Words of Wisdom 24/10 : Dharma Rain

2008-10-24T20:25:00.006+08:00

"When you listen to a Dharma talk, just allow the rain of the Dharma to penetrate the soil of your consciousness. Don't think too much; don't argue or compare. Playing with words and ideas is like trying to catch rain in buckets. Just allow your consciousness to receive the rain, and the seeds buried deep within will have a chance to be watered." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh - 'Cultivating the Mind of Love'

Words of Wisdom 3/7: Understanding Karma

2008-07-03T13:08:00.006+08:00

Pitfalls of Wrong Understanding of Karma

When something bad happens to you,

you might wallow in misery, resigned that it's your inescapable bad Karma.
When something bad happens to others,

you might sigh that it's just their bad Karma, and do nothing to help.

When something good happens to you,

you might become complacent, thinking your good Karma will last.

When something good happens to others,

you might become jealous that they have good Karma.

Benefits of Right Understanding of Karma

When something bad happens to you,

you have an open attitude to make the best of it, and better your Karma.

When something bad happens to others,

you help because they might have the good karma to be helped by you.

When something good happens to you,

you cherish it because it might not last, and remind yourself to do more good.

When something good happens to others, you rejoice in their merits and encourage them to do more good. ~ Shen Shi'an

A Story To Share 21/2 : Poverty

2008-02-21T08:42:00.009+08:00

POVERTY

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" " It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked."Oh yeah," said the son. "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them." The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

~ I came across this story from a website and find it interesting and meaningful to share.
Who is wealthy and who is poor? We tend to judge it based on our own perspectives, which could be wrong and narrow minded at times, just like the wealthy father. Most people thought that having a big house with garden, pool and servants will give them happiness.. And didn’t realize the fact that true happiness, comes within our own mind…not elsewhere, and certainly not from the material comforts that we have been busy grasping at.. ~

故事一则 13/2 ：蜘蛛的启示

2008-02-13T16:52:00.005+08:00

有三个互不相识的人来到一座废弃的房子里面避雨。不久三个人的目光被同一件事情吸引住了：在房子的一面断墙处有一只蜘蛛正在结网，但是一阵风吹过，它的网被挂在墙上的东西穿开了一个洞，于是蜘蛛赶快爬过去开始补它的网，可是还没有补好，又刮来了阵大风，同时还有些雨水洒了进来，蜘蛛被打落到地面上，而它的网也一下子变得支离破碎起来。

看来蜘蛛会离开那个网了，可是没想到的是，蜘蛛居然从湿滑的墙面上艰难地爬过去，又开始修补它的网了。避雨的三个人看到这样的情景，对这只蜘蛛的行为开始有了各自不同的看法。

第一个人叹了一口气，充满怨由地想到：“唉！这只蜘蛛的表现正如我的一生一样，虽然一直在忙忙碌碌万分辛苦，可是最后却一无所得，看来我们的命运都是这样悲惨不会再有什么改变了。”

第二个人在一旁很冷静地看着还在继续结网的蜘蛛，然后很不屑一顾地自言自语说道：“这只蜘蛛真是太愚蠢了，它竟然不知道遇到问题的时候要用头脑来认真思考，只是一味地埋头苦干，这样怎么可能找到解决问题的办法呢？”

第三个人专注地看着一次次重新来过的蜘蛛，他的心灵被蜘蛛这种顽强拼搏的精神深深打动了，他想：“如果我具有了蜘蛛这种执著的精神，做事情就一定可以取得成功！”

雨停了之后，这三个人离开了房子，然后开始各自的生活。第一个人由于他一直带着悲观的心态去生活，所以日渐消沉，精神也一天天地颓废起来，生活陷入困境之中。第二个人由于他遇事善于思考，总是聪明地使自己避开那些艰难险阻，因此他很快就从一个默默无闻的人变成了一个小有名气的智者。第三个人带着从蜘蛛那里得来的敢于拼搏不怕失败的顽强精神投入到工作，最终获得了巨大成就，被大家公认是最成功的人。

