In the Eye of the Beholder

DateJanuary 10, 2009

 

Ordinary people see everyone as ordinary.

Arhats see everyone as arhats.

Bodhisattvas see everyone as bodhisattvas.

Buddhas see everyone as Buddhas.

Wise people see everyone as teachers.

 

Pure Land practitioners should see everyone as Amitabha Buddha.

So if we look down on anyone,

we look down on Amitabha Buddha.

If we have conflict with anyone,

we have conflict with Amitabha Buddha.

~ Ven. Master Chin Kung
