什么叫断灭空?有些人因为知见不正,以为我们人的生命,死了就断灭了,什么都没有了。所谓人死如灯灭,亦如汤浇雪。意思就是说:灯一吹熄,不会再燃;热汤淋到雪上,雪溶化了就什么都没有。这种思想,是只有现世,没有来生,人生一切的善恶因果,他认为都是没有的,他说:既然人死了,什么也没有了,所以做善又有何用,做恶又有什么可怕, 所以叫做断灭空。
可是他不知道,法性虽然是空的,但是幻相还是有的,人生所造的业相,善恶分明,因果不爽,你如果为善不良,你一定要堕落到恶道去受苦,所以也叫做恶趣空。
What is emptiness of annihilation? Some people because of inaccurate perception, thought that our human lives will end as we die. Just like blowing off the candle light, pouring hot soup onto the snow. It means that, once the light has been blown off, it won’t reignite; while nothing is left after the hot soup melted the snow. This kind of thought, only thinks about the current life, not the next life, as the good & evil, cause and effect of human life is thought non-existent, once a person dies, nothing is left, so what for doing good, while being evil doesn’t seem to be scary? Therefore this is called emptiness of annihilation.
However, even if the nature of dharma is emptiness, there is still manifestation, the karma we created, the distinction between good and evil, karma that applies to all. If you don’t do good, you will fall to the evil realm to suffer, which is also known as the emptiness of evil path. |
