Master Hongyi: Four points should be paid attention to when young people learn Buddhism and practice

弘一法师：青年学佛修行应注意四点

Four points should be paid attention to in practice: one is to cherish happiness, the other is to practice hard, the third is to keep precepts, and the fourth is self-esteem.

-----Zhuge Changqing

amitabha.

Sakyamuni Buddha.

Blessed life is limitless.

The outstanding Hongyi Dharma Master is an example for us to learn from.

His determination to carry forward Buddhism and traditional Chinese culture deserves praise.

Zhuge Changqing believed that Hongyi was the Buddha and Bodhisattva who came to the world to help people.

For the legendary story of Master Hongyi's life, please see the Buddhist film "A Bright Moon", which is performed by famous actor Pu Cunxin. Master Hongyi deserves to learn and admire all his life.

Master Hongyi, commonly known as Li Shutong, was born on September 20 of the lunar calendar in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1880) at the home of a rich businessman and an official in Tianjin, and died in Quanzhou in 1942.

Master Hongyi is a pioneer of China's new culture movement, an outstanding artist, educator, thinker and innovator, an outstanding representative of the combination of traditional Chinese culture and Buddhist culture, the most outstanding monk in the history of modern Chinese Buddhism, and a well-known person with high international reputation.

Master Hongyi has made creative development in music, art, poetry, seal cutting, epigraphy, calligraphy, education, philosophy, law, Chinese character science, sociology, advertising, publishing, environmental and animal and plant protection, and human fasting experiment.

As an eminent monk in calligraphy, Master Hongyi is different from some monks and artists in history, such as Zhiyong and Huaisu. Although wearing cassocks, it seems that their life has not been aimed at firm Buddhist belief and sincere and practical Buddhist practice. They are just artists who live in the Buddhist monastery. "They come to light the world crazily, and get true knowledge while drunk", which is completely the temperament and romance of artists.

The irony of the image of the white-eyed starling in the paintings of Badashan people is obvious. His paintings are really a kind of catharsis, and are not detached from the world. Compared with them, Master Hongyi escaped from Zen more thoroughly. He converted to his own heart and was detached from the outside world. He wanted to devote himself to the cultivation of the law, namely, Buddhism. He was a pure Buddhist master.

Zhuge Changqing believed that Hongyi's erudite, versatile, Buddha and Bodhisattva realm left many legends and wisdom to the world. Today, he shared his "Four Points to Pay Attention to in Young Buddhists and Practice", and shared the fate.

On the opening day of the first month of the first month of the first month of the school year, Son C spoke at the Buddhist sanatorium of Nanputuo Temple

It has been more than a year since the establishment of the Yangzheng Hospital. The reputation outside is very good. This is because it is hosted by Master Ruijin and is warmly loved by all masters, so we can have such achievements.

I am very happy that I have to visit Xiamen this time. Every aspect of the layout is perfect, even the floor is clean, so it is not easy to see in other places.

In a few months, I will go to Riguangyan, Gulangyu, Xiamen, to close the door.

The period is about a long time, and I'm afraid it will not come at all times, so I have come to talk with you.

There are four things to talk with you today: one is to cherish happiness, the other is to practice hard, the third is to keep precepts, and the fourth is self-esteem, which young Buddhists should pay attention to.

First, pay attention to: cherish the blessings (cherish the blessings and do not waste goods)

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless.

People should cherish their blessings when they live. Don't waste food, clothes and water. To waste things is to hurt the nature, to violate the law of heaven, and to damage your own fortune.

"Cherish" is cherishing, and "bless" is blessing.

Even if we are blessed, we should cherish it and never waste it.

You should know that in the end of the law era, people's happiness is very small: if you don't cherish it and enjoy it, you will suffer great pain. That's what the ancients said, 'extreme happiness begets sorrow'!

