Interview with Master Jue Xing
Q: At the beginning of the new millenium, how does Buddhism meet with the new century? Can you give any your personal comments?
A:

This is a big topic, also a topic many people concern. Here I will tell some shallow views:

1. To inherit and develop the positive contents in Buddhist doctrines and disciplines to serve the socialist spiritual civilization. Buddhism demands the Buddhist disciples to purify themselves through abide by the five precepts and ten good deeds, and to benefit people through cultivation of four all-embracing virtues and the Six Paramitas. In the Buddhist doctrines, there are many positive contents, such as "the outlook on life of altruism without ego and salvation to all the people", "cultivation approach of equal importance of discipline, meditation and wisdom, and abstraction and cultivation of dhyana and contemplation", and so on. Those can play an irreplaceable and positive function in purification of society and mind of people and improvement of Buddhist culture.

2. To develop Buddhist ethics with great efforts to stabilize society and purify mind of people. We very often educate the Buddhist disciples the principle of "making friends with people before one obtains enlightenment", actively guide them regard the moral doctrine of "commitment of no evil and practice of all good virtues" as the base of Buddhist belief, let them truly believe the law of cause and effect that "in the end there will be retribution and gratitude for evil and goodness". Thus they can make up their mind to be a good citizen, a good Buddhist, self-consciously work for the realization of human pure land and make more contribution for "the accomplishment of bright world " and bring more blessing and joy to the sentient.(continue...)
