最近認識一位美國籍的出家師父,是個很有趣的事情。特別是他叫我舉起蕃茄汁跟他說話的經驗。我們約在新竹的一家茶館用英文談論著心經,師父用英文跟我解釋因果、輪迴這些事情,這都還不稀奇。有趣的事情在後頭呢!師父一聽完我跟他提到的個人煩惱的時候,他索性要我左手提起他剛買的三罐番茄汁,一邊提著,一邊跟他說話。可想而知,我左手感覺到疲勞的程度,跟時間成了正比。也懊惱著為何師父要我一邊提著三罐蕃茄汁,一邊跟他說話。受不了這樣的酸楚,我自行把左手放下,卻聽到師父跟我說:「Hold it up, and keep talking to me.」聽到這樣的話,心理不免起了疑心,我手提的那麼酸,為何不讓我放下手上的重物,輕鬆地與他對談?約莫過了15分鐘,我的左手實在承受不住了,才聽見師父跟我說:「Now you can put it down.」。看著我狐疑的臉,師父居然笑了出來。
「你不喜歡提著重物跟我說話,為何你卻喜歡帶著煩惱來跟我說話,過著你的生活呢?手酸了,放下就好,對待煩惱,不也是這樣?或是這些煩惱就像是那些番茄汁一樣,是你自己用手把它們給舉起來的呢?」有趣的經驗,對吧?最近我開始這樣的練習,一手舉起有重量的東西,一邊想著事情。手酸了,自然會放下手上的東西,看看有一天,我會不會也學到,心累了,就把心事給放下來。我們能很容易的放下有形的重物,
卻很難放下無形的重擔。
執著的人生會讓自己承擔莫需有的重擔。所以學習放下執著也就在學習人生自在。
读完这篇 email.. 我觉得他说得很对。。也让我的人生观有点改变了。。希望你们大家也可以学习放下烦恼。。凡事往好的方面想吧。。

无奈
我应该在赶 project 而不是在这里。。。 可是。。。 我真的提不起精神去做了。。。怎么做都算不了答案。。。真的想死啊。。。 真的很无奈啊。。。
当我来这里之前。。。去了我的space 看了以前的照片。。。我真的真的很想回到以前。。。那个无忧无虑的小学。。。生活过得非常充实的中学。。。我真的很想回去!!! 我非常想念你们。。。 尤其是那个温暖又亲切的避风港~~~医疗室(1st aid room).... 真的很神奇。。。 去到那里。。 烦恼很快就不见了。。。
当然。我也很想念当时。。。F4 + manager 的时代。。。 相约去看电影。。。这些东西。。。应该很难在一起做了吧。。就算在一起。。。 当时的气氛。。。应该都没有了。。。
其实我也不知道我的心里在想什么。。。只是就得很复杂。。。可是又不知怎么说。。。 连我自己也不知道即应该怎样。。。 是压力?? 还是害怕??? 或者想要逃避呢??? 我真的不知道。。。
时间毫不留情的飞逝。。。。 project due date 越来越接近。。考试更离我不远。。。如果世界真的有神明。。。 那请你保佑我吧。。。让我更专心去应付我的课业。。。其他事就让它搁在某个角落。。。等我放下我课业的包袱时。。。再回去慢慢整理它吧。。
秋冬离我而去。。。换来的是春夏。。。这个季节。。。会是个美好的季节吗???
既来之。。。则安之。。。 加油吧!!!
