加工的苦樂

 語言有很強大的力量。

佛陀說的karma是身、口、意。

因為語言可以大量被複製和流傳,而導致資訊爆發(現在還講資訊爆發好像倒退20年,早就沒有人還在意資訊爆發了)。

所有不正的語言都源自不正的見。


當我說:你所看的所有影片、讀的所有文章,都是別人挑選過編輯過加工過的,有目的的。


更深切的事實是,我們的大腦的作用方式,本來就是把perception與既有的記憶分類結合,並把事物貼上標籤,以毫秒的速度把世界加工後呈現為feelings & mental formations


痛苦? 真的有痛苦嗎?


‘我’不過是一堆地水火風而已,地水火風有痛苦嗎?


‘有苦’是我們的想像、認知,‘有樂’也是我們的想像、認知。

那我們還費盡心思地創造了永樂的天堂、永苦的地獄。

成佛有什麼用?what is the use of becoming a Buddha?

成佛有什麼用?What is the use of becoming a Buddha? This is a rhetorical question often asked by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We always have the presumption that life is for a purpose and every thing we do should contribute to that purpose, otherwise it's useless. This ubiquitous utilitarianism dominates our modern society. It's so deep and prevalent that we can't even recognize we are acting under its influence. I was reading the book "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh this week. He emphasizes on being mindful of one's breath, body movements, feelings and emotions a lot. That means we should be aware of our in breath and out breath at every moment, even when we are doing our work or talking to somebody.  While I seem to know what he's saying, I don't really understand why we should do that? Why should we be aware of our breath when it goes so well automatically? Why do we bother to mind it if human beings have evolved such a long way to make our ...

    News from BBC, by Owen Amos , 20 July 2020 On a cold, dark Mongolian morning, a teenager leaves his family's tent and heads to school through thick, smoky air.It's 06:00 and -20C (-4F). School 107, on the edge of the capital Ulaanbaatar, doesn't open for two hours. But Ochiroo Batbold has a key.   天色未亮、寒風刺骨的蒙古清晨,少年起身離開他的蒙古包,穿過空氣中漫布的白煙,前往坐落在首都烏蘭巴托郊區的「 107 學校」。現在是早上 6 點,氣溫僅僅零下 20 度(負 4 度 F )。距離學校開門的時間還有兩小時,但是少年,奧奇魯‧巴特伯德,有鑰匙可以進入。

一個公案

Sometimes I come up with my own 公案, a philosophical dialogue or question to contemplate. This is a recent one: Master: The Buddha is not confined to his skin. He is everywhere. So if you only see the Buddha as someone in a physical body, you are wrong. The Buddha is present in the entire universe. Student: Dear Master, why do you say the Buddha is everywhere in the universe? I can't see how the Buddha can be found in the farthest star or at a time before the Buddha Shakyamuni. Master: What Buddha? This came to me after I listened to a Dharma talk from Thich Nhat Hanh on "there is action but no actor". Whenever we wonder "who" is doing "what", "when" and "where", we are caught in the wrong perceptions and are blinded by wrong questions. It's like asking "where is the parallel universe?" That's a false question because space and location are in the universe, not the universe is in the space. And this also came to me ...
