"Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana"


A Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua



So, you who are studying Buddhism, don't think, oh! I study Buddhism! This also didn't achieve anything. What do you want? What you get are all dirty things; what you don't get is the pure nature!

You can get it; what's the use of getting it? Say, then what's the use if I can't get it? Why do you want something that can be used? It's the same whether it's useful or not!

But people, when they have nothing to do, they have to find something to do. Looking for trouble when there is nothing to do means creating a problem when there is no problem at all. Originally, if you could give up thoughts, the cycle of life and death would be over. But if you can't let go of this thought, the cycle of life and death will never end! If the cycle of life and death cannot end, you will be filled with even more delusions. Ah! This delusion, the more you think about it, the more it will become. The more you think about it, the more you have to think about it. If you can get rid of this delusion, you can follow the Buddha's teachings and achieve enlightenment into the Buddha's way. Once you are able to leave this delusion behind, you will have attained enlightenment and entered the Buddha path.
