让心无限开放/ Be Open to the Infinite

谁说椅子只能坐在上面，必要时，我们完全可以用来吃饭、写字，甚至可以把它劈了当柴烧。

就如同当年，谁也无法想到，如今的手机不仅仅只是打电话的工具，它几乎可以涵盖我们生活的大部分内容。

实际上我们只是受限于习惯，受限于眼前的有限。如果你的心无限开放，你承认一切皆有可能，并试着通过训练朝着无限去延伸，那么无限便会显现，甚至极乐世界会出现，阿弥陀佛会亲见。

      所有的发明、所有的改变，都在心的拓展下出现，如果只是默守陈规，如果只是固守着习惯，终究只是死水一潭。

如果你试着站在桌子上面，那么从那一刻起，你习惯于桌子的单一用途便开始松动，从那一刻起，便有了另一种可能。

事实上，可能不仅一种，只是我们被业与习气蒙蔽，无法看到更多的可能，我们甚至害怕拒绝更多的东西出现，因为习惯，因为害怕改变，所以一直囚于无形且坚固的牢笼。

让心开放起来，去相信可能，相信无限是我们的修行，从相信与尝试开始，奇迹与无限便会一点点的出现。

Is a chair only a type of seat to you? When necessary, we can definitely use it also for dining, writing and even as firewood after splitting it, can’t we?

Likewise, people in the old days rarely could ever imagine a cell phone’s extensive involvement in our daily life nowadays, far more than just being a tool for making calls.

The truth is we are just being limited by our habits, limited by the conceivable limitedness. If your mind is fully open, if you’re willing to acknowledge that everything is possible, and if you also try with training efforts that open up your mind to the infinite possibilities, the infiniteness will eventually realize, even the Land of Bliss will appear to you, in Buddha Amitabha’s presence.  

All the inventions and changes have occurred only in company with the expansion of human mind. Adherence to the outdated practices or the existing habit implies only stagnation to follow.

Try standing on a table. From that moment on, your habitual perception of the single use of a table starts to fall apart, and from the same moment on, another possibility may arise.

In fact, there may be many other possibilities that we’re blinded from seeing, by our own karma and habitual dispositions. We even fear and refuse to see more possibilities – because of our habits, the fear to change, we have been caging ourselves invisibly but firmly.

Let’s open up our mind and heart to believe in the possibilities, to believe in the infiniteness and boundlessness inherent in our Buddhist practice. Arising from such a genuine belief and the trials to commit, miraculous infiniteness will come into being bit by bit.
