Venerable Jing Yuan: Practice From The Heart (4) 净远法师: 修心小语 (四)

Practice From The Heart (4)

01
Harmonize yourself well to attain Buddhahood is a form of benefiting others. This is because such motivation gravitates towards Mahayana path, hence, the intention behind body, speech and mind gravitate towards Mahayana path. Our views, learning and thoughts produce merits and virtues. When we think about it, why would we be not happy? Why would we be not pleased?

02
The trait of virtuous friends of Mahayana path is that we gather to learn the teachings. When we gather, we do not gossip. We encourage and remind one another of the teachings. This is friendship among Buddhists.

03
The promise we make to our teachers, and to practise according to Buddhism teachings, will please Buddhas and Bodhisattvas extremely. Buddhas will protect and bless us in all that we do. If we practise according to the teachings, the positive karma we create will be strong. What is there to regret?

04
Changing one's destiny hinges on setting the right view at the moment.

修心小语 (四)

01
好好地调伏自己成就佛道，就是一种利他的行为。因为动机决定趣向大乘道，那么所有的身语意都趣向大乘道。自己的见闻念触都是能够产生功德的。想到这点，又怎能不高兴呢？又怎能不欢喜呢？

02
大乘善友的特质 —— 以法相聚。我们见面在一起，不是要谈论什么是非，就是用法来互相劝勉、提醒，这就是道友。

03
我们对善知识的承事、依教奉行，会令诸佛非常欢喜；而我们所作的事，也会有诸佛的呵护与加持。若如法而行，自己所造的业是非常扎实的，还有什么可后悔的呢？

04
改变命运就在当下一个念头的正确安立。
