生活就是修行的道场 -- 【编辑室】

“佛法不离世间觉”。

其实，佛陀所提的佛法，就活在我们的现实生活中。不论是在生活还是在工作，佛法是无处不在的。在家中、在职场上，我们只要用心地去思考所发生的每一件事，都可用佛法去理解，去分析，不难找到佛法的存在。其实，在我们周边都是修习佛法的道场，都是一片净土，只是我们没有察觉到吧了。

佛陀说，每个人都有佛性。表面上看是十分的深奥，很难理解，但若是能通过深信因果、愿力相续，让埋藏在内心深处的菩提心发生作用，再通过念佛、忆佛，我们都能成佛的。

因此，我们要在日常生活中修，不要把生活与修行分开，用实际的行动来体现佛法的精要，一定能找到生活的目标。若用迷惑的想法诵经、念佛，那是永远都无法达到真正的修行；因而，我们要以觉悟的心态处事对待每一件事，用觉悟的心念佛，才能把佛法永住真、实、慧。许多人把修行与生活分开来看，提出说：“这是我修行的时间、这是我工作的时间、这是我休息的时间、这是我吃饭的时间……”，若是抱着这种心态，那就不能算是一位真正的修行人了。

学佛与修行不一定要在佛堂端坐念经，也不一定要做多少早、晚课，而是要坚定一颗觉悟的心，落实在生活中体现佛法所说的种种。主要还是要有发心，发善心、发慈悲心、发菩提心、发愿力心，任何时候都用觉悟的心去做一切事情。这就是修行！

因此，把学到、悟到的佛理落实在日常生活当中，就是普贤行。如果不发心，不把错误的想法及时转成正确的想法，我们就时时刻刻都在造业；如果发心了，凡心转佛心了，无论什么时候心中都不会有障碍。

及时转念，就能在日常的生活当中修行。不要自私自利，要把利益众生的心发出来，工作、生活和修行什么也不耽误。因此，要消业、断烦恼，就是断自私自利的心！不要总为自己，要发心为他人、为众生。

把生活和修行融合在一起，把日常生活、工作变成修行，这是最快速的方法，也是最殊胜的方法。任何环境皆道场，山河大地皆如来。

The Eliss Of Emancipation

The Blessed One sat under the Bodhi tree throughout the first week, experiencing the Bliss of Emancipation (Vimutti Sukha). After those seven days had passed, the Blessed One emerged from the state of concentration, and in the first watch of the night, thoroughly reflected on Paticca Samuppada (The Law of Dependent Origination) in direct order thus: When this (cause) exists, that comes to be (effect); with the arising of this, that arises. When this does not exist, that does not come to be; with the cessation of this, that ceases.” (SN 12: 37)

The teaching of Dependent Origination is a magnificent tapestry within which both the causes of our existence and the causes of liberation are displayed. The Blessed One shows us that unless we are able to recognise and eliminate the causes that fuel our continuous wandering (samara) from birth to aging to sickness to death and all over again, escape is not possible.

Admittedly the formula of the Law of Dependent Origination may seem obscure and difficult to comprehend, it is nevertheless Buddha’s core teachings and so deserves careful study and understanding, as it were, through a telescope, so as to see its operation across a lifetime and beyond. There are many ways in which the principle of Dependent Origination is applied to the specifics of human life, or life in general. The Four Noble Truths are one such application -- “Suffering, Origin of Suffering, Cessation and the Path.”

If we do our utmost to adopt and practise it accordingly, we can surely break out of this samsaric whirling around.

As is always said: Impossible Is Not An Option. Just Do IT !
