[師父法語] 2019/6/18

◎法是佛母，諸佛沒有一個例外，都是從佛法，聽聞佛法，照著佛法行持，從法出生的，所以我們對於法，要無比的恭敬。講法的人或有高下，法卻是諸佛的教誡，要辨別清楚。法有大小、顯密、性相的差別，應機的不同，圓滿一樣，每一個各有它特別的適應性，千萬不要妄加是非。【日常師父法語】

The Dharma is the mother of all Buddhas, and there is no exception. They all come from the Dharma, listen to the Dharma, act in accordance with the Dharma, and rise from the Dharma. Therefore, we must have immeasurable respect for the Dharma. The achievement of Dharma preachers can be high or low. Yet the Dharma is the teaching of all Buddhas so we must discern clearly. There are differences in Dharmas like Mahayana and Theravada, Exoteric and Esoteric teachings and among all characteristics. They are associated with different things, but the perfection and completeness are the same. Each kind has its own specific adaptation, and we must not make presumptuous comments out of ignorance. – Master Jih Chang
