婚姻途上,携手共渡彼岸 -- .

在家人修习佛法,最大的困扰应是来自家庭。太太归依佛门,而丈夫还未能接受;又或者是家中的老人家不认同,这些故事天天都在我们周围发生着。许多人也因此导致家庭失衡,出现许多磨擦,小则是家无宁日,重则可能是美满夫妻成为怨偶,最后离婚结局。

事实上,婚姻与修学佛法并不是对立的。因为,婚姻也是现实生活的一部分,而生活就是修行的道场,关键看你如何去面对、如何去作适当的处理而已。

婚姻也是前世的因缘,世界上那么多人,最后能朝暮相对地生活的就只有两个人,没有前世的因缘能成吗?说真的,世界上人那么多,你只选择一个和自己共同生活。若没有前世的因缘,可能吗?

大乘行者应该理智地面对婚姻,对于美满的婚姻不要贪恋,对有困扰的家庭应以慈悲心和爱心去感化他们,度化他们进入佛门,帮他们种下解脱的种子,清净彼此间情感上的因缘,共同超越生死轮回,化解这种孽缘,在人生旅途上,携手共进渡到彼岸。
