Preaching The Dharma

无论是壁画或石窟佛菩萨雕像, 都是古人对佛菩萨仰慕的呈现。 一笔一画一雕一刻把庄严及壮丽显现出来。 如果你有那一丝毫地用心去观察, 那栩栩如生的眼神,不就在对你我说法吗? Whether murals, grottoes or sculptures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas’, they are expressions of artists’ reverence…

The Five Peaks

众生习气多难调伏,喧哗污染不缺其一。 求富求保佑,真的是福智还是贪痴? 香火虽茂盛但烟熏得透不过气。 眼睛流的泪是被熏出来的,还是因悲伤以分不清。 感叹菩萨无量的悲心,不离不弃众生。 法师说习俗难断,禁不了。 但菩萨不用凡夫的感情去思维。 心有如箭头穿射过。 那箭头惊醒梦中人。 无分别心就是菩萨法门也就是不二法门。 Sentient beings’ negative habits are hard to break, with noise…

The Great Wall

讲到万里长城就会连想到秦始王的残暴、孟姜女的悲伤和梁文福的《历史考试前夕》。 那天到长城就只想到上万的冤魂。 末法娑婆少有慈悲的政治,多半是“财色名食睡”在统治天下。 历史演说着酸甜苦辣的人生。 梁文福唱着:“万里长城长,没有历史长” 我说:“历史长,没有轮回苦长”。 Talk about Great Wall and one will think of Emperor Qin’s brutality, Meng Jiangnv’s…

Go Eat Tea

茶与禅分不开或许是赵州禅师的原因吧? 一句“吃茶去”如今仍然是禅宗著名的公案。 我喜欢喝茶却不知禅。 我只管“吃茶去”! Tea and Zen are inseparable, perhaps due to Chan Master ZhaoZhou? The “Go Eat Tea” has…

The Flower And The Butterfly

从小就被灌输花有多美,多漂亮。。。 认识无常后,它对我述说着故事的另一面。 花始终和万物一样会随无常去。 为何让花与蝴蝶分离? 毕竟它们比较需要彼此。 We were taught since young that flowers are beautiful… After getting to know impermanence, it…

The Dandelions

蒲公英没有牡丹的美,也没有莲花的清净。 不起眼,甚至还类为野草。 但它有它的淡定和与世无争的姿态。 在风雨中,无论齐全或欠缺,做了本分不就已足够了吗? Dandelion has no beauty of a peony, or the purity of a lotus. Unremarkable and labelled…
