真如老師講所有的煩惱當中，你最先要懺悔的是，對自己善知識的不信… 就算你從出生到現在，沒有造任何惡業，沒犯戒、慈心不殺、君子，你要問一下：我對善知識的信心有很圓滿嗎？我視師如佛是不是真的一點都不打折口，我是不是在剛剛那些例子的境界裡面，我都可以察覺到自己的不信的習氣呢？如果都不是的話，我們還有很多要懺悔的。 ——如俊法師《月光共學》

Master Jenru told us that among all afflictions, the very first one you have to confess is your disbelief for the guru. Supposed you have never, which is very unlikely, created any evil karma, never violated any percept, never harmed any life, and have been a noble man, ask yourself: Is your confidence on the guru perfect and complete? Is your seeing the guru as Buddha really flawless. When facing the circumstances mentioned above, are you aware of your own impression of disbelief? If the answer to all these questions is “no”, we still have a long way to go. – Ven. Ru-juen 《Moonlight Collaborative Learning》

當我們的習氣，尤其是惡業習氣，養成習慣之後，我們就一直在那個很強的續流當中。因為養成習慣，所以你沒感覺，但是不代表你沒有很強的習氣。 ——如俊法師《月光共學》

When karmic impressions, especially those of evil karma, become our habits, we have been in the strong continuum of mind. Since such habits have been developed, you get used to them. Yet it doesn’t follow that you are not under the effect of habitual behaviors. – Ven. Ru-juen 《Moonlight Collaborative Learning》

所謂的修行、所謂的淨化，或是說「欲往從所未經之地」，跟善法跟佛法相應的，一個特徵是什麼？向內觀察、向內調伏，這個也是惡道眾生、甚至是輪迴裡的善趣眾生，最不會做的事情。可是不向內觀察、不向內調伏，不觀察自己的身語意的造業狀態，我們就很難造那種，改善自己生命的業。所以惡業習氣的大概的特徵是這樣，那從這個角度來講的話，憑感受、以感受為主，然後不向內觀察、不向內調伏，是我們很重的習性，這就是「無間從惡趣來」的證明 ——如俊法師《月光共學》

What is the feature of the so-called cultivation or purification, “traveling to a place where we have never been”, or whatever is associated with wholesome phenomena or the Buddha Dharma? The answer is inward observation and discipline. The things are the least likely done by all beings in miserable realms or even the beings transmigrating among three higher realms. However, without inward observation and discipline – namely not observing the karmas created by our own bodies, speeches, and thoughts, we could hardly create the karmas that improve our lives. Thus the general impressions of evil karmas is like this. From this perspective, it is our habitual behavior to judge mainly with sensuous feelings instead of inward observation and discipline. This is the exact proof of our “having just been reborn from a miserable realm”. – Ven. Ru-juen 《Moonlight Collaborative Learning》

[月光共學] 2019/1/10 修行人的水洗火燒-2
《入行論》講的：「猶于烏雲暗夜中，剎那閃電極明亮，如是因佛威德力，世人暫萌修福意。」
無限生命當中，像現在這樣得到很珍貴的人身可以修行，可以淨罪集資、可以拜懺、這個時光是非常珍貴的。好像很漫長的黑夜當中，閃電這麼閃一下，那個短暫的一剎那而已。所以事實上要好好珍惜自己這一生，可以學習、可以修行、可以依止師長、好好學習修行，有機會可以好好修懺悔的話，其實不要放鬆，這個很重要 ——如俊法師《月光共學》

《A Guide To the Bodhisattva Way Of Life》 says: “Just as lightning illuminates the darkness of a cloudy night for an instant, in the same way, by the power of the Buddha, occasionally people's minds are momentarily inclined toward merit.”
In our infinite lives, it is very precious to obtain such treasurable life time of human to cultivate the dharma, to get rid of guilt and nourish the accumulation, and to worship and make confession. It is just like the instant when lightning illuminates the endless darkness. In fact, we should cherish our life time when we can study, practice, rely on the guru, and cultivate the dharma. As long as we have any chance to cultivate the repentance, just do not let go. This really matters. – Ven. Ru-juen 《Moonlight Collaborative Learning》

[月光共學] 2019/1/10 修行人的水洗火燒
《菩提道次第廣論》還有師父跟真如老師，他們都很強調這個概念，就是說我們修行人要常常做的事情是：常常地水洗火燒 -- 就是你不但要火燒、你也要水洗；你不但要水洗、也要火燒，「水洗」是什麼意思，要常常看到修學佛法的好處，體會到修學佛法的勝利，這可以振奮激勵我們修行人繼續努力走，對不對？「火燒」的意思就是，你要常常看到無常、苦、惡業的過患，也是一樣激勵我們修行人不能懈怠，也是一樣要拼命努力 ——如俊法師《月光共學》

Not only in 《Lamrim》 but also by Late Master and Master Jenru was this concept emphasized. That is, what practitioners like us usually have to do is “to wash with water and burn with fire.” I mean, you should both burn and wash, and both wash and burn. “To wash with water” means to see and experience the benefits in cultivating the Buddha Dharma, which can inspire us practitioners to keep going, isn’t it? “To burn with fire” means to see the faults of impermanence, hardships, and evil karmas. Likewise, it also inspires us to stay away from indolence and to strive toward our goals. – Ven. Ru-juen 《Moonlight Collaborative Learning》

《入行論》云：「有情與諸佛，同能生佛法，如其敬信佛，何不敬有情。」
祖師 佛菩薩，他們一定是把眾生放在自己的心上，像獨一愛子一樣。所以《入行論》裡面也會說：「眾樂佛歡喜，眾苦佛傷悲」意思就是說，其實你真正憶念你的師長，你真正憶念佛陀的時候，你就要憶念起，他們把一切眾生是唯獨一愛子的心。所以憶念起自己的師長，跟憶念起自己的師長所關愛的一切眾生，這是可以同時成立的。 ——如俊法師《月光共學》
《A Guide To the Bodhisattva Way Of Life》 says: “As the attainment of the Buddhas qualities is equally due to sentient beings and the Jinas, how is it that I do not respect sentient beings as I do the Jinas?”
As for patriarchs, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they definitely keep in mind all sentient beings, just like cherishing their only sons. Thus 《A Guide To the Bodhisattva Way Of Life》 also says: “Because of their happiness the Conquerors are delighted, but if they are harmed they are displeased.” This means: If you do remember your guru and the Buddha, you have to remember their mentalities to see all sentient beings as their only sons. Therefore, you should concurrently remember your guru and all sentient beings he cares about. – Ven. Ru-juen 《Moonlight Collaborative Learning》
