~心道法師開示~
一生當中，若能到佛陀的聖地，就表示能尋到根，獲得佛陀的真理。朝聖，就是用生命去換取佛陀的感召，換得嶄新的生命以後，就會逐漸也有真理的緣起。千辛萬苦去朝聖，不要小看朝聖的意義，一切從心念出發開始，就是朝聖，並不是到聖地才算。這段時間發生的一切，都是神聖的。
讓我們的心，和佛陀相應，堅定目標，清淨意念。朝聖的功德，能障除業障，轉逆境為順遂，所以我們要虔誠、莊重，到了聖地，更要發願成佛。這個世界是一座火宅，想出離或超越火宅，必得下定決心精進修行，直至證悟，方可離開痛苦輪迴。能讓自己進心堅固、聖者曾經修行淬鍊的地方，就有祂的磁場，所以我們到聖地一拜，能讓自己的道心堅固。我們學聖者的精神，祈願這一生修道的命運，能有很好的收成。
Pilgrimage Guidance
— Teachings by Dharma Master Hsin Tao —
In one’s lifetime, being able to visit the sacred sites of the Buddha means one can trace back to the root and obtain the Buddha’s truth. A pilgrimage is using one’s life to exchange for the Buddha’s inspiration. Once we receive this renewed life, the connection to truth will gradually arise. Do not underestimate the meaning of undertaking a pilgrimage, even if it is difficult. Everything that begins from a pure intention is already a pilgrimage; it is not only counted when one arrives at the holy site. Everything that happens during this period is sacred.
Let our hearts resonate with the Buddha, hold firm to our goals, and purify our thoughts. The merit of pilgrimage removes karmic obstacles and transforms adversity into smooth pathways. Therefore, we must be sincere and respectful. When we reach the sacred sites, we should make aspirations for Buddhahood. This world is like a burning house. To escape or transcend this burning house, we must resolve to practice diligently until realization, so that we may leave the suffering of samsara.
Places where sages once practiced and cultivated their path naturally carry their spiritual field. Thus, even offering a single prostration at a holy site can strengthen our spiritual resolve. By learning the spirit of these noble practitioners, we pray that our life’s spiritual journey may yield profound and meaningful fruition.
