卍 懺悔與寬恕 Repentance and Forgiveness
Bhikshuni Heng Jiao’s talk on May 10 (Tuesday evening) in the CTTB Buddha Hall
師父上人、各位法師、各位佛友:阿彌陀佛!這裡是恆教,今天和大家結法緣。今天要跟大家談的還是有關懺悔法門。 Venerable Master, Dharma Masters, and Buddhist friends: Amitabha! This is Heng Jiao, and would like to tie dharma affinity with everyone here. Today, I would like to talk about the Repentance of Dharma method.
尋過、思過、悔過,是學習懺悔法門的第一步。循著懺儀找尋自己的過錯,悔過之後更是要改過。所謂凡夫聞過、君子寡過、聖人無過;一般人只知道有過失而不能真正地改過。君子因為能改過才能寡過;不過聞過甚至改過,都還是不是聖地,惟有聖人的境界才能無過。
Finding faults, recognizing faults and repenting of one’s faults are the steps of learning the Repentance of Dharma method. By following the text of repentance, we may find our own faults, after repent of our faults, and then we have to change our faults.
There is a saying, ordinary people only hear about their mistakes, the superior people make only few mistakes, and the sages have no mistake. Ordinary people can only hear about their faults but they don’t correct themselves honestly. Because superior people are able to correct themselves, so they can make only few mistakes. However, hearing about mistakes and making few mistakes are not yet the stage of sagehood yet. The sagehood requires no mistake.