I remember when I was a child, my father asked someone to write a large couplet, which was a sentence of Liu Wendinggong in the Qing Dynasty. It was hung high on the pillar in the hall. The upper couplet was "cherish food, clothing, not fortune". My brother often taught me to read this sentence. When I read it well, I always pay attention to dressing or eating. Even a grain of rice, I dare not spoil it at will; And my mother often taught me to be careful not to damage or pollute the clothes I wear. This is because my mother and brother were afraid that I would not care for food and clothing, and lose my fortune and die in a short time, so they often told me this.

You know, when I was five years old, my father was dead!

At the age of seven, I practiced writing and scribbled on the whole piece of paper; I didn't know how to cherish it at all. When my mother saw it, she said sternly, "My child! You should know! When your father was alive, don't say that such a large piece of paper would not be wasted, or even inch long pieces of paper would not be thrown away at will!"

Mother's words also mean cherishing happiness!

Because of such family education, I was deeply impressed in my mind. Later, when I was old, I didn't care about food and clothing for a while; Even after becoming a monk, I still keep this habit until now.

Ladies and gentlemen, look at the pair of yellow shoes on my feet, which was given to me by a monk who recited the Buddha Seven in Hangzhou in 1920. If you are free, you can come to my room and have a look. My quilt face is still used before becoming a monk; Another umbrella was bought in 1911.

These things are still the same as new ones, even if there are ragged places and they are sewn with needle and thread. It can be used as long as I can! However, I wear small shirts and pants and Arhat sandals, which need to be changed every five or six years. In addition, most of my clothes are made at home or when I first became a monk.

In the past, people often sent me good clothes or other precious things, but most of them were transferred to others. Because I know my fortune is weak, and good things have no courage to use. Another example is to eat good food when you are sick. In addition, you never dare to buy good food randomly.

It is not my own opinion to cherish the blessings. It is the same with the old mage of the Pure Land Sect's great virtue, the Indian Light. Someone sent him white fungus and other supplements, but he was always unwilling to eat them himself, and sent them to the Guanzong Temple to support the monk Dixian. He was asked:

"Mage! Why don't you eat good supplements?" he said:

"I am so blessed that I can't bear it."

He is an old man, the Indian Light mage, with a straight temperament. He usually only asks people the right way, and ignores the human face. A few years ago, a convert disciple, a famous resident of Gulangyu, went to visit him and had dinner with him. The resident ate well first, and the old mage Yinguang saw that there was one or two grains of rice left in his bowl; So he shouted rudely:

"How lucky you are! You can waste rice like this! You have to eat it up!"

(Zhuge Changqing notes: Master Hongyi once worshipped Master Yinguang as his teacher. Master Yinguang, from 1861 to 1940, said that he was a monk who was always ashamed of himself. He admired the founder of the Pure Land Buddhism, Master Huiyuan, who practiced in Lushan that year, so he was also known as the successor to Lushan. The common name of the master was Zhao, whose name was Dangui, whose name was Shaoyi, and his title was Ren. He was from Chidong Village, Lujing Town, Heyang (today's Heyang), Shaanxi. The master, who has made great contributions to the revitalization of Buddhism, especially the Pure Land Sect, is one of the most influential figures in modern Chinese Buddhism. The master has a high prestige among Buddhists, and is good friends with modern eminent monks such as Xu Yun, Tai Xu, and Di Xian. Master Hongyi worships him as his teacher, and his position among contemporary believers of Pure Land Sect is unmatched.)

Everybody! Remember all the words above!

You should know that even if we are blessed, we have to enjoy three points, and the rest can be reserved for later enjoyment; It would be better if you could have a big heart and be willing to give to all living beings with my blessing and enjoy it together.

Second, pay attention to: diligence (hard work, clean up the environment, help others)

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless.

People should learn to work. At the very least, they should learn to clean up, clean the ground, repair damaged goods, and help others. Keep the ground clean. Buddha Sakyamuni used to sweep the floor and clean the house in person. He also helped the drunk, repaired the lintel and took care of the patients.

