與大家分享這段感人的影音

(錄自新唐人電視台)

佛州州長夫人的優雅、慈悲與淡定

令我想到唐朝詩人王維的

「行到水窮處,坐看雲起時」

隨遇而安,淡定承受的瀟洒悟道。

短短的一段錄影,感人至深。


人生際遇 -

以橋牌比喻,

拿到什麼牌是天注定,

然而如何打牌則操之在我。

《生活不在於握有一手好牌,

而是在於打好你手上的牌

喬許·比林斯 

Josh Billings 1818 – 1885 )名言。


生活中發生的事

是業力,也是我們決定的結果。

因果業力, 還有我們的抉擇

影響我們的人生,

不只是現在、未來的果報定律,

也是靈性得以修鍊成長的

宇宙法則。

Fortunes and misfortunes of life - metaphor of bridge :

《 Life consists not in holding good cards

 but in playing those you hold well.

- Josh Billings1818 – 1885 


The events happen in our lives 

that is karma, also is direct results of the choices we are making. 

Causal karma and our chose affect our lives,

not only present and future effect

but also laws of the cosmos 

for purify spirituality 

and spiritual growth.

幸福 - Happiness

 


盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 


我們祈求幸福時

應先求諸於己 -

是否心中有愛?可以給予他人溫暖與祝福?


以無私的愛,謙和的態度

給予他人支持與鼓勵,

互相尊重和平相處,

世間自然會充滿愛與幸福。


When we pray for happiness 

we must rely ourself -

Is there love in the heart ?

Can we give warmth and blessings to others? 


If people can be humble, selfless,

unassuming attitude to give others support, 

warmth and blessing,

respect each other and live in peace, 

naturally will feel happy

and the world will be full of love and happiness.

唐詩《送友人》- Poetry of the Tang Dynasty 〈 Farewell to a Friend 》

 


盈珍攝影 - Ying Chen photography 

青山橫北郭,白水繞東城。

此地一為別,孤蓬萬里征。

浮雲遊子意,落日故人情。

揮手自茲去,蕭蕭班馬鳴。


 《送友人》唐代詩人李白 

(西元701 -762 )~


如此傷感的詩詞

令我感慨:

人生聚散有時。

生命中的悲歡離合,

愛別離苦的無常,無奈,

是我們需瞭悟的人生八苦

 生、老、病、死、愛別離、

怨憎、求不得、五陰熾盛 - 

色、受、想、行、識五蘊,

其中一種或幾種

過於強盛,會像烈火燃燒般

炙烤身心,失去本有的清淨。)


人生所有的苦皆因執著而來,

如果能夠看透萬物因緣

放下執著,才能遠離痛苦。

心靈才有可能清淨自在。


Green hills beyond the northern city walls.

Surround the east side with waterfalls. 

Leave here to travel alone. 

Sad farewell to my friend - a wanderer is like 

floating cloud,

reluctantly part like setting sun.

Waiving hands while you are on your way,

the horses scream constantly,

seems reluctant to leave.


 ~ 《 Farewell to a Friend 》Li Bai 

 701 -762 AD )Poetry of the Tang Dynasty ~


Such sad poetry

make me quite emotional :

There are times when life is gathered and scattered.

Ups and downs in life,

the bitterness of parting 

sometime us impermanence, helpless. 

We need to realize 

there are eight sufferings in life ( birth, old age, sickness, death, separation of love, resentment, unwillingness, and the five aggregates of form, 

feeling, thinking, behavior and consciousness are 

too strong will roast your body and mind like a fire, losing your original purity. ) 


All the suffering in life comes from attachments. 

If we  can see through the causes of all things 

and let go of attachments, 

then we can get away from suffering

and keep our mind clean and free.
