Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching asking “What does life look like?”
慧淨法師之「人生之實相」
If we take what people do and say — the karmic actions of body and speech — as the standard of judgment, then there are still perfect people in this world.
But if we look at the thoughts and intentions within their minds — the karmic actions of mind — as the standard, then there is not a single perfect person in the world.
If we judge according to what is visible to others, there are still virtuous and worthy people in the world.
But if we judge according to what is hidden from others, then the entire world is filled with sinners.
若把身口二業所作所言，作為標準，則天下尚有完人；
若把意業中的所思所念，作為標準，則天下無一完人。
若從人所見處，作為標準，則世間尚有賢人；
若從人不見處，作為標準，則世間皆是罪人。
Namo Amituofo!
