【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Power of antidotes – Relying on the image -2
If you really have faith, as for how you treat the Buddha, it should be this way. Then as for how you treat people, as long as they wear this robe, no matter who they really are, oh, they are the Sangha community jewel! Even if they had done the five deeds of immediate retributions or the ten non-virtues, it would not matter to you. Those are the things that he has done! However, he still portrays an image that represents the pure insignia of the ten directions and the three worlds. That is when you can say you have faith. Yes! But this type of pure faith is held at a very high standard! I am using this type of standard to exhort us. The reason I brought this up is because we very easily give in to this pride and feel that we are right. The reason I wish to really...I am not purposely raising the standard. This is the actual standard from which we can use to recognize our own current qualifications so that we will strive to progress. This is what we should understand. "Teaching," what is teaching? We have explained this earlier, as soon as any point is brought up, we should use it to examine ourselves. "Oh! I am off by thousands of miles!" That is when you can say that you have faith. It should not be the case where I feel that I understand a little bit of teaching and I use this mirror to reveal how everyone else is demonic. That is when you are completely wrong, completely wrong. You will completely be a person who uses his worldly intelligence to out argue everyone else!

业果 : 对治力-依形象-2
如果你真的有信心，对佛是这样，然后你看见人，他只要这件衣服一被，不管他，他的内容什么样，喔，这个僧宝！哪怕他造五逆十恶，那没关系，那他造的事情，这个形象可是十方三世的清净幢相。那时候你有信心了，对！不过这种净信心很高喔！我拿这个做为标准策励我们，我所以提这样的话，我们动不动就犯了这个我慢心，自己觉得对了。我现在所以要把那个真正的—不是故意提高，这是真实的标准，让我们认识我们的条件，好让我们努力向上，这是我们要了解的。“法”，什么是法？前面刚说过了，你一提，马上校对自己，“哎呀，我差得十万八千里！”那个时候才算是有信心。不是说我懂得一点法，然后拿照妖镜到处照别人，那时你完全错了，完全错了，你完全世智聪辩哪！
