不要忘记观无常 |Don't forget to Meditate on Impermanence

无常，有多少人会去思考这两个字的意义？无常，就是不可预计、不可把控，千变万化如同天上的云彩,此生彼生，此灭彼灭、相待互存，其间没有丝毫的恒常存在。

     很多修行人通过“暇满难得犹如优昙花，既得大义超胜如意宝，获得如是此身唯一回 ，若未修持究竟大义果，我等无义虚度此人身 ，总集三宝上师悲眼视。”了知人生如同向墙壁撒豆，颗粒难留，如此难得的人生又具有无常的特征，因此观无常是何等的重要。

      我们所在的这个世界是“器情世界”，万事万物，山河大地及一切有为之法，迁流无暂停，终将变异，皆悉无常。佛教从因缘法的角度说明诸法是因缘生，由于因缘会变异而终将灭坏，可谓因缘生随缘灭。在这个世界，你富裕也好，贫穷也罢；你高官厚奉也好，漂亮美丽也罢，一切都是无常，迟早会消失。如果我们不去思维无常，就会因此而端执很多所谓的“重要”。当退休，衰老，死亡等现前的时候，我们只能束手无策，唉声叹气，由此患上“忧郁症”，更严重的甚至选择“自杀”。我们凡夫奔波劳碌都是为了一个身体，身体要吃喝，身体要安逸。当美貌退失，就会期待美丽恒长而奔走在美容护肤，整形的路上，无意空耗难得人身；当身体日渐衰老，疾病缠绕，就会幻想着长命百岁，为了保养身体，而采用各种手段甚至去杀生或者做很多违反因果的事、造下无数的恶业。

      我们的身体本是无常之自性，如同一部汽车，由各种零部件组成，这些零部件会衰损。人随着岁月流逝，经过童年、少年、中年到老年，最后终将走向死亡。如果没有无常观，没有认识到这个身体的本性，就会为了幻想中的长久而造下各种罪业。如果开始关注无常，开始思维无常，我们用这个暇满人身作为修行的工具，精进地修持，那么一切不如意来临的时候，都会平静接受，甚至到了死亡真正到来的时候，都能坦然的面对，我们的心就可以获得解脱，或者往生清净的刹土。

Impermanence, how many people will think about the meaning of this word? that is unpredictable, uncontrollable, ever-changing as the cloud in the sky: one is born following with another, one is died following with another, interdepending relatively,

but there is no any constancy existed in between.

Following by the teaching of "A precious human birth is rare to be attained, just like Magnolia delaudio-videoayi seldom blooming,knowing the truth further exceeds having the Wish-fulling Gem in the palm of hands, The precious human body can only be obtained in this present life among the beginningless time, If there is no practice in one’s lifetime for ultimate Buddhahood, that will be a pointlessly waste , gurus - the union of the Three Jewels has great compassion on these when seeing ", many practitioners are aware that life is so rare , featured by impermanence , and just like spreading beans to the wall—it is nearly impossible for any particle to stay , therefore how important it is to meditate on impermanence.

Our world is "the outer universe," everything including mountains,rivers, land  and all conditioned phenomena, lasts for a whole kalpa and has nonetheless been keeping change, they will eventually mutate and be of impermanence. From the view of the law of karma, Buddhism shows that all the occurrence are from karma, and  will eventually destruct along with the mutation of karma,  That’s so-called” birth and death following karma.” In this world, whether you are rich or poor, whether you are high-ranking or beautiful, everything is impermanent, and will disappear sooner or later.  If we don't think of  impermanence, we will cling to a lot of so-called "importance."  When  retirement, aging, death. etc comes, we are helpless,sigh in despair, and thus suffer from "Melancholia",and  more seriously, even choose to  "suicide." We, mortals, are working hard just for our body, which needs to eat , drink, and to be comfortable.  When the beauty is decaying,we start to be busy with beauty and skin care, plastic surgery for the expectation of  long-lasting beauty,which pointlessly idled the precious body ; when our body is getting old and old, and eaten up with diseases,we will dream of  long-lived life and take every means,even to kill living creatures or do a lot of things against cause and effect for maintaining our body,thereby countless bad karmas have been done .

Our body is originally of  its self nature of impermanence, like a car, composed of various parts, these parts will be deteriorated.  As life goes by, experiencing childhood, youth, middle age till old age, it will eventually die.  If there is no conviction of  impermanence and no recognition of the physical nature of this body, various bad karmas will be done for the illusion of permanence. If we start to focus on impermanence,to reflect it, and practice diligently by taking advantage of the precious human body as a tool, we will accept calmly when all the unsatisfactory come , we can face peacefully even when the death really approaches. Our conciousness can get detached or ascend to the pure land.
