善解生命課題之 (2)

Understanding life topics

仙佛慈語: 天地萬事萬物的成住壞空,都有一定的道理,
Every happening in the universe has a certain truth

在這成住壞空的過程中,珍惜、善用你 所擁有、所經歷的一切,藉以淬煉智慧、斬斷魔根。
It is along these processes that we should cherish the experiences we have; use it to grow our wisdom and break free from the roots of evil.

遇事要靜下心神,才有智慧化解苦難!
Calm down when encounter conflict, because only with wisdom can we resolve it!

人生不如意之事十之八九,這「不如意事」常令你們煩到不知如何是好?是不是?
Most of the events we encounter life is suffering, and these sufferings often have us not knowing how to deal with them right?

要知道,所有負面的情緒都無法改變事實,只有提醒自己「換個角度想」, 也就是「轉念」,
You must know, none of the negative emotions are able to change reality; so just remind yourself to "think differently" – in other words, change your perspective.

你的念頭一轉,用正念化轉陰暗面的念頭,這時你就無須再強忍、再壓抑自己了,
With a change in perspective, having mindfulness to change the dark side of the mind, then you no longer must endure nor repress yourself.

你可以輕鬆自在的看待一切的得失毀譽,那便是你的「無生法忍」。
You can easily look at all the gains and losses, slanders and praises objective, and that's your " wisdom of forbearnace."

「忍」有三種
There are three kinds of「forbearance 」

第一是「生忍」, 於恭敬供養中,不生憍逸,於瞋罵打害中,不生怨恨.
The first is 「life forbearance 」:In respectful offerings, there is no sorrow, no resentment in abusive and persecuting.

第二是「法忍」, 於寒熱風雨飢渴中, 於惱怒害怕之時,能安能忍,不生瞋恚憂愁.
The second is「dharma forbearance 」 : In the cold, hot, wind, rain and thirst, when angry and afraid, can tolerate comfortably and not be angry and sad.

第三是「無生法忍」。把心安住於不生滅的自性上,就是無生滅,無好壞對待.
The third is 「 Visible and invisible forbearance 」:To rest your mind on the immortal nature is to have no birth and death, no good or bad treatment.

「忍」字,不是只有「忍受」之意, 還含有「認識」、「接受」、「擔當」、「負責」、「化解」、「成就」的意思。
The word 「forbearance 」doesn't only mean 「 tolerate 」 , it also contains the meaning of「knowledge」,「accept」,「assume 」,「responsibility」,「resolve」and 「accomplish」.

「生忍」就是「眾生忍」,即使這個眾生罵我、打我、嫉妒我,障礙我, 我也能忍。
「Life forbearance 」is 「tolerance for all beings」,even if this sentient being scolds me, beats me, jealous of me, and hinders me, I can tolerate it.

我們初發菩提心,修行六度萬行的法門,其中第三是「忍辱」。
We are the first to develop bodhicitta and six ways to cultivate Tao, the third is 「forbearance」.

對於辱境現前,你便要修忍耐,就是有侮辱我的眾生現前了,你就要忍。
When a situation of humiliation occurs, you have to cultivate patience, that is, when sentient beings who insult you appear, you have to tolerate.

我們在世間生活,需要有「忍」的 力量與智慧,來認識、接受、擔當、負責、化解人間的榮辱毀譽、百般事端,進而以此成就修行功德。
In our lives in the world, we need the power and wisdom of 「forbearance 」to recognize, accept, assume, responsibility, and resolve human honors, disgraces, and all things, so as to achieve merit and virtue.

換句話說,成就了「生忍」的修行, 我們才能在人間安然生活,「生忍」便是修行忍辱波羅蜜的初階功夫。
In other words, only after we have achieved the practice of 「 life forbearance 」can we live safely in the world.「 Life forbearance 」 is the initial effort to practice endure Paramita.

第二種叫「法忍」,「法」字, 廣大無邊,世間上所有的一切,包括所有金銀財富、土地房屋、
The second is「dharma forbearance」.「Dharma」,vast and boundless, everything in the world, including all gold and silver wealth, land and houses,

生離死別、憂悲苦惱、人情冷暖、是非善惡等,一切有形無形的,都稱之為「法」。
life and death, sorrow and suffering, human feelings, right and wrong, good and evil, etc., all tangible and intangible are called 「Dharma」.

人在世間的生命、在世間的生活、六道的生死流轉…對於世間上的 許多萬事萬法,我們能以何力量來應對?只有「法忍」的修養。
The life of human beings in the world, the circulation of life and death in the six realms... Regarding the many things in the world, how can we deal with it? Only the cultivation of「dhrama forbearance」.

如果我們能認識世間一切都是因緣所生法,認識了「緣起法」,並且接受、擔當、負責、化解世間一切,
If we can realize that everything in the world is born of karma,  we know the「drama of dependent origination」and accept, bear, take responsibility, and resolve everything in the world.

那就算是成就「法忍」的智慧了。
That would be regarded as the achievement of the wisdom of「dhrama forbearance 」.

「無生法忍」也叫做「無生忍」。如前所述,忍有認識或認可的意思。忍者認也,何謂認呢?
「Visible and Invisible forbearance」is also called 「no life forbearance 」. As mentioned earlier, forbearance means knowing or approving.Forbearance is recognition. What is recognition?

以認路為例,第一次要去某個地方,認方向是較難的,但當去的次數多,你對那個地方也漸漸熟悉,就不會迷路。
Take learning directions as an example. It's difficult to recognize the direction when going to a certain place for the first time, but when you go more often, you become familiar with that place and you won't get lost.

熟悉後,與第一次去的感覺是完全不同的,你會對這個地方, 由認識而生起另一種印象。
When you are familiar with it, the feeling is completely different from the first time you go, you will have another impression of this place by recognizing it.

省 思  Reflection

無生忍更高的層次,不只是衆生與衆生的問題,而是遍及一切事物。
The higher level of life forbearance is not just a problem of sentient beings, but all things.

雖然事物真實呈現在我們的眼前, 讓我們接觸,讓我們感受,但一切之事物不論是人或物,
Although things are truly presented before our eyes, let us touch and feel everything, whether it is a person or a thing,

不論其生死或成壞,全部都不離這個系統,有世界就有這因緣所生的系統,也會是因緣所滅的系統。
whether it is life or death, good or bad, is not separated from this system.When there is a world, there is a system created by this karma, and it will also be a system destroyed by karma.

因緣造成這事物,這事物也會因因緣而離散,沒有一樣東西叫因緣可以做主,而因緣本身亦是由因緣所造成,沒有一個主人在裏面,大家都隨著因緣轉變。
Karma causes this thing, this thing will also be separated because of karma, there is nothing that can be the master, and karma itself is also caused by karma, without a master in it, everyone changes with karma.

結論 Conclusion

一、淬煉智慧,斬斷魔根, 念頭一轉,輕鬆自在。

  1. Cultivate your wisdom, cut off the roots of the evil, turn your mind and feel at ease.

二、人生不如意十之八九, 要有常想一二的智慧。
