六入缘触，触缘受；受缘爱，爱缘取；
取缘有，有缘生；生缘生老忧悲苦恼。

I want to introduce you to a sutra that I like very much.

佛说五蕴皆空经

An except from the sutra

您们当知。色身不是我。若是我的话，色身不应该生病和受到苦恼，若色是我的话，我想要这样的色身，我不想要这样的色身。既然不能这样。随顺我的情感与欲望。所以应当知道。色身不是我。受、想、行、识也是这样不是我。

2019年10月，阿联酋哈伊马角市阿曼湾中学做了一个简单的对比实验：用控制变量的方式观察两株植物对人类语言的响应。

其中，左边的植物旁边反复播放咒骂、批评的录音，右边则反复播放赞美、夸奖的录音，两株植物的光照、水肥等条件均保持同步。实验持续了30天，结果让人大为吃惊：左边那株经常遭受“语言暴力”的植物竟然被活生生地“骂”死了，叶片枯萎，毫无生机，而右边的植物却绿意盎然，长势非常茂盛。

This shows that all living things have consciousness. What you do at one corner of the world will affect another even if they're far away. Same as quantum theory.

Buddha has told us all that 2000 plus years ago.

But knowing is quite different from following the principles. I know what is in the Bible but I'm not a Christian.

But knowing is quite different from following the principles. I know what is in the Bible but I'm not a Christian.

The Buddha said in the Sutta, those that know dependant origination see the four noble truths.

Meaning should one really penetrate the dependant origination, he is already enlightened. No one dare to claim that.

I want to share an excellent video. It talks about intelligence and wisdom. Many intelligent people thought they're very clever but it turns out that they're the stupid ones. They know a lot of things but understand very little. And the most important thing in life is not about being able to solve complex mathematic equations fast but to understand the truth of life. Buddhism is about finding out that truth.

在明朝，有个人叫罗洪先，他特别有才华，二十多岁就高中状元。（以前中状元极不容易，比现在考上清华、北大还难。）他为人正直，因看到官场黑暗腐败，感念人生之无常，于是辞官隐居，断然出家，世称“状元和尚”。

状元和尚在寺院出家后，假装愚钝，甘心承担最苦的杂役，劈柴挑水、烧火煮饭，无所不做，以此来磨练自己的心性。就这样过了十三年。
他出家前原有妻室，并有一子。十三年后，其子又高中状元，父子同科，世间稀有，一时传为佳话。此时妻儿很想念他，无奈他出家后音讯全无，根本无从寻起。

可能是亲人思念真切的缘故，有一天状元和尚忽然起了回家探亲的念头，于是返回家乡。及至状元府，刚站在门前，仆人以为是和尚化缘，便入室禀告夫人。夫人生性善良，让仆人施米一斗。状元和尚未接受，希望求见主人。仆人认为和尚贪心，又报夫人。夫人又让仆人出来施钱一贯。

状元和尚还是不收，即索纸笔，题诗一首：“斗米千钱我不收，十三年返故乡游。儿孙自有儿孙福，莫为儿孙做马牛。”（这个偈子很适合现在许多人，他们 一辈子为了儿孙操劳，自己也不学佛，天天耗费人身。其实，儿孙自有儿孙的福分，有福报的话，你根本不必为他担心；没福报的话，你操心也没有用。所以，不要 一生为儿孙当牛做马。）

仆人将诗稿入呈夫人。夫人见后惊讶万分，急速跑出门外，但和尚已经离去。夫人即刻派人四处寻找，再也不见其踪影。
后来，状元和尚投归福建龙裤禅师，朝禅暮净，终于大彻大悟。他感念世人之迷茫，遂作《醒世诗偈》，广为流传。记得其中一句是这样写的：“劝君早办修行路，一失人身万劫难。”可见，人身难得的教言，在汉传佛教中也特别重视。

明朝确实有这么一个人，请看 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%BD%97%E...8C/3515698

Upajjhatthana Sutta: Subjects for Contemplation

"There are these five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained. Which five?

"'I am subject to aging, have not gone beyond aging.' This is the first fact that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained.

"'I am subject to illness, have not gone beyond illness.' ...

"'I am subject to death, have not gone beyond death.' ...

"'I will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to me.' ...

"'I am the owner of my actions,[1] heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir.' ...

"These are the five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained.

"Now, based on what line of reasoning should one often reflect... that 'I am subject to aging, have not gone beyond aging'? There are beings who are intoxicated with a [typical] youth's intoxication with youth. Because of that intoxication with youth, they conduct themselves in a bad way in body... in speech... and in mind. But when they often reflect on that fact, that youth's intoxication with youth will either be entirely abandoned or grow weaker...

