修行人与上师

Written by
十月份在中国探亲时,我买了一本藏传佛教宁玛派大堪布希阿荣博写的书,名字是《次第花开》。书里面最打动我的,是希阿荣博对他的上师法王如意宝的感情。看到这些内容,就想到我们的师父妙天禅师。我虽然只见过师父一次,但通过禅修,对师父的佛的证量和慈悲,感触越来越深。自己能跟着师父修印心禅法,机会稀有难得,只有深深感恩!

努力禅修

Written by
下面是我最近與Monterey地區同修作的分享。 = = = = = = = = = = = 不時聽到親友、熟人得重病甚至去世的消息, 很同情、惋惜。我想,如果他們趁身體好的時候就參加禪修,堅持打坐,很可能躲過這一劫。禪修以前,自己常常身心疲憊,心臟工作無力,通過禪坐有很大的改觀。禪坐可以接到宇宙的大生命力,能使人的身體脫胎換骨。我雖屬剛學邁步,但相信有這回事。有的身體尚可,但不愉快,對人、事放不下。自己也這樣,在苦海裡掙扎。現在有了些變化,禪修像燈,讓心裡亮堂了許多。地獄或天堂,就在一念之間,的確如此!禪修太好了,是最具智慧和價值的“投資”,得盡全力做才行。妙天師父曾說(大意):如果有計劃,並加以執行,禪修的效率將是別人的十倍。我冒昧建議,大家都訂一個禪修計畫,並好好執行。我的計畫是:特殊情況除外,每天老實打坐,每週參加共修,並參加禪修營,還要多幫助別人禪修。願與各位共勉。

真正低调的人

Written by
真正低调的人 来源:道德网站      真正有大智慧和大才华的人,必定是低调的。才华和智慧像悬在精神深处的皎洁明月,早已照彻了他们的心性。他们行走在尘世间,眼神是慈祥的,脸色是和蔼的,腰身是谦恭的,心底是平和的,灵魂是宁静的。正所谓,大智慧大智若愚,大才华朴实无华。

    我的一點禪修心得  自從2009年7月參加蒙特瑞的禪修班,至今已經2年多了。從最初希望解決睡眠問題初衷到現在結識了這麽多可親可敬的同修,覺得收獲真是不小。 雖然常常覺得打坐枯燥,還得不斷地與腿痛,妄念和懶惰較量,也看不到那種日新月異的變化。但是,往往過一段時間再回顧,就會發現自己無論在健康上,在精神上,都有令人驚喜的改變。盡管我還是那個我,很多舊有的習性仍然在我修行的路上拖拽著我,但是我得到了內心的祥、平靜和自信,不僅睡眠狀況得到了徹底的改善,其他的健康問題也都或多或少地改善了。還得到了這麽多相互關心的兄弟姐妹。   去年7月份參加Jessica辦的新班,雖說是去幫助護持新班,從表面看來好像是奉獻了我的時間幫助新同修,但是,我發現實際上是新同修幫助了我,12個新同修把jessica的客廳坐得滿滿的,每個人都認真地實踐,和大家一起分享自己的體驗,我從中獲益不少。更確信了禪修不分早晚,同修完全平等的道理。特別是在最後一個星期二的課上,兩年多來我從來沒有找到的無始脈輪,突然清晰地跳動起來了,這個意外的驚喜使我明白了,只要大家坐在一起共修,無論資深資淺,我們共同營造的氣場使每一個在場的人獲益了。共修時,你既是奉獻者也是獲益者。 當我們新班搬入我們新租的蒙特瑞禪堂上最後幾課時,有新同修擔心禪堂租金高,大家承擔有困難。我把我的體會告訴她;這個禪堂充滿了能量,大家都有貢獻,只要你加入共修,你在禪修中獲益,你也是一名貢獻者。因為一兩個人共修和一二十個人共修,禪堂的能量一定不一樣。所以,只要你來,你就是在奉獻。沒有必要為不能奉獻金錢而擔憂。 我記得曾經讀過震堯師兄(周末給我們上課的老師)一封信,他說“不要因為我們一句不得體的話或者不好的態度,傷害了其他同修,使得他們不願意來共修了,讓他們失去了這個寶貴的禪修機會,這是非常可惜的(大意)。”信中流露的懇切態度令我非常感動,使我明白,每一位同修對我們每一個人來講,都是非常珍貴的。我希望有一天我們的禪堂因為同修太多而不得不換成一個更大的,我也希望那些曾經對我有過幫助的新班同修,能夠繼續和我們在一起,為身體的健康,為心靈的祥和,一起努力禪修,精進。
