Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching asking “What does life look like?”
慧淨法師之「人生之實相」
(continued)
Master Tanluan said:
“All the ‘good’ and all the rewards of humans and heavenly beings — whether causes or results—are all inverted, all false.”
“The Three Realms are marked by : inversion, falsity, defilement, destruction, and ceaseless turning, throughout infinity.”
“The Three Realms are like a dark house in which ordinary beings are born, wander, revolve, and die.”
“The Three Realms arise from the leaking perverse paths. Beings slumber in a great, long dream, knowing nothing of how to hope for escape.”
Master Daoan said:
“Reflecting on myself, my offenses are deep—how could I possibly cross over to liberation?”
Master Tanluan also said:
“ Through beginningless time I have wandered through the Three Realms, swept along by the wheel of delusion.
The karma produced by even a single thought or a single movement, is enough to bind me to the six paths and imprison me in the three evil destinies.”

曇鸞大師說:人天諸善,人天果報,若因若果,皆是顛倒,皆是虛偽。 三界是顛倒相、虛偽相、污染相、破壞相、輪轉相、無窮相。 三界是生死凡夫流轉之闇宅。
三界是有漏邪道所生,長寢大夢,莫知悕出。
道安大師說:自惟罪深,詎可度脫?
曇鸞大師說:我從無始循三界,為虛妄輪所迴轉;一念一時所造業,足繫六道 滯三塗。
