2018/12/7 日常師父法語

◎發願希望諸佛菩薩加持我，把我一切的罪障通通淨除掉，那麼，一切的罪障從那裡開始啊？從不恭敬善知識開始。為什麼從這個地方開始？因為修學佛法的根本，先要依止善知識；你如果說有不恭敬善知識的話，對不起，你根本在什麼地方你沒摸到。你遇不到善知識，絕無可能修學佛法，這一點我們要了解，所以第一個要除掉。最後你要達到的目的是什麼呢？要徹底的淨除我法二種障礙。所以乃至於，換句話說，從最開始一直到最後的二種執著的相，徹底的消除掉，這個是淨除違緣。【日常師父法語】

I pray for the assistance of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to eradicate all my sins. Then what is the origins of all such sins? It comes from the disrespect for the guru. Why disrespect? It is because the root of Buddhist learning has to be the reliance on the guru. If you have any disrespect, sorry, you know nothing about learning. Without your guru, there is no way you can learn Buddha Dharma, which we definitely have to understand. Therefore, disrespect is the first thing we have to eradicate. What about your ultimate purpose? You have to thoroughly remove two obstacles: attachment to yourself and attachment to phenomena. In other words, from the very beginning to the end, the two attachments is the obstacles that we have to remove.  – Master Jih Chang
