Understanding Buddhism 认识佛教

by Venerable Master Chin Kung

Buddhism is the most perfect and complete education ever taught by Shakyamuni Buddha for all beings in the nine Dharma Realms.
        
In his 49 years of teaching of sutras, the contents which Shakyamuni Buddha taught and explained were about the truth of the "Universe and Life". "Life" denotes us while "Universe" denotes our living environment.

Those who are awakened are called Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and those who are not awakened are called ordinary people.

Practising is to rectify all our incorrect views, perceptions, speeches and actions in terms of the Universe and Life.

The objectives of practising Buddhism are to become awakened, not confused; have proper views and understanding, and not be deluded or ignorant; have a pure mind, not a polluted one. We can reach these goals by practising "The Three Learnings".

The foundation of practising relies on "The Three Conditions". Interacting with others and dealing with objects and issues, we rely on "The Six Principles of Harmony" and "The Six Paramitas". Focusing our mind to return to the Pure Land, we rely on "The Ten Vows of Universal Worthy Bodhisattva". The teachings of the Buddha are thus complete.


认识佛教

佛教是佛陀对九法界众生至善圆满的教育。

释迦四十九年所说的一切经，内容就是说明宇宙人生的真相。人生就是自己，宇宙就是我们的生活环境。

知觉名佛菩萨，不觉名凡夫。

修行就是将我们对宇宙人生错误的看法、想法、说法、做法，加以修正。

佛教的修行纲领是觉正净。觉而不迷，正而不邪，净而不染。并依戒定慧三学，以求达到此目标。

修学的基础是三福，待人依六和，处世修六度，遵普贤愿，归心净土。佛之教化能事毕矣。
