從愛心出發

問：我了解我們不用選擇太多，因為反正一切都是命中注定。（師父答：是）既然如此，如果根本沒有轉圜的餘地，為何又說我們得盡力而為？

答：我們努力是為了將來。我們盡力而為，譬如打坐，那是為了天堂的果位，那是不同的獎賞。

問：了解，但是我們能做的真的僅止於此嗎？難道都沒有更可行的辦法嗎？

答：你盡力試試看，如果不成，你就知道命中注定不該如此。不過你還是可以盡力去做，比方說如果你想幫助別人，你隨時都可以做，你不需要命中注定才能幫人。命運是指你會發生哪些事，以及你可以得到什麼；不過如果你想跟別人分享，你想布施什麼，這些事的自主權永遠在你，由你自由決定！你想做任何事利益別人的話，永遠都是你的自由。

如同生活中有免費的事物，靈性層面也是一樣。例如日常生活中，我們有很多事都要付費，但是也有一些事是免費的，像是免費的教育、免費的健康檢查、免費的空氣等等，這些都是免費的。有時政府會提供補助金，可以免費享受，也許不是很多，但是不用錢。

有些人沒錢，或是不想花錢，你知道他們怎麼能每個禮拜都吃大餐嗎？他們跑去那些開幕餐會，或是婚喪喜慶之類的筵席，那裡沒有人會檢查賓客。他們會先查看報紙，上面總是刊登哪兒有這類宴會的訊息，然後他們就挑這些地方，去那兒白吃白喝一頓，接著再到別處。他們整個輩子都吃免費的大餐。

我不是叫你們那樣做（大家笑），只是舉個例子，說明生活中有些免費的東西，你沒錢也可以享受。所以我們生命中可以提供的免費項目就是我們可以給予別人。我們可以愛人，分享修行的訊息、修行的功德和能量。這些事我們可以自由自在地做，沒有人能阻止你。

Q: I understand that we don’t have to choose much because everything is destiny anyhow. (Master: Yes.) So, what does it mean that we have to do our best, if there is nothing to do, anyway?

M: We do that for the future. We do our best, like we meditate. That’s for Heaven; that’s a different reward.

Q: Yes, but is that really all we can do? Is there nothing that’s best for us to do?

M: You try your best. If you cannot do it, then you know it’s not yours. But you try your best in some way; for instance, if you want to help other people, you can always do that. You don’t need destiny for that. Destiny is only what happens to you and what you can have. But what you want to share, what you want to give, is always available. It’s free! Whatever you want to do, which is good for other people, is always free.

There are free things in the spiritual domain, the same as free things in life. In life you have to pay for many things, but there are free things also, like free education, free medical check-ups, free air and so on. These are free. Sometimes, the government has a grant. That’s something free. Maybe not a lot, but it’s something free.

Some people don’t have money or don’t want to spend money. So you know how they do it? They have a party every week! They go to those opening parties or weddings or funerals, where no one checks you. They look at the newspaper, and always there’s some party here or party there. So they go there all the time! They have free drinks and free food, and then go on to the next. The whole of their life is a free party.

I am not telling you to do that! (Laughter) It’s just an example of the free things in life that you could have. So, our free thing in life is that we can give to others. We can love: We can share spiritual news, spiritual merit and spiritual energy. That’s a free thing you can do. No one can stop you.
