【週六網路共修】苦修10年,不如一句話
.
.
傳說有一位射箭大師,他教出來的徒弟,都能將箭射進掛在三十步之外一個銅錢的方孔裡,不輸百步穿楊的水準。所以有很多人來跟他學習。
.
其中,有一個人特別聰明,每一次學法,他總是繞著彎兒去套師父不外傳的秘法。
.
這天,師父領著大夥兒到森林練習射箭,一陣風呼然颳起,片片葉子飄落下來,師父突然輪起弓箭,咻,地一聲!眼前飄下的落葉竟被箭整齊地串成一束。聰明的徒弟想著:「哇,這箭根本是神箭啊!我一定要學到這個絕技。」於是就百般思量計策,想套師父說出秘法。師父卻總是笑笑走了,聰明的徒弟百思不得其解,為何師父就是不教他秘法。
.
同一年,師父把這招絕技,傳給了宅心仁厚的大弟子,雖然他平時反應遲鈍,卻特別實在。這個聰明的師弟又想套師兄的話,大師兄說:「師弟呀,我知道你好學,可是如果師父不教我,以我的聰明才智,再過一百年也悟不出來,即使你那麼聰明,也一樣悟不出來的。」
.
大師兄又說:「因為,師父傳授給我的不僅僅是秘法,還有一顆恭敬的心!師父常常告訴我說:『咱們修練,不只是修功夫,而是修心啊。』」
.
讓我們在今天的共修中一起來《認識六度》吧!
歡迎大家一起來暢談,祝福大家在新的一年裡,十全十美,吉祥圓滿 !

【Saturday Online Global Group Practice】
A wise phrase is worth more than ten years of intensive training!

According to legend, there was a great archery master whose disciples were great shooters who could shoot through the square hole of a copper coin from 30 steps away. Thus many people came to learn archery from him.

Among them was an extremely smart person. He would try to sneak for opportunities to pick up special secret skills from his master.

This day, the master was out in the forest with everyone to practice archery. A sudden gust of wind caused many leaves to fall from trees. The master suddenly drew his bow, shot his arrow through a bunch of fallen leaves. The smart disciple thought to himself, “Wow, this is like a divine arrow in action. I must master this special skill.” Subsequently he tried many methods to seek this special method from his master. But his master always responded with a smile and walked away. The smart disciple was baffled, not knowing why his master refused to teach him this secret skill.

The very same year, the master imparted this skill to a senior disciple, one who was slow but a down-to-earth person with a good heart.
This time, the smart disciple tried ways to get the senior disciple to disclose the secret skill. The senior disciple said, Dear brother, I know you are a keen learner. But if master does not teach me, given my intelligence and wisdom, I will never be able to get it even for another 100 years. I doubt you will get it even with your intelligence.”

The senior disciple continued, “What Master taught me is not only the special skill but also the importance of a respectful heart!” Master always says – we practice not only for kung fu, but to cultivate our heart.”

Let’s try to understand “The Six Perfections” in today’s group practice.
Welcome all to join in this discussion.
Wishing all a perfect and auspicious year ahead!

如何創造生命的奇蹟?
.
.
在外國,有一個很有名的作家叫_海倫•凱勒(Helen Keller),她是一位享譽全世界的傳奇聾盲女子,正常人大概無法想像,她從小就得活在黑暗、寂靜和寂寞中,會是怎樣的絕望和痛苦。她是如何跨越天生殘疾,成就非凡呢?
.
在每天的生活中,她必須靠觸摸別人的臉或衣服來識別對方,聞不同的氣味和觸覺,來辨別自己的位置。她憑著一股「精勤不懈」讀了很多書,甚至還追尋更大的夢想,那就是「開口說話」。這對她而言根本是不可能的挑戰,可是她始終沒有退縮,每天刻苦練習。
.
「爸爸!媽媽!」當海倫•凱勒第一次「喊出」親人的名字時,全家人都驚喜的擁抱了她,喜悅的眼淚奪眶而出。一個從一歲多起就又盲又聾的女孩,不但學會了讀書和說話,而且還懂得英語、法語、德語、拉丁語、希臘語五種語言,她還寫了很多文學著作。
.
是幸運之神比較眷顧嗎?還是運氣比較好呢?
其實,她是靠著不斷努力,向世人證明:一個從小就聽不到、看不見的殘疾人士,也可以創造奇蹟。
.
所以,海倫•凱勒的生命是個奇蹟,更是一份「精勤不懈」的「堅持」創造生命的奇蹟,她所付出的苦力,可能遠遠超出大家的想像。而咱們禪修也是一樣的,大家在修行時不在於先天條件的優越與否,而是貴在持恆精進。
.
本周的共修,我們就來聊聊,如何保持精勤的生活態度,創造生命的奇蹟!
.
歡迎大家留言分享你的感想和經驗。
春節即將來臨,也祝朋友們「佳節好運來,狗年旺旺旺!」

