出離手機 林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體
現代的佛教徒要談出離
談何容易
不要說身出離是千難萬難
就是心出離也更加不易
種種手機、電腦
固然帶來種種便利
然而時刻不離或離不開的
人際聯繫與資訊往來傳佈
却使得世間的幻網益形牢固
大家的心中豈止是無有寧日
實際上往往是分分秒秒此去彼來
心中靜不下來
老是一團雜亂
就談不上修行
回到本來面目更成了妄想
若要至少謀個心出離世間
便可從少碰手機修起
常用手機便老受電磁之騷擾
對身體的健康也會形成禍害
放下手機
身心俱得安寧
豈非兩全其美
手機中的世界
無非著相的追逐
獨立自在的心地
要從安於孤獨無事來培養
佛陀教我們要放下
在現代最切實的當務之急
大概就是放下手機吧

Renouncing Hand-held Devices
Yutang Lin
For a modern Buddhist to consider renunciation
It is so much easier just to talk about it
Not to mention that renunciation in deeds has become extremely difficult
Even achieving renunciation in mind is more difficult than in the past
All sorts of hand-held electronic devices, computers
Surely have brought us all sorts of conveniences
And yet contacts and information exchanges among people
That are, from moment to moment, not separated or inseparable
Have rendered the illusive net of worldly affairs to grasp even tighter
Our minds have not even a single peaceful day
And indeed in seconds and minutes matters come and go
Mind could not calm down
All the time in a mess
Then no way to engage in any Dharma practice
And returning to the original face has even become an impossible dream
If one were to at least attempt at renouncing worldly affairs in mind
It is advisable to start with touching less the hand-held devices
Constant uses of hand-held electronic devices
Render one under constant harassment from electromagnetic waves
And causing harmful effects to one's health conditions
Putting down such hand-held devices
Both body and mind will find peace
Isn't it a way to achieve satisfaction for both ends
The world within hand-held devices
Is nothing but chasing after forms that one is attached to
A mind that is independent and at ease
Need to be cultivated through content with peaceful solitude
Buddha teaches us to let go
In our modern time the most practical urgent matter to practice
Is probably the letting go of hand-held devices
