佛法的思向 26 A Guide to Buddhist Thoughts 26

佛陀所提到的愚痴,重點在於自我的完全解脫。不講「原罪」,不強調「道德」,亦即在真相上做真實的體認。如是對人的瞋恨與歡喜當有超然的看法與內涵,如無法正視人本身有愚痴相(即內心一種完全我的存在,塞滿了無法思考)你宣說什麼,都祇是丟給眾生一條繩子綁他們痛苦不堪。

Buddha's talk of foolish ignorance is about liberation. Buddha did not talk about "Original Sin" and did not emphasize "Morality". He experienced the Truth in the reality. So he had a superior understanding of human emotions such as anger, hate and joy. If you do not face the foolish ignorance (A mind that is filled with "I" that limits reasoning) in people, whatever you said to them will just tie them up so that they suffer without end.

通過愚痴相後,到達真正的「無我」誰跟誰的關係,都是真正的自由的平等的。

One you have pasted foolish ignorance and really reached anattā, you will see that all relationships between people are free and equal.

為什麼佛教不講「罪」?原因在於覺得這樣沒有辦法解決人類根本的問題。佛陀所宣說的一切法門,都重解脫,換句話說,希望你一直前進。講罪祇會牽絆一個人,讓人打從心裏,抬不起頭來。這樣說是不是抹殺人本身會犯錯的機率?絕非如此。佛陀是要你具慚愧心,承認錯誤,真心懺悔,全力重生。

Why doesn't Buddhism talk about "Sin"? Because talking about "Sin" cannot solve the fundamental problem of humanity. Everything Buddha taught put great emphasis on "Liberation", hoping that you keep moving forward. Talk of "Sin" will only tie a person down so that he can never lift his head up. But this cannot remove any chance of making mistakes. Buddha wanted you to repent, admit mistakes and do everything you can to reborn.

其實佛教宏揚到最後,所宣說的,大多已是後代高僧的說法(大乘佛教)。佛陀的說法反而未見宏揚(至少在中國、日本、韓國都是如此)。

Actually, at this moment, most of the Buddhism that are taught today is all the teaching of Dharma masters that came after Buddha (Mahāyāna Buddhism). The original teaching of Buddha has not been carried forward. (At least in China, Japan and Korea.)

原因只有一個,百分之九十九的人,都無法依靠自己的心靈、思想而活。 而佛陀正是宣說自由意志、智慧的人。

There is only one reason why this is the case, 99% of the people cannot rely on their own heart and mind. But Buddha is a person that declared freedom of will and wisdom.
