人常在什麼都可以自由自在的時候,卻被這種隨心所欲的自由蒙蔽,虛擲時光而毫無覺知。

During the times when we are free to do whatever we please, we are often deceived by this freedom into wasting time unknowingly.
證巖法師靜思語

感恩,内心充满了法喜。心... ...稳当,开阔了许多。这一阵子,心是飘浮,恍惚的,对未来有一些恐慌。今天上课后,心中的乌云消散了些,心情也没那么的郁闷。

未来会是如何?说实在我不晓得,自己会走着一条怎么样的路。一切好像都不是掌握在我的手上。但,环境确实扮演着很重要的角色,身边的人、事、物皆是。虽然一切外在的因素我也许都不能如己所愿,但须清楚的是那服务的心是一样的,那待人处事的心是一样的... ... 持着颗贡献社会的心去随顺一切的安排吧!只要愿在,行便在。

愿我时时得以听闻佛法,沐浴于佛法之中。
愿我时时能尽自己的一份力量,去帮助需要的人。
当初,承诺自己把生命、生活的每一刻记录下来。我相信生命有着许许多多等着我们去发掘,生命是不可思议的。有时,我们于当下就有所启示;有时,自己却浑然不觉。然而于人生的不同阶段,都会有不同的启发,带着不同的讯息,告诉我们如何继续着人生的道路。所以,会期许自己每天感恩、发愿、突破。

然而,自己似乎还把自己锁在个框框里,走不出来。昨天,让我清楚地看到这一点,眼泪就留下来了。一直试着去摆脱,反而被框得更紧。要放下与接受,才能踏出新的一步。

“忙碌,只是偷懒的一种形式,那是因为你懒得思考和分辨自己的行动。”

敬业与乐业——梁启超。

今天,好好的阅读了这一篇文章。之前,心都乱乱、茫茫的。今天,心神比较安宁。邻家清晰的电视广告,于夜深人静的时间,声音变得更清楚了。电视剧播完了,电视也随之闭上了... ...宁静中偶尔传来零零散散的车声、脚步声、讲话声。自己的心随着外来的声音起起伏伏... ...

敬业、乐业是我们做任何事情都应持有的态度。这不是基于社会观点如此,而是实实在在如何让自己持续的去从事一份职业,去保持那份热忱。不然,生活则如行尸走肉般,或无味、烦躁。敬重自己所从事的行业,自己的立足点,进而喜乐自己所做的一切。

给自己学习的空间吧!学习扮演自己的角色。因为逃避只会让自己更懦弱,更无法面对自己。

人生十二种财富

一、积极的精神态度
二、良好的体格
三、人际关系的和谐
四、脱离恐惧
五、未来成功的希望
六、信念的容量
七、与人分享自己的幸福的愿望
八、热爱自己的工作
九、对所有的事物有开放的内心
十、严于自律
十一、理解人的能力
十二、经济保障

我,富有吗?或是贫穷呢?所有的财富,都始于一种内心状态。

“工作,有如讀書一般,是我們生命的一部份,

也是我們人生中的一個階段。

不管在哪一個領域,要如梁啟超所言:敬業樂業

敬業,是對他人展現我們應當負起的責任;

樂業,是讓自己在負起責任的同時輕鬆自在的度過。

人生進入到讀「社會大學」的這一階段,

不能再以逃避的心態去面對,

反之,應當調整心境,去迎對這所大學的學習與考驗。

抱著謙虛學習的正面心態,去探索這世間的人事物……

相信會有精彩豐富的人生體驗。”


敬業即是責任心,樂業即是趣味。

愿我能时时持有颗单纯、感恩的心去尽我一份小小的力量去帮助有缘人。

从新出发~从心出发

我有太多的不熟悉,很多的担心、害怕。有时,也不懂自己是怎么走过来的,很容易就会否定自己,无法建立由心而发的自信。因为害怕失败、挫折,所以都无法认真。生活充满了矛盾。今天,友人的一封信息说快开工啦!我准备好了吗?我一直都在逃避这个问题。我害怕,我好像什么都不会,怎么去服务大众?有时,会给自己好多的理由借口... ... 其实心里明白一切都是‘心’在作祟。
勇敢吧!勇敢的去面对自己的人生!加油!

最近的心情都不是很平稳,只要稍微一些事情,心就很容易跌进谷里。我的心找不到平静。我的心 ... 慌了,不知如何是好。我好像充满了矛盾,好像回到当时的情况了,我很害怕。

Monday, July 14, 2008

我哭了。眼泪不受控制的从眼眶滑下... ... 我也不知该如何说起,心情是复杂的。但整理心情是必要的。感觉还未平伏。警钟响起了... ... 只是我一而再的忽视,慢慢地吞噬了我的生命。我是否有正视自己的生命?是否珍惜每个当下?这都是我需思考的。我生命的目标与方向在哪里?我确定吗?模糊、迷惘 ... ... 清醒啊!清清楚楚的当下啊 !

