娑婆旅游记

那晚我惊吓而醒, 刹那间忘了自己在何处, 忘了自己是谁, 也忘了自己为什么在这里。 第一个念头就问自己为什么没去净土, 是不是错过阿弥陀佛的接引而返回人道? 而自己现在到底身在何处? 把心定住回过神后,仔细看一下周围才焕然大悟,原来在朝圣途中的莫个旅店里。十二天的旅程几乎每晚换不同的旅店, 换到自己都糊涂了。 其实,轮回也如此。在千百万世的轮回中, 我们像换旅馆一样换了数不清的臭皮囊。换到末法时期还没换到紫磨真金身。朝圣旅途中虽然法喜充满,但始终会累会想家。 六道轮回也如此。经过多世的反反覆覆,即使偶尔大富大贵也会空虚不踏实,无有真正皈依处。想到一切要从来多一次就感到巨大畏惧和抗拒。毕竟离‘家’(佛性)实在是太久了,想反朴归真,好好的回家休息。这是对自己的启发。累了,是该回家了,你呢? 好在今世还没糊涂到错过阿弥陀佛的接引。人生嘛,就像旅游一趟,有美景美物,有五花八门稀奇古怪的玩意,牢牢的把我们吸引住。在外玩的太疯狂就会迷失回返家园的白道*,不幸的话会被两边的烈火猛水给灼伤淹没。 如果发愿‘回家’的心不深切,修行不够真诚就放不下对娑婆的眷恋,白道也就看不清。很庆幸的是因有释迦牟尼佛的引路才找到白道。因为离它还是有一定的距离,须要警惕自己不可懈怠,要专注提升修行上的功夫。好好走上白道,能见弥陀的那天也就计日可待。 真悯 *善导大师之二河白道喻:http://www.buddhism.com.cn/jingtu/qt/2hbdy.htm
