改过的基础


发羞耻心 Feel Shame


唯有知耻,才能真正改过,才能发奋向上。不知耻才会搞贪、嗔、痴、慢;必定沦落三途。

One who knows Shame will put his best efforts into reforming his faults.
One who cannot comprehend shame will be unrestrained and immoral.



发畏惧心 Know Reverence


要发戒慎恐惧的心,知道我们丝毫的过失,瞒不过天地鬼神,诸佛菩萨们人人皆知道,所以起心动念都不可有邪念,没有邪念,自然就不会作恶。

One must know Reverence: Even in the most concealed place, the most minor wrongdoing will not go unnoticed, for we are constantly in the presence of celestial beings and earthly spirits.


If one is constantly mindful of his presence, one will be able to discipline oneself to never commit wrongdoings.


发勇猛心 Determination and Courage


勇猛精进,不要怀疑,先把自己的过失找出来,勇敢的去把它改正过来,不要忧虑,不要害怕。

One must have Determination and Courage: One should use every effort and resolve to change immediately.

 One should never put off change until tomorrow or the day after.
