Death and the Capuchin Crypt

"What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be."
A quote found in the Capuchin Crypt

A good reminder and material for contemplation on death, mortality.

Extend the quote to contemplate on the nature of life, on birth, aging and sickness, and cultivate gratitude, appreciation for the current moment.

Fear of My Weaknesses

"Don't fear knowing your weaknesses, fear not knowing."

爱, 否.

爱, 否.

"不管爱过与否, 真爱无法述说, 无法了解, 只因每一个人的爱都不一样. 爱, 只能用心, 用人生去体会. 幸福的恋情, 不一定就是爱, 伤过, 痛过, 也许才是爱. 把眼泪当作珍藏爱情回忆的水晶瓶, 把心痛当作回忆爱情的放映机, 回忆爱的幸福, 回忆情的痛苦, 也许这才是爱情的美丽."

A Leaf

A Leaf



 
I was once a fallen leaf on a gentle river, flowing but never knowing
I thought I was the river, gentle and flowing but not knowing I was the leaf
Then a gale of wind blew me up in the sky, howling with uncertainty
I was now a fallen leaf in the wind, running through the sky but not knowing
I thought I was the wind, howling as if it was suffering but not knowing I was the leaf
Then, slowly it dawned on me

I was not the river, I was not the wind, I am just the leaf
No matter where the river flows, no matter where the wind blows, I know I will be back to the earth
The place where it all begins and the place where it all ends
I know, I am a leaf

实如梦 真如幻
心起异 无处静
异起苦 寻静乐
乐似乐 苦非苦
心如常 如静处
梦是梦 幻如幻
乐是乐 苦是苦
无无处 梦幻处

领悟, 也是一种福报

领悟, 也是一种福报

佛经云: "縱經千百劫，所作業不亡，因緣會遇時，果報還自受。"

听了这句话, 有所感触, 若恶报呈现于外在, 现时心灵的修行可让受的苦少一点, 若果报呈现于内在, 哪幸福就离我们越来越远。珍惜每一刻心灵的领悟。我应学习不畏惧该受的恶报, 而该害怕不识因果的心, 不珍惜感恩福报的呈现, 不珍惜感恩种好因缘的机缘, 虚度了光阴。每一刻的领悟, 也是一种福报, 领悟不是理所当然的。感恩

愿一切众生幸福安康

阿彌陀佛