'Practice' is practice, and 'labor' is labor. Now let's talk about Xilao:

Please take a look at your body. There are two hands on the top and two feet on the bottom. This was born for labor. If you do not use him to practice, you will not only have negative hands and feet, but also be harmful to your health. In other words: if you work often, you must be healthy. Moreover, we should know that labor is originally human's duty. Not only do we ordinary monks practice labor, but even if we reach the status of Buddha, we should often work. Now let me tell the story of Buddha's labor:

1. Buddha Sakyamuni often sweeps and cleans the floor in person.

The so-called Buddha is Sakyamuni Buddha.

When ordinary people recall that the Buddha was alive, they always thought that, like the abbot monk now, there was a coat master and a waiter who often served, and the Buddha himself didn't have to do anything; But not.

One day, when the Buddha saw that the ground was not very clean, he picked up a broom to sweep the floor. Many of the disciples saw it and came to help sweep it. After a while, they swept the floor very clean. The Buddha saw the joy, then went to the lecture hall and said:

"If you sweep the floor, you can gain five merits."

Zhuge Changqing: Buddha Sakyamuni said that if you can sweep the floor, there are five merits.

2. Buddha Sakyamuni personally helped the drunk.

Another time, Sakyamuni Buddha and Ananda went out for a parade. On the way, they met a drunk disciple, who was drunk and unconscious; The Buddha ordered Anan to lift his feet, lift his head, and carry it to the well. He used a bucket to absorb water, and asked Anan to wash him clean.

3. Buddha Sakyamuni repaired the door frame himself.

One day, the Buddha saw that the lintel made of wood in front of the door was broken, and went to repair it by himself.

4. Buddha Sakyamuni helped the patients personally. Once, when a disciple was ill and no one cared for him, the Buddha asked him:

"You are ill, why no one takes care of you?" said the disciple

"Once upon a time, I didn't take care of him when he was ill. Now I am ill, so he doesn't take care of me." Buddha said after hearing this:

'If someone doesn't take care of you, let me take care of you!'

He washed the sick disciple's stool and urine clean; He also arranged his bed clearly, and then helped him to bed. It can be seen how the Buddha has learned.

Buddha is by no means like today's people, who have to be served in everything and enjoy happiness by sitting on their own.

These facts are based on the laws of scriptures and are not stated out of thin air.

5. Buddha Sakyamuni took care of the blind and the elderly monk himself.

Now I want to tell you two more things: A Mianluotuo, the first disciple in the Sutra of Amitabha, is blind and unable to take care of himself. The Buddha cut his clothes for him and asked other disciples to help him.

Buddha Sakyamuni takes care of the elderly. Once, the Buddha saw an old monk who was blind and wanted to wear a needle and sew clothes, but his eyes could not see clearly, and he shouted:

"Who can thread the needle for me?"

The Buddha immediately agreed:

"I'll dress it for you."

The above examples prove that Buddha often works. I hope you, too, should take the Buddha as an example, do everything by yourself, and do not rely on others.

Third, we should pay attention to: keep the precepts (observe the precepts, manage our hearts, and promote practice)

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless.

One should abide by the precepts, and at least follow the five precepts: kill, steal, covet, lust, and drink. Only by doing more good deeds can we improve our spiritual practice.

I think you always understand the meaning of the word "keep precepts"!

Not to mention the status of Bodhisattva or Buddha, we want to be human again in the next life. At the minimum, we should also be able to hold the five precepts. Unfortunately, although there are many people who take the precepts now, they are only named, but few people can actually hold the precepts.

You should know that if you don't keep the precepts after receiving the precepts, you will commit more crimes than those who don't take the precepts. So I often advise people not to take the precepts casually. As for the general preaching situation now, it's really sad to see it. I can't bear to say it! I think it is best to follow my own strength to accept the precepts. Don't muddle through appearances and find trouble for yourself.

