Avatamsaka Sutra 2011-04-23

"He further makes the following reflection: All living beings travel the dangerous roads of birth and death and are about to fall into the hells, animals, and hungry ghosts. They are trapped by the net of evil views. They are confused by the forest of stupidity. They follow crooked paths and practice upside down behavior. They are like blind people who lack guides. They think that dead-end roads will lead them out. They enter into the states of demons and are seized by evil bandits. They accord with the demons’ mind and leave behind the Buddha's intentions. I should pull them out of such danger and difficulty and teach them to stay in fearlessness in the city of omniscience." 經文: "又作是念： 『一切眾生在於生死險道之中，將墮地獄、畜生、餓鬼，入惡見網中， 為愚癡稠林所迷，隨逐邪道，行顛倒行。 譬如盲人無有導師，非出要道謂為出要，入魔境界， 惡賊所攝，隨順魔心，遠離佛意。 我當拔出如是險難，令住無畏一切智城。』"
