Prajna Forest Monastery: Apr, 2025
email:
暖陽傾灑杏花揚，十里風搖雪瓣香。
回首紅塵皆過往，清茶一盞潤心光。
The warm sun spills, almond petals take flight,
Ten miles of wind sways snow-like blooms in fragrant light.
Turning back, all worldly joys and sorrows fade,
A cup of clear tea bathes the heart in tranquil shade.
本月主題為十二因緣中的觸、受、愛三支，請大家認真思惟、覺察「觸緣受」、「受緣愛」對自己人生的影響。
This month’s theme focuses on links 6-8 of the twelve links of interdependence, “contact”, “feeling”, and “craving”. Shifu encourages everyone to think about the roles and effects they play in our current life.

法語一滴 A Taste of Dharma

• 見明色發，明見想成，異見成憎，同想成愛，流愛為種，納想為胎。
• 汝愛我心，我憐汝色，以是因緣，經百千劫，常在纏縛。
— 《楞嚴經》
• "The perception of light gives rise to form, seeing and light-forms give rise to conception. Differing conceptions generate aversion; shared conceptions generate affection. This flowing affection becomes the seed, the absorption of which forms the embryo.”
• “You love my mind, and I adore your body–due to this cause and condition, through thousands of eons, sentient beings are entangled and bound to each other.
– Śūraṅgama Sūtra
因觸生受：這一生所遭受的，是過去行為（業）的果報，有苦有樂。
因受生愛：同想成愛，異見成憎，與習性相合的就愛著，相違的就憎怨，這就是今生所造的新業了。將來想要不同的果報？就看當下能否扭轉「受」之後的心念，能否遠離「愛」「憎」二邊了！
— 見護師
From contact, feeling arises: our experiences in this life, whether joy or sorrow, are a result of past karma.
From feeling, craving arises: when we think this is good, affection and craving follows. When we think this is bad, resentment and rejection follows. Want a differen future? At the moment of “feeling”, if we can turn our thoughts away from both craving and resentment, then we can rewrite our future.
– Jianhu Shifu
