三條魚的故事 . . 大河中有一對魚兄弟…

三條魚的故事
.
.
大河中有一對魚兄弟，一條名字叫想太多，一條名叫想太少，牠倆是情同手足的兄弟，另外還有一條魚叫_想剛好。魚兄弟倆想從森林大河游到人類居住的環境裡遊玩，想剛好覺得不妥，就對兄弟倆說：『這裡環境很危險，漁夫會用魚網捕捉我們，大家還是回森林去吧！』
.
然而，想太多和想太少這一對兄弟，因為懈怠猶豫，又對食物貪執，遲遲不肯動身。『 好吧！明天就走 。』但明天到來時，他們又說隔天，就這樣一天拖一天，日子過去了三個月，最後他們還是不肯走。
.
一天，想太多和想太少為了吃魚餌，鑽進魚網內竟出不來了，想剛好看見，便咬破網線，救出兩兄弟。
.
兄弟倆萬分感激想剛好，但他倆懶散怠惰、只顧享樂的習性並不曾悔改。後來幾經轉世，想太多和想太少，成為同門師兄弟的出家人，他們懈怠懶惰的習性仍然深重。
.
有一次，他們要來參見佛陀。便把旅途中的糧食都準備好，卻依然只說著：『明天再走吧！明天再走吧！』一個月時光過去了。好不容易他們才真正出發了，來見佛陀時已經遲到許久了。
.
佛陀見到兩人時，便斥責他們不該蹉跎時光，無常緊追在後，一個人究竟有多少生命可以浪費？佛陀為他們說法。他們深切懺悔，並將過去陋習斬斷殆盡，順利脫離了輪迴苦海，悟道得證。
.
原來，當初咬破漁網拯救兄弟倆的那條魚(想剛好)，正是釋迦牟尼佛的前身。而森林代表彼岸，魚網就代表世俗的享樂陷阱。
.
這故事告訴我們，怠惰和偷懶的習性，是障礙前進的最大阻力。人們總說著我今天忙，我明天再開始修行，或今天累了讓我休息一下…
.
要知道，無常是緊隨左右，一日不精進就是一日的損失，世俗享樂就像漁網，眾生被困在其中還不自知呢！慎哉！
.
今天是5月1日勞動節，動起來吧！
六度中，唯有勤奮能戰勝懈怠， 戰勝自己多年的陋習！
祝福大家，身體健康，健康快樂！！

＃佛教故事、＃根除怠惰習性、＃不找藉口、＃即刻修行rnrnThe Story of Three Fishes

Once upon a time, there was a pair of fishes who were brothers and lived in the river. One of them was called Think Too Much, and the other was called Think Too Little. There was another fish called Think Just Right who lived in the same river. One day, the brothers decided to swim from the river in the jungle to the place where the humans lived. Think Just Right had a bad feeling about the place and warned the brothers: “This is a dangerous place. The fishermen will try to capture us with their baits and nets. Let us return to the jungle!”

Think Too Much and Think Too Little however, hesitated. They were complacent and were greedy for the abundant food found there. “Ok! We shall go back tomorrow.” But when tomorrow arrived, they would procrastinate the return by another day. Before they knew it, three months had passed.

One day, the brothers got lured into a fisherman’s net by the baits. They panicked when they realized that they were trapped. Fortunately, Think Just Right saw what happened and managed to bite through the nets to release them.

The brothers were grateful to Think Just Right for the rescue but they did not change their ways. They were still as complacent, lazy, and as enamored of the worldly pleasures as before. A few lifetimes passed. Eventually, Think Too Much and Think Too Little reincarnated to be dharma brothers in the same monastery. Even as monks, they were still as complacent and lazy.

One day, the dharma brothers decided to make a trip to pay their respects to Buddha. They finished their preparations and were ready to start the trip, but they kept telling themselves “Let’s begin the journey tomorrow!” One month passed before they finally began on their journey.

The moment Buddha saw them, he reprimanded them for the procrastination and for wasting their time. Knowing that life is unpredictable, how can you continue to waste the days of your lives? As they listened to Buddha, the dharma brothers repented deeply and finally resolved to change the bad ways of their past. At that moment, they attained enlightenment and were liberated from the sufferings of reincarnation.

Remember the fish Think Just Right who rescued the brothers from the net? That was Buddha in his previous life. The jungle is akin to the shores of liberation while the fishing net represents the traps of the pleasures in the secular world.

