We are One (人我之间)

When I see all the colors of nature
I perceive all the treasures to treasure
Just like the leaves that sway in glee
Joy comes to be to those who live as one …

When I hear all the music around me
As the breeze of the heavens surround me
Just like the bees that bring the honey
We’ll be free if only we are one

Forget the “I”
We are bound together
Never come undone
If we just try
We can stay forever
Ever warm and calm

Let there be “us”
We belong and co-exist together
No matter where we’re coming from
Like sister moon and brother sun
We’ll stop the gloom
As long as we are one

When I feel my heart beating inside me
I am still for I know it will guide me
Just like the humming of the drums
A new world starts
When hearts can beat as one

Forget the “I”
We are bound together
Never come undone
If we just try
We can stay forever
Ever warm and calm

Let there be “us”
We belong and co-exist together
No matter where we’re coming from
Like sister moon and brother sun
We’ll stop the gloom
As long as we are one

See you in me, me in you
Then we can build life anew …

When I smell all the scents of the flowers
I can tell they’re not mine, they are ours
Just like the trees that touch the sun
We’ll live in peace
As long as we are one

Just like the wind so soft and calm
We’ll be at ease if only we are one
Like sister moon and brother sun
We’ll find true peace
As long as we are one

「2008人間音緣-青春.希望.愛」青少年歌唱比賽 之(一)

佛光山剃度法語

P/S:很多出家众学长都去美国受三坛大戒去了, 老师要我们把这首歌学好, 等学长们回来时唱给他们听......

佛光山上喜氣洋,開山以來應萬方; 好因好緣多好事,青年入佛教爭光。 發心出家最吉祥,割愛辭親離故鄉; 天龍八部齊誇讚,求證慧命萬古長。 落髮僧裝貌堂堂,忍辱持戒不可忘; 時時記住弘佛法,莫叫初心意徬徨。 為僧之道要正常,不鬧情緒不頹唐; 勤勞作務為常住,恭敬謙和出妙香。 清茶淡飯要自強,粗布衣單又何妨? 生活不必求享受,超然物外見真章。 善惡因果記心房,人我是非要能忘; 深研義理明罪福,慈悲喜捨道自昌。 朝暮課誦莫廢荒,念經拜佛禮法王; 無錢無緣由他去,只求佛法作慈航。 十年之內莫遊方,安住身心細思量; 任他天下叢林好,我居一處樂無疆

Faith In Mind (信心铭) ~转贴

(By Tzung-Tsarn, the Third Patriarch of Dhyana School in China;僧璨大師著)
The Supreme Way is not difficult
If only you do not pick and choose.
Neither love nor hate,
And you will clearly understand.
Be off by a hair,And you are as far apart as heaven from earth.
If you want it to appear,Be neither for nor against.
For and against opposing each other --This is the mind's disease.
Without recognising the mysterious principle
It is useless to practice quietude.
The Way is perfect like great space,Without lack, without excess.
Because of grasping and rejecting,
You cannot attain it.
Do not pursue conditioned existence;
Do not abide in acceptance of emptiness.
In oneness and equality,Confusion vanishes of itself.
Stop activity and return to stillness,And that stillness will be even more active.
Only stagnating in duality,How can you recognise oneness?
If you fail to penetrate oneness,Both places lose their function.
Banish existence and you fall into existence;
Follow emptiness and you turn your back on it.
Excessive talking and thinking
Turn you from harmony with the Way.
Cut off talking and thinking,
And there is nowhere you cannot penetrate.
Return to the root and attain the principle;
Pursue illumination and you lose it.
One moment of reversing the light
Is greater than the previous emptiness.
The previous emptiness is transformed;
It was all a product of deluded views.
No need to seek the real;Just extinguish your views.
Do not abide in dualistic views;take care not to seek after them.
As soon as there is right and wrong
The mind is scattered and lost.
Two comes from one,Yet do not even keep the one.
When one mind does not arise,Myriad dharmas are without defect.
Without defect, without dharmas,No arising, no mind.
The subject is extinguished with the object.
The object sinks away with the subject.
Object is object because of the subject;
Subject is subject because of the object.
Know that the twoAre originally one emptiness.
In one emptiness the two are the same,Containing all phenomena.
Not seeing fine or coarse,How can there be any bias?
The Great Way is broad,Neither easy nor difficult.
With narrow views and doubts,Haste will slow you down.
Attach to it and you lose the measure;
The mind will enter a deviant path.
Let it go and be spontaneous,Experience no going or staying.
Accord with your nature, unite with the Way,Wander at ease, without vexation.
Bound by thoughts, you depart from the real;
And sinking into a stupor is as bad.It is not good to weary the spirit.
Why alternate between aversion and affection?
If you wish to enter the one vehicle,Do not be repelled by the sense realm.
With no aversion to the sense realm,You become one wit true enlightenment.
The wise have no motives;Fools put themselves in bondage.
One dharma is not different from another.
The deluded mind clings to whatever it desires.
Using mind to cultivate mind --Is this not a great mistake?
The erring mind begets tranquillity and confusion;
In enlightenment there are no likes or dislikes.
The duality of all thingsIssues from false discriminations.
A dream, an illusion, a flower in the sky --
How could they be worth grasping?
Gain and loss, right and wrong --
Discard them all at once.
If the eyes do not close in sleep,
All dreams will cease of themselves.
If the mind does not discriminate,
All dharmas are of one suchness.
The essence of one suchness is profound;
Unmoving, conditioned things are forgotten.
Contemplate all dharmas as equal,And you return to things as they are.
When the subject disappears,There can be no measuring or comparing.
Stop activity and there is no activity;When activity stops, there is no rest.
Since two cannot be established,How can there be one?
In the very ultimate,Rules and standards do not exist.
Develop a mind of equanimity,And all deeds are put to rest.
Anxious doubts are completely cleared.Right faith is made upright.
Nothing lingers behind,Nothing can be remembered.
Bright and empty, functioning naturally,The mind does not exert itself.
It is not a place of thinking,Difficult for reason and emotion to fathom.
In the Dharma Realm of true suchness,There is no other, no self.
To accord with it is vitally important;Only refer to "not-two."In not-two all things are in unity;
Nothing is not included.
The wise throughout the ten directions
All enter this principle.
This principle is neither hurried nor slow --
One thought for ten thousand years.
Abiding nowhere yet everywhere,The ten directions are right before you.
The smallest is the same as the largestIn the realm where delusion is cut off.
The largest is the same as the smallest;
No boundaries are visible.
Existence is precisely emptiness;Emptiness is precisely existence.
If it is not like this,Then you must not preserve it.
One is everything;Everything is one.
If you can be like this,Why worry about not finishing?
Faith and mind are not two;Non-duality is faith in mind.
The path of words is cut off;There is no past, no future, no present.

