週六網路共修預告(２０１６年１２月１７日)
#面對生活
.
咱們愛自己不是壞事，但愛過了頭呢??
有位同修告訴我這麼一段小故事，值得你我去深思……
.
「你相信嗎？我跟妻子結婚十幾年了，明明是枕邊人，卻不曾看過妻子素顏的模樣，不管我每天起得多早，妻子都已經梳妝打扮好了，從妝髮、衣服到鞋子的搭配都絲毫沒有瑕疵，若要評價，那用『完美』二字來形容也不為過。交往的起初，我被這種『完美』的外貌所吸引。但婚後，妻子依舊整天全副武裝，簡直比職業軍人還要敬業。每當我回到家想放鬆，看到妻子的臉，總讓我非常不自在，就好像是對著『面具人』在過生活，心裡總有說不出得彆扭。也因為妻子有『外表完美強迫症』，只要有一絲不完美，精神上就會陷入極度的痛苦之中，嚴重影響了彼此的生活，這讓我不知該如何是好！」
.
你是否曾被「我」這個概念給障礙住？
很多人會被臉面、尊嚴與榮辱所障礙，而佛陀曾提示過，「修行」是為了要離苦得樂，學會放下、學會改變自我，還有一項需要不斷修得就是達到「無我」的境界。
.
我們又該怎麼破除「我」這個愛美病的迷障呢？
.
歡迎大家週六準時與我會面，一起從「面對生活」的態度，琢磨如何從「我」走向「無我」的境界，祝福大家吉祥如意！

Global Online Group Practice on Saturday (17 December 2016)
It is not wrong to love oneself. What if we fall on the extreme?
A fellow practitioner shared a story which is worthy for us to ponder.
He said: “I have been married for more than 10 years. Do you believe I have never seen my wife without her make-up? Whenever I awake, she would already have her make-up on, nicely dressed with matching shoes and hairdo. “Perfect” is not an exaggerated appraisal for her.
During our courtship days, I was attracted to her “perfect” appearance. After our marriage, she continues to apply full make-up. Seeing her painted face makes me unable to relax when I am at home. I feel I am facing a “masked person.” There is an unspeakable awkwardness in my heart. My wife is obsessed with perfection. She would be in agony with any slight trace of flaw. It affects our lives and I don’t know what to do.”
Have you been baffled by the concept of [ Self ]? Many people are confounded due to dignity, honor and disgrace. The Buddha teaches that [ Cultivation ] is to liberate ourselves from suffering and gain happiness. We must learn to let go, change ourselves and constantly practise to achieve the state of [ No-Self ].
How do we remove the shroud surrounding [ Self ] and move to a state of [ No-Self ]?
I welcome all to meet me online this Saturday to explore [ Facing Life ]. Here’s wishing everyone auspiciousness.
