Merit and virtue
from Robot Monk Xian'er
功德 功德的真正含义 是人内心的善净之法 积累功德即内心成长的过程。 “恶尽言功，善满曰德” 功德的本意是内心的慈悲与智慧 现在“功德”一词的涵义 已经被异化、俗化， 在很多人心目中 跟物质利益差不多， 本身是一个误解。 Merit and virtue Thetrue meaning of Merit is the good and pure dharma in one’s heart. Accumulationof Merit is itself the process of spiritual growth. “Terminationof evil is merit; completion of goodness is virtue.” Actually,the original meaning of Merit is one’s compassion and wisdom. Unfortunately, now it has been alienizedand secularized. In the mind of a lot of people, it almost equals to material benefits, whichis a misconception indeed.
