Gratitude in this great morning 感恩的早晨

I was cleaning the water defrosting from the old fridge, and have deep gratitude towards this old machine which has been storing food for me.

Picked up my little kancil from the mechanic, and have deep gratitude towards this little old 'deer' which has brought me to many places safely & timely. RM 110 paid. And I am so happy for Uncle Chao to have it. He must have spent a lot of time trouble shooting. :)

After the rain, it was so delightful to see raining water dripping fr the trees, as though snow flakes are falling from it! We were rushing for time while watching this, but no, we are not running out of time. Life is always a bliss to be. We were just in joyful state to be able to contemplate this. What a wonderful sight!

Have deep gratitude towards the postman who politely explained why my parcel was detained. This is a parcel full of love.

Gratitude! Such is the precious Dharma in daily life, every moment and every thing.

- 一面洗着老雪柜,一面很感恩这老机器,因为有了它,我的食物得以储存。
- 从老财叔的手中接过老灵鹿,感恩老灵鹿这十多年来的陪伴,伴我走过山陵(真的啊。难忘的和AHMAD师兄之旅),伴我结善缘。感恩老财叔的用心,要医老车毛病,还真得花心思呢。:)
-赶路的时候,感恩有缘让我们看到下雨后的树还在下着雪花式的小雨点,只有在风和树和未干的小雨结合下才看到呵。
-感恩邮差叔叔把我的包裹用心的留在邮政局里。这国家不是没希望的,就看什么因缘底下和什么相应。

感恩!感恩!感恩!佛法无不在生活上。佛法原本就在生命中的每一分每一秒。

《萬物靜觀皆自得》~叶云舟

你抵抗什麼,什麼就會擴大,
你靜觀什麼,什麼就會消失。

不管正面的問題是:與人衝突、
爭吵,或是受人批評、攻擊、侮辱,
如果你去對抗,問題就會擴大
且持續下去。

我們都可以了解,只要有對抗,
就會有衝突,就會有對立,
而衝突和對立,又會引發憤怒、
怨懟、攻擊,然後就沒完沒了。

反之,只要讓自己沉靜下來,
那麼不論你靜觀什麼,
什麼就會消失。

你不需費心去找任何理由為自己
辨護,只要沉靜下來,你的舉止
本身就會顯示最好的理由。

你不需費力去爭執,
只要沉靜下來,
你連想都不用想,
正確的言語自然就會產生。.

你不需刻意去控制情緒,
只要沉靜下來,什麼都不說,
什麼都不做,什麼都不計較,
心境自然平靜。

所謂萬物靜觀皆自得,
我們只要把心沉靜下來,
直到心田的淤泥沉澱,
湖水自然澄清。
你的困擾自然也就消失不見了。

阿含經中提到,
佛陀在為信徒開示時,
總要先「令其心調柔」
才為其說「法」
(善言正語)。

所以祝福你保有一顆容易感動的心、
柔軟的心、慈悲的心,