至道無難 唯嫌揀擇 但莫憎愛 洞然明白 毫釐有差 天地懸隔
欲得現前 莫存順逆 違順相爭 是為心病 不識玄旨 徒勞念靜
圓同太虛 無欠無餘 良由取捨 所以不如 莫逐有緣 勿住空忍
一種平懷 泯然自盡 止動歸止 止更彌動 唯滯兩邊 寧知一種
一種不通 兩處失功 遣有沒有 從空背空 多言多慮 轉不相應
絕言絕慮 無處不通 歸根得旨 隨照失宗 須臾返照 勝卻前空
前空轉變 皆由妄見 不用求真 唯須息見 二見不住 慎勿追尋
纔有是非 紛然失心 二由一有 一亦莫守 一心不生 萬法無咎
無咎無法 不生不心 能隨境滅 境逐能沉 境由能境 能由境能
欲知兩段 元是一空 一空同兩 齊含萬象 不見精麤 寧有偏黨
大道體寬 無易無難 小見狐疑 轉急轉遲 執之失度 必入邪路
放之自然 體無去住 任性合道 逍遙絕惱 繫念乖真 昏沉不好
不好勞神 何用疏親 欲取一乘 勿惡六塵 六塵不惡 還同正覺
智者無為 愚人自縛 法無異法 妄自愛著 將心用心 豈非大錯
迷生寂亂 悟無好惡 一切二邊 良由斟酌 夢幻空華 何勞把捉
得失是非 一時放卻 眼若不眠 諸夢自除 心若不異 萬法一如
一如體玄 兀爾忘緣 萬法齊觀 歸復自然 泯其所以 不可方比
止動無動 動止無止 兩既不成 一何有爾 究竟窮極 不存軌則
契心平等 所作俱息 狐疑淨盡 正信調直 一切不留 無可記憶
虛明自照 不勞心力 非思量處 識情難測 真如法界 無他無自
要急相應 唯言不二 不二皆同 無不包容 十方智者 皆入此宗
宗非促延 一念萬年 無在不在 十方目前 極小同大 忘絕境界
極大同小 不見邊表 有即是無 無即是有 若不如是 必不須守
一即一切 一切即一 但能如是 何慮不畢 信心不二 不二信心
言語道斷 非去來今

108歲學佛的修女‏(轉貼)



許哲居士,今年108歲,身材瘦小,行動敏捷;銀絲如雪、耳聰目明;心懷大愛,一生助人。
她是天主教的老修女,於今年 一月二十九日 禮請淨空法師為證明師,皈依三寶。並應新加坡佛教居士林李木源林長之邀,為大家講述她的生活與修學理念。當時以問答的方式進行,編者為方便閱讀,以第一人稱將內容分為十一類,但儘量保持其原話,並融合淨空老法師曾親身至居處訪談之重點,以饗讀者。

