2020/12/05 心念篇——聖人求心不求佛，凡人求佛不求心；智者調心不調身，愚人調身不調心。故當善護其心，一心傾，則證菩提。（一）當你有心結時，如何打開之1——濟公活佛慈語：怎樣才能「改變自己」？想想自己的心結到底在哪裡？到底為了何事而想不開？為什麼走不出來？受到什麼阻礙？要把這些問題看清楚，為什麼會做不到，問題在哪裡？為什麼常會覺得很為難，是不是個性上的問題？為什麼會覺得很無力？為什麼人家可以走得很好，而我卻重心一直都不很穩？是哪裡生病了？修道不是都講「轉念」嗎？聽課都聽那麼多了，會不會轉？過於恐懼，就沒辦法得其正！過於好惡也沒辦法得其正啊！你修道修得愁眉苦臉，什麼原因啊？心結沒打開是不是啊？修道身心不健康，讓人家覺得是變態，可不可憐啊？修到最後，腦袋裡不裝道理，只裝一些是是非非，可不可悲？身為前面的人，你腦袋裡裝著某人怎樣啊！某人要改進啊！那是最可悲的。每個人都有眼睛，每個人都會看，現在人最大的毛病，就是多説少做，有沒有感覺?
（一）當你有心結時，如何打開之 (1)
How do you undo the 'knots' in your life聖人求心不求佛,凡人求佛不求心;
Sages seek from within themselves and not from Buddha, ordinary people seek from Buddha and not their hearts,
智者調心不調身,愚人調身不調心。
wise people adjust their thoughts and not their appearance, foolish people adjust their appearance and not their thoughts
故當善護其心,一心傾,則證菩提。
Guard our hearts virtuously. Single heartedly adopt Bodhi ( The Supreme Wisdom) as our chosen and proven way of life.
濟公活佛慈語怎樣才能「改變自己」？想想自己心結到底在哪裡？到底為了何事而想不開？為什麼走不出來？
How do I change or improve myself? Think about exactly where the "knots" in your life are? What caused you to be unable to let go? The reason why you are unable to let go?
受到什麼阻礙？要把這些問題看清 楚，為什麼會做不到，問題在哪裡？
What is hindering you? Clearly understand the issue, and the reasons you are unable to overcome them. Why do you feel it is difficult, awkward, and embarrassing ?
為什麼常會覺得很為難， 是不是個性上的問題？
Is it because of your own individual character or personality?
為什麼會覺得很無力？為什麼人家可以走得很好，而我卻重心一直都很不穩？是哪裡生病了？
Why does it feel impossible? Why is it that others can lead a good life and you can't? Is there something wrong with you?
修道不是都講「轉念」嗎？聽課都聽那麼多了，會不會轉？
In Tao cultivation, we often talk about " reconsider or rethink our thoughts and look at things from a different perspective" But are you able to do so?
過於恐懼，就沒辦法得其正！過於好惡也沒辦法得其正啊！
If you constantly live in fear, it will be impossible to improve or correct yourself. If your life fluctuates between good and bad, it will also be impossible to be steady and smooth.
你修道修得愁眉苦臉，什麼原因啊？ 心結沒打開是不是啊？
Tao cultivation results in you wearing a worried and miserable look. Why is this so? Is it because your life's "knots" are not loosened or undone?
修道身心不健康，讓人家覺得是變態，可不可憐啊？
When the body and mind of a Tao practitioner remain unhealthy, others will this as weird and abnormal .
修到最後，臉袋裡不裝道理， 只裝一些是是非非，可不可悲？
In the end, the mind is still full of unhelpful and delusional thoughts and beliefs instead of virtuous principles. This is a real pity and tragedy.
身為前面的人，你臉袋裡裝著某人怎麼樣啊！某人要改進啊！那是最可悲的。
As a forefront person, sometimes we are quick to form an opinion about others. We expect to see immediate improvement from them. We forget that we must also learn to change and control our own expectations.
每個人都有眼睛，每個人都會看，現在人最大的毛病，就是多說少做， 有沒有感覺？
Everyone has eyes to see and everyone is capable of seeing. Our current biggest problem is we speak more and do less. Do you realize this?
放下背後而努力面前
let go of the past and work hard for the future
時間是一條沒有迴轉線的單行道, 不會倒流讓我們改變已發生的事；
Time is like a one way street with no turning back. It will not allow us to go back and undo what had happened.
但未來卻是我們可以去創造的。
But we can determine and create our future.
放下過去,努力面前,向著標竿跑, 修道者的一生是竭力向前、向上的。
Let go of the past and work hard for the future. Move forward towards your goals. The life of a Tao practitioner is to always do his utmost, advance forward, and constantly improving himself.
省思
Reflection
當我們走在時間這條單行道上, 抉擇下一步時,要繼往開來,
When we travel on the one-way time path, we have to choose our next move carefully, decisively, carry forward the cause, and forge ahead into the future.
要讓未來沒有遺憾, 要用現在的決定,創造下一個更好的未來。
To have no regrets in the future, we need to decide now that we want to create a better future.
結論
Conclusion
