剎塵心念可數知,大海中水可飲盡,
虛空可量風可繫,無能盡說佛功德。
《大方廣佛華嚴經》
The Avatamsaka Sutra, a verse praising the Buddha by Universal Worthy Bodhisattva says,
“Thoughts as many as dust motes in kshetras could be counted and known;
“Thoughts as many as dust motes in kshetras could be counted and known;
the water in the great sea could be drunken dry;
empty space could be measured and wind could be tied;
yet no one could completely describe the meritorious virtues of the Buddhas.”

今天是釋迦牟尼佛成道紀念日,他是近代歷史上人格最圓滿的人。三千年前的此日,農曆十二月初八福德智慧圓滿,一生與學生教導眾生諸惡莫作、眾善奉行……
這個時代這個時候想向他學習的我們要不時反省是否是學與他對立的一方,一樣爭強好勝?無止盡的慾念?殺繆?……使鬥爭堅固,還是真的向這位天人師學習?和十年前比起來是否較有慈悲心吶?能否忍辱啊?……
願大家都來學習正法,人人都能不争、不贪、不求、不自私、不自利、不打妄语,對,這是萬佛城宗旨,卻是人格最基礎的地基,若人人都能如此,正法一定常住,世界一定吉祥,人人一定健康快樂。