此段專訪,已製成影音專輯,歡迎至華藏淨宗學會索取。

我的飲食很簡單,早上喝一杯牛奶,中午吃一些青菜和水果。有時青菜用水燙過,不煮不炒,不加油、鹽,切了就吃。生吃能完全保持蔬菜的養分,水煮過養分就少了一半。晚餐喝一杯酸奶(優酪乳),若不餓就不吃。我從小吃素,因為吃海鮮類,全身會發紅、發癢。
我覺得人不需要吃很多東西,吃東西很浪費時間,先要去買,還要煮、洗,吃完了又要洗碗。假如吃生的,只要洗乾淨,吃了就算了,節省的時間,可以看書,可以做有益他人的事情。
淨空法師告訴我,阿羅漢心地清淨七天吃一餐,我聽到就說:「我來學學看。」淨空法師教我要慢慢的學,現在一天吃一餐,可以學兩天吃一餐,再一段時間,三天吃一餐,這樣時間就更多了。

我從來不買衣服,穿的衣服都是從垃圾筒撿回來的。能穿的,洗一下就穿;不能穿的就修改。我看到世間還有很多窮人沒有飯吃,沒有衣穿,我要去買一件新衣服太浪費了,覺得對不起那些苦難的人。


我自己住一個房子,我除了在書桌及床頭櫃上放一張母親的相片,其他的什麼擺設都沒有。廚房多半是燒水用的。有些社會人士送紀念品表揚我,有的收起來,有的丟掉。有人跟我照相,照了就撕掉,留這個沒有用,這些東西是累贅。

運動
我每天早上四點鐘起床,第一件事是靜坐,其次做瑜珈運動,然後到外面散步,練腳力,下雨天就拿著雨傘行走,從不間斷。現在一星期有兩天出去教人靜坐,我的生活就是這樣簡而有序。

閱讀
我每天一定讀書,有時晚上看到一、兩點,或三點多,如果好看就忘了睡覺。我讀書是有取捨的,好的內容就留下來,不好的就當作陌生人走過一樣,完全不為所動。

修身
我從來不發脾氣,因為發脾氣,第一、傷害自己,第二、傷害對方,第三、其他人聽到也受影響,這個不好。生氣害自己,也害很多人,發一分鐘的脾氣,要三天才能恢復得過來,浪費時間,浪費精神,所以不要生氣。
在養老院裡,如果跟同事們處不好,我總認為是自己不會做人、不會做事,做得讓別人不歡喜。決不說別人的過失。
看到社會上有惡人惡事,就像平常在馬路上看到一些陌生人一樣,完全不落印象。看到好事善人,我會記住,向他學習。

服務
我常講我是一百零一歲的年輕人,我不帶眼鏡,眼不花,耳不聾。我們想老就會老,想年輕就會年輕。假如你腦筋不要想老,一百多歲還是可以做很多事情。我每天都在為眾生做事,我自己不需要照顧自己,我只要照顧別人,我相信老天會照顧我。我這個身體是為一切老人、病人、苦難人服務的工具,天天要利用這個工具。今年一百歲了,還是利用這個工具,這個工具還很好,還沒有壞。
有時人家會給我錢,我自己不需要錢,我就拿這些錢去做好事。我現在照顧二十幾個很窮的老人,每個月送一些米、油、糖和罐頭給他們。如果有人捐錢給我,我就拿這些錢,替這些老人付房租、電費、水費,甚至付醫藥費。我對待每一個窮人,就像對待總統一樣的恭敬。
他們送錢不是給我用的,送這些米、糧食也不是給我吃的,是叫我替他們幫助一些苦難的貧窮人、老人、病人,我是善心人的義工,我替他們送,替他們布施。

慈善事業
我五十歲到英國去學護士,可是年齡太大了,我打了一次妄語,把年齡報小了十二歲。學成之後,幾十年來全心全力照顧病人、老人,把他們都看作是自己的父母,自己的親人。目前在南非、印度、馬來西亞及尼泊爾等地,已有十多所老人院。我目前希望辦一個家庭式的老人院,不是機關、醫院的性質。來到這裡的老人,我們照顧他,就像照顧自己的婆婆、母親、父親一樣,讓每個老人都感到像在自己家裡一樣的溫暖。

進修
我從小受英文教育,中文程度不是很好,但我仍堅持看中文佛經。我讀了佛經以後,認為佛的教誨很好,值得學習。目前正在看淨空法師講述的《認識佛教》。

信仰
我的宗教是「愛」的宗教,永遠愛世人,大家都是兄弟姊妹,這是我的宗教信仰。天主教的教友們,看到我看其他宗教的書,問我為什麼看魔鬼的東西?我說:「我看世界上所有的宗教都是一片光明」。

皈依
我問淨空法師:「我有資格作佛陀的弟子嗎?」法師說:「有!」我說:「我給你做學生。」淨空法師給我皈依證,還有五戒證書,為我作證明,正式皈依佛門。
