33.《轉化的妙用》 "Magical Transformation"

多數人在生命力強的時候，不會有信仰上的問題。當生命弱的時候，便會想要尋求宗教的依靠。



近來幫一位生病師姐迴向之餘，也打電話問候她，她說：「生命真的很無奈！」病痛強迫令你承受，你無法說不。但更有意思的是，她去複診時看到更嚴重的病患時，她卻忍不住得掬下同情的淚。


「惻隱之心，人皆有之。」就是在自己脆弱的當下也會生起。這個悲心生起的當下，自己由脆弱的角色翻轉成了強者，這就是心的轉化，受與施的轉化，迷與悟的轉化，無奈與有意義的轉化。





Most people when they feel a strong vital force within them do not have issues of faith. However, when they feel vulnerable, they will seek to rely on religion as a source of refuge.


Recently, I helped an ailing Dharma sister. Apart from my typical line of duty, I also called to greet her from time to time. She said, "life is really fragile!" Physical pain forced you to endure them, you cannot refuse. Interestingly, when she went for a return hospital visit and saw other patients in more severe stages of illness, she could not help but shed tears of sympathy.


"Compassion is in everyone." Even in a fragile moment of our own weakness, our companssion will arise. The moment compassion emerge, we switched our roles of being weak into the mighty. This is the transformation of the mind, the transformation of the receiver and the giver, the transformation of the confused and the realized, the transformation of the helpless and the meaningful.

32.《天無絕人之路》

「天無絕人之路」，尤其是您是個外國人想學藏密的佛法，不用害怕語言文字的障礙，不用怕人事的障礙，不用害怕智力的障礙，只要您真的想學，真的肯學，您一定可以學會，法派傳承加持力一定讓您滿願！您在無力感的情境中，一直不要放棄目標，您可能遇到許多的障礙，您可能一直沒有品嚐到法喜的滋味，可是，您不退的信心與柔軟低下的追求態度，已經具足了高貴的佛法情操與堅忍的情懷！這已是法的增上。




一切都是幻化的，所以一切的障礙都是幻化的，但業力是真實有的，往佛道也好，世、出世的善業也罷，甚至是惡業，這些業的力量能不停的累積，一直自過去、現在帶到未來，所以是功不唐捐的。甚至不善不惡或渾渾噩噩的力量也如是。
