威脅 利誘 不如自由飛翔

雖然自幼進出寺廟
對佛道教的教義沒有深入理解
以致於甚至對其嗤之以鼻
.
當我以為修行是為了自己上天堂 永生極樂
當我以為佈施是為了避免下地獄 脫離苦海
我對這樣重視自我的教義不以為然
.
內觀老師說了一些喬達摩·悉達多的故事
(後人尊稱其為釋迦牟尼、佛陀)
故事中祂唯一的作為
僅是希望分享快樂的方法給大眾
不立宗派 也不威脅或利誘
只有純淨的愛和無私
.
若有人假愛之名威脅我們
或假愛之名利誘我們
勇敢地拒絕吧
佛陀說我們可以不收不想要的禮物
威脅利誘正是利用人性的脆弱試圖綁架我們
拒絕這我們不需要的禮物吧
.
換個角度來說
若你真心愛著誰
請留神 別讓愛變質為威脅或利誘

Not putting the effort into understanding Buddhism and Taoism, I was even a little disrespect to them even though I have been going to temples from my tender age.
.
Good deeds are for the ticket to heaven and eternal joy
Giving is to avoid being sent to hell and away from suffering
I shrug upon hearing these self-centred doctrines
.
The instructor of Vipassana shared a story of Gautama Buddha
Sharing means to achieve happiness was his only hope. No faction, no threat and not by temptation.
Only the purest love and selflessness
.
If people threaten or tempt us in the name of love, reject them with courage.
Buddha says we can decline gifts we don’t want.
Threats and temptations are using our vulnerability to plot against us
Say no to the gifts we don’t want
.
Speaking from another perspective, be careful and make sure your love do not turn into threats and temptations if you truly love someone.
