放下小我，才能得大福报（双语开示）

　　要放下“我”才能有这个“大”，有我就是小，怎么整你也小。如大慈大悲观世音菩萨广度众生，为众生活着；地藏王菩萨大慈大悲：“地狱不空，誓不成佛”，就只管度众生，不管自己成佛的事！这个时候的福德无量大。你发起这样的心的时候，这个善因有多大啊？你发这么大的善因，未来的果报不就是大果报吗？所以发心越大福报就越大，福德就圆满了！

　　Only after we get rid of “the self”completely can we realize the Maha, the big. Based on “the self”， whatever we do is small. As we all know, Arya Avalokitesvara, the Goddess of Mercy, is completely dedicated to the great cause of saving all sentient beings; Ksitigarbha, Dizang Bodhisattva, made great vows of “saving all sentient beings from the hell before attaining Buddhahood”。

　　When we decide to put everything aside and live only for the liberation of the sentient beings, our virtue and merits shall grow immeasurably, because the decision we make shall lead to relevant result. The bigger our kind wish is, the bigger virtues and merits we shall gain. Grand vows lead to supreme virtues and merits.
