寧靜的心跡 (23) 把握每一個相愛的機會


這是一個佛家的故事:有一天佛陀問身邊的弟子:"人的一生有多長?" 一位弟子答道:"長達數日。" 佛陀聽了說:"你還沒有進入佛門。" 另一位弟子答道:"在一頓飯之間。" 佛陀說:"你還不懂得佛法。" 第三個弟子答道:"只在一息間。" 佛陀讚嘆:"說得很好!你已經領悟法義了。"

人生短暫,只在呼吸之間,因此我們要及時到達相愛和寧靜的境界。佛家的故事告訴我們,人生的長短不在於生存時間的長短,而在於對生命的認識和把握。如果能夠意識到生命的短暫,我們就會更加珍惜當下,把握每一個實現自己的理想的機會。

每個真正的機會只出現一次,因為下一次已經是不同的時空。所以每個機會都是獨一無二的,而且都可能是實現目標的關鍵。未來孕育於當下,把握當下的機會,就是將未來掌握在自己的手中。

有很多因素會讓我們錯過機會。我們錯過了這一次,難保下次不會錯過。如果能夠把握每一個機會,我們就不必擔心錯過下一個。

每個機會都蘊藏著獨特的可能性,要體驗生命的獨特和豐富,我們也不應該錯過任何機會。如果我們總是寄望下一次,那就代表著機會越來越少。因此,只有把握每個機會,我們才能到達自己心中的目標。

人生的崇高目標是相愛。如果我們今天不相愛,明天相愛的機會就很低,但如果今天能相愛,那麼明天不相愛的機會也很低。因為相愛是心靈的融合,融合不易,分開更難。然而,唯有覺醒,我們才能把握相愛的機會。相愛是互相培養,彼此共享所有。能夠認識自己,我們才能把自己分享。當我們認識到自己對豐富人生的渴望,就會更願意與別人分享,因為分享越多越豐富。

相愛著的靈魂像盛開的花朵,把甜蜜和芬芳給予蜜蜂和蝴蝶,與世間共享。相愛和共享是人生的根基,也能止息人與人之間的所有紛爭。這也是人生的必修課,若能在生命大限到來之前完成,我們就不枉此生,因為已實現存在的最高價值。珍惜每一個機會去實現這個理想,人生就會碩果纍纍。

The path to Tranquility (23)
Grasp every opportunity to love each other


This is a Buddhist story: One day the Buddha asked the disciples around him: "How long is the lifespan of a person?" One disciple replied: "It is as long as several days." After hearing this, the Buddha said: "You have not yet entered the door of Buddhism." Another disciple replied: "Between a meal." The Buddha said: "You still don't understand the Dharma." The third disciple replied: "It is only between a breath." The Buddha praised: "Very well said! You have grasped the meaning of the Dharma."

Life is short, only between breaths, so we must reach the state of mutual love and tranquility in a timely manner. The story from Buddhism tells us that the length of life is not determined by the duration of time, but by our understanding and grasp of life. If we can be aware of the brevity of life, we will cherish the present moment more and seize every opportunity to realize our ideals.

Every true opportunity only appears once, because the next time is already in a different time and space. So every opportunity is unique and may be the key to reaching our goals. The future is born in the present, and seizing the opportunities of the present is to hold the future in our own hands.

There are many factors that can cause us to miss opportunities. If we miss this time, there is no guarantee that we will not miss it next time. If we can seize every opportunity, we do not have to worry about missing the next one.

Every opportunity carries unique possibilities. To experience the uniqueness and richness of life, we should not miss any opportunity. If we keep hoping for the next time, it means that opportunities are becoming fewer and fewer. Therefore, only by seizing every opportunity can we reach the goals in our hearts.

The noble goal of life is loving each other. If we do not love each other today, the chance of loving each other tomorrow is low, but if we can love each other today, the chance of not loving each other tomorrow is also low. Because loving each other is the fusion of souls, fusion is not easy, and separation is even harder. However, only by awakening can we seize the opportunity to love each other. Loving each other is mutual cultivation and sharing everything with each other. Only by knowing ourselves can we share ourselves. When we recognize our own desire for a rich life, we will be more willing to share with others, because the more we share, the richer we are.

The soul in mutual love is like a blooming flower, giving sweetness and fragrance to bees and butterflies, sharing with the world. Mutual love and sharing are the foundation of enriching life, and can also stop all disputes between people. This is also a required lesson in life. If we can complete it before the end of our life, we will not have lived in vain, because we have achieved the highest value of existence. Cherish every opportunity to realize this ideal, and life will be fruitful.
