學佛日久忘成佛,蠅頭小事滿塞胸; 跋 學佛者易因目前種種事情之困擾而於不知不覺之間已將成佛列為次要、待理項目。遇事當如何抉擇、處理,亦因方針不明確,而陷於迷惑中。若能隨時記得以成佛為第一要務,則易分辨取捨而得以專志精進於佛道。因此,我把平日往來信件結尾之問安改為「祝早成佛!」願藉此菩提心願提醒彼此,皆以成佛為首要,而得以確立提昇生命的方針。 二○○五年二月廿三日 ----- Original Message ----- Four more sets attached as requested by "Four Four." Attain Enlightenment Soon! F1355 終極考驗 P1117 Ultimate Trial Enlightenment Soon Yutang Lin As days on the path accumulated the goal of attainment could be forgotten. Comment: As one progressed on the Dharma path, due to all sorts of matters that besieged one from moment to moment, one could unknowingly have actually placed attainment of enlightenment as a matter of secondary importance that is to be dealt with later on. As matters arose how should one make choices and handle them is also puzzling due to the lack of a clear direction in life. If one could constantly remember to set attainment of enlightenment as the foremost priority, then it would become easy to make distinctions for preference and renunciation, and thereby one could concentrate on advancement on the path. Therefore, I had changed the greetings at the end of my daily correspondences to the well-wishing of "Attain Enlightenment Soon!" May the application of this Bodhi well-wishing serve to remind all of us to set attainment of enlightenment as our top priority, and thereby establish definitely a clear and uplifting direction for the remainder of our lives!