"Now, based on what line of reasoning should one often reflect... that 'I am subject to illness, have not gone beyond illness'? There are beings who are intoxicated with a [typical] healthy person's intoxication with health. Because of that intoxication with health, they conduct themselves in a bad way in body... in speech... and in mind. But when they often reflect on that fact, that healthy person's intoxication with health will either be entirely abandoned or grow weaker...

"Now, based on what line of reasoning should one often reflect... that 'I am subject to death, have not gone beyond death'? There are beings who are intoxicated with a [typical] living person's intoxication with life. Because of that intoxication with life, they conduct themselves in a bad way in body... in speech... and in mind. But when they often reflect on that fact, that living person's intoxication with life will either be entirely abandoned or grow weaker...

"Now, based on what line of reasoning should one often reflect... that 'I will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to me'? There are beings who feel desire and passion for the things they find dear and appealing. Because of that passion, they conduct themselves in a bad way in body... in speech... and in mind. But when they often reflect on that fact, that desire and passion for the things they find dear and appealing will either be entirely abandoned or grow weaker...

"Now, based on what line of reasoning should one often reflect... that 'I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir'? There are beings who conduct themselves in a bad way in body... in speech... and in mind. But when they often reflect on that fact, that bad conduct in body, speech, and mind will either be entirely abandoned or grow weaker...

"Now, a disciple of the noble ones considers this: 'I am not the only one subject to aging, who has not gone beyond aging. To the extent that there are beings — past and future, passing away and re-arising — all beings are subject to aging, have not gone beyond aging.' When he/she often reflects on this, the [factors of the] path take birth. He/she sticks with that path, develops it, cultivates it. As he/she sticks with that path, develops it and cultivates it, the fetters are abandoned, the obsessions destroyed.

"Further, a disciple of the noble ones considers this: 'I am not the only one subject to illness, who has not gone beyond illness.'... 'I am not the only one subject to death, who has not gone beyond death.'... 'I am not the only one who will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to me.'...

"A disciple of the noble ones considers this: 'I am not the only one who is owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator; who — whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir. To the extent that there are beings — past and future, passing away and re-arising — all beings are the owner of their actions, heir to their actions, born of their actions, related through their actions, and have their actions as their arbitrator. Whatever they do, for good or for evil, to that will they fall heir.' When he/she often reflects on this, the [factors of the] path take birth. He/she sticks with that path, develops it, cultivates it. As he/she sticks with that path, develops it and cultivates it, the fetters are abandoned, the obsessions destroyed."


Subject to birth, subject to aging,
subject to death,
run-of-the-mill people
are repelled by those who suffer
from that to which they are subject.
And if I were to be repelled
by beings subject to these things,
it would not be fitting for me,
living as they do.

As I maintained this attitude —
knowing the Dhamma
without paraphernalia —
I overcame all intoxication
with health, youth, & life
as one who sees
renunciation as rest.



For me, energy arose,
Unbinding was clearly seen.
There's now no way
I could partake of sensual pleasures.
Having followed the holy life,
I will not return.

Must keep this in mind constantly.

In a 2016 survey, vipassana meditation was the most popular meditation. 

This meditation was taught by the Lord Buddha himself.

心经

[Blasterlord2]

弘一法师的5句话渡你

1、凡是你想控制的，其实都控制了你。当你什么都不要的时候，天地都是你的。

2、遇见，是因为有债要还了；离开，是因为还清了。前世不欠，今生不见；今生相见，定有亏欠。

缘起，我在人群中看见你；缘灭，我看见你在人群中。如若流年有爱，就心随花开；如若人走情凉，就守心自暖。

3、不要害怕失去，你所失去的，本来就不属于你。

也不要害怕伤害，能伤害你的，都是你的劫数。繁华三千，看淡即是浮云；烦恼无数，想开就是晴天。

4、你以为错过了就是遗憾，其实可能是躲过了一劫；别贪心，你不可能什么都拥有；也别灰心，你不可能什么都没有。所愿所不愿，不如心甘情愿。所得所不得，不如心安理得。

5、有些事上天让你做不成，那是在保护你。别抱怨，别生气，世间万物都是有定数的。得到未必是福，失去未必是祸。

人生各有渡口，各有各舟。有缘躲不开，无缘碰不到。缘起则聚，缘尽则散。

Recently heard this saying - 起心动念皆是因，当下所受皆是果. Touches my heart.

Just want to share an article on this.

