過去的我與人互動
是君子之交淡如水。
對於周遭事物也漠不關心。
學佛修行後
改變了我的人生。
守戒律
不殺生：不傷害眾生的生命。
不偷盜：不取不屬於自己的財物
不邪淫：不破壞人倫道德，
不介入他人感情、婚姻。
不妄語：不說謊、惡口、搬弄是非或綺語。
不飲酒：不飲用會令人心智迷亂的酒類。
持戒是修行的基本。
能讓身口意保持清淨。
持戒時，內心沒有煩惱與焦慮，
心念容易集中、平穩，
達到清淨的定力。
心定則可開發本具的智慧。
佛法五戒
並非束縳
而是為超越世間困惑
令身心安樂。
當我們犯錯時
自欺欺人又擔心事跡敗露
內心猶如住藏惡靈
永無寧日且必受果報。
如果能持戒修善，
不但自身安寧
還能成為良好典範。
能以寬容慈悲待人。
不計較得失。
漸能伏住煩惱、習氣。
以平常心看待悲歡離合
生老病死。
粗茶淡飯，簡單樸實，修身養性
可以改變我們生活
也能令世界更美好。
In the past,
my interactions with others were characterized by a detached.
I was also indifferent to the things
around me.
Practicing Buddhism has changed my life.
Keeping the Precepts :
Non-killing (Refraining from taking life) :
Do not harm the lives of any living beings.
Non-stealing ( Refraining from taking what is not given) :
Do not encroach property or wealth that does not belong to us.
Refraining from sexual misconduct :
Do not engage in behavior that destroys human morality and ethics,
and do not interfere in other people's relationships or marriages.
Refraining from false speech :
Do not lie, no abusive speech,
no frivolous speech, do not make mischief.
Refraining from taking intoxicants :
Do not consume alcohol or substances that confuse the mind and disrupt mental clarity.
Keeping precepts is the foundation of spiritual practice.
It keeps the three modes of karma
(physical, verbal, and mental) pure.
When we observe the precepts, our hearts are free from afflictions and anxiety.
The mind becomes easily focused and stable, allowing us to attain a state of pure concentration.
With a settled mind, our inherent wisdom can unfold.
The Five Precepts of Buddhism are not restrictions, but rather a path to transcend worldly confusion and attain peace of mind and body.
When we make a mistake, deceiving ourselves while fearing exposure makes it feel as though a demon lives within us.
We find no peace, and retribution is inevitable.
If we can uphold precepts and cultivate goodness, we will not only find inner peace but also become a noble example for others.
Treat others with tolerance and compassion.
No longer dwelling on gains and losses.
Learning to master worries and habits.
Face life’s joys, sorrows,
ups and downs,
aging, and death
with a calm and peaceful mind.
A simple diet and a humble life foster character
they can transform our lives
and make the world a better place.
