南禪朋友好！
變動法
最近有大德跟我分享她對北傳佛法「三法印」持偉大的敬意！
諸行無常
諸法無我
涅槃寂靜
又悲她自己年邁而佛法尚無成！
我說：無常是變動法，只要反覆練習自己對無常、變動度的接受程度，應該會有所幫助。
深切的練習，反複的練習，甚至譴責不願接受變動的自己！
自己的生命時間、空間在崩塌進行式，或在成長架構式，

The Nature of Change
Greetings, friends of Nan Zen!
Recently a disciple told me how impressed she is with the doctrine of
the three seals of the Dharma in Mahayana Buddhism: all
conditioned phenomena are impermanent, all compounded things
are not-self,
and nirvana is perfect peace.
What a pity that she is getting on in years, yet still hasn’t gained
much insight into the Buddhadharma.
I told her that impermanence is the law of change and that one needs
to practice in such a way that one’s level of acceptance of this reality
increases. With sufficient practice, you’ll get to the point where
you’ll become disenchanted with all that is impermanent, including
yourself!
Whatever stage of life you find yourself in---you may still be
growing up or already getting old---there is change, and you need to
deal with it skillfully from the perspective of impermanence.
(Here I’m talking about a systematic approach to liberation, rather
than constantly observing your thoughts, which would be too
exhausting!)
