Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about “The Fear of Death”
慧淨法師之「 死的恐怖」
Life and death are not two separate things. They are one reality— inseparable, though not identical. They are forever bound together: neither the same nor different.
They are like the two sides of a sheet of paper, one being the front and the other the back; or like the two sides of a coin. Wherever there is birth, there must be death. There is no birth that is free from death. This is why we say that life and death are “one.”
生與死不是兩個東西，生死一如，一如不是一樣，但卻密不可分。永在一起，非同非異。如紙兩面，表裏一如，又如正面與反面，故有生必有死，沒有不死之生，故曰一如。
Namo Amituofo!
