如何給高級知識分子宣傳佛法？

問：作為高級知識分子，明白佛法不離世間法，很想把佛法融入生活和工作中，讓其他同事領略到佛法帶給人類的快樂。但身邊絕大部分人認為佛教是迷信，我一直想度周圍的同事們，但是收效甚微，請問，如何給高級知識分子宣傳佛法？

答：知識和智慧是不一樣的，有知識不一定有智慧。甚至，所謂的知識，有時候會變成產生智慧的障礙。所以，有知識的人不一定有智慧。有福不一定有德，同樣的道理。有了智慧，才能解決生活中、工作中這些所有的問題。

我講過，其實佛法是一種快樂的活法，有佛法就可以輕鬆自在地活著。佛法不是迷信，真正的佛法是智慧，佛教也反對迷信，信佛來自明理，明理然後產生信心，這才是正確的。佛教里講，明理很重要，眾生明理了就有智慧了，然後就不煩惱了，也就不痛苦了。

對知識分子是很難說服的。但是機緣到了，也能明白，也能接受。一旦接受了、明白了，來的也特別快。信佛學佛是要靠緣分的，不是要靠文憑的。信佛學佛是要靠福報的，不是要靠什麼勢力權力這些。所以慢慢來，有這個福報，有這個緣分，自然就會接受，自然就會明白。也許現在這個緣分還沒到，這個福報還沒到，所以就這樣了。

我們是要幫助所有的人，要度化所有的人，但是這個也是要等機緣，不能著急。我們這個傳播佛法也好，介紹佛法也好，這是應當的。作為佛子，作為修行人。但是對方能不能接受，能不能真正利益對方，這還是要看對方的緣分和福報，這都慢慢來。

Question: Being a highly educated person, I know Buddhism cannot be separated from worldly concerns. I want to integrate Dharma into my life and work, and let my colleagues enjoy the happiness that Buddhism brings to human beings. However, most of the people around me consider Buddhism is superstition, I would like to convert my colleagues but it was with very little effect. I』d like to ask how to spread Dharma to the high-educated people?

Guru answers: Knowledge is different from wisdom, possessing knowledge does not necessarily mean possessing wisdom. Even the so called knowledge can be the obstacle of generating wisdom. Therefore, the knowledgeable person doesn』t necessarily have wisdom. For the same reason, having fortunes doesn』t mean having virtues. With wisdom, all the problems from life or work can be resolved.

I have said that Buddhism was actually a happy way of living, you can live a relaxed and free life with Dharma. Dharma is not superstition. The authentic Dharma is wisdom. Buddhism also opposes superstition. The faith in Buddhism is from the understanding of truths, after then the faith in Buddhism will generate, which is the right way. In Buddhism, understanding the truths is crucial. After understanding the truths, the beings will have wisdom and then they won』t worry and suffer.

It is hard to persuade intellectuals. However, they will understand and accept when the karma matures. It will be very fast once they accept and understand Buddhism. Believing in Buddhism and learning Dharma depends on the karma rather than the diploma. Believing in Buddhism and learning Dharma depends on the merits rather than the power and influence. Therefore, take it easy, they will accept and understand automatically when they have such merit and karma. It may be because their karma or merit isn』t mature, so it』s such way.

We should help and save all people. But we also need to wait for the right condition with patience. Spreading or introducing Buddhism is what we should do as a Buddhist and practitioner. However, whether they accept or get benefit depends on their own karma and merit, so do it gradually.

無論是風裡，還是在雨里，我都在這裡守候著你～