The most important of the precepts is not to mention killing, stealing, lewdness and arrogance. In addition, drinking and eating meat are also easy to be ridiculed. As for smoking, although there is no clear text in the law, it is also easy to be ridiculed in our country's customs. It is always the right not to eat.

Fourth, pay attention to: self-esteem (strong self-confidence, respect for oneself, respect for mission)

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless.

People should be strong and confident, respect themselves, respect their mission, and persevere and move forward bravely on the way of learning and practicing Buddhism.

"Respect" means respect, "self-esteem" means respect for oneself, but everyone likes others to respect me, but I don't know that I respect myself; I don't know that if I want others to respect me, I must start from respecting myself.

How to respect yourself? I always think: I am a great person and a great person. For example, if we want to be a pure eminent monk, let's take the eminent monk to read, and see how they do, I also do, the so-called: "He is my husband and I also."

For example, if I want to be a great Bodhisattva in the future, then I should follow the Bodhisattva in the scriptures and follow my strength. This is self-esteem. But self-esteem is different from Gonggao; Gong Gao is arrogant and arrogant; Self-esteem is to improve one's own virtue, and there is no sense of looking down on others at all.

You should never think that you are a child or a little monk. You can do anything casually. You can't say that I am an ordinary monk. How dare I hope to be a monk or a great bodhisattva. Everything is done by yourself. You can have noble ambitions, and there is nothing you can't do.

If you think like this: I dare not hope to be an eminent monk or a great bodhisattva, then I will do things casually, even abandon myself, and go on the path of depravity. Isn't that very dangerous? You should know that although you are young, your ambition is not high!

I have another word to say to you that we are now in a very noble position to become a monk in accordance with Buddha. In the form of shaving and wearing cassocks, it is also a table of human and heavenly masters. When the king and all celestial beings come to worship, we can sit up and accept it. Do you know that? From now on, we should respect ourselves and never be casual.

The above four items are the most important for a monk to pay attention to. I won't say more about them. I will be closed soon. I'm sorry that I can't talk with you often. But I also want to preach the law in Guannei about three or four times a week. You may as well come and listen!

I'm very happy to meet you today. I only hope that you will remember the four items I have mentioned as a permanent memorial! Time has gone on for a long time, dear gods, I'm sorry! i 'm sorry!

修行要注意四点：一是惜福，二是习劳，三是持戒，四是自尊。

----- 诸葛长青

　　阿弥陀佛。

  释迦牟尼佛。

  福生无量天尊。

  杰出的弘一法师，是我们学习的榜样。

  他立志弘扬佛法，弘扬国学，值得赞叹。

  诸葛长青认为，弘一法师，是佛菩萨来人间度人的。

  弘一法师一生传奇故事，具体请看弘一法师的佛教电影《一轮明月》这部电影由著名演员濮存昕演绎。弘一法师一生值得学习、敬仰。

  弘一法师，俗名李叔同，清光绪六年(1880年)阴历九月二十生于天津官宦富商之家，1942年圆寂于泉州。

  弘一法师是中国新文化运动的前驱，卓越的艺术家、教育家、思想家、革新家，是中国传统文化与佛教文化相结合的优秀代表，是中国近现代佛教史上最杰出的一位高僧，又是国际上声誉甚高的知名人士。

  弘一法师在音乐、美术、诗词、篆刻、金石、书法、教育、哲学、法学、汉字学、社会学、广告学、出版学、环境与动植物保护、人体断食实验诸方面均有创造性发展。

  作为高僧书法，弘一法师与历史上的一些僧人艺术家存有差异，如智永和怀素，尽管身披袈裟，但似乎他们的一生并未以坚定的佛教信仰和恳切实际的佛教修行为目的，他们不过是寄身于禅院的艺术家，"狂来轻世界，醉里得真知"，这完全是艺术家的气质与浪漫。

  八大山人笔下的白眼八哥形象，讽刺的意味是显而易见的，他的画作实在是一种发泄，是入世的，并未超然。比之他们，弘一法师逃禅来得彻底，他皈依自心，超然尘外，要为律宗的即修为佛而献身，是一名纯粹的佛教大家。

