智慧不可賜 Wisdom cannot be bestowed--美佛寺性仁法師

宣讲于洛杉矶美佛寺

智慧不可賜
佛陀雖有無盡的智慧，但智慧是不能賜給別人的。大家如果想要開智慧，只有自己去開發和挖掘，只有靠自己通過修行。不喜歡修行，不喜歡持戒修定，那是成就不了智慧的。諸位，這個世間沒有不勞而獲的事情，只有通過修行，然後去除煩惱，斷一分煩惱，證一分清凈法身，最後得一分般若智慧。佛陀只是給我們指出了一條通往解脫的大道，這條路要怎麼走，關鍵要靠我們自己，關鍵要看我們自己如何去把握。

Wisdom cannot be Bestowed
Although the Buddha possesses boundless wisdom, wisdom cannot be bestowed to others. If you desire to open up wisdom, you must develop and uncover it by yourself through your own cultivation. Without a fondness for cultivation, adhering to precepts and practicing meditation, one cannot achieve wisdom. Fellow practitioners, there is no such thing in this world as gaining without effort. Only through cultivation can we remove afflictions and by eliminating one part of affliction, we can realize one part of the pure Dharma body, and ultimately attain one part of Prajna wisdom. The Buddha only shows us the path to liberation, but how to walk this path depends crucially on us and on how we grasp it.
