【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】use the teachings to berate others is an extremely big sin 以烦恼心喝斥别人是罪过

【Mindfulness of Death】- use the teachings to berate others is an extremely big sin

For those who truly want to practice, you should keep the words from the Great Elder in your mind and frequently use it to motivate yourself. But take note! The motivational words from Great Elder only apply to us. We definitely shouldn’t use it to berate others. When we use the words to berate others, it is completely wrong. The Great Elder told us that he has a principle: these people are already accomplished in their religious practice and are driven by compassion. The representation of compassion is just like a father whose love for his children is matchless. In order to make his children become useful someday, he will use a strict method at a point of time. Now when we berate others, it is not in this frame of mind. You should definitely be aware of the difference. Once you examine your frame of mind, the difference becomes clear and distinct. To simply mention it here: when your mental state is in accordance with afflictions and you use the teachings to berate others, you have created a big karma for yourself, an extremely big sin!

念死无常 : 以烦恼心喝斥别人是罪过

凡是这种祖师策励的话，这都是对我们自己说的，我们千万不要责备别人，拿这话责备别人就完全错了。祖师他告诉我们，他有一个原则，这些人已经修行成就了，他的悲心所使。悲心就像一个父亲一样，父亲对于自己的子女都是无比地疼爱，为了这个使得子女成材，所以那个时候，有的时候用一种严格的方法。我们现在喝斥别人的时候，不是这个心情，你千万注意，这个自己一检查，就很清楚、很明白。你跟烦恼相应的这种心理，用这个佛法来喝斥别人的话，对自己造的是很大的业，非常大的罪过！这里顺便一说。
