從愛心出發

我不鼓勵人放下世界跑去森林隱居等等，只不過那真的有好處。因為我知道對你們所有人來說，那很難做到。我不能老是鼓勵那些你們不可能做到的事，幾乎是不可能的事。你們盡力而為就好，師父力量會永遠幫助你們，等到你們往生的那一刻，你們的功德會倍增，就能夠去很高的境界，當下你們難免會有一點掙扎，即使師父加持你，你也看不到、聽不到，因為你們的注意力太過渙散，你們的心思渙散，但只要你誠心，師父永遠不會離開你。師父都知道，也會大力幫忙，加倍地幫忙。有誠心也很重要，在這個世界，有誰能夠坐下來就馬上專心打坐呢?有一大堆事情要做，貓、狗、丈夫、太太、小孩都需要你們照顧，他們分走你的注意力。所以佛陀總是鼓勵人出家，但是一定要有誠心，不是為了過輕鬆的日子才進入僧團，也不是為了想體驗出家生活是什麼樣子或是為了受人尊重才來，這樣就沒有用，那會比在家人還糟糕。出家並不表示你就會變得更好或修行更好，那也要看你個性、誠心而定。

I don't encourage renunciation or going to the forest and all that. It's just that it really helps. Because I know it's difficult for you, all of you to do this kind of thing. I cannot keep encouraging the things that are impossible for you to do, almost impossible all the time. So, you just do your best. But the Master power will always help, OK? At the time that you depart from this world, your merit will be multiplied so that you can go very high, OK? Right now you have to struggle a little bit, even if the Master's blessings come to you, you also don't see, don't hear because you're so scattered, you know? Your mind is scattered everywhere. But if you're sincere, the Master never leaves you. The Master will know it, and will help you a lot, multiplied. It's the sincerity also that's important. In this world, whoever can sit and meditate and concentrate immediately there are a lot of things to do. Your cats, your dogs, your husband, your wife, your children, they take things from you. They take attention from you. That's why the Buddha has always encouraged people to become monks and nuns, but it has to be with sincerity, you know? Not just to come in just for an easy life, or just to come in to try to see what it's like, or just to be like a reverend person, then it doesn't work; it's even worse that being a lay person. But that doesn't mean that if you're a monk, then you become better or you practice better. It also depends on your personality, your sinceritly.
