【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Truly want to benefit yourself 真正为自己好

【The Three Types of Persons】- Truly want to benefit yourself

Now when we engage in any karmic deeds, if you truly want to benefit yourself, very sorry, with just one person alone the benefit will not arise, that is how it works. When we are in a group, and you sincerely try to benefit the people around you, what you get in return from others usually will exceed what you have given, this is what you should carefully examine. Let’s not talk about the future, let’s look at the past. What is the purpose to achieve Buddhahood? That is to eradicate all previous karmic obstacles. How did all these karmic obstacles form? They arose from interpersonal relationships. Today, our karmic obstacles are never created on our own; can you purify your karmic obstacles all by yourself? May I ask, can you do it alone? Isn’t this concept very clear? So to completely eradicate our own karmic obstacles, you have to remove those links related to your karmic obstacles. For this, we don’t need an in-depth discussion of benefiting others. We just need to understand that, in order to motivate ourselves to genuinely benefit the self, it has to start from benefiting others!

道次引导 :真正为自己好

现在我们造任何的业，你要想真正为你自己好的话，对不起，一个人好不起来的，这样。当我们在一个团体当中，你真的为旁边、真正为他一点，他这个还报往往会远超过我们，这个你们要好好地体验。我们现在不必说以后，说以前的，成佛是干什么？说把以前的业障要消除掉。以前业障怎么造起来的？就跟人家人与人之间相处。今天造业障决不可能单独，你要净化你的业障你就能单独了吗？你就能单独了吗，请问？不是很明白的道理吗？所以要圆满把自己的业障消除的话，同样地圆满要把跟你造业障相关的那个都要解除。这一点我们不深谈说这个利他，就是为了策发我们了解说我真正要自利，还非从利他方面下手不可！
