爱是一种感受，痛苦也觉得幸福
爱是一种体会，心碎也觉得甜蜜
爱是一种经历，破碎也觉得美丽
爱是一种信仰，孤寂也觉得美满

今天是邰正宵的生日，祝他生日快乐。他创作的第一首歌曲《无奈》我非常喜欢。
十几年前听到现在，还是能深感到那无奈的感觉。其实这几天的心情确实有如歌名。
生活中难免会有无奈的时候。以前嘛，觉得无奈很难受，现在看开多了。
无奈，也就是没有其他的办法了，所以再怎么去惆怅也于事无补。

当我感觉世间冷漠无奈　人生的路口我在徘徊
脚步蹒跚昨日欢笑已不在　笑容里隐藏着悲哀

何处可以找到些许真情　纷争的世界恐已难寻
真心的爱是我日夜的期待　无奈是只有空等待

当我寂寞在心底　独自彷徨一个人的时候　我没有忘记谁在我左右
当我真心爱着你　你却突然一去不再回头　我没有忘记谁把一切都带走

我可以将我所有一切都给你　因为我知道爱情存在的意义
如果你愿意请你给我个机会　我要让你知道所谓真正的情爱

你可知道什么叫做不应该　快乐之后剩下竟然是悲哀
离别之后剩下只有无奈　从今以后爱情是否永远不存在

一开始我以为爱本来会很容易
所以没有经过允许就把你放心底
直到后来有一天你和他走在一起
我才发现原来爱情不是真心就可以

我感动天感动地怎么感动不了你
明明知道没有结局却还死心塌地
我感动天感动地怎么感动不了你
总相信爱情会有奇迹都是我骗自己

以为自己不再去想你
保持不被刺痛的距离
就算早已忘了我自己
却还想要知道你的消息

all of us wanted to love happily in this troubled world.. but unknowingly,
we choose not to.. how many of us know how to do that and after getting enlightened,
willing to live happily?



Just as the Dalai Lama was about to continue, he suddenly had a brief coughing fit...
Reaching into my pocket, I offered him a lozenge. "Thank you," he said, and as he
put the lozenge into his mouth, he suddenly started to laugh: "Oh! So here you can
see a very small example [of how one might look at problems in terms of potential
benefits or outcomes] – right now I have this scratchy, sore throat, a small
problem. That is negative. But if you investigate, you see, you can always find
other angles. So, looking at another angle, a positive angle, this coughing just
brought something good – a sweet from a friend! A moment of sharing. It isn’t all
bad. It is a matter of reminding yourself that despite this problem, there are still
positive things in life.

"So, we have been talking about how a narrow perspective can increase feelings of
hopelessness and other negative emotions, and cause us greater suffering. If we have
too much self-involvement, a kind of very narrow self-concern, this can limit us and
cause problems, exaggerating our suffering. So, in the case of this sore throat,
this is not really much of a problem – but if I focus too much on myself and keep
thinking, 'Oh, what a problem this sore throat is, this cough is so annoying, why am
I afflicted with this?' Then this just serves to exaggerate the situation, and then
it becomes a problem.If your vision narrows so you focus your attention only on a
problem or tragedy, you can even become completely overwhelmed by it, when in fact
it is a surmountable problem.

"However, we can prevent this. Broadening our perspective acts as an antidote to
that kind of narrow perspective, and there are various ways to do this. One way is
by comparison, comparing of your own situation with those who are less fortunate
than yourself. For example, if I am troubled by a sore throat and lots of annoying
coughing, I can remember that at this moment there are so many people in the world
experiencing problems that are so much more serious, so many people suffering, in
real pain – and compared with that, this small problem is nothing. Another way is to
take a more long-term view, realizing that yes, this may be a little annoying or
inconvenient, but this is just temporary and will soon pass. And then by remembering
that problems and suffering are naturally bound to arise, looking from a different
angle you'll realize that, after all, as long as I have this body." he said, slapping
one arm with the opposite hand, "It is bound to have a certain number of
sore throats. That's the reality..."

The truly wise appear
truly foolish
to the truly foolish.

- Stonepeace




Zen Master Ryokan lived a simple and frugal life - all by himself in a small hut at
the foot of a mountain. One evening, a thief visited the hut only to discover there
was nothing in it to steal. When Ryokan returned, he was 'caught' red-handed.
Instead of being angry or alerting the authorities, Ryokan said, 'As you must have
come a long way to visit me, you should not leave empty-handed. Please take my
clothes as a gift.'Stunned and bewildered, the thief nevertheless took the clothes
before sheepishly hurrying off. As Ryokan sat naked while watching the moon, he
exclaimed, 'Poor fellow, I wish I could have given him the beautiful moon!'

