【Cultivation of Faith 修信 】seeds scorched by fire 种子被火烧焦了

【Cultivation of Faith】- seeds scorched by fire

[The Formulae of the Three Jewels' Blaze (Ratnolka- dhārasi) states:]

“Faith is like a jewel and a treasure.” It is the most superior treasure trove. To attain this treasure, we rely on our feet to get there, and then it becomes available. “Like hands, it is the basis of gathering virtue.” Once arrived there, you rely on your hands to fetch the treasure. All of this is quoted from this Sutra. We will just read over the paragraph below.

[Also the Ten Teaching Sūtra (Daśa-dharmaka-sūtra) states:

Faith is the best of vehicles,

Definitely delivering you into buddhahood. Therefore, persons of intelligence

Rely on the guidance of faith.]

A person truly endowed with wisdom would definitely apply accordingly. So our current state is due to our ignorance, our foolishness! Whereas we think we know a lot but, in fact, those who knows a lot are full of worldly intelligence that leads to arguments. What harms us is nothing but this!

[Virtues will not arise,

In people who have no faith,

Just as green sprouts do not grow

From seeds scorched by fire.]

If we do not have this [faith] within, what is it like? Well, sorry to say! Just like scorched seed, it will not sprout – nothing will grow!

修信 : 种子被火烧焦了

【《宝炬陀罗尼》云：“.....，信是最胜财藏足，摄善之本犹如手。”】

“信是最胜财藏足”，最胜财的库藏，以及我们要取得这个真正的财，跑得去的足，有了这个才可以。“摄善之本犹如手”，然后到了，你摄取这个，就像手一样。无非是引那个经。下面的我们把它念一遍就可以了。

【《十法》亦云：“由何出导师，信为最胜乘，是故具慧人，应随依于信。】

真正具有智慧的人，他一定会这样去做的。所以我们现在这样，正是我们愚痴啊，我们愚痴！我们还自己以为懂得很多咧，实际上这个懂得很多就是世智聪辩。害我们的不是别的，就是这个东西呀！

【诸不信心人，不生众白法，如种为火焦，岂生青苗芽。”】

如果我们心里面没有这个东西的话就像什么？嘿，对不起！就像那个种子被火烧焦了一样，长不出来的，长不出来的！
