Stupas and Temples frequently feature artwork scenes from the Jataka Tales

The Garland of Birth Stories: When I see the form of my misconduct clear in the mirror of the teachings I develop a feeling of regret and turn my mind toward the teachings.
【《本生论》云:“我鄙恶行影,明见于法镜,意极起痛恼,我当趣正法。”】


我这个卑鄙的、恶劣的行为,这个影子啊,欸!被这个法镜一照,照出来了。那个时候才是真正我该痛恨的、厌恶的地方。所以真正修行人,一定是这样。岂不见六祖大师说“若真修道人,不见他人过”,不管是印度,不管是中国,乃至于哪一个修道人都是这样,真正修道人看不见人家过失,为什么?看自己都来不及啊!等到你自己做好了以后,然后你看见别人,救人都来不及!这是千真万确啊!等到你把人家救起来,你就成了佛了,然后你生生世世,永远做这个工作,这一定的,所以我们下脚第一步是这样的。那个时候“意极起痛恼”,这个痛恼干什么?痛恼我不成材,然后一心一意去趣正法。
