共业招感·素食致祥——韦琪

前言

Preface

大乘佛教的核心思想在于三法印：

The core ideology of Mahayana Buddhism is based upon the Three Dharma Seals:

(一)诸行无常；

1. All action is impermanent

(二)诸法无我；

2. All phenomenon is interdependent

(三)涅槃寂静。

3. Nirvana is ultimate tranquility

在这三法印的核心里，涵括了佛陀教诲的慈悲与智慧

The core of the Three Dharma Seals includes the wisdom and compassion taught by the Buddha:

(一)诸行无常：

1. All action is impermanent

知见了世间诸行缘起缘灭，一切都在迁流变异，不生常执的贪嗔痴。

Clearly understanding that all action arises and declines according to conditions, and that everything is in constant flux and change, will keep us from developing enduring attachments because of our ignorance, anger, and greed.

(二)诸法无我：

2. All phenomenon is interdependent

知世间诸法依缘而生灭，依缘而成就；

Knowing that all phenomenon depends upon conditions to arise and decline and depends on conditions to be achieved;

有此故有彼，此灭故彼灭；

And that one thing brings about something else, and the destruction of one brings about the destrution of another;

懂得共业招感的道理，从因地中化解融合，成就和谐美果。

And that understanding these Three Dharma Seals will bring about the perceptive of karma and consequence, and that from a seed of reconciliation and integration as the cause， the effect of harmony can be achieved.

(三)涅槃寂静：

3. Nirvana is ultimate tranquility

既知诸行无常，诸法无我，才能彻底的从贪嗔痴的无明中走出来，转私欲为大爱，化戾气为祥和。

It is only by understanding that all action is impermanent and that all phenomenon is interdependent, that we can thoroughly walk out of the darkness of unawareness caused by our ignorance, anger and greed and turn our selfish desire into universal love, and transform hostility into harmony.

人类在这个五浊恶世中，常常面临著不同的困难考验。

People in this world of the Five Turbidities face different kinds of difficulties and ordeals.
