懺悔篇~~真心懺悔痛徹往昔之罪與錯(二)
Chapter of Repentance: Sincerely Repent to Correct and Eliminate All the Previous Sins and Errors (II)
~~恭錄厚德大帝(高老前人大德)於八十三年五月七日懺悔班慈悲
~~ A speech by the Grand Master on the Repenting Session on May 7th, 1994.
一貫弟子要感恩老的恩典和師尊師母慈悲，才有天赦的懺悔班。讓我們體悟懺悔的重要，從生活中的點滴，貼切的來懺悔。只要真心懺悔，師尊師母必定替我們擔起這一切過失，這是自古以來所沒有的殊勝之處。
As Tao followers, we should be grateful for the mercy of Lao-Mu (Heavenly supreme mother) and the virtues of the Patriarch (Shi-Zun) and the Matriarch (Shi-Mu).It is due to their favor that we have the God–forgiving repentance class to attend, can realize the importance of repentance and learn to repent in our daily lives. As long as we truly repent, our Shi-Zun and Shi-Mu will shoulder our sins for us. Such favor is unprecedented.
換句話說，我們的父母會替兒女擔債務，朋友或許替你擔人情。但是累世以來的業債呢？業債是沒有辦法擔的，但師尊、師母卻不斷想著要為我們擔起業債，我們的債務，我們的冤愆。只要真心懺悔，師尊、師母都先幫我們擔了，這實在是白陽末法時期，師尊、師母二位老大人的恩澤，要如何報答師尊、師母對我們的愛心和慈悲呢，就是真心懺悔，真心改過。
Our parents may pay off a debt for us; our friends may do us a favor, but what about our Karma debt that we have accumulated over many lives? Karma debt can’t be taken over. In spite of this, our Shi-Zun and Shi-Mu keep thinking of ways to carry our Karma debt for us. As long as we truly repent, our Shi-Zun and Shi-Mu will carry it all for us. This is indeed their mercy in the White-sun era. But how do we repay their affection, their grace and their mercy? The only way is through sincere repentance.
要如何懺悔，真心改過呢？我們大家都知道，房子髒了，就要去清理；衣服髒了，就要用清水去洗，甚至於可以用上好的洗潔精，或者是最好的工具來刷洗。但是，唯有我們的心靈有病，是無法用這種有形的方法來解決的。
How do we truly repent and turn over a new leaf? As we know, when a house is dirty, it needs cleaning. When our clothes get dirty, we use water, the best detergent, and the best tools to scrub. Our Karma can’t be cleaned in this way.
所以，像我們有病，我們可以找醫生打針或者開刀，都可以找醫生解決我們的毒瘤；但是我們身上所造的罪惡業，這實在不是開刀能解決的，不是金錢能解決的，唯有師尊師母的大德，才能替我們來擔當，為我們解決這個問題，這一點也就是我們大家要真心懺悔的重點，也就是懺悔真正的意義。
So, when we are sick, we will see doctors and they will give us a shot or perform surgery to get rid of our tumor. But the sins we made, can’t be solved by surgery or even money. It is only through the virtues of Shi-Zun and Shi-Mu to carrying our sins for us that we can solve the problem. That’s the point. That’s the true reason of why we should sincerely repent.
明白了懺悔的意義，就要一條一條的懺悔，一件一件來懺悔，這樣子才有一個方向。不要說：嗯！我害人了、我把人殺了，不要這麼說。一定要說：我愚痴，我怎麼樣的把一個人給殺了，殺得有多悽慘，我心裡很難過很痛苦；但是事情已經過了，我沒有辦法使我的良心安，所以我要把這件事告訴我們的老，老娘啊！我過去是這樣的愚痴。
Realizing the meaning of repentance, we have to confess and repent our sins one by one. For example, when repenting, we don’t say “I hurt a man. I killed him.” Instead, we should confess with detail how: “Under the influence of stupidity and foolishness, I killed a man in a horrible way. I feel terribly sorry. I can’t get it over and I can’t make my conscience clear.”You need to confess to Lao-Mu how stupid and foolish you were at that time.
我們要一件一件的來向上天表白，所以在我們懺悔時，才能明白爲什麼要懺悔，我想從多少位點傳師他們所慈悲懺悔的意義及懺悔的真諦之中，大家都能了解。也就是希望能藉由師尊師母、老的恩典能把我們的業障擔過來，而使我們本來的陽光，才能露出來一點；使我們的智慧能增長出來；使我們的定力更堅定，那我們減少了業力，才能往前修道，往渡眾生的路來前進，這樣我們走起來才輕快，才能夠順利的行功立德，才能順利完成我們的道業，這是最重要的修道功課。
We need to confess our sins to Heaven one by one. So when we are repenting, we can realize why we are repenting. I think all of you can get a better understanding of the true meaning of repentance after the lectures presented by the Masters. Through the Mercy of Lao-Mu, Shi-Zun and Shi-Mu, our bad karma can be taken over, our true nature can shine as it used to, and our wisdom can grow. By reducing our bad Karma, we can firmly and steadily march forward to cultivate our true self and to pass Tao along to others. In this way, we can accumulate virtues and merits, and can accomplish our mission smoothly. This is the most important lesson in our Tao cultivation.
假設說我們帶著我們的冤愆，帶著業障、帶著孽緣來修道辦道，必定會背負不少壓力，因為一定常耽憂不知道自己明天會發生什麼事。而只要能真實的懺悔，真實的改過，真實的下了決心，用真心來懺，那種妄想，那種的貪枉，那種的巴結，那種的諂媚，那些心都要趕快歇下來。不要再那麼貪玩，不實在；不要再那麼樣的再造無量業了，不要了。所以懺悔完了，才是改頭換面的機緣。昨死今生，真是這樣子的一個心情，才是給我們一個重生的機會。
Assuming we cultivate Tao, the burden of our sins, our bad Karma, and bad affinity, we will definitely put us under a lot of pressure, and cause us to constantly worry about what will happen to us. We should truly repent. We should rid our minds of fantasy, greed, flattery, playfulness and unreliability. Only by sincerely resolving to truly repent, to stop committing sins, to repent for the mistakes in our past and to embrace the future by turning over a new leaf, can we be offered a chance to be reborn.
