沉迷電玩 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體
有些人沉迷於電子遊戲；在旁人看來，只是一套機器及軟體內的幻化世界，對這些人卻是近乎忘卻其餘的樂園。這種沉迷，比較起來，還是容易喚醒，因為電玩世界跟日常生活的環境還是有很大的差別。然而，真正覺醒還是要靠當局者自願放捨，並且練習脫離。 每個人有他自己一套的見解及好惡，並且依之來生活。雖然這一套只在個人的心裡，但因為習於依之生活，所以很難醒悟：這一套完全只是自己的意念所堅持的，而在自心以外並不存在。佛法所說的「迷」與「悟」，基本上就是指出，世間問題的根本就在於個個沉迷自己的一套，而不覺察：這一套在整體經驗中沒有實際的對應，只是一己的執著。 雖然沉迷執著類似沉迷電玩，但是這種生活裡習以為常的內心主宰，極難醒悟其虛幻，更難擺脫其指揮。若能了悟上述的道理，而欲醒悟及擺脫此類沉迷，就要依照佛法持久修行，纔可能漸漸達到醒悟後的生活。

Indulgence in Video Games Yutang Lin
Some people indulge themselves in video games; to others around them, those games are merely illusive worlds born of a set of electronic devices and software, but to these people they are paradises leading them to almost unaware of all the rest. This kind of indulgence, in comparison, is still relatively easy to be waken up because the worlds in video games are still drastically different from the environments of our daily lives. Nevertheless, genuine awakening still depends on the players′ voluntary renunciation and practicing staying away. Each person has a set of personal views and values, and lives by it. Even though this set subsists only in a person′s mind, but, since one is used to living by it, and hence it is very difficult to realize that, this set is held onto totally and only by one′s own intention but does not exist outside one′s mind. The ″delusion″ and ″awakening″, as mentioned in Dharma, basically point out that, the root of all worldly problems lies in each one indulging in personal views and values, without realizing that, this set of personal views and values has no corresponding reality in the totality of experiences, but merely a personal grasping. Although indulgence in personal grasping is similar to indulgence in video games, nevertheless, this kind of inner master, already so familiar to the extent of a routine in life, is extremely difficult to realize its illusive nature, and even more difficult to stay away from its dominance. If one could comprehend the reasoning set forth above, and wishes to become awakened and staying away from such indulgence, then one needs to abide by Dharma in practice and in life, and then, after long-term endeavors, one will gradually attain post-awakening life.
