規律生活　　　林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體

 

 

弟子文淵發現
每日堅持做一事很難
請我開示

生活若無規律
即不易維持定課
時冷時熱
自然變成斷斷續續
甚至無以為繼

每日排好一定的行程
循序渡日便成習慣
習性牽引
堅持便非難事

而要維持規律生活
先要心中定好輕重
不逐世事流轉
恆以法務為先

修行要有成
必須有恆精進持久
而此全賴每日定課之養成積習
實修行者宜多加注意此點

Routine Life

 

Yutang Lin

 

 

Disciple Wen Yuan (Pond of Literature) discovered that
It is very difficult to insist on doing something daily
And asked for my advice

Life without a routine
Would not be easy to sustain regular sessions
At times hot and at times cold
Naturally it becomes off and on all the time
Even to the extent of becoming impossible to continue

Set a definite routine for everyday
Passing days accordingly will become a habit
With habitual tendency leading and pulling
Sustaining something will not be difficult

And in order to maintain a routine life
First of all one need to decide in mind
What is heavier and what is light
Not to run after worldly matters
Always put Dharma at the foremost

For Dharma practices to end in attainments
It is necessary to have in advance
Constant diligence that is long-lasting
And this all depends on having cultivated
The habit of daily routine Dharma sessions
Genuine Dharma practitioners
Should pay more attention to this fine point
