智慧法语 14/12 ：生命起落

11/12 : Small Matters, Say Sorry?

Came across a buddhist blog which mentioned something interesting :

"There are those who expect apologies for small matters,while not apologising for small matters.

There are those who expect apologies for small matters,while apologising for small matters.

There are those who don't expect apologies for small matters,while not apologising for small matters.

There are those who don't expect apologises for small matters,while apologising for small matters."

Which one are you?

~ Not sure which category I belong..depends on situation I guess. Anyway, better to strive towards the last category. Not expecting is the best way to avoid disappointment..while apologising on small matter is necessary if it can resolve misunderstandings. Not apologising on small matters (whether intentional or unintentional mistakes) reflects one's ego...and the fear of losing it. ~

智慧法语 7/12 ： 生活中的琴弦

“在生活中，应该以轻松却不轻浮的态度来处理事情。就像琴弦，也只有在不松不紧的时候，才能奏出美妙的音乐。”

故事一则 3/12 ：和尚与鹰

老鹰有一次被捕鸟机困住，恰好有一和尚路过，把他救起。

后来，老鹰看见和尚赶路。累了就坐在一堵危墙下面休息，十分危险。老鹰就飞过去抓走了和尚的包袱，和尚起来追赶， 於是老鹰就又把包袱丢了下来。

等和尚捡回包袱，回到原处，发现他曾待过的地方，墙已经倒塌了。和尚因此对那只知恩图报的老鹰非常感激，因为老鹰也救了他一命。
