對死亡的恐懼 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體
一位佛友問我，年逾七十，會不會對死亡有恐懼？ 我回說，死亡只是離開這個身體，沒什麼；可怕的是被業障牽制，不能超脫輪迴之苦。有這樣的瞭解的人，應該致力於淨除業障；而能徹底清淨業障的只有修行佛法。 活著的人都是不知何時會死；求超脫輪迴的人，需要把握目前，投入修行。

Fear of Death
A Dharma friend asked me, now that you are over 70, do you have fear of death? I replied, death is only leaving this body, no big deal; what is worth fearful of is that one is controlled by karmic hindrances that one cannot escape sufferings of transmigration in the six realms. For people who understand life and death in this light, they should endeavor to purify their karmic hindrances; and the only way to thoroughly purify karmic hindrances is through engaging in Dharma practices. People who are living do not know when death will come; for those who seek emancipation from sufferings of transmigration in the six realms, they need to seize the present moment and devote themselves to Dharma practices.
