What Should We Show?

By Master Jingzong

Read by Householder Jingxin (Ronald D. DiVestea)

Couples who openly displayed their love for each other are said to have divorced soon after; those who flaunted their riches are said to have gone bankrupt in no time; those who showed their high position and power are said to have just been put in prison; and those who taught others how to be healthy are said to have fallen ill suddenly and died …

The wind of impermanence is fierce. Like bubbles, everything in this world breaks easily. Whatever you have on show, perishes.

We reciters have nothing to show but Amitabha Buddha. We are showing others that rebirth to the Pure Land is guaranteed by reciting the name of the Buddha. How happy we are!

May I wish that everyone can have this blessing to show with tenacity and equanimity. A blessing which is available to all and does not create greed or envy.

文/净宗法师

朗读/净信居士（Ronald D. DiVestea）

曾秀恩爱的，很快听说已离婚；秀财富的，不久传来已破产；秀权位的，刚刚成了阶下囚；秀健康的，忽闻暴病已身亡……

 

无常风烈，万法不坚犹如水泡，秀什么灭什么。

 

吾辈一无所有，但秀阿弥陀佛，秀我念佛必生净土，岂不乐乎。

 

愿天下人皆得此秀！秀得长远，秀得安稳，人人有分，不生嫉妒。
