簡論因緣果2

Causes, conditions, and results in a nutshell 2

在佛法的真相裡面討論著生，老，病，死。生老病死人間的真

相，但我們在面對缺陷時候都想盡辦法逃脫！就我個人及跟隨

我修持的大德，一直以來的修持原則都在訓練自己可以面對難

題，「也就是因緣（人，事）起了變化後的接受度」。

我親眼看到車禍重傷女居士不曾發出一句怨言，到整個復原的

過程，親身感受另一個大德還款幾百萬甘心領受而得到她自己

大躍進的境界！面對現實環境，身體起變化要接受，坦白說我

們都做不到，然而佛法的教育讓我們懂得佛陀的說法是對的方

向，進而去練習人性的弱點，希望自己藉由佛法而勇敢，而有

力氣往前走，「走到自己心中要的人性」，福智俱備！

Buddhism emphasizes that birth, aging, illness, and death are

 inescapable facts of life. Yet, when actually faced with any of the

 misfortunes of life, we have great difficulty accepting them! In the

 way I practice and teach others to practice, there is an emphasis on

 learning how to face difficulties and to accept the changes that arise

 due to causes and conditions.

It seems to help. For example, there was a laywoman who got

 seriously injured in a traffic accident, and during her long recovery

 she never uttered a single word of complaint. Then there was the

 laywoman who paid a debt amounting to several million dollars; she

 did it without the slightest regret, and it helped her make a lot of

 progress in her practice.

We have to face reality; and when something changes with the body,

 we have to accept it. Yet we find this very difficult to do. Once we

 understand what the Buddha taught, we start moving in the right

 direction, we begin to overcome the weaknesses of human nature. 

Buddhism gives us the courage and strength to go forward, so that 

we become the person we want to be, endowed with joy and wisdom.
