2020/12/22 火候篇——行不去處,須知鑲一步之法;行無去處,須知退三分之功。(一)相見容易,相處也容易之1——濟公活佛慈語:徒兒們可能很會在團體中生活,卻不知道如何與自己相處,不知與那個心境相處,平常你可能無法把它調適得很好喔!就像有時你與道親在一起辦事時,會道氣充滿,一但回到家,經過了一個禮拜、一個月,或更長久時間之後,你就不知該如何面對自己了,接下來該如何讓這顆道心保持得像在佛堂時的道氣呢?外在的是人與人的相處之道,內在則是與自己心靈的相處,這就不容易了。是不是?怎樣才叫做隨遇而安呢?不論你們在哪個國家、哪個家庭、哪個工作崗位,都要各安其份,也就是安守你的本份,不要有不平的心。是你的命,就要安你的心、安你的命,把你的心抱持在最平和的狀態。如果你還有怨、忌妒,就很難隨遇而安了。
(一)相見容易,相處也容易之 (1)
Seeing each other is easy, getting along is also easy行不去處,須知讓一步之法; 行無去處,須知退三分之功。
Wherever you can't go, you must know the method of giving way; Getting nowhere to go, you must know the merit of retreating.
濟公活佛慈語:徒兒們可能很會在團體中生活,卻不知道如何與自己相處,不知與那個心境相處,
You may be very adept at living with others, but doesn't know how to live with yourself, and not knowing what kind of attitude to apply,
平常你可能無法把它調適得很好喔! 就像有時你與道親在一起辦事時, 會道氣充滿,一旦回到家,
You may not be able to adjust it well all the time. It's like sometimes when you are working together with Tao relatives, you will be full of moral energy of Tao, but once you get home,
經過了一個禮拜、一個月,或更長時間之後,你就不知道該如何面對自己了,
after a week, a month, or more, you don't know how to face yourself,
接下來該如何讓這顆道心保持得像在佛堂時的道氣呢?外在的是人與人的相處之道,
Next, how do we maintain such heart of Tao? We deal with the Tao of coping with others externally,
內在則是與自己心靈的相處,這就不容易了。是不是?怎樣才叫做隨遇而安呢?
Internally we must cope with ourselves, and that is not easy, isn't it? What is considered to be at ease at all times?
不論你們在哪個國家、哪個家庭、哪個工作崗位,都要各安其份,也就是要安守你的本份,
No matter which country, which family, and which job position you are in, you must fit in with your duty respectively, that is to keep and perform your own duty,
不要有不平的心。是你的命,就要安你的心、安你的命,把你的心抱持在最平和的狀態。
Do not have an unaccepting heart. It's your life, so you must rest your heart, be at ease with your life, and hold your heart in the most peaceful state.
如果你還有怨恨、忌妒, 就很難隨遇而安了。
If you still have resentment and jealousy, it will be difficult to with the situation.
道德經‧第四十九章
Tao Te Ching Chapter 49.
聖人無常心,以百姓心為心。
The sage does not hold their own opinions but takes into consideration the opinion and benefits of all others.
悟道的領導者,內心無執著成見, 以天下百姓望治之民心為己心。
An enlightened leader has no prejudices in his heart and applies what benefits to everyone as their guidance.
備註:此處的聖人如同儒家的聖王。
Note: The saint here is similar to the King of Saints in Confucianism. The constant heart of the saint eliminates all aspects of human attachment. Take the people's aspirations to govern as their own hearts. According to the mentality and customs of the common people in the world, he does not teach others with his own opinion, let alone treat others with a private view or a separate heart.
省思
Reflection
修道是一輩子的事,要懂得破除心中的我(人心),轉識為智,
Cultivation is a lifelong thing; you must know how to get rid of the ego (human heart) and turn your knowledge into wisdom.
打開心中那扇寬廣的心門。惟有覺醒的心,天地才能與你契合(天心)。
Open door to your heart. Only with an awakened heart can heaven and earth connect with you (Heavenly Heart).
結論
Conclusion
濟公活佛慈語:
一、修道要從心地修起,要渡人, 不要忘了渡渡自己,知行合一。
1. Tao should be cultivated from the heart, and must be propagated to others. Don't forget to propagate yourself, so that your understanding and action is one.
二、知與行本來就是一,
要怎樣的知,就有怎樣的行。
2. Knowing and doing is originally one; knowing will lead to doing.
