从地府寄来的悔过书
从地府寄来的悔过书
刘会长，某某庙已去世，从地府传话------
我在地府：满身尘土，饥饿，贫困，无助，等审判。
我后悔。世界飞奔向前，我却拿传统当借口，让神明满面污垢，坐在尘土之中。我们只在乎卖东西、募款，忘了用庙里的钱去做出改变，去传神明的道理------传道德、传慈悲、救苦救难 救众生、去创新、去连接年轻人。
我们也忘了帮那些一直支持我们的老信众，让他们在年老时，不用钱也可以感受神明的爱与祝福。他们和他们的孩子，现在对我、对庙里帮忙的人，非常不满，有怨气。这成为我的过失。
这一切是我的恶业------我的懒惰、我的疏忽、我对神明和世人的不关心。我本来可以积累很大的功德，但现在只有无尽的后悔。
请庙里找有商业履历、好心肠的人，改正我们以上的错误。
请救救我。请救救你自己。
请原谅我。
刘会长 从地府绝笔
Confession Letter Sent from the Underworld
President Liu, a certain temple’s [abbot/manager] has already passed away, and is sending a message from the underworld—
Here in the underworld: I am covered in dust, hungry, poor, helpless, awaiting judgment.
I regret everything. The world rushes forward, but I used tradition as an excuse, leaving the gods covered in filth, sitting in the dust. We only cared about selling things and raising funds. We forgot to use the temple’s money to make a difference, to spread the teachings of the gods—to spread morality, to spread compassion, to relieve suffering and save sentient beings, to innovate, and to connect with the younger generation.
We also forgot to help the elderly devotees who have always supported us, so that in their old age, they too could feel the gods’ love and blessings without needing money. Now, they and their children are very dissatisfied and resentful toward me and those helping at the temple. This has become my transgression.
All of this is my evil karma—my laziness, my negligence, my indifference toward the gods and toward people. I could have accumulated great merit, but now I am left with nothing but endless regret.
Please find people in the temple who have a business background and kind hearts to correct the mistakes mentioned above.
Please save me. Please save yourselves.
Please forgive me.