Ryokan challenged the norm by being gracious even to the petty. Shouldn't he
admonish him to change his ways? He probably saw no point in punishing him
conventionally, but more worth in acknowledging his desperation with touching
compassion. In an extended version of the story, he asked the thief to thank him
before leaving. When he was caught later, Ryokan was asked to testify the theft,
among others. Ryokan answered that he gave his robe to him, that he was even
thanked for it. To that, the thief broke down in hot repentant tears. Criminals are
often further hardened with punishment. Why not soften their hearts instead?

In Buddhism, the moon symbolises the bright and beautiful truth, that is often
missed, shrouded by the passing dark clouds of our defilements. Yet, taken for
granted, the moon is always there. The truly precious cannot be stolen. It cannot
even be given, but only pointed to – for another to see. Even fellow Buddhists miss
the moon of truth at times, when they become attached to the finger of words that
point to the truth, mistaking the finger for the moon. The thief almost missed the
precious truth too, that Ryokan was trying to impart – the truth that the virtues of
contentment, generosity and kindness which saved him are priceless, that cannot be
stolen - qualities that he should emulate. – Shen Shi'an

Thrown, dropped, mutilated, and ground-up alive. This is the shocking reality

We confuse attachment with love. Attachment is concerned with my needs,
my happiness, while love is an unselfish attitude, concerned with the needs
and happiness of others.... A relationship free of unrealistic grasping
is free of disappointment, conflict, jealousy, and other problems,
and is fertile ground for the growth of love and wisdom.

- Kathleen McDonald, "How to Meditate"

每个宗教都有信仰。佛教承认基督教的信仰，以及其他宗教的信仰。因为佛教认为
每个宗教都叫人从善，把人类提升。只是方式和程度不一样罢了。一些大法师也有
看圣经的，比如净空法师，慧律法师等等。尤其慧律法师，他为了了解其他宗教，
看了各个宗教的经典和经文，也仅用了三年的时间，便把圣经背得滚瓜烂熟！

慧律法师曾经赞叹耶稣基督是一位非常非常伟大且了不起的人物，甚至对耶稣基督
佩服得五体投地。对于他来说，耶稣就是活菩萨。菩萨或耶稣只是称呼上的差别罢了，
佛教是认同基督教里神的存在的。



看了这个录像，其实我觉得这个道清老尼真的早就应该信主了。二十三年都
没有领悟到佛法，真是可惜。如果这二十三年都和主耶稣亲近，她人生应该会过得
更开心。若出家那么久还找不到方向，找不到清净，或许真的与佛无缘。佛不度
无缘人，因为无缘根本无法度。道清和佛祖的缘尽了，开始了和基督的缘分，
这些都是因缘。缘起缘灭。

什么是缘分？有人问隐士。隐士想了一会说：缘是命，命是缘。此人听的糊涂，
去问高僧。高僧说：缘是前生的修炼。这人不解自己的前生如何，就问佛祖。
佛不语，用手指天边的云。这人看去，云起云落，随风东西，于是顿悟：缘不可求的，
缘如风，风不定。云聚是缘，云散也是缘。感情也如云，万千变化，云起时汹涌澎湃，
云落时落寞舒缓。

感情的事如云聚云散，缘分是可遇不可求的风。世上有很多事可以求，唯缘分难求。
茫茫人海，浮华世界，多少人真正能寻觅到自己最完美的归属，又有多少人在擦肩
而过中错失了最好的机缘。或者又有多少人有正确的选择却站在了错误的时间和地点。
有时缘去缘留只在人一念之间。缘即如风，来也是缘，去也是缘。已得是缘，
未得亦是缘。彼此惜缘。

前幾天在車裏聽到這首歌。我還是喜歡動力883，好聽的歌，
不管冷不冷門都會播放出來，不像933，只會播放主打歌。
還有經典金曲，仿佛突然轉臺到972，哈哈。

老了吧，專註流行歌曲的933比較適合年輕小夥子聽。
以前還能把這首歌一字不漏地唱完，如今卻忘了一大半。
人的記憶真的會隨著時光而消失。

喜歡一個人 追求心中所想
豈管別人笑我如何癡狂
沒有牽掛不能放 沒有創痛不能忘
惟有豁開方能超越滄桑

喜歡去做夢 因為夢想很美
滿足了心靈忘記了疲憊
與其整天去怨懟 不如专心去面對
惟有寬懷方能微笑入睡

坦坦蕩蕩月華星光 一片清輝相映入眼宜然
簡簡單單輕風雲淡 伴我上路瀟灑遠走四方
近水繞遠山 芳草連著天邊長
人間處處盡是峰迴路轉

峰迴路轉－劉德華　作詞：邢增華　作曲：巫啟賢　专輯：忘情水

Joke of the month

The Lawyer and the Banker
A lawyer and and a Banker are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that all Banker are so dumb that he could get over
on them, easily. So the lawyer asks if the Banker would like to play a fun
game.

