阳光早餐 | 信息大爆炸时代——依愿而行
生命之光·阳光早餐
The Light of Life · Sunshine Breakfast
我们现在这个信息爆炸的时代，太多信息量了。很多人都可以通过各个角度，去享受大量的信息，这些信息就是个爆炸。在那么多信息量中，我们每一个生命，每一个单体的需求，可行性的选择反而变得很重要。大量的信息不见得是有益于生命单体需要的。
现在经常看到未成年的孩子，他们拿着手机也好、平板也好、电脑也好，任何一个空间，进去了就出不来。为什么呢？因为任何一个好奇的、想选择的、多角度的东西，他们都可以在里面找到。很多大人感觉到现在的孩子管不了，教育不了，就是他们的信息量太大了。父母说些事情，孩子就会藐视，在巨大的信息量面前，父母那一点表达简直是可怜。很多人和人之间的交流就变得很无意义。你经常可以看到一个家庭有几个人，可能就有几个手机在闪光，这再正常不过了。朋友圈子、大家聚会、公共场所，打眼过去，都是这个样子。

现在人类为什么不耐烦、相互地不屑？就是因为知识、信息大爆炸，可选择、参照的东西太多了。人相互的尊重、珍惜、难得，这样的机会太难了。因为从你这儿得不到，从别的方面很快就可以得到。这不是哪个人的过错，也不是这个时代的毛病，是赶到这个地方了，大家称为共业。这个共业会使人想到尊重的理由在哪里呢？过去人难得到，他就会珍惜。现在什么难得呢？什么都不难得！
所以这个时代，可行性的选择太重要了，就是所谓的发心——专注自己的愿望，依愿而行，这就变得重要了。因为外面这些庞杂的信息量太大了，要是我们没有一个清晰的人生愿望来导行，可能每一个人都面临着坍塌，就是信息让你的身心所缘的东西坍塌、变异、无序。是不是每个人都面对着呢？大家真是可以观察。

Make a vow to guide our actions in the era of information exploration
The era of information exploration is characterized by too much information available at once. People can easily acquire and consume information through all sorts of channels. In the face of enormous data，it is very important for us to know what we really need and to make a feasible choice to guide our actions. Information overload is not necessarily a good thing for every individual.
Nowadays it is common for kids to grab a cell phone，an iPad，or a laptop，and get trapped in that cyberspace. Why？They can find anything they are curious about or interested in. Many parents find it difficult to educate their kids because the kids are overwhelmed with massive influx of information. Sometimes kids may look down upon the opinions of their parents because what they express are so limited compared with the information available elsewhere. Thus the conversations between people become invaluable. We often see a family silently sitting there，each with a cell phone in hand. This scene can be seen in parties or any public places when people meet.

Why do people become so impatient or disrespectful？Because the explosion of knowledge and information has overwhelmed us with choices and references. What we can't get from our friends can be easily obtained elsewhere，so it is difficult for us to respect each other and cherish the time we meet and talk. This is not an individual's fault or even the fault of this age，rather the inevitable consequence of mankind's previous actions，something called collective karma that all men have to face. Under this common karma，people may doubt the necessarity to show respect. People in the past cherished what was available to them because exchanging information and opinions was not easy. But what is difficult to obtain in our age？ Nothing！
Therefore it is all the important to make a feasible choice in our era，that is a clear motivation or something we can focus on or rely upon，something we can take as our vow to guide our actions. Otherwise our lives will probably collapse because enormous information outside can disorient，deconstruct，or disrupt anything that we rely upon，such as our career，marriage，wealth，and etc.

Editor's Note
While following our Master Cifa and learning Buddhism from him, very often I cannot help being moved by his targeted instructions and benefit a lot from them. Now, with a sincerely offering heart for you my fellow practitioners, I’d like to try as much as I can to share his instructions with all of you that I have recorded and sorted out. These series of records covered a number of problems from our daily life. Each problem is reflected from a specific perspective. I hope that we can learn by analog to observe and enlighten our whole life, so as, according to dharma, to arouse us to start using the inherent pure Buddha-nature as our wonderful arising condition, and make our life more beautiful, richer and more colorful.