在人生的旅途中，我们常常被陷入对过去的回忆和未来的担忧中，而忽略了此刻。当我们停下脚步，倾听内心的声音，我们会发现每一个决定都成为了我们生活的一部分。每一个起心动念都承载着我们的因，每一个当下所受都是我们的果。这句简单而又深刻的真理贯穿着我们的生活，它让我们重新审视自己的所思所为，引发对内心深处情感的共鸣和反思。让我们一起来探讨这个哲学命题，让心灵在内心的宁静中感悟起心动念和当下所受的奥秘。

每一个心念都是因，它们如同无形的种子，悄然影响着我们的思想、情感以及行为。或许是一次突如其来的决定，又或许是一连串反复思考后的选择，这些种子播下后，便开始了我们所谓的“因缘果报”的过程。我们会发现，我们所接触到的每一个人，每一个事物，每一个经历，都是我们因果循环的一部分。当我们回望过去，我们可以清晰地看到那些曾经起过的念头所带来的果报。

每一个念头，甚至是每一个微小的决定，都会在未来的日子里悄悄地呈现出来。就像埋下的种子，需要时间才会发芽生根，每一个念头都在潜移默化中影响着我们的人生轨迹。这种因果之道并非虚无缥缈，而是真实存在于我们的日常生活中。每一个念头都是一次选择，每一次当下所受都是自己曾经种下的果实。

当下所受，皆是果。每一个我们所经历的，所感受到的，都是我们曾经因起的念头的果实。这个果实可能是喜悦，也可能是痛苦，甚至是挫折。然而，无论是什么样的果实，它都是我们种下念头后，必然会收获的结果。当我们扪心自问，面对各种果实时，我们不得不承认，它们无一例外都是我们内心所播下的种子所衍生出来的。我们无法逃避来自内心的果报，也无法否认自己曾经因起的念头。

我们可以用这句经文来阐释，任何善恶行为的果报，归根结底都是来自因，因起的念头所导致的果报。每一个因，都会潜移默化地呈现在我们的生活中。当我们遇到拥挤的地铁，堵塞的交通，或是不如意的工作，这些看似起起伏伏的生活琐事，其实都是我们自己曾经起过的念头所引发的果报。这种果报时刻提醒着我们，让我们反思自己的内心念头，以及它们所带来的果实。

在日常生活中，我们经常忽视念头的力量。然而，当我们开始意识到起心动念的重要性时，便会发现它们在我们的人生中扮演着至关重要的角色。我们身处的环境，所拥有的一切，都是我们内心念头的外在映射。并且当我们能够真正理解起心动念皆是因，当下所受皆是果这个哲学命题时，我们就能够更加清晰地认识自己的内心，更好地为自己的人生铺路。

无论我们的念头是清净善良还是执著贪婪，它们都会在未来得到应有的果报。因此，当我们面对生活的起伏不定时，不妨停下脚步，审视内心深处的念头。让我们以平和的心态，面对生活中的一切，不以过去的果报而沉迷，也不以未来的果报而焦虑，而是珍惜当下的每一瞬间，看清自己的内心，努力播下美好的念头，期待着未来欣欣向荣的果实。

正如佛陀所说：“以心感应，心为因地，行为为根源，果实为结果。”心灵的种子，在不断起落的人生河流中生根发芽，不断影响着我们的选择和行为。唯有以平和的心态面对起起落落，才能真正懂得起心动念皆是因，当下所受皆是果的哲学意义。让我们珍惜每一个心念，用善良和智慧播撒我们内心的种子，期待未来美好的果实，也期待着内心深处的净土。

当我们开始懂得感恩每一个当下的所受，因为它们都是我们内心念头的结果，我们就能够更加谨慎地对待自己的心念。在这个因果循环的世界里，我们不再迷失，而是主动承担起自己内心所播下的种种果报。这个领悟不仅使我们深刻理解人生的奥秘，而且让我们在内心深处寻找到了一种感恩生活的力量。在面对挫折和困难时，我们能够以一颗感恩的心坦然接受，知道那些果实是我们之前播下的种子所带来的结果。

因果循环永恒不息，其背后蕴含着神秘而又深刻的哲学意义。每一个念头都是我们生活的一部分，每一个果实都是我们行为的反映。我们期望得到美好果实时，就要有美好的念头；我们期望拥有幸福时，就要懂得用幸福的心态面对生活的一切。起心动念皆是因，当下所受皆是果，这句信念永远伴随着我们，让我们珍视每一个当下，用美好的念头播下美好的果实。愿我们的人生因果相应，心想事成，皆得圆满。
