Nowadays many people believe in Buddhism, however not many of them are diligent. Many took refuge but then they disappeared. They might have the thought that ‘Having taken refuge, I’m now a Buddhist!’ Some may go to temple to worship Buddha once in a year; some may carry a Buddha bead and think this is practicing Buddhism; some maybe good at talking and discuss about emptiness and let go. In fact these people don’t have the viewpoint of emptiness and are unable to let go anyting. All I feel is these people don’t have sufficient merits.
現在信佛的人很多,但是,精進修行佛法的人很少。很多人來皈依后就走了,認為“我皈依佛門是佛門弟子了”,可能一年才去寺廟燒香拜佛一次;有些人,手裡拿著一串佛珠就認為這是學佛了;有些人特別會講,高談一些空性,放下之類的話,實際上他根本沒有空性觀,也做不到放下我覺得這些人福報太淺薄了。
