摘要:当我们在每个现行中去觉悟的时候,都能负起责任;去承担自心选择带来的结果的时候,也是化每个业力为福德因缘的时候。
对于生活中一些频繁发生的事情,我们更应该觉悟它。比如,家庭成员之间的伤害,单位同事之间、朋友间的相互伤害与减损,稍不注意我们就会掉到这里面,这就是我们习惯性的东西。
每个人都是负责任的,很多人说“我知道这个道理,但我做不到”,这也是习惯造成的。比如,我们会告诫自己下次不再说恶口了,对人要善和一些,结果事一来,讲恶口更厉害;说“下一次这个事,我不做了”,但一到事上就又管不住自己了。这就是习惯,并不是说我们不负责任了。
我们要警觉习气。顺缘了,警觉它;有违缘了,也警觉它。这样我们的生命就开始步入觉悟之旅。
生命的运行过程整个就是觉悟。我们可以一点一滴、一个事情一个事情地觉悟:不愿意负累了,就去觉悟它;不愿意陷入这个沼泽地,去觉悟它;不愿意强执,去觉悟它;不愿意陷入这种骄慢——顺利的骄慢、增上的骄慢、善好的骄慢等等,就去觉悟它。这样一点一点地觉悟,一点一点……全部都觉悟了,那就圆满觉悟。
觉悟,是不可限制的,我们限制不了它。当我们在每个现行中去觉悟的时候,都能负起责任;去承担自心选择带来的结果的时候,也是化每个业力为福德因缘的时候。
The Journey to Enlightenment – part 2
We should be especially enlightened in things that happen frequently in our life. For example, family members, co-workers and friends tend to harm and wear down one another all the time – something that we find ourselves habitually doing if our awareness is low.
We are all responsible individuals. We often hear people say that “I know the theory, but I just can’t do it.” Well, this is because our habits stand in the way. For example, we can tell ourselves not to say anything offensive and try to be kind to others, but when something does happen, we might say much meaner things to others. We often swear“I won’t do it again “ to ourselves, but then we lose control when things actually happen. This is how habits work and it doesn’t mean we are irresponsible.
Therefore we should stay alert to our habits both in desirable and undesirable times. Only then can we embark on the journey to enlightenment.
Life is all about enlightenment. Let’s become enlightened bit by bit through each and every encounter. Get tired of being overburdened? Be enlightened in it. Hate to be swamped in? Be enlightened in it. Feel reluctant to hold firmly onto something? Be enlightened in it. Want to keep our head above the water of arrogance caused by our success, progress, or doing good? Be enlightened in it. We can become enlightened little by little until eventually we can be enlightened in all things at all time, attaining full and perfect enlightenment.
Enlightenment cannot be restrained by anyone or restricted by anything. If we are able to be awakened in every phenomenon and to bear the consequences of whatever our heart choose to do, our karma can be turned into blessings and fortune.
