平悉 文     葛親孝 英譯 By Ping Xi   English Translated by Miguel Gracia-Zhang   VBS615 2018年年底，我去金佛寺參加佛七。一位師姐問我：「妳還記得果清老居士嗎」？我說：「記得啊！老居士今年該有九十八高壽了吧。」她說：「老居士現在住到臨終安寧病房去了。」我一聽心裡明白了。我想：佛七完畢，我一定會去看她，希望她可以等我。 Near the end of 2018, I went to the Gold Buddha Monastery to attend the Amitabha Session.

出眾—不一合相 Disrupting Harmony: Standing Apart from the Crowd

Posted on by

摩尼珠 英譯 English translation by Mani Pearl 本刊編輯室 Compiled by the Editorial Staff         VBS 360 我們在這兒大家聚到一起，穿衣服也應該一個樣子，一切一切都應該一樣，不應該自己做一個特別的樣子。好像拜佛，大家都在拜凳上拜，我們也不可以例外在樓板上拜。大家腳底下沒有踩著什麼，我們不可以自己就做一個特別樣子，腳底下墊上東西。你腳要是怕冷，可以穿多一雙襪子就夠了，有餘了。你另外腳底下墊上東西，我不明白這是什麼意思？旁人沒有，你一個人弄那麼特特別別的樣子，別出心裁，這叫出眾；出眾的人是不共住的，因為你不「一合相」。 When we’re together, we should dress and do everything uniformly. You shouldn’t appear to be special. When bowing to the Buddhas, for example, everyone … Continue reading →
