悔1

Had a casual discussion with a colleague about Ang baos today and about the right amounts to give. The image of dad giving me Ang bao when I was young sort of flood my memories.

I only give him around 100-150 on cny and refuse to think that he needed the money , in year 2006, he asked me if I could help to advance him some money to buy the necessities for the new year and I told him I will give him his Ang bao early. That was the first time he blew his top on me. He was not so much interested in the money but more disappointed with my calculating behavior . I never woke from my cruelty even during his last new year.

想要把我对父亲的点点滴滴都写出来,真是罄竹难书,可是希望在未忘记前都写出来,这是我发的愿,也是警世和让他的后代能知道自己犯了这滔天大罪,希望警世起的功德都回向给他,一位曾经孤苦无依的老人

思念

刚才昏睡中听着文殊菩萨的歌曲,梦到父亲回头望的神情,如亲临其境,思念之心油然而生便惊醒了。还是非常思念他。在世时根本不理睬他,过世后才来后悔,可有什么用?

Consciousness only and Madhyamaka 唯识与中观

今天在qq提问有关唯识与中观的差别,一位朋友慷慨的分享现在放上来解答了我的疑问:

handynas师兄,现拷贝济群法师的一段开示,希望对你有帮助,要详细了解二派的观点差异,还须师兄花些时间,好好学习一下有关资料: 代表着两个修行的不同体系,这两个体系,尤其它们在知见上,差别比较大。唯识有唯识的中道观,中观有中观的中道观,唯识是用三性(空、假、中)来解释这个世界,是通过三性来帮助我们契入空性,契入中道实相。中观是用二谛(真空妙有)来解释这个世界,通过对二谛的说明,来帮助我们契入空性,契入诸法的实相。这两个体系是不一样的。中观的思想,一切法都是性空的, 不管是心和境都是空的。唯识是先讲心是有的,境是空的,所以一切都是我们心的显现,一切都是唯识所现。也就是我们每一个人的认识,我们所认识的一切对象,都是我们内心的显现,都没有离开我们的心,这是唯识的主要思想。这个思想和跟中观的思想,其实它是不一样的。 顶礼济群法师,阿弥陀佛!
