🌈Suffering losses.  Blessings and rewards🌈【吃虧與福報】

By Dharma Master Shi Hui Jing ❣️文：慧淨法師❣️

☘️In the Analects of Confucius, the section on Yan Yuan there is this teaching:

☘️A humane man is more reserved in his words as he will subdue his mind before speaking.

☘️A gentleman will ponder over his words before they come out from his mouth.

Out of kindness he does not wish to harm others’ feelings.

☘️A kind man is careful with words for he feels it is very unkind to talk about the right and wrong of others, the good and bad of others.

☘️As such, such a good man will not fight with others over trivial matters as he is willing to take the loss.

❣️🌈A man who is genuinely willing to take a loss is surely a blessed and wise man. 🌈❣️

☘️A man who is too calculative in all matters reveals his lacking of blessings.

He is without wisdom.

☘️If we are willing to take a loss, it means we are given the free gifts of blessed rewards!

☘️Without these people who take advantage of us, where else do we have a chance to take a loss?

☘️If we are unwilling to take a loss,

☘️that we would like to fight and argue over who is right and who is wrong,

☘️who is reasonable who is unreasonable,

☘️this is truly pitiful because our blessings are gone!

☘️That is why, we should learn to take a loss in all matters, all situations.

☘️And by admitting our inability, we naturally will learn of our own mistakes.

☘️We will surely understand the love of Amitabha Buddha.

☘️We are willing to take a loss and do not bother to fight and argue with others.

☘️We will surely wish to sacrifice our own benefits for the good of others.

☘️We will learn to contribute to others in accordance with our ability, capability, as much as possible.

❤️《論語》〈顏淵篇〉有一句話：「仁者其言也訒」，

❤️一個君子對他所要講的話，要忍耐片刻，不可逞一時之快，

❤️要有所不忍心，

❤️一個人如果有惻隱之心，他會不忍講人家的是非好壞。

❤️從此之後，凡事就肯吃虧不計較，

💜🧡💖真正肯吃虧的人，他一定是有福報有智慧的.。💜🧡💖

❤️若凡事都要計較的人，表示他就是沒有福報，

❤️沒有智慧；

❤️肯吃虧的話，等於是人白白送福報來給我們，

❤️不然，我們要去那裡找虧吃？

❤️那如果不肯吃虧，一定要爭論出我對你錯，我有理你無理，

❤️那可惜了，福報就走了。

❤️所以，凡事都肯吃虧，

❤️而且在吃虧的當中，自自然然的感到自己的過失。

❤️當體會到彌陀的愛，就會肯吃虧不計較，

❣️也會有奉獻的精神，

❤️自己力之所及，做得到，自己就能夠犧牲奉獻。

❣️🌿感恩南无阿弥陀佛🌿❣️

The Buddha does not want us to become sad and unhappy people. .

佛不要我們做個憂慮的人💛

By Dharma Master Shi Hui Jing

文：释慧淨法師

💛🧡💮💛🧡💮💛🧡💮💛🧡💮💛

🧡The Buddha does not want us to become sad and unhappy people.

💛We must learn to be free without attachment.

🧡This is officially ordered by the Buddha.

💛In this edict, it encompasses the most wonderful blessings.

佛不要我們做個憂慮的人，

我們應當一無掛慮。

這是佛的敕命，

在這敕命裡，帶著奇妙的福分。

🧡Whether a man is happy or unhappy,

💛It greatly depends on how much love he has felt,

🧡Received from Amitabha Buddha.

💛The more love he receives from the Buddha,

🧡The lesser he will feel the frights and terror in him.

💛They are all eradicated.

🧡He will be enveloped in greater Joy and Bliss.

一個人快不快樂

就看他領受彌陀的愛有多少；

領受到的愛愈多，

恐懼就消得愈多，

而快樂也就愈多。

🌼🌿Namo Amitabha Buddha🌿🌼

🎈A man who has faith in the Buddha’s wisdom

🎈Is endowed with great good roots,

🎈Great blessings and virtues.

🎈He is a man with eyes and ears.

🎈A man who does not believe in the wisdom of the Buddha

🎈Is known as the deluded one.

🎈He has no good roots,

🎈No blessings and no virtues.

🎈He resembles the blind man, the deaf man.

🎈When he stops breathing, he would fall into the evil paths.

🎈The Buddha says : It is most pitiful!

💝Namo Amitabha Buddha💝

能信佛智，有大善根，大福德，

是有眼人，有耳人，

不信佛智，叫着愚者，

无善根，无福德，

是无眼人，无耳人、

一息不来，便堕恶道，

 佛说：可怜悯者！

文：：慧净法师

Bringing forth the Vows by Great Master Shandao. 

善导大师所作的「发愿文」

Explained by Venerable Master Shi Hui Jing

释慧净上人解释

🌸💜💮🧡🌿🌼🌸💜💮🧡🌿🌼🌸

This is the verse of bringing forth the Vows by Great Master Shandao.

We can recite them after reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha in the morning and evening services.

善导大师所作的「发愿文」可以在早晚课念佛后念一遍《回向偈》。

🌼May these merits and virtues be bestowed upon all living beings equally. 🌼

🌼May all bring forth the Bodhi Mind together, to attain a rebirth in the Land of Serenely Blissful.🌼

🌸愿以此功德，

🌸平等施一切，

🌸同发菩提心，

🌸往生安乐国。🌸💮🧡🌸💮🧡🌸💮🧡🌸💮🧡🌸

These verses of transference are the Transference of Merits by Amitabha Buddha.

May these merits and virtues be bestowed upon all living beings refer the kind Vows of Amitabha Buddha.

He transferred all his accumulated merits and virtues equally to all living beings in the ten directions.

🧡这首《回向偈》完全是弥陀回向。

🧡「愿以此功德」：是指弥陀的悲愿，以他所累积的功德。

🧡「平等施一切」：平等布施给十方一切众生。

‘May all bring forth the Bodhi mind together. ‘

The Bodhi mind here refers to the mind to accomplish Buddhahood.

The attainment of a rebirth enables one to accomplish Buddhahood.

So, the Vow to wish for a rebirth in the Pure Land is the Bodhi Mind in the Pure Land Dharma Door, no other Bodhi Mind is needed.

On listening to Amitabha Buddha’s rescue and we are willing to attain a rebirth,

That is our Bodhi Mind. Namo Amitabha Buddha

🧡同发菩提心，往生安乐国

🧡「同发菩提心」：「菩提心」就是成佛的心，

🧡而往生就能成佛，所以，愿往生净土的心，就是净土法门的菩提心。

🧡净土法门不必另外再去发菩提心，

🧡闻信弥陀救度、回心转意愿往生，这种心就是我们的菩提心。

‘Attaining a rebirth in the Land of Serenely Blissful. ‘

Reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha enables us to attain a rebirth in the World of Ultimate Bliss,

A Land which is peaceful, happy, with no transmigration.

That is a Blissful Land which is free from all sufferings.

So, it is called the Land of Serenely Blissful.

🧡「往生安乐国」：使我们往生到极乐世界去。

🧡极乐世界是个安稳、快乐、没有六道轮回、

🧡「无有众苦，但受诸乐」的国土，所以说是「安乐国」。
