2020/12/16(三)修道修心,你的心修了嗎?之1——濟公活佛慈語:為師的徒兒是不是都傻傻的?傻人有傻福,徒兒們若真的傻,那也是傻得可愛,但是現在社會上的人都是外表看起來好像很能幹的樣子,內心卻是空虛的,一種是精明,一種是傻勁,你們是屬於哪一種?把你的心充實起來,充實之謂「美」,外表看起來不怎麼樣,但內心是美的,才是「真修」的人,愈修愈年輕美麗了。現在的修道人,慈悲心較容易,謙卑心較困難。學習謙卑的心,虛心求教,虛心去學習。古時人忠孝不離心,現代人忠孝不離口,上口不上身。每一個人的心思都不一樣,就好像琴。不同的心理,所彈出來的音也就不一樣;有弦的琴可以撥弄聲音,無弦的琴亦可撥出聲音,你可以用自己的心境演奏出來。人心變,局世也在變,人人皆需花一點心,來耕植此心。因此,人若不覺醒,有幾世可以浪費呢?
(三)修道修心,你的心修了嗎?之 (1)
Cultivate Tao is to cultivate your mind, is your mind cultivated?濟公活佛慈語:為師的徒兒是不是都傻傻的? 傻人有傻福,
Holy Teacher's merciful words: Are my disciples all fools? Fools always get the fortune from Heaven,
徒兒們若真的傻,那也是傻得可愛, 但是現在社會上的人都是外表看起來好像很能幹的樣子,
My disciples, if you are really a fool, then, you are cute and lovely. Someone in the society may look very sharp and smart,
內心卻是空虛的,一種是精明,一種是傻勁,你們是屬於哪一種?把你的心充實起來,充實之謂「美」,
but the mind is very empty. One is smart, the other one is foolish, which one do you belong to? Fill your heart, the fulfillment is called " Beauty"
外表看起來不怎麼樣,但內心是美的, 才是「真修」的人,愈修愈年輕美麗了。
The one who seems ordinary in appearance, but has a beautiful mind is beautiful, this is the " practical cultivator" the more he cultivates, the younger he becomes.
現在的修道人,慈悲心較容易,謙卑心較困難。學習謙卑的心,虛心求教, 虛心去學習。
Nowadays, Tao cultivator is easier to have compassion but more difficult to have humility. You must learn to be humble, humble to ask for preaching, humble to learn.
古時人忠孝不離心,現代人忠孝不離口,上口不上身。
The ancient people kept loyalty and filial piety in mind, people nowadays keep loyalty and filial piety on their mouth, only saying it but not doing it.
每一個人的心思都不一樣,就好像琴。不同的心理,所彈出來的音也就不一樣;有弦的琴可以撥弄聲音,
Everyone's mind is different, just like a piano, different mind, the sounds they played are different;an instrument with strings can make sounds,
無弦的琴亦可撥出聲音,你可以用自己的心境演奏出來。人心變,局世也在變,
A stringless instrument can also make sounds, you can use your mind to play it. The human's mind is changing, the world is changing too,
人人皆需花一點心,來耕植此心。因此,人若不覺醒,有幾世可以浪費呢?
Everyone should spend some effort to cultivate the mind. Therefore, if one can not be awakened, how many lifetimes can be wasted?
我們都是一個空木桶
We are all an empty barrel
一位木匠砍了一棵樹,把它做了木桶。一個裝糞,就叫糞桶,眾人躲著。
A carpenter cut a tree and made it into a bucket. One for collecting manure called a dung bucket, of which everyone distances themselves from.
一個裝水,就叫水桶,眾人用著。一個裝酒,就叫酒桶,眾人品著。一個裝錢,就叫錢桶,眾人喜愛。
One for water is called a water bucket, and everyone uses it. One for wine is called a wine barrel, and everyone tastes it. One for holding money is called a money bucket, which everyone loves.
一樣的桶裝不同的東西,命運就不同。人生亦如此,有什麼樣的觀念,就有什麼樣的人生,有什麼樣的想法,就有什麼樣的生活。
Different things in the same barrel have different fates. The same is true in life. Your thoughts and perspectives will dictate the type of life you have.
省思
Reflection
在凡業中學習對治習氣, 如文人習氣,富貴者習氣, 明白是法平等,無有高下。
Learn to culture habits in daily life, such as the habits of literature and the rich, and understand that the law is equal and there is no superiority.
在聖事中面對異見, 守持修柔與忍辱功,難行能行,難忍能忍,圓滿正道。
Facing different opinions in the sacrament, maintaining gentleness and tolerance. Perform the difficult, bear the unbearable, and tolerate the intolerable to perfect the Tao.
結論
Conclusion
韓大仙慈訓:所謂日行一善,處處都能行善,不是只有有形的才是善,
Han Daxian merciful words: The so-called one act of kindness per day, you can do well everywhere, not only the tangible is good,
你念頭一善,那也是善。同時賢士也要時時韜光養晦, 守住你的真主人。
if you think good, it is also good. At the same time, talented people should always keep a low profile, Keep your true master.
