蔣貢工珠羅卓泰耶:求取圓滿佛果之所以有道理,只因為眾生本來就具有佛性
之所以能從牛奶中提煉奶油,唯一的理由是牛奶中本來就含有乳脂。沒有誰能因為攪動水而獲得奶油。探礦者要尋找黃金,會選擇山岩而非木屑。同樣的,求取圓滿佛果之所以有道理,唯一的理由是眾生本來就具有佛性。若非如此,則一切都是白費工夫。
Getting butter from milk is only possible because milk
already contains cream. No one ever made butter by churning water. The
prospector looks for gold in rocks and not in wood chips. Likewise, the quest
for perfect enlightenment only makes sense because buddha-nature is already
present in every being. Without that nature, all efforts would be futile.
