經典篇 / Scripture 濟公活佛慈悲囑語 Holy Teacher Ji-Gong Living Buddha’s merciful teaching

Everyone has their own unique karmic affinity. That you could attend this seminar
is also part of your blessings. To be able to participate in this Tao seminar is truly a
blessing—many people are not able to attend. Why can’t they attend? (Because they have not
received Tao.) Why haven’t they received Tao? (Because they’re lacking in their karmic affinity.)
Therefore, you must understand that your karmic affinity is very deep and precious.
Since you now realize that others lack this affinity, you should treasure your own.
Affinity is hard to gain but easy to lose. Only by cherishing the present can you have a
beautiful future. Isn’t that so? (Yes.) Life only spans a few short decades, and no one
knows what tomorrow will bring. If you have this very minute to cultivate and
propagate Tao, then you must cherish it. Don’t say, “I’ll cultivate when I’m old.” Can

you be sure you’ll live to old age? (No.)

Are you tired after listening to the Tao lectures? (No.) Do you feel sleepy? (No.)
Then what do you want to do now? (Listen to Holy Teacher’s compassionate words.) It is rare for
Teacher to meet with you. Isn’t that true? (Yes.) Each time I come, I hope you will gain
more understanding, deepen your realization, comprehend more of the meaning of Tao,
and understand the efforts of the saints and sages, as well as the devotion and
dedication of the Tao seniors.

The fact that this seminar could be held today has stirred the three realms—this
was just said by the Immortal. If it can stir the three realms, that shows it is a joint
effort of heaven and humans, so how blessed you are to be a part here. To be reborn as
a human, and then to encounter the divine Tao, is the result of the merits and virtues
you have accumulated over many lifetimes. Make good use of and fully express this
karmic affinity. Is sixty thousand years a long time? (Yes.) Now that you have this
opportunity to awaken, should you cherish it? (Yes.)

To cultivate Tao, you must refine your heart, eliminate bad habits and tempers, and
return to your pure, innocent nature. Aside from that, you should also help others to do
the same. You must go forth to “save the world and transform the masses”.