Moral of the story: complacency and laziness are the biggest obstacles to our growth. We always have plenty of excuses to justify our laziness – we would claim to be too busy today, promise to practice the next day, or simply claim to be too tired.

We ought to remember that life is unpredictable. A day spent without diligent practice is a day lost. Secular pleasures are like the fishing net that traps all sentient beings! This is something we need to be aware of, and be cautious about!

Today is Labor Day. Let it be a day of action for us!
In the Six Perfections, only diligence can overcome complacency, overcome the years, we have been held back by our bad habit of complacency.

May all of you be blessed with good health and happiness!!

    師父吉祥，弟子收到，自從一年前生病後體會到生命的無常，這半年來日日練功5小時。現在習慣了，也很享受練大光明，也提升了修鍊的感受，實實在在的能量籠罩全身，一通百通，師父傳授的各項功法神妙無比，謝謝師父，我愛您^_^
    弟子會精進修練，日日5小時，師父說過精進修練就是對師父最大的供養，頂禮我最最尊貴的佛師，感恩師父再造之恩！

  10. 感恩师父教诲！习性是阻碍前进的最大阻力。有时心情不好就觉得特别累，就不想练，就是说明天吧，是这样的。五一，从小过这个节日，不知是什么心情。习性有时很难克服，不那么容易。从小一有印象就怕毒死，记得有一年，姐姐捡了好多马肉，那时很小，姐姐干活回来，见大家都吃，问我为什么不吃，我告诉她我看他们吃了死不死再吃，那时是吃一点肉，有时会吐。一个很小的孩子，一年难得吃肉，但就怕毒死。长大以后，水杯总是随身携带，直到禅修以后才放下这个心结。在克服偷懒的毛病。

  12. 感恩师父慈悲开示与分享！感恩师父教诲！怠惰和偷懶的習性，是障礙前進的最大阻力。根除怠惰習性、不找藉口、即刻修行！一定听师父的慈悲的教导！唯有勤奮能戰勝懈怠， 戰勝自己多年的陋習！5月1日勞動節，動起來！祝愿师父师母节日快乐！开开心心！吉祥如意！

  13. MASTER. Did you get my message? Your Xin is hiding from my message regarding the bodhi meditation in Los Angeles diamond bar..I seen too much illegal activities and auctions there. I mind my own business. I live a simple life with Buddha’s. But sometimes even Buddha, gets hungry for money. I am sorry for coming at you with situation,
    Regarding scandalous, out of proportion gossip and incidents. Regarding volunteer at the center. They don’t listen to your message,
    They go there because they don’t know how to live. They need you. Billy Ping Kuo

  22. 感恩师父分享故事，弟子想想自己也是想太多或想太少，懒惰还为自己找借口，这次回国就没日日修练，还贪吃美味，回来就受惩罚了，皮肤过敏，不敢吃还受熬煎，感恩师父，感恩佛陀又让我清醒起来，弟子要克服懒惰，好好修练，好好念佛，戒除贪婪，消灾灭难，找回健康！

  23. 感恩佛师慈悲用心良苦决不放手，为弟子们离苦得乐时时刻刻的如説服小朋友们耐心善巧拉着我们前行???顶礼叩拜尊师???佛师五.一劳动节快乐?师兄师姐们五.一劳动节快乐???????感恩叩拜顶礼恩師我们进精修行不要愉懒永恆跟随師父永不改

  29. 师父我今年早晨起的比较晚，都是六点钟，以前我是五点起做大礼拜一小时，然后在做饭送孩子去幼儿园再去走八卦！今年我心态总是…所以师父我就不知道怎么了！那个心总感觉有压力！师父我也懒惰了！其实不是懒师父！我也不想懒惰，就是说不出来的感觉〒_〒

  32. 感恩师父讲的故事弟子谨记：佛陀斥责他们不改蹉跎時光，无常紧追再后，一个人究竟有多少生命可以浪費？一日不精进就是一日的损失，世俗享乐就像渔网，众生被困在其中还不自知呢！慎哉！

  35. 感恩师父的教诲。生命中有太多不如意都与懒惰有关，要想成功就要想好了就去做，明日复明日，万事成蹉跎。怠慢和懒惰会障碍前行的信心与步伐，修行只有精进才能消除业力，提高心性获得觉悟智慧。无常和明天我们不知道哪个会先来，所以修行已是燃眉之急，只有珍惜今世稀有之缘，尊师重教听话照做，跟随师父永远前行！
