醒愚 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體 幾人命途得作主?卻信一死便自由。 跋 每見自盡者遺言,謂生前不如意,一死以求解脫或遂願。例如,殉情者願死後得在一起。其實,凡夫在輪迴中,生死遭遇皆為宿業所引領及牽制,豈是一死便得自主。因此,死後馬上各奔前程,而不得遂願。願喚醒於此未曾深思者,勿輕舉妄為,而致力於尋求可達真正解脫之佛法。 一九九八年九月十六日 Awake the Ignorant Yutang Lin How many people can decide the course of their lives? Comments: It is often seen in suicide notes that the goal is to attain emancipation or fulfill some wishes. For example, lovers died together so that they would stay together. In fact, for ordinary people in transmigration their birth, death and course of life are all led and restrained by their karma. How could it be that once dead they would attain self-determination? Therefore, once dead, the lovers would immediately go their separate ways, and could not stay together as they wished. May all those who have not thought of all such undesirable consequences refrain from rash actions, and instead devote their efforts toward learning and practicing the Dharma to attain true liberation from suffering.
