修行

  Change-the most constant thing in this world. Without change, a person cannot develop awareness. This path of practice that I take leads me to my own awareness leading to the true nature of life. Life is not ideal. Day by day, I know that as I go through it, I experience a lot of things and these experiences sometimes fail to live up with my own expectations. The unenlightened life that I go through and the way I see this world that I live for is my own suffering.

  Cause has its own effects. It is true that everything in this world arises with cause and conditions and also ends with cause and conditions. What we do now, will surely have an effect on our lives tomorrow or the days after that. That is the outcome of the things that we do or the decisions that we make everyday. To have a good outcome, the path that we should take should always be middle way. It means that there should be no extremes in life. Everything should be balanced to transcend the suffering that we experience. In addition, making the right decisions may mean that we should put efforts in our own actions. Having the right mind and action I know will eventually lead my path to an enlightened life which is my ultimate bliss.

  (世界上最恆常不變的事就是——變化。如果沒有變化,我們的覺性就不能顯發。修行,讓我終能找到自身的覺性,進而認識生命的本來面貌。生活並不能盡如人意,每天的經歷中,都有許多事情不能如己所願。不如意的生活和我看世界的角度,就是我受苦的原因。

  有因必定有果。世間上的每一件事都從因緣而生,也從因緣而滅。我們今日所做的事或所下的決定,必定在明天或未來產生結果。如果想得到好的結果,就必須依中道而行,凡事不能太過極端,每件事都做得不偏不倚,才能避免受苦。此外,要想作出正確的決定,代表我們應當善加注意自己的行為。有正確的思想及行為,才能讓我達到覺悟,這才是最究竟的快樂。)
