文/聖尊蓮生活佛
我向諸神默禱。尤其我待人的原則是：小人亦有好處，不可惡其人，並沒其是。
君子亦有過錯，不可好其人，並飾其非。
我自己深深覺得，我走遍天下，參拜的寺廟觀堂甚多，修道的人，要不為外境所束縛，
不能因為環境問題而退了道心，要收拾精神，併歸一路。不能因為寺廟藏污納垢，便指責佛道的不是。
一個人若因寺廟的藏污納垢，便指責佛道的不是，這是思慮不夠深遠的緣故，在修行之途，必無實詣。
修行人的目地，是涵養內明，修的是自己的內心，使內心放大光明照世間，內心自有寺廟，自心是佛，自心是菩薩。
如果修行人，專注於寺廟產權，偏重於事功名譽，營利收入等等，必然得不到真正的開悟啊！
A practitioner's goal is well mannered and bright inside, cultivating one's own Heart, so as to shine brightly on sentient world, Heart has temple, heart is Buddha, heart is Boddhisattva.
If a practitioner only concentrate on temple's property rights, weighting heavily on fame/credit for all matters, profit and income & etc, he definitely cannot attain true enlightenment!
This is a timely article that I chance upon from Facebook.
GM, you are indeed GREAT! Haha!
At a meeting of temple's committee one afternoon. General matters like temple building and activities were the subjects.
Z said: Can we plan some outdoor activities like Live animals release or visits to charity homes or orphanages?
Y said immediately: HOW MUCH CAN WE MAKE?
I remember saying that when TIME IS RIPE, a temple gets build with the help of all Divinities - reason being this place can reach out to more sentient beings and help lighten or lift their sufferings and share Dharma with them.
Will this temple get build? I leave you the reader to answer this question.
My point is observe and analyse. Some friends email you and said, so & so needs fund to build a temple for himself. You rushed around and spread words & canvas for funds to support.
What's the HURRY?
For us in TBS, there's GM who will look into the relevance of all matters and act accordingly.
Trust GM 100%!
Haha!