  诸葛长青认为，弘一法师博学多才、佛菩萨境界，给人间留下许多传奇和智慧，今天分享他的《青年学佛修行要注意四点》，分享有缘者。

  丙子正月开学日在南普陀寺佛教养正院讲

　　养正院从开办到现在，已是一年多了。外面的名誉很好，这因为由瑞金法师主办，又得各位法师热心爱护，所以能有这样的成绩。

　　我这次到厦门，得来这里参观，心里非常欢喜。各方面的布置都很完美，就是地上也扫得干干净净的，这样，在别的地方，很不容易看到。

　　再过几个月，我就要到厦门鼓浪屿日光岩去方便闭关了。

  时期大约颇长久，怕不能时时会到，所以特地发心来和诸位叙谈叙谈。

　　今天所要和诸位谈的，共有四项：一是惜福，二是习劳，三是持戒，四是自尊，都是青年佛徒应该注意的。

　　第一要注意：惜福（珍惜福分、不浪费物品）

　　诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。

  人活着要珍惜福分，不要浪费粮食、不要浪费衣服、不要浪费水。浪费东西，就是伤天害理，就是违背天道，就是损伤自己的福报。

  “惜”是爱惜，“福”是福气。

  就是我们纵有福气，也要加以爱惜，切不可把它浪费。

  诸位要晓得：末法时代，人的福气是很微薄的：若不爱惜，将这很薄的福享尽了，就要受莫大的痛苦，古人所说‘乐极生悲’，就是这意思啊！

  我记得从前小孩子的时候，我父亲请人写了一副大对联，是清朝刘文定公的句子，高高地挂在大厅的抱柱上，上联是“惜食，惜衣，非为惜财缘惜福”。我的哥哥时常教我念这句子，我念熟了，以后凡是临到穿衣或是饮食的当儿，我都十分注意，就是一粒米饭，也不敢随意糟掉；而且我母亲也常常教我，身上所穿的衣服当时时小心，不可损坏或污染。这因为母亲和哥哥怕我不爱惜衣食，损失福报以致短命而死，所以常常这样叮嘱著。

　　诸位可晓得，我五岁的时候，父亲就不在世了！

  七岁我练习写字，拿整张的纸瞎写；一点不知爱惜，我母亲看到，就正颜厉色的说：“孩子！你要知道呀！你父亲在世时，莫说这样大的整张的纸不肯糟蹋，就连寸把长的纸条，也不肯随便丢掉哩！”

  母亲这话，也是惜福的意思啊！

　　我因为有这样的家庭教育，深深地印在脑里，后来年纪大了，也没一时不爱惜衣食；就是出家以后，一直到现在，也还保守著这样的习惯。

  诸位请看我脚上穿的一双黄鞋子，还是一九二○年在杭州时候，一位打念佛七的出家人送给我的。又诸位有空，可以到我房间里来看看，我的棉被面子，还是出家以前所用的；又有一把洋伞，也是一九一一年买的。

  这些东西，即使有破烂的地方，请人用针线缝缝，仍旧同新的一样了。简直可尽我形寿受用著哩！不过，我所穿的小衫裤和罗汉草鞋一类的东西，却须五六年一换，除此以外，一切衣物，大都是在家时候或是初出家时候制的。

　　从前常有人送我好的衣服或别的珍贵之物，但我大半都转送别人。因为我知道我的福薄，好的东西是没有胆量受用的。又如吃东西，只生病时候吃一些好的，除此以外，从不敢随便乱买好的东西吃。

　　惜福并不是我一个人的主张，就是净土宗大德印光老法师也是这样，有人送他白木耳等补品，他自己总不愿意吃，转送到观宗寺去供养谛闲法师。别人问他：

　　“法师！你为什么不吃好的补品？”他说：

　　“我福气很薄，不堪消受。”

