【传喜法師開示】這樣做才能增長福報和威德力
在經典里說: 過去有罪業，現在還沒有清淨，所以他福德沒有，對別人好，別人都不接受。所以我們學佛的人， 要增加自己的福德，懺悔我們往昔誹謗善知識、誹謗善法、誹謗三寶、誹謗對自己有恩的人、忘恩負義、對自己的長輩忤逆等種種罪，那我們就開始有威德力了。否則的話，對你有恩的人不知恩， 不圖報，這種人以後沒有威德力。對自己長輩，對父母，對天底下最愛你的人， 讓他傷心，這樣的人也沒福報。良師益友是人世間最大的財富，卻不知道珍惜， 這種人沒福報。而且無上的三寶福田， 曾經詆毀、破壞，這種人沒福報。諸佛菩薩化現在人間的善知識，不知道珍惜， 這種人沒福報，最悲慘! 常常我帶大家懺悔，懺悔到違背良師、狎近惡友，我自己都要痛哭流涕，這是人世間最大的悲哀!
According to the Buddha’s teachings, one who lacks good karma and has not purified their previous negative karma is prone to being rejected by others even if they treat other people well. Therefore, a Buddhist should focus on cultivating good karma while confessing all the misdeeds of their past. These could include distaining the virtuous masters, Buddha-dharma, the Three Jewels and those we owe gratitude, or being ungrateful and upsetting one’s elders. One must purify negative karma accordingly. By doing so, we can become persuasive and influential. The following types of people will possess no good fortune: those who upset their parents, the people who love them most in the world; those who disdain and do harm to the Three Jewels, the supreme field of good fortune in the world; those who are ungrateful towards fine teachers and virtuous friends, especially spiritual friends who are reincarnations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.I often lead my disciples to make confessions. I cannot help shedding tears when I hear of wrongdoings against fine teachers and intimacy with evil friends – this is the greatest sadness in the world!
