就像想做一個黃金的寶瓶,首先材質得是黃金,想成為一個佛教徒,至少要先成為一個善良的好人。沒有善心,卻想成為佛教徒,是種邪見。所謂善良的好人,不是指完全沒有煩惱和情緒,這很難,但至少情緒要比較輕微,不那麼放肆。只要你是一個善良的好人,自然就會是一個佛教徒。



Like want to be a gold vase, first of all the material must be gold. If want to become a Buddhist, at least the first condition is to be a good being. Without loving and kindness, but want to become a Buddhist, is a kind of deviant views. The so-called a good being, does not mean with no problem and emotion, this is difficult. But at least emotion has to be relatively minor, and not so presumptuous. As long as you are a good being, will naturally be a Buddhist.
