Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Practicing Various Virtues
眾善奉行
Our speech and actions are controlled by our minds. So, our minds are most important. To purify our minds means to free our thoughts of defilement. Every single thought should be pure and wholesome. If it is like this, we are proceeding toward the goal of Buddhahood. So, “cease from evil, do all good things, and purify our minds. This is the teaching of all buddhas.”
The teachings spoken by all buddhas – all buddhas in the ten directions and the three periods of time appear in the secular worlds, and teach sentient beings to refrain from evil, practice virtues, and purify their minds, in order to reach the state of Buddhahood.
人的言語、行為,都是由內心所發動,所以最重要的還是內心。
「自淨其意」,就是要使我們的心念,念念都清淨無污染,念念都純善無惡, 如果這樣,就可以朝向成佛的目標。所以,「諸惡莫作,眾善奉行,自淨其意 ,是諸佛教」。
所謂「是諸佛教」就是佛所說的教。凡是十方三世一切諸佛, 示現在世間教化眾生,都希望眾生諸惡莫作,眾善奉行,最後自淨其意,達到佛的境界。
Namo Amituofo!
