慧光法師開示
龍樹菩薩曾說:「佛法大海,信為能入,智為能度。」信心是學佛的入門,甚至是我們修道行善的動力。它能幫助我們長養種種的善根功德,但它不能斷除無明煩惱,唯有智慧的修學,才能獲得身心清淨,與真理實相相應。因此,雖然說將佛法落實到生活中,是一種因信仰三寶而產生的生活實賤,但許多人就是連這一點也沒有,只是一昧強調信仰、求加持、拜拜求平安,而不將佛陀的聖教落實到自己的生活中,一點一滴地去改變、提昇、淨化自己。佛陀不是世間的神明,也不需要我們對他的信仰崇拜。他是一位究竟解脫的聖者,一位生命智慧的偉大教育者。因此,學佛者若只是停留在感性的信仰中,是不夠的。這也不是佛陀所教授的。所以,學習佛法要力求勝解,有了對佛法更深入的正確理解,才能鞏固我們的清淨信心,面對種種境界考驗時,無有退轉。最後,才能破除煩惱習氣,成就佛道,這便是智慧的重要性!因此,解脫輪迴不是靠信仰,而是因為有智慧。所以說佛法是生命智慧的教育,而不是一種強調信仰的宗教。阿彌陀佛!
