concrete and abstract thinking skills to better study knowledge. However, gaining knowledge is not the whole picture of cognitive […]