　　他老人家——印光法师，性情刚直，平常对人只问理之当不当，情面是不顾的。前几年有一位皈依弟子，是鼓浪屿有名的居士，去看望他，和他一道吃饭，这位居士先吃好，印光老法师见他碗里剩落了一两粒米饭；于是就很不客气地大声呵斥道：

　　“你有多大福气，可以这样随便糟蹋饭粒！你得把它吃光！”

  （诸葛长青备注：弘一法师曾拜印光法师为师。印光法师，1861—1940年，即释印光，法名圣量，字印光，自称常惭愧僧，又因仰慕佛教净土宗开山祖师－－当年在庐山修行的慧远大师，故又号继庐行者。大师俗姓赵，名丹桂，字绍伊，号子任。陕西郃阳（今合阳）路井镇赤东村人。大师振兴佛教尤其是净土宗，居功至伟，是对中国近代佛教影响最深远的人物之一。大师在佛教徒中威望极高，与近代高僧虚云、太虚、谛闲等大师均为好友，弘一大师更是拜其为师，其在当代净土宗信众中的地位至今无人能及。）

　　诸位！以上所说的话，句句都要牢记！

  要晓得：我们即使有十分福气，也只好享受三分，所余的可以留到以后去享受；诸位或者能发大心，愿以我的福气，布施一切众生，共同享受，那更好了。

　　第二要注意：习劳（勤奋劳动、清理环境、帮助别人）

　　诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。

  人要学会劳动，最起码的要学会收拾卫生，清扫地面、修理损害物品、救助别人.......。把地面环境干干净净。佛祖释迦牟尼佛当年经常亲自扫地、打扫卫生，还救助醉酒者、修理门楣、照顾病人等。

 ‘习’是练习，‘劳’是劳动。现在讲讲习劳的事情：

　　诸位请看看自己的身体，上有两手，下有两脚，这原为劳动而生的。若不将他运用习劳，不但有负两手两脚，就是对于身体也一定有害无益的。换句话说：若常常劳动，身体必定康健。而且我们要晓得：劳动原是人类本分上的事，不唯我们寻常出家人要练习劳动，即使到了佛的地位，也要常常劳动才行，现在我且讲讲佛的劳动的故事：

　　1、佛祖释迦牟尼佛经常亲自扫地、打扫卫生。

  所谓佛，就是释迦牟尼佛。

  在平常人想起来，佛在世时，总以为同现在的方丈和尚一样，有衣钵师、侍者师常常侍候著，佛自己不必做什么；但是不然。

  有一天，佛看到地下不很清洁，自己就拿起扫帚来扫地，许多大弟子见了，也过来帮扫，不一时，把地扫得十分清洁。佛看了欢喜，随即到讲堂里去说法，说道：

　　“若人扫地，能得五种功德。……”

   诸葛长青：佛祖释迦牟尼佛说，若是能扫地，有五种功德。

　　2、佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自救助醉酒的人。

  又有一个时候，释迦牟尼佛和阿难出外游行，在路上碰到一个喝醉了酒的弟子，已醉得不省人事了；佛就命阿难抬脚，自己抬头，一直抬到井边，用桶吸水，叫阿难把他洗濯干净。

　　3、佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自修理门框。

  有一天，佛看到门前木头做的横楣坏了，自己动手去修补。

　　4、佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自帮助病人。有一次，一个弟子生了病，没有人照应，佛就问他说：

　　“你生了病，为什么没人照应你？”那弟子说：

　　“从前人家有病，我不曾发心去照应他；现在我有病，所以人家也不来照应我了。”佛听了这话，就说：

　　‘人家不来照应你，就由我来照应你吧！’

