Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about “What does life look like?” 
慧淨法師之「人生之實相」

Although we may perform acts that appear to be acts of generosity, sadly, we often continue to remember them long afterward, quietly harboring within ourselves a subtle and conceited sense of superiority, i.e. a petty sense of pride . 

雖然做了似乎布施的行為,但可悲的是無論到了何時,總是留著記憶,並且在心中悄然存著卑賤之自負。

I can resolve to do good through my own will; but, whether I can actually carry it out is not entirely up to me. 

立志行善由得我,只是行出來由不得我。

No-reality is the reality of ordinary beings. Our real selves constantly contain evil thoughts. 

無實是凡夫之實。心常念惡,是真實之自己。

Overindulging in things that are not appropriate for you can also constitute the offense of stealing. 

多食用與己不相應之物,亦是偷盜罪。

Hatred is a terrible thing that can shorten one’s life. 

瞋恚是縮短我人生命的恐怖之物。

25. To hate someone is akin to killing them. Using one’s tongue to speak recklessly and carelessly, is like setting a fire. 

25. 恨人即是殺人,舌頭如火,亂講話如同放火。

From the moment we are born, each of us carries within us a competitive desire to be better than others. 

Especially in today’s world, where the survival of the fittest prevails and competition for survival is so intense, this competitive spirit is being stirred up even more strongly.

24. 每一個人,從出生以來,都帶著要比他人優秀的鬥爭心。 特別在優勝劣敗、生存競爭激烈的現在,更加倍的在煽動著鬥爭心。

慧淨法師之「人生之實相」

Human beings have their limitations: if we do not kill, eat meat, or commit offenses, we cannot survive. Survival itself is a seed of wrongdoing. 

Even when we do good deeds, they are still meritorious acts tainted by afflictions. At the time of death, everything one has done throughout one's life manifests all at once. 

人有界限:不殺生食肉造罪,就不能生存;生存的本身,就是罪惡的種子。 雖也行善,亦是有漏之善。臨終之時,一生所作,一時俱現。

Whenever a man looks at a woman raising a thought of lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his mind.

凡見婦女就動淫念的,這人心裏已經與她犯姦淫了。

Driven by boundless craving and desire, people pursue fleeting moments of pleasure and, in doing so, commit countless offenses. Yet, they are unwilling to seek the eternal and lasting bliss that is available to them. Such are the ways of the foolish and deluded. 

依無限之愛慾,追求剎那之快樂,而造種種無量罪惡,卻不願永遠之安樂,愚癡之人也。

The root of suffering lies in the accumulation of and entanglement in afflictions. But, how can these accumulated afflictions be eradicated and stopped from being repeated ? 

苦之根本者,是煩惱之結集。然此結集之煩惱,如何能得除滅。

慧淨法師之「人生之實相」

Old age, illness, and death are sufferings of the body. 

Parting from those we love and similar experiences are sufferings of the mind. The Five Aggregates are the root of suffering. 

The suffering of separation from loved ones is painful, but not the greatest suffering. When death comes, one must even part from one’s own body—this is the greatest suffering. 

The root of suffering is death. 

Death is the fundamental source of anguish and unease. 

老病死是身苦。愛別離等是心苦。五蘊是苦根。 

愛別離苦,不甚苦;死時連自己的身體也要離開,才是最大之苦。 

苦的根源是死。死,是苦惱不安的根源。

Human life is suffering; the sea of suffering is boundless. 

This is the starting point of Buddhism. 

But from where, ultimately, do these sufferings and afflictions arise?

人生是苦,苦海無邊。此是佛教之出發點。然此苦惱,究竟從何處發生。

The Four Noble Truths: suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. 

The three realms are never separate from suffering and affliction—like floating clouds, like dreams and illusions, like bubbles in water. 

苦集滅道。三界唯是苦惱,如浮雲,如夢幻,如水泡。

I am the foremost among sinners. Those of the last age, whether monastic or lay, should carefully reflect upon their own conditions. 

我是罪人之首。末代道俗,善能思量己分。

For sinful ordinary beings, wishing to escape Saṃsara in this life by relying on self-power, is like trying to wash off oil with oil—it is simply impossible. 

罪惡凡夫,今生欲靠自力出離,如油洗油,無有是理。

Like a stone must sink when placed in water—this is its inherent nature. Likewise, we beings are bound to fall due to our own nature ; we are destined for the hells. 

如石必沈是其自性。我人必墮是自性,必定地獄。
