Quotes from Master Chin Kung and his teacher Master 李炳南 (forgive
my poor translation)
“不妄语、不两舌、不绮语、不恶口”,要做到才叫学佛。做不到,天天在念、天天在讲,这就是消遣佛法、玩弄佛法,有罪过
If one is able to practise the five precepts in his daily life,
this is what I call "belief". Many people talk about/discuss dharma
to entertain themselves (playing with Dharma). This is bad
karma.
今天社会为什么这么乱?李炳南老居士说得好,社会上好人太多了。我们听了不懂,好人多不是好事吗?他后头加了一句话,‘好人好事’(‘好事’的‘好’念去声,喜欢之意)。每个人都好事,都抢着做好事,麻烦大了!
Why we do not have peace today? 李炳南老居士 said this is due to we
have too many people who deliberately commit good deeds in
expectation of merits.
真正的好事,佛教给我们随缘而不攀缘,永远保持心地清净平等。清净、平等、慈悲心,你做的事样样都是好事,真正的好事。如果心不清净、不平等、不慈悲,对喜欢的人就慈悲,对不喜欢的人就没有一点慈悲,这个慈悲不是真的,这是佛家讲的‘爱缘慈悲’,这样做好事,不是真正的好事。