昨天,无法联线上课,感觉怪怪的... 有一点空洞。负责人(一直记不起他的名字),父亲进院了。希望他并不大碍,健康平安。

理大佛学会会讯,今天收到了。妈妈问起是什么?如实说就对了么,怎么我感觉怪怪的... 我看到了管道,看到了希望... 嘻嘻!
环境确实扮演着很重要的角色。我开始觉得... ... 没有力量了。一直坐在家的我,开始有点迷失了...我竟然开始问,“我生活的意义是什么?”。在家,我好像比在外面有更多的顾虑,我无法跟亲人解说我到底在想些什么?我在做些什么?我是很想告诉他们,只是我又好像无从开始。为什么会这样呢?我开始否定自己了吗?其实当这疑问一生起,就表示我已动摇了。

生命的自信,生命的自在,生命的方向... ... 我正在走着寻找生命的路。我相信,我可以。电视的声音,此起彼落,这就是我在家的考验吧!我已不可能继续呆在房间里了,这对我们的关系一点帮助也没有。我需要做的是适应、学习。我不想再做无谓的解释,说明了。做出来吧!用你的行动来证明。不要害怕,勇敢面对自己,面对家人,面对生命!学习去体谅,学习去专注,学习去认真,学习去包容,学习去感恩。加油!

记得去年的今天,友人送了我这一首歌,在我们家共修后的时段。很感激这一位朋友,很感激善友之家的住众、朋友。当时,我闭起眼睛,仔细地聆听。心中是充满了感动,那音乐,那声音... ... 之中又带有一熟悉的感觉。谢谢您,佛陀。在我无助彷徨的时候,在我不知所措时候,在我失去方向的时候... ...

哈哈,原来在不知不觉中,这颗无心插柳的种子已冲破土地的障碍,慢慢地发芽了。发现自己在这一段时间里,慢慢改变、成长了。其实,是一切因缘的成就啊!想起了友人当时的分享——四重恩。于不同时段,都会有不同的体悟吧!也才能于时时刻刻中,让生命充满法喜、喜悦。谢谢你。

p/s: 自己接触佛教,学习佛法是在进大学才开始的;自己也从未真正的去体会,实践。总觉得自己付出的很少很少,得到的却是很多很多... ...
踏入七月的第七天,生日快乐!愿一切都吉祥。祝福大家。

昨天,六月初一,是大姑的忌日。我跟随二姑去了亚罗士打。距离现在,大姑逝世已经有三四年了吧!还记得我当时是大学第一年。这么一看,公公去世也差不多这么久了。公公是我在进大学前往生的,也是造就我会选修药剂系的重要一环。现在我已毕业了,2008年。算回去,2004年。也是好一段时间了。在这段时间里,确实发生了不少事情。曾经,在求学时,自己也好一段时日不是很想回家。现在看一看,自己是多么的幼稚、自私。忘了设身处地的为家人着想。忽然的改变,会有不适应的感觉,不止我一人啊。相处多年的家人怎么不会察觉其中的不一样,而我也是知道的。只是自己选择了不去面对,我自己也不懂得该怎么面对。时间确实能够让人学着去调整、应对,但其中的改变与曾经造成的伤害是回不了头的。或者事情并没有我言述的那一般严重,只是对亲人所想的,所感受的,自己是不清楚的。我没有办法去感受,去想象,或者去猜测他们所感受的,这一点我没有办法做到。而现在心里所想的,是想让父母安心,放心,不再对我这个做女儿的过分的操心;想为家里营造个和乐的环境。看来我还要继续努力哦,加油!

p/s: 这次难得在家过生日,想做些什么的... ... 妹妹一直吵着说想吃 cheesecake,今天下午自己也上网找了些资料,明天和二姑去槟城时看是否成功买到材料,加油!以往生日都满怀期待家人为我庆祝或做些什么的,今年想换个方式,想为他们准备些东西... ... 嘻嘻!
谢谢你们,爸爸妈妈,我爱你们。

今天,踏入七月的第二天。2008年于不知觉中已经走了一大半。四月考试结束,之后连续参与了几个营队,六月才真正的在家里。不到一个星期,自己就有点闷慌了。奇怪的是... 自己却也耐得住,而六月也就这么的结束了。自己,是懒惰的。想改变却也害怕改变。于期间去了几趟槟城,让我从新思考了许多许多... ... 想好好把握这段在家里的时间。

p/s:屋外传来吵闹的声音,吵架?酒后闹事?人事纠纷?不晓得。站在窗口偷瞄去,人,看不清楚。自己,反倒担心给人瞧见。既然什么都没看着,就干脆把窗口给关上了。吵闹声慢慢地散去,留下的是邻家传来的电视剧对白... ... 加油,七月三号!晚安,宁静的夜晚。

Change Your Thinking

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.


Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.


One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.


His bed was next to the room's only window.


The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.


The men talked for hours on end.


They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.


Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.


The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.


The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.


Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.


As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene


One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.


Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.


Days, weeks and months passed.


One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.


She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.


As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.


Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.


He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.


It faced a blank wall.


The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.


The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.


She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'


Epilogue:


There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.


Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.


If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.


'Today is a gift, that is why it is called
The Present.'


Do not keep this letter.


I pray you will forward it to all your friends .


这是封友人转发给我的文章,觉得蛮有意思,就把祂‘剪贴’了下来。生命是宝贵的,感恩自己还有呼吸。愿自己能活出生命的色彩,也把这份欢乐带给所有人!

对生命的一切,说真的~自己还不是很习惯。对生活、生命还存有着许多的不熟悉,有时候会不知所措。这就是所谓生命的历练吧!然而,对生命我们是有选择的,选择以什么方式过生活。心中下了个决心,用心的去感受生命的每一刻。生命是非常的奇妙··· 之中的点点滴滴,愿自己能以颗感恩的心,去体会每个当下。加油!