#認識六度下、#禪修、#恆心、#週六網路共修預告、#精勤不懈rnrnHow does one create miracle in life?
.
There was a legendary deaf-blind renowned writer, Helen Keller. She was born deaf and blind. She went through life in total darkness and loneliness since young. No one understood her despair, pain and suffering. How did she ultimately overcome her birth defects to achieve extraordinary success in life?
.
In her daily life, she recognized and distinguished between different people by using her hands to feel their faces, material of clothing or their smell. She relied heavily on her sense of touch to move around. Though she was born with physical disabilities, she was relentless in her pursuit of knowledge and read many books. In fact, she had big dreams and hoped to be able to talk one day. This was a given for everyone, but it was a challenging and daunting task to her! However, she persevered and continued her daily practice.
.
“Dad! Mom!” When Helen Keller shouted for her parents for the very first time, the whole family was amazed and embraced her with teary eyes. A girl that was deaf and blind since age one was able to read and speak five languages, English, French, German, Latin and Greek. Not only that, she was able to write literatures!
.
Was it more of a luck or was she plain fortunate?
In fact, she proved to the world through her hard work: even a physically disabled blind-deaf person since young can create miracles in life!
.
Indeed Helen Keller’s life is a miracle. But this miracle is through diligence and perseverance. The hard work she put in may far beyond everyone’s imagination. This is the same for our meditation practice. Our cultivation is not dependent on whether we have a superior start but whether we are diligent in our effort.
.
In this week’s Group Practice, let’s discuss how we can maintain a diligent attitude to create miracles in life!
.
I welcome all to share your thoughts and experiences.
May all enjoy a blessed and prosperous year of the Dog!

在六度:「布施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、智慧。」中
如何真正圓滿「六度」的最高境界,獲得真正的吉祥幸福?
.
傳說在武林之中,有個「傻子」修練功夫,師父讓他每天到城牆邊的每塊磚上點一下。三年之後竟真的煉成了,從此這個人就以「大力金剛指」出了名,很多人都來跟他學。
.
他鄰居想:「從前他是個草包,是個笨蛋,小時候我把他打得鼻青臉腫的,沒有想到他竟能練出這個來,我一定要超過他。」於是鄰居就去拜「傻子」為師,問:「大力金剛指怎麼練啊?」
.
「傻子」說:「你每天也去點一下城牆磚,但是每個磚一天只能點一下。」
.
這人急著出功夫,每塊磚一天點10下,半年之後指頭竟然斷了?這個叫「拔苗助長」,原本想讓秧苗長快點,刻意去拔高它,沒想到一拔就斷掉了,不但秧苗死了,原先預計的收穫也都沒有了。
.
所以,修行的重點不在於快速,而在於堅持、恆心、真誠。唯有修到最宏觀的般若智慧的狀態,把小我、私心的我放下,讓大家更好,才能達到最高佛陀的境界──把小我變成大我。
.
歡迎大家繼續一起和我聊聊,圓滿「六度」的最高境界。
希望今天我傳遞給大家的,都能夠真正地吸收、消化成為自己的法寶,你將會成為一個最早覺悟、最真誠、最慈悲的聖人。
.
祝福大家六度圓滿、健康平安、幸福快樂。
喜歡就請多多分享,多傳多福!!

Newly released : Learn About the Six Perfections – Part 2
.
How do we attain the highest level of the Six Perfections: “Generosity, discipline, tolerance, diligence, meditation and wisdom”? How do we truly gain happiness and auspiciousness?
.
According to legend, there was once a “fool” who practiced martial arts. His master instructed him to use his finger to touch every brick of the city wall. He did that diligently for three years and attained mastery. He became well-known for his finger’s enormous strength and many people came to learn from him.
.
His neighbor thought to himself, “He was once a fool. I used to win him in fights when we were young. Who would have guessed that he became so strong today? I must be better than him.” Thus, his neighbor became his disciple and asked him, “How did you manage to train your finger to be so powerful?”
.
The “fool” replied, “You need to touch every brick of the city wall daily. But remember, only one touch per brick.”
.
This neighbor was eager for result. Instead of touching every brick once, he touched each brick ten times. Half a year later, his finger broke. There is a Chinese saying: trying to help the shoots grow by pulling them upward. The original intention was to let the seedlings grow fast for fast harvest. However, the deliberate pulling of the seedlings caused the shoots to die instead.
Similarly, the essence of self-cultivation is not speed but perseverance and sincerity. Only when we attain the highest state of wisdom, letting go of ego and selfishness moving towards altruism, can we reach the spiritual realm of Buddhahood – a transformation of selfishness to selflessness.
.
I welcome everyone to join me in the discussion of how to attain the highest spiritual realm of Six Perfections. I hope everyone can absorb and benefit from our discussion so that you can attain early enlightenment and be a most sincere and compassionate sage.
.
May you attain the Six Perfections and enjoy health and happiness.
