就近上了几堂佛学班，有了一些启发。。。 第一，众生的我们都愚痴。 第二，愚痴的我们都不承认我们愚痴。 第三，不承认愚痴的我们还对这个事实感到抗拒，还有一些嗔恨。 第四，再不承认愚痴的我们就准备收拾心情堕入三世怨的僵局。 虽然佛陀有八万四千法门，但克制钝根的我们唯有净土法门是这时代最殊胜的。并不是因为它是八万四千法门之首，而是因为我们的根基真的太差了。佛陀苦口婆心说这难信之法不是为根基利的众生而说，因为他们不会不信佛语，好比龙树菩萨不但极力推荐净土法门也以生作则往生极乐净土去了。龙树菩萨乃是“证得欢喜地”(初地)之菩萨。 是不是因为我们根基顿，又自以为是，反而钻牛角尖，半信半疑，甚至还毁谤念佛法门？如果说历代高僧祖师用一生的宝贵时间去亲身经历探测的法门是我们觉得太肤浅的，那说真的，只能愿大德您在这一生修成正果。但在否定任何一个法门之前，我们必须彻底亲身经历探测这法门，才有资格批评。好比藕益大师，他老人家参学了各宗派的教义与体系才认定净土法门比较适应末法众生。三百多年前的明代高僧都这么说了，我们凭什么不信？高僧的话可不信但佛言不可不信呀！ 真悯 合十
