古老、傳統又現代的中國樂器~笙

隨緣是一種懂得看透因緣、放下執著的智慧

隨緣是一種懂得看透因緣、放下執著的智慧,也因為懂得「隨緣」,所以
能夠在不勉強的心態下,接受不圓滿,
能夠在困難與困頓中,仍要活得自在:

「有什麼快樂,不會在時間的洪流中淡去呢?」
「有什麼傷害,不會在放下的理解中撫平呢?」
「有什麼困難,不會在面對的忍耐中度過呢?」

身為一個凡人,
有時候,我們仍不免心中淌血,
但還好我們懂得一點佛法的道理,
所以我們懂得隨緣,也深信著以上的道理,

因此在得與失之間:
雖然有悸動,但不會衝動;
雖然有感動,但不會激動。

雖然有期望,但不會執著;
雖然有失望,但不會怨恨。

讓覺悟的人生意義,成為生命的一部分

為何我們對於親友的生離、死別,乃至人際間的愛恨、恩怨很難放下?
那是因為覺悟的人生意義並未深植入心,並昇華為生命的一部分,我們仍只是運用我們的世俗想法與慣有的期待,在面對我們的人生!

此時,要清楚地知道自己正「因執著而受苦」,我們才會知道要去思考人生「真正快樂的方向」在哪裡?從而讓我們的心性有改變的可能。

我們應藉由「對苦之生起、苦之原因」的多方深入觀照,來讓自己能時時憶念到修養心
靈的價值,如此,我們的人生才有可能逐漸超越諸種煩惱與苦痛的束縛。

觀 心 ‧ 制 心


【 觀 心 ‧ 制 心 】 - 法藏法師 

平時多拜佛、禮懺、誦經、念佛,
培養內在實質的穩定心力,
並養成隨時觀心的覺性習慣,
如此方能調伏自己的心性,
遇境而不顛倒。

瀟灑走一遭生命


【瀟灑走一遭生命】

死亡平等與必然,無關乎身份地位;

我可以為己努力,用一輩子的價值;

換個灑脫的離開,一個自在的死亡;

不再煎熬的悲戀,用智慧面對死亡;

找回生命的尊嚴,笑笑走向那光明。
