QUOTE–Evil & Erroneous Views

Today I am going to speak about evil views and erroneous views. If anyone who is learning Buddhism and cultivating himself follows one of these evil views, he will not become liberated. Furthermore, the meritorious virtues that are the basis for his good fortune and wisdom will not grow, and he will not achieve realization powers through his practice. No matter what sect you belong to, if you want to end your cycle of birth and death and attain liberation, then you must not follow any evil view or erroneous view. If you follow even one evil view, it will not be possible for you to accumulate through your practice the meritorious virtues that are the basis for good fortune and wisdom. Moreover, you will be unable to attain liberation.

However, if you repent and immediately correct yourself after following such a view, there will be no problem.

  • I will try and include at least one of the evil or erroneous views in each week’s blog. Last week they provided insight into the true goals of Buddhism. This week they address the correct way to view and interact with beings from other realms. Again, I must repeat the caveat that although I am drawing from correct teachings given by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, I am not sure that either the translations I have or my understanding of them are totally correct. However, even with this caveat, I believe with all my heart, that the translations we have, although they may not yet be perfect are more perfect and useful than any other teachings I have found on Buddhism.