　　就将那病弟子大小便种种污秽，洗濯得干干净净；并且还将他的床铺，理得清清楚楚，然后扶他上床。由此可见，佛是怎样的习劳了。

  佛决不像现在的人，凡事都要人家服劳，自己坐著享福。

  这些事实，出于经律，并不是凭空说说的。

　　 5、佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自照顾盲人、老年比丘。

  现在我再说两桩事情，给大家听听：弥陀经中载著的一位大弟子——阿冕楼陀，他双目失明，不能料理自己，佛就替他裁衣服，还叫别的弟子一道帮著做。

　　 佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自照顾年老的人。有一次，佛看到一位老年比丘眼睛花了，要穿针缝衣，无奈眼睛看不清楚，嘴里叫著：

　　“谁能替我穿针呀！”

　　佛听了立刻答应说：

　　“我来替你穿。”

　　以上所举的例，都足证明佛是常常劳动的。我盼望诸位，也当以佛为模范，凡事自己动手去做，不可依赖别人。

　　第三要注意：持戒（遵守戒律、管好自己的心、促进修行）

　　诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。

  人要遵守戒律，起码做到五戒律：杀、盗、妄、淫、酒。多做善事，才会提高自己精进修行。

   “持戒”二字的意义，我想诸位总是明白的吧！

  我们不说修到菩萨或佛的地位，就是想来生再做人，最低的限度，也要能持五戒。可惜现在受戒的人虽多，只是挂个名而已，切切实实能持戒的却很少。

  要知道：受戒之后，若不持戒，所犯的罪，比不受戒的人要加倍的大，所以我时常劝人不要随便受戒。至于现在一般传戒的情形，看了真痛心，我实在说也不忍说了！我想最好还是随自己的力量去受戒，万不可敷衍门面，自寻苦恼。

　　戒中最重要的，不用说是杀、盗、淫、妄，此外还有饮酒、食肉，也易惹人讥嫌。至于吃烟，在律中虽无明文，但在我国习惯上，也很容易受人讥嫌的，总以不吃为是。

　　第四要注意：自尊（坚强自信、尊重自己、尊重使命）

　　诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。

  人在学佛修行路上，要坚强自信、尊重自己、尊重使命，持之以恒勇往直前。

  “尊”是尊重，“自尊”就是自己尊重自己，可是人都喜欢人家尊重我，而不知我自己尊重自己；不知道要想人家尊重自己，必须从我自己尊重自己做起。

  怎样尊重自己呢？就是自己时时想著：我当做一个伟大的人，做一个了不起的人。比如我们想做一位清净的高僧吧，就拿高僧传来读，看他们怎样行，我也怎样行，所谓：“彼既丈夫我亦尔。”

  又比方我想将来做一位大菩萨，那末，就当依经中所载的菩萨行，随力行去。这就是自尊。但自尊与贡高不同；贡高是妄自尊大，目空一切的胡乱行为；自尊是自己增进自己的德业，其中并没有一丝一毫看不起人的意思的。

　　诸位万万不可以为自己是一个小孩子，是一个小和尚，一切不妨随便些，也不可说我是一个平常的出家人，哪里敢希望做高僧做大菩萨。凡事全在自己做去，能有高尚的志向，没有做不到的。

　　诸位如果作这样想：我是不敢希望做高僧、做大菩萨的，那做事就随随便便，甚至自暴自弃，走到堕落的路上去了，那不是很危险的么？诸位应当知道：年纪虽然小，志气却不可不高啊！

　　我还有一句话，要向大家说，我们现在依佛出家，所处的地位是非常尊贵的，就以剃发、披袈裟的形式而论，也是人天师表，国王和诸天人来礼拜，我们都可端坐而受。你们知道这道理么？自今以后，就当尊重自己，万万不可随便了。

　　以上四项，是出家人最当注意的，别的我也不多说了。我不久就要闭关，不能和诸位时常在一块儿谈话，这是很抱歉的。但我还想在关内讲讲律，每星期约讲三四次，诸位不妨来听听！

  今天得和诸位见面，我非常高兴。我只希望诸位把我所讲的四项，牢记在心，作为永久的纪念！时间讲得很久了，费诸位的神，抱歉！抱歉！
