【信仰话题系列】清晰生命的主题—信仰的守护（三）

摘要：信仰给我们带来了生命的殊胜支持。每一时每一刻每一个因缘，你都可以重新来，可以从零做起。

信仰是一个很重要的事情。以前师父写过一篇很短的小文章——《我的宗教观》。他很感慨地说，信仰给我们带来了每一时、每一刻、每一个因缘的生命的殊胜支持。就是你可以重新来，每一时、每一刻、每一个因缘，你都可以重新来，可以从零做起。

这是个广大的供养与支持。不要任何业力的负担，就从零看，从最原始的状态看自己的心理、生命的组成和作用。这是个最大的支持！

这个支持来源于智慧者、觉悟者给予的无一法可得，来源于佛教讲的如梦如幻、没有实质、性空、性空缘起等等。这个信仰是本质的信仰，不是某个阶段、某个角度、某个层面的一个信仰。

你感觉到这个东西了，就会特别感激。因为啥？感动于这个生命，说这个生命可以不负担了，可以不必去承担那些如幻的、本来不可得的、本来性空的业力的纠缠了。不承担那些东西了，解放自己。实际就是信仰解放了自己，对你所有过去的业力给了一个解放，对所有纠缠的业、骄慢的业、自卑的业，给了一个解放。

关键是我们能否纯正地去守护它。

Make clear about the theme of our life – persist in our faith (三)

Faith is very important. Our Master wrote an article before: “My view on religion”, in which he states with admiration that faith brings him wonderful support in everything or in every present moment. It means we can start all over again from anything or from any moment, “starting from zero”.

Thanks to this tremendous support and gift, we have the opportunity to get rid of the burden of our karma and observe the structure and function of our life from a primordial or inherent state, our “ground zero”. This is our strongest support.

This support is based upon the truth revealed by the enlightened and wise ones: ultimately one cannot obtain anything, or said differently, everything is as illusory as a dream and therefore empty in essence. This is a basic faith believing in the common nature of everyone and everything, rather than a particular faith at certain stage, from certain angle, or for certain class of people.

If we get to reach this truth, we will be particularly grateful because we are able to free ourselves from the entangled karma which is illusory and empty in essence. There is no more burden for us to bear. It is our faith that sets us free from our past karma, whether it is good or bad.

The key is whether we can persist in this faith or not.
