不怕念起,只怕覺遲。 Fear not of the rise of thoughts, fear only the delay of awareness.

image我們的身體記憶裏邊充滿了不同數量的慾望,憎惡,不安,與智慧的念頭,隨時因應食物與環境的人事物而令”念”起來。這是”因緣和合”而生,不受我們控制,不用害怕了,怕也沒用。如果沒有發覺這些念頭的生起,就會一直困在他們裏邊,這才是最可怕的!所以我們要努力盡早察”覺”這些念頭,不要被他們控制,看清楚他們的真相,智慧就是這樣生起的,痛苦就是這樣衰敗的。努力努力 🙂

The memories in our body and mind are full of different kinds of thoughts, including desires, dislikes, agitations, and wisdom. They may arise due to food intake and/or matters happened in the environment. They are the result of cause and effect, and the integration of timing, location and people. Hence, what arise are totally out of control of the present mind, and there is no need to be afraid of, and it is also useless to have fear. However, if we are not aware of the rise of these thoughts, we will be trapped inside them and this is the real fear. Therefore, we should try our best with our present mind to aware of these thoughts when they arise, and not being controlled by them. By realising the true impermanence nature of the thoughts, wisdom will arise, suffering will decay. Work hard ^o^
