傷害他人，就斷不了自己的煩惱

皈依佛法以後，不能惱害眾生。佛法本身是饒益眾生的，如果惱害了眾生，就違背了佛法，包括對自己的家人也一樣。你不能為了修行、為了念佛而惱害他們，一定要照顧好他們。他們高興了，滿意了，這就是饒益眾生，這就是佛法！如果你在家裡，一進佛堂，把門一關，什麼也不顧，家務也不做，孩子也不管，先生下班回來也沒飯吃，讓他們傷心，讓他們煩惱，讓他們痛苦，這不是惱害眾生了嗎？

After taking refuge in Buddhism, one is not allowed to hurt sentient beings. Buddhism itself is to benefit sentient beings. If one hurts them, including his family, it is against Buddhism. You must not hurt them for the purpose of practice or chanting the Buddha』s name, but take care of them instead. Making them happy and satisfied is benefiting sentient beings and practicing Dharma. If you just lock yourself in the Buddhist prayer room at home, ignore both the housework and your kids, and don』t cook the dinner for significant others, leaving them sad and upset, isn』t it hurting all beings?

有的家庭，太太或者先生信佛了，然後家也不像個家，人也不像個人了，家也沒有歡樂的氣氛了，人也總是悶悶不樂的。這樣學佛念佛沒有任何功德。這樣做已經違背了佛法，所修的根本不是正法而是邪法。這樣念佛，這樣修行，不能解脫成佛，也別想往生。那我們應該怎樣做？把事情都做好，不管是大事小事，不管是家裡事還是家外的事，都處理得條理分明，井然有序，整齊乾淨，讓他們高興、滿意，讓家庭幸福起來，讓家人快樂起來，這就是信佛，這就是學佛，這就是念佛。這樣才能了緣了債。

In some families, after the wife or the husband began to learn Buddhism, the home is no longer like a home, and the person is no longer like him or her; the family is no longer a happy one, and the person is no longer a delighted one. Learning Buddhism in this way will not bring any merit. Their behavior has gone against Buddhism, and what they learned is not the Dharma but evil teachings. Learning and practicing this way will get you to neither liberation nor the Pure Land. Then what should we do? Do all things well, whether big or small, at home or outside, and perform everything orderly and tidily, making the family satisfied and happy. This is believing in Buddhism, learning Buddhism and chanting the Buddha』s name. And only in this way can you end the karma and pay off the debts.

法本身是饒益眾生的，是不惱害眾生的。讓眾生高興，這叫行善；讓父母高興，這叫孝順。如果總是讓父母傷心，煩惱痛苦，然後偶爾給他們買點東西，送點禮物，這樣做沒有任何意義，也不叫孝順。你的愛人、兒女、親朋好友，是與你最有緣分的眾生，是最需要你關心、照顧的眾生。為他們付出，讓他們高興，這就是善事，這就是修法。

Dharma itself is to benefit sentient beings and not to hurt beings. Making all beings happy is doing good; making parents happy is performing piety. If you always make your parents sad and upset, then buy something or send some presents to them occasionally, which is meaningless, and is not piety. Your husband or wife, children, relatives and friends are the beings with the strongest karmic connection with you, and the beings that need your care most. Make an effort for them and make them happy, which is performing the good deeds and practicing.

所以皈依佛法以後，不能再惱害眾生，不能傷害眾生，連這個念頭都不能有。雖然我們暫時還做不到，但是要盡心儘力做，逐漸做，慢慢做，以後必須要做到，這樣才能把佛法融入到自己的相續中。

So after taking refuge in Buddhism, never upset or hurt others, and don』t even have the idea. Though we can』t make it temporarily, yet we should try our best so that little by little you must make it finally. Only in that way can we integrate Buddhism into our continuity of mind.

無論在哪裡，無論面對何種對境，都不能惱害眾生。如果你惱害眾生了，你念佛、誦經、持咒再多，其他的功德做得再多，這也是表面上的。實際上，你的相續已經脫離了佛法，這樣你無論做什麼都沒有用，無法斷除煩惱，也改變不了自己的習氣。現在有很多這樣的情況，很多人雖然念佛念了很多年，學佛修行了很多年，但是沒有一點點的改變，沒有一點點的進步，煩惱依舊、痛苦依舊，習氣個性依然是那麼惡劣，那麼頑固。這樣學佛沒有意義！你自己不轉變，周圍就不會改變。

Wherever you are or whatever objects you are facing, never upset or hurt other beings. If you do so, no matter how many times you have chanted the Buddha』s name, chanted sutras or recited mantras, or how many merits you have accumulated, this is only facial. Actually, your continuity of mind has broken away from Buddhism, and in that case, whatever you do doesn』t work, and can』t cause you to get rid of afflictions and bad habits. Nowadays, there are many cases that some people who have learnt Buddhism and practiced many years haven』t made any progress, still with serious afflictions, sufferings and bad habits. Learning Buddhism that way is meaningless! If you don』t change yourself, your surroundings will not change, either.

你想修正別人，首先修正自己。自己改變了，一切都會改變。把自己錯誤的思想和行為改正了，一切都會好。把自己的心放平了，一切都會風平浪靜。把自己的心放正了，一切都會一帆風順，一切都會心想事成。這樣做，不會有任何的違緣與障礙，不會有任何的矛盾與衝突。

If you want to correct others, correct yourself first. Once you have changed yourself, all around you will also change. After you correct your false thoughts and behaviors, everything will be all right. Leave your heart calm, and all will be calm. Leave your heart right and all will be smooth. Doing it this way, you will not come into any unfavorable conditions and obstacles, or contradictories and conflicts.

不惱害眾生，這是皈依法以後，我們要護持的戒律。剛開始，讓我們一點點也不傷害眾生，連這個念頭都不能有，是很難的。但是慢慢改，盡心儘力做，總有一天會做到的。

Never hurt all beings, which is the precept we should observe after taking refuge in Dharma. It』s hard at the beginning not to hurt any being, or not even have a single thought of that, but little by little, try your best and you will make it one day.
