Another piece by Master Venerable Guang Qin
我們這個人身,實在是很寶貴的,也是不容易得的,我們說人生人,狗生狗,各有其類,但是,不論是生人或生狗,均是我們這靈靈覺覺、不生不滅的靈性在轉變的。我們這個心所行的,是佛菩薩的行徑,將來就在佛菩薩的境地,心行所做的是貪婪、是愚癡、是嗔恚,以後就是三惡道的一份子,甚至昆蟲類、空中飄浮的微細眾生類,均是經由我們這人身,不同的心行作為而轉化的。十法界中一切的眾生,無一不是經由我們這人身而轉化,我們這人身並不是那麼輕易過的,事實上,我們是在過這個人身劫。
Our human body is very valuable, and it is not easy to come by,
we say that human gives birth to human, dog gives birth to dog, and
all have their own category. However, whether birth of human or
birth of dog, these impermanent birth actually arises from one's
eternal immutable self. Our pure mind that conducts the route of
Buddha and Bodhisavattas, the future body form would be in the
realm of Buddha and Bodhisavattas. On the other hand, our pure mind
arises greed, ignorance, anger and hatred, it will become member of
the 3 lower realms, even becoming insects, and those tiny floating
creatures in the atmosphere are due to this body form that arises
discriminative mind that created this transformation. Essentially,
all beings in the ten dharma realms are fundamentally transformed
through our personal body form. Living through this human life is
not so easy, in fact, we are going through this human era.
