Saying 阿彌陀佛 is doing and thinking 阿彌陀佛.
苦 is a word and 樂 is another word, they are 2 different words, that is the beauty of Chinese culture. Only at and from 苦 then we can find 樂, otherwise 樂 is not there yet but 苦 is.
The best benefit for every one is, doing 樂 for others and self has 樂 in the same time.
如是
Remember 玉玲 quoted: 樂是苦的開始，也是苦的结束?
ReplyDeleteIn our lifetime, there are many parts, just like 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and 365 days a year, it depends on which part we refer to and it depends on whose life we refer to as well. Shall we point out each part that is and is not 樂 & 苦. There are two important parts are:
ReplyDeleteThe majority of people have experienced and something we are still in searching.
In the end, we have 樂 instead of 苦 that counts, we see it often in the Fortune Teller stuff----The Young age, Mid age and The Old age to summarize one's life.
I don't think you want 樂 to start and 苦 to end. But the reverse. And you definitely don't reject to have 樂 in all your life.
很多人只想要乐不想要苦。其实若果是苦，只要把苦捱过就可得乐。苦不会永远是苦，而乐也不是永久的快乐。在无常的现象当中，我们有苦也有乐。苦乐参半，成为人生。
ReplyDelete能够有机会吃点苦，其实应该把它当作是自己有福气。那些一生都没有吃过苦的人，不谈也罢了。
若然大家都同意人生就是苦樂参半, 然則根據數學常理:
ReplyDelete如 A=B, 而 B不等於C, 則 A不等於C.
在下忽發奇想: ( 請一笑置之 )
1) 人生 = 苦樂参半, 西方極樂世界 = 只有樂沒有苦, 所以人生不等於西方極樂
2) 您接受了人生( 的喜怒哀樂 ), 而人生不等於西方極樂, 所以您接受不了西方極樂
難怪儘管經上說的西方極樂世界如何美好, 天下仍然充斥著年邁蒼老但還不願去的大師, 罪過! 罪過!
( 請記住要一笑置之 )
How about if I say three of us are right about 苦 and 樂, simply because we are 50+ and have seen somehow enough of something....but if we use Buddhism terms:
ReplyDeleteBoth 苦 and 樂 are from our view(s), others shall see differently...just like the old saying "Drinking water, one feels its temperature"...
The same concept about "Right or Wrong" in Buddhism: It teaches us to know "Right or Wrong", forgive others when it comes to "Mistakes made" but confess and change when it comes to ours....
如是
我不认为人生可以由数学来推算，因为在人生里头，数学上的等号（=）在我所讲的人生之中是起不了作用的。
ReplyDelete这个是这个，那个是那个，虽然这个好像那个，但这个并不等于那个，而这个也不能代替那个。
我的数学不行，我不懂得用数学去计算人生。
讲厉害，你真厉害呀！
舌劍唇槍皆下品,
ReplyDelete養性修心為上人.
在下寫的祇是一些皮毛, 指鹿為馬, 為大家提供一點生活情趣, 但求博君一哂, 於願已足, 故不能算是厲害。 您小姐潛心修佛, 遨遊天下, 無牽無掛, 那才是真正的難得, 佩服! 佩服!
