20/12/2021 Daily Enlightenment - 日日觉

The Buddha said:

-A large tree with a mighty trunk, branches, leaves, firm roots, and bearing fruits, is a support for many birds.

-Having flown across the sky, the birds resort to this delightful base;

-Those in need of shade take cover in its shade; those needing fruit enjoy its fruit.

-Just so, when a person is virtuous, endowed with faith, of humble manner, compliant, gentle, welcoming, soft, those who are fields of merit – devoid of lust and hatred, devoid of delusion, taintless – resort to such a person.

-They teach him the Dharma that eradicate all suffering, having realised which the taintless one here attains nirvana.

The Tripitaka

同修们, 今天的 日日觉 :

佛云:

- 一棵大树有着强壮的树干,枝叶茂密,根系结实,果实茂盛,是许多鸟类的支撑。

- 在天空飞行的鸟儿们,来到这个庆幸的栖身之所;

- 需要遮荫的掩护在树阴里,需要果实的享受它的果实。

- 如此,一位贤者,具足信心,态度谦虚,合规,温和,接纳他人,柔软,

那些福田之人 –空了淫欲与憎恨, 空了妄念,无垢 - 将栖身于如此的人。

- 他们为他而教导除去痛苦的佛法,了知的无垢者在此得涅槃。