这个看似简单的故事，给予我们对道理思考却是深刻的：心态积极的人所见万物都是积极向上的，而心态消极的人看见的人生多半是破败颓废。

所以当我们在遇到像蜘蛛那样一再被命运捉弄的境况时，不要灰心，要调整好自己的心态，敢于去同失败斗争，敢于在失败中磨练自己的心智，只要你不放弃，坚持给自己一个积极的人生，那么生活中再没有什么风雨可以阻挡你走向圆满与成功。 - 常静

“像一尊佛。” 佛印接着问东坡，“你看我坐禅的样子怎样？”
“像一堆粪。” 东坡揶揄地说。
东坡回家后，高兴地告诉小妹：“我今天赢了佛印禅师。”

苏小妹不以为然地说：“其实你今天输了。佛印心中有佛，所以才看你为佛；你心中有粪，所以才视禅师如粪。”

11/12 : Small Matters, Say Sorry?

2007-12-10T13:54:00.000+08:00

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. ~

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。

故事一则 5/11 - 八风吹不动，一屁打过江

2007-11-05T09:46:00.000+08:00

宋朝苏轼在江北瓜洲地方任职，和江南金山寺只隔着一条江，他和金山寺的主持佛印禅师经常谈禅论道。

有一天，苏轼觉得自己修禅大有进步，立即提笔赋诗一首，派遣书童送给佛印禅师看，诗云：

嵇首天中天，

毫光照大千；

八风吹不动，

端坐紫金莲。

（注：“八风”在佛教里指的是“利、衰、毁、誉、称、讥、苦、乐”等八种影响人的情绪。）

禅师看了诗，保持卢笔批了两个字，就叫书童带回去。苏轼以为禅师一定会赞赏自己修行参禅的境界，急忙打开禅师的批示，一看，只见上面只有两个字：放屁！苏轼气坏了，乘船过江找禅师理论。没想到佛印禅师早站在江边等待了。

苏轼气呼呼地说：“禅师！我一直拿你当好朋友。我的修行，你不赞赏也就罢了，怎可骂人呢？” 禅师若无其事地说：“骂你什么呀？” 苏东坡把诗上批的“放屁”两字拿给禅师看。禅师哈哈大笑：“哦！你不是说自己‘八风吹不动’吗？怎么‘一屁打过江’了呢？”

苏东坡惭愧不已。

Joke of the Day 31/10 -Don't Mess With Kids (2)

2007-10-31T12:51:00.000+08:00

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at
the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands
of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your
hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said,
"Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

故事一则 26/10 ：退步原来是向前

2007-10-26T09:11:00.000+08:00

布袋和尚契此曾受田家斋饭布施，田家向他求道：“何谓道？” 契此答曰：
“手把青苗插满田，低头便见水中天。六根清静方为道，退步原来是向前。”

农人插秧，一面低头，一面往后退。正因为低头，才能看清楚水田中倒映的蓝天；正因为退步，才能把所有的秧苗全部插好。我们往往认为退一步代表懦弱，失败；其实，退让不完全是消极的。在适当的时候，选择退一步，让自己的心清静下来，反而是积极修道的表现。就像双浆必须往后划动，船舶才能前行，同样的道理。
原来有时候，退步其实是向前。。 - 与你共勉之~佩仪

Words of Wisdom - Changes is the Basis of Life 21/9

2007-09-21T08:47:00.000+08:00

"The work of acknowledging everything in mindfulness leads us to a deeper view of what life is.
It is very important to understand that impermanence is not a negative aspect of life. Impermanence is the very basis of life. If what exists were not impermanent, no life could continue. If a grain of corn were not impermanent, it could not become a corn plant. If a tiny child were not impermanent, she could not grow into an adult.

Life is impermanent, but that does not mean it it not worth living. It is precisely because of its impermanece that we value life so dearly. Therefore we must know how to live each moment deeply and use it in a responsible way. If we are able to live the present moment completely, we will not feel regret later. We will know how to care for those who are close to us and know how to bring them happiness. When we accept that all things are impermanent, we will not be incapacitated by suffering when things decay and die. We can remain peaceful and content in the face of change, prosperity and decline, success and failure." - Thich Nhat Hanh
