學習"盧台長"的白話佛法

摘錄 盧軍宏台長- 白話佛法11.17

很多人問：「師父，為什麼我修心念經之後，我會想不通，我的業障會多起來？念了小房子，要經者怎麼會越來越多？」

因為你過去從來沒有念過經文，就猶如這麼多年你都沒有還過貸款，你從現在開始還錢了，一下子是會有壓力的。因為你要還貸款，你才知道掙錢的不容易，你才會節約用錢，道理都是一樣的。

正是由於這些業緣的存在，才使得我們需要更加精進地去修持，去修持自身、自心，就是修自己的身體和自己的心。

Many people ask, ‘Master Lu, why am I still worrying and my karmic obstacles increasing, even though I have embarked on spiritual cultivation and on reciting Buddhist scriptures? Why are there more and more karmic creditors even though I have started reciting Little Houses?’

This is because you have never recited Buddhist scriptures before. It is as if you have not been paying back your loans for all these years and once you start paying back the money, you are suddenly feeling the pressure. Since you need to pay back your loans, you finally realise how hard it is to earn money, and thus you cut down on your expenses; this is how it works. 

The existence of these negative affinities that stem from our karma urges us to cultivate ourselves more diligently. Moreover, it urges us to cultivate our bodies and minds; that is, to cultivate our physical body and our spirituality.
