生命之光

The Light of Life

阳光早餐

Sunshine Breakfast

每个人都是负责任的，很多人说“我知道这个道理，但我做不到”，这也是习惯造成的。比如，我们会告诫自己下次不再说恶口了，对人要善和一些，结果事一来，讲恶口更厉害；说“下一次这个事，我不做了”，但一到事上就又管不住自己了。 这就是习惯，并不是说我们不负责任了。

生命的运行过程整个就是觉悟。 我们可以一点一滴、一个事情一个事情地觉悟：不愿意负累了，就去觉悟它；不愿意陷入这个沼泽地，去觉悟它；不愿意强执，去觉悟它；不愿意陷入这种骄慢——顺利的骄慢、增上的骄慢、善好的骄慢等等，就去觉悟它。这样一点一点地觉悟，一点一点……全部都觉悟了，那就圆满觉悟。

在跟随师父慈法法师学习佛法的过程中，常有抑制不住的感动与受益，我真诚地愿意对同参道友尽一份供养的心，尽可能地把师父随机开示的记录整理分享给大家。记录的内容主要是日常生活中出现的某一个角度的问题，希望我们能够举一反三、触类旁通地去观察、觉悟整个人生，依法唤起对本净本具美妙的缘起作用，使我们的人生变得美好与丰富多彩。

We should be especially enlightened in things that happen frequently in our life. For example, family members, co-workers and friends tend to harm and wear down one another all the time – something that we find ourselves habitually doing if our awareness is low.

We are all responsible individuals. We often hear people say that “I know the theory, but I just can’t do it.” Well, this is because our habits stand in the way. For example, we can tell ourselves not to say anything offensive and try to be kind to others, but when something does happen, we might say much meaner things to others. We often swear “I won’t do it again ” to ourselves, but then we lose control when things actually happen. This is how habits work and it doesn’t mean we are irresponsible.

Life is all about enlightenment. Let’s become enlightened bit by bit through each and every encounter. Get tired of being overburdened? Be enlightened in it. Hate to be swamped in? Be enlightened in it. Feel reluctant to hold firmly onto something? Be enlightened in it. Want to keep our head above the water of arrogance caused by our success, progress, or doing good? Be enlightened in it. We can become enlightened little by little until eventually we can be enlightened in all things at all time, attaining full and perfect enlightenment.

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.
