人生无常 善念恒长｜Life Is Changing And Good Thoughts Are Everlasting

“无常”随时会出现在我们的生活中，从我们身边走过的那些年暮老者曾经也一定有过属于他们的辉煌，可如今的年迈、苍老却也是他们的万般无奈。而做为年轻人不应该将此莫然视之，一方面要励励忆念无常的降临，另一方面要尽力去关爱身边的老人，因为我们终将有此一天。若想将来无凄苦，就在此时恒修善。我们每个人都会老去！只有在一个充满爱的环境里，在一个充满正能量的环境中，我们老去的时候才不会悲哀、苍凉。而一双手的力量是有限的，试想，当一双伸出的手可以带动另一双手、再一双手…的时候，力量将是无限的。如果大家都蜷缩在自己的天地里，我们赖以生存的环境负能量爆棚，“千丈之堤，以蝼蚁之穴溃”的悲剧必定会出现在我们的生活中。

如果你的修行已经成为避世、避事的借口，那你已经遍离正道，请记住论语中的一句话“见善如不及，见不善如探汤”，做一个积极向善的人，让我们善念恒长，让智悲插上勇猛的翅膀无畏的飞翔。

“Changes” appears in our life at any time. Those old men passing by must be glorious at their ages, but now they are old, pale and helpless. Nonetheless, as young men, we should not ignore this. On the one hand, we should encourage ourselves to remember the coming of the changes; on the other, we should try our best to take care of the old people around us, because we will have this day at last. If we want to have no sorrow, just practice kindness now. Each of us will experience the aging process! Only in an environment full of love and positive energy will we not be sad and desolate when we are old. And the strength of one hand is limited. Just imagine that when a pair of outstretched hands can drive the other two hands, another two handsetc. the power will be infinite. If we are all huddled in our own world, the environment we live in is bursting with negative energy, the tragedy of "the dike of a thousand feet, with the ant hole collapse" will surely appear in our life. If our spiritual practice has become an excuse to avoid the world and affairs, then you have strayed from the right path. Please keep in mind the saying in the Analects, “When we meet kind people, we should know that we’re not as good as them; when we get in touch with unkindness, we should keep the distance as if probing the hot soup.” Be a positive and good person. Let’s make good thoughts perpetual, and let the wisdom and sorrow fly fearlessly with intrepid wings.