The Banker is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines,
and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, and says that the game
is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you
pay me only $5; you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay
you $500, he says. This catches the Banker's attention and to keep the
lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from The Earth to
the Moon?' The Banker doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket, pulls out
a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer?

Now, it's the Banker's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with
three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses his laptop and
searches all references he could find on the Net. He sends e-mails to all
the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching he
finally gives up.

He wakes up the Banker and hands him $500. The Banker pockets the $500
and goes right back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.
He wakes the Banker up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three
legs and comes down with four? The Banker reaches in his pocket, hands the
lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

Don't mess with Banker.

Why be grouchy when you can be neutral?
Why be neutral when you can be friendly?
- Stonepeace






The meditation center where I teach is in the hills of the West Virginia countryside.
When we first opened our center, there was a man down the road who was very
unfriendly. I encountered him regularly on the long walk I take every day.
It is a quiet forest road with little traffic and I always wave at everyone who goes by.
Whenever I saw this man, I would wave to him. He would just frown at me and
look away. Even so, I would always wave and think kindly of him, sending him loving-
friendliness (Metta). I was not disappointed by his attitude. I never gave up on him.
Whenever I saw him, I waved just as I did with other people. After about a year,
his behavior changed. He stopped frowning. I felt wonderful. The practice of loving-
friendliness was bearing fruit.

After another year, when I passed him on my walk, something miraculous happened.
He drove pass me and lifted one finger off the steering wheel. Again, I thought,
"Oh, this is wonderful. Loving-friendliness is working." Another year passed.
Day after day, when I took my walk, I would wave to him and wish him well. The
third year, he lifted two fingers in my direction. Then the next year, he lifted all four
fingers off the wheel. More time passed. One day I was walking down the road as he
turned into his driveway. He took his hand off the steering wheel, stuck it out the
window, and waved at me.

One day, not long after, I saw him parked on the side of the forest roads. He was
sitting in the driver’s seat smoking a cigarette. I went over to him and started talking.
First we chatted just about the weather and then, little by little, his story unfolded.
It turns out that he had been in a terrible accident. A tree had fallen on his truck.
Almost every bone in his body was broken. He has been in a coma. When I first
started seeing him on the road, he was only beginning to recover. He did not refrain
from waving because he was a mean person. He did not wave because he could not
move all his fingers. Had I given up on him, I would never have known how good
this man is.

轮回

中国民间流传人在投胎前喝了“孟婆汤”，就会忘掉过去。哲人柏拉图认为
灵魂投胎前饮用“莫愁河”的清凉河水，就会对过去遗忘殆尽。罗马人则相信
人在投胎时所经过的河叫做“奈思河”，喝了此河的水，对前生的事再也记忆不起。

宗教都承认轮回的存在：道教主张长生不老；基督教、天主教认为人生的目标
在于进入天堂和上帝同在，获得永生；一般的民间信仰也渴求人生不死；
佛教认为人生终极的目的，在于证得无生的境界，也就是解脱轮回、不受后有
的境界。

人既然无法知道有过去、未来，在现实生活中如何得之轮回的确实不讹呢？

蚕结茧成蛹，蛹破茧成蛾，蚕、蛹、蛾三而一，一而三。

“你怎么可以偷摘我的桃子呢？”

“我没有偷你的桃子呀！”

“桃子是我种的，你明明在吃，怎么还想狡辩？”

“你的桃子是种在地下的种子，而我吃的桃子是长在树上的果实，和你有什么相干？”

偷桃人与主人的一番辩驳，孰是孰非不妄加定论，但这车轱辘话里藏着什么呢？
桃子是地下的桃子长成的，彼此具有轮回的关系。

这不就是活生生可以眼见的生命轮回么？！

轮回，并不是一个信仰体系与理论；轮回，更不是用来逃避人生冷酷无情的最后
裁判──死亡的心理安慰。轮回，是一门解释我们前世与来生的精确科学。

相信人世有轮回，并不是佛教要我们如此去相信。当我们对轮回有正确的认识，
才能对过去与未来做一番的回顾与前瞻。愚昧有情众生不能相信轮回的至深道理，
无怪乎古人慨叹：“非经不能陈此事，非佛不能道此言。”
