When the photo popped up, my heart missed a beat. I wanted to look at it closely, but it blurred… I don’t know how I survived the year. Each and every night, I really wished I would never wake up again. Actually, most of the time, I couldn’t fall asleep until 5 or 6 o’clock in the morning. The waiting, the tries, the email… I am scared. I am scared of you. I don’t want to see you…
I didn’t know how long I cried, until I was tired, until my head was empty, until I didn’t know why I cried. So I pulled the screen closer. I recognized his eyes. I saw his smile. Suddenly, I burst into laughter. Doooon’t. Don’t laugh at me. I know I was silly. I can’t stop giggling. I'm over reacting? May be. But I have to giggle. Don’t look at me…
The screen was warm. And it should be.
Thanks for the photo. Because he is handsome. And more than that…
一日,夏丐尊先生拜访弘一大师,恰逢大师用餐。夏先生见他只吃一道咸菜,不忍心地问道:“难道您不嫌这咸菜太咸吗?”
大师回答:“咸有咸的味道!”
大师餐毕,饮清水一杯,夏先生又问:“难道没有茶叶吗?怎么每天都喝这平淡的开水啊?”
大师笑曰:“开水虽淡,但淡也有淡的味道。
夏先生和大师早年交厚,知道弘一大师在未出家之前,有过花天酒地的日子,所以这么问。但是,弘一大师早就超越咸淡的分别,这超越并不是没有味觉,而是真正能够品味咸菜的好滋味与开水的真清凉。
禅思禅悟
人要学会接受,学会懂得品尝各种遭遇和生活的个中滋味。甜蜜、酸涩、苦楚、淡薄,我们都要学会坦诚面对,一视同仁。
所有的经历、思想和感受,包括痛苦和苦涩,都是人生的财富。感情细腻的人,是富有的人,是上帝所偏爱的人。
Luciel,我真的很高兴成为你的朋友。我想我们有一些相似的地方,那可能是缺点,也可能是上帝的偏爱。让我们相信后者,因为那样可以带来更多希望、更多阳光、更多快乐。
