简单人生—-心作心是

摘要：心作心是特别重要！不是一般的重要！

能不能使人生简单起来，关键在于我们是否知道用心的方式。

在事相上求，那就是心外求法，这样会失去作为的准确方向。因为面对众多事相上的选择，太繁杂太混乱，难以抉择。在事相上觉悟，那就是让内心世界起运用。凡事回到心地的需要上去处理、去做决定，就会变得十分简单。这种方法叫做“心作心是”。

“心作”是因，“心是”是果，有因必有果，因果同时是没有间隙的。内心择取什么，就有什么样的作用力。择取轻视能体验轻视的作用力，择取尊重的当下就能体验尊重的作用力。如同手抓冰就冷，抓火就烫，我们自己是作用力的第一个受用者。

所谓修行就是要去训练这个“心作”，体验这个“心是”，那么我们的心念、心意法界就会主动起来。

心作心是特别重要！不是一般的重要！

我们要是在心作心是上训练得纯熟了，自己起心动念就知道自心在缘什么，那结果清清晰晰、明明了了，自主的人生是势在必行的！

我们世间人苦在什么地方呢？苦在不知道心作心是，认为痛苦是别人给我带来的。我们要是知道自己的“心在作抱怨”，就不会把责任推给别人，甚至可以去享受超越抱怨的心理体验。关键，要是不知道就会迷失，执著事相必然会烦恼与痛苦。

学会运用心作心是，知道它是可以使人生主动自在的妙法与机会，那人就觉醒了。我们都知道醒来的人是主动、正向、阳光的，是一个积极的作为者。支持感恩一切，是必然的结果。如古代先贤说：若是有人知心作心是，何人还会枉受轮回之苦呢？

How to simplify our life
-The phenomenal world is projected by our heart

Whether we can simplify our life depends on how to use our heart. If we seek answers from the phenomenon that is outside our heart，we will be lost, because the phenomenal world is too uncertain and chaotic for us to make a right decision. On the contrary, if we are enlightened in every phenomenon and let the true heart take effect, dealing with things and making decisions according to the real needs of our heart, things become very simple.The underlying principle is “the phenomenal world is projected by our heart”.

“The choice of our heart” is the cause and “what it turn out to be” is the effect. Effect inevitably follows its cause. There is no gap between cause and effect. Once our heart makes a choice, we will instantly experience the corresponding force of the choice. As we can experience, If we choose contempt, we feel contempt, and if we choose respect, we feel respect. Likewise, we feel cold if we touch ice and we feel hot if we touch fire. We are the first people to experience the force of our choice.

The so-called cultivation is to train our heart to make choices and to feel what it turn out to be. Thus our heart will be active.

It is crucial for us to understand that our heart is what it chooses to be.

If we understand this and keep practising it hard enough, we will know clearly what our heart is choosing and what result it will cause the moment we have an idea. Therefore we will certainly enjoy a free life.

Why do we suffer in this world? Because we fail to know that the heart is what it chooses to be, thus blaming our sufferings on others. If we know it is our heart that chooses to complain, we will not blame others any more, and we can even enjoy the experience of going beyond complaint. On the contrary, if we fail to know this, we will be lost. Attaching to the phenomena will inevitably brings worries and sufferings.

If we learn how to use this principle and accept it as a wonderful method and opportunity for our life to be free, we are awakened and can break through the restriction of the phenomena. When one wakes up, he becomes active, positive and grateful for everything and ready to offer helps for everyone. Just as the sages said: once we know that the phenomenal world is projected by our heart, who would like to choose to take the sufferings of reincarnations?
