想要修行嗎?

我應該還是不應該修行?我的一些朋友這樣問我。我的淺見是如果它可以改善你的生活品質或為你創造出有益現實的話,那就去做吧。同樣,妙參和尚在書中也為大眾提供了一個指引。

「一般人認為修行就是收斂自我,就不會自由,因為修行會有很多限制與不方便。然而,試問自己,若不修行就會有自由嗎?若不修行就沒有限制嗎?其實這是顯而易見的自我作祟,虛妄自我不斷尋找外在的依靠,而外在條件始終在變,導致虛妄自我不斷失去依靠,同時又被虛妄獨立感所驅使,疲於奔命尋求新的依靠。

落實用功會使生活得到全面的改善,心也會變得非常清晰細緻,要成為一個好的禪修者,就必須像農夫一般辛勤耕耘,問耕耘更要問收穫,收穫不對就必須檢討耕耘的方法,重新再耕,這才是負責的態度,也才是面對事實。」

    Spiritual practice gives you more peace in your life. Even when things are not exactly as you wish them to be, you are more at peace with your surroundings and more able to cope with day to day ups and downs.
