【Mindfulness of Death】- Why is the sin of slandering the Dharma terrifying

This is why it was stated clearly in the Lotus Sutra: When Buddha was born, he used various ways to guide sentient beings. Be it that the person recites the name of the Buddha or made a bow to the Buddha’s statue, he is capable of attaining Buddhahood. Therefore, Buddha used many avenues to attract and guide him. Of course the same goes for the great teachings. If you repudiate the teachings, does it mean that the Buddha is inferior to you? Ten Cakras of Ksitigarba, Mahayana Great Collection Sutra《地藏十轮经》also stated very clearly that the Buddha used different methods to guide different types of sentient beings and for every teaching that Buddha gave, while accumulating the collections of merits, it was by giving his life, eyes, brains and marrows. Consequently, after receiving them, as he was giving his teaching, you simply went over and said: this is not according to the teachings, that is not according to the teachings. This is equivalent to you throwing a priceless treasure into the furnace! We tend to have this fault. Are you able to pay a price for it? Ah, putting compensation aside, this thing, this thing about Dharma, the moment you slander it, it is extremely terrifying.

念死无常 : 为何谤法罪业深重？

所以《妙法莲华经》上面说得很清楚：嗯，佛出世用种种方法引导众生—哪怕这个人念一声佛，看见佛像低一个头，他都可以成佛道。所以他用种种方式去吸引、接引他，当然大法也是如此。那你现在就随便谤它，那佛不如你呀？然后《地藏十轮经》上也说得很清楚，接引不同众生，佛说不同的法，而佛说的每一种法，他在集聚资粮的时候，都是舍头目脑髓得来的。结果得来了以后，传那个法的时候，你就跑得去说：这个不如法，那个不如法！也等于说人家的无价之宝拿到你手上的话，你把它一把丢在火炉里面烧掉了。我们就是犯这种毛病，你赔得起吗？啊，我们不要说这种东西赔不起哦！这东西啊，佛法这个东西，你一旦对它毁谤了，这个可怕极了。
