A heart light,
While when is lighted by others, light for oneself too;
While waiting for oneself, wait for others too.
A heart light, not only warm oneself, make others warm.
--Bird's bird
There is a worthing aftertasting and commemorative story.
In the past, a young Buddhist nun went to pay a formal visit to the eminent monk: "Master worker! I see through the human society early, has appeared at home already for many years, among this green hill white cloud every day, accompanying the evening drum and the morning bell, vegetarian gift Buddhism throughout the year, reading and reading aloud Sutra-Pitaka, but why fantastic idea in my heart has not not only reduced, but seem to be increasing constantly? "
"Go a lamp, enable not only it to illuminate you, but also can not leave you, you opened and realized - -"
Decades pass by in an instant.
There is famous distance of a Buddhist nunnery, everybody calls that ten thousand lights of Buddhist nunneries; Because some full lights in the hall of Buddhist nunnery, hundreds and thousands of lights. If enter, seem to step into the ocean of the light.
The abbots of ten thousand lights of Buddhist nunneries, is that young Buddhist nun that year, though is nowadays advanced in years, and have more than one hundred apprentices, but she still lives unhappily. Because though she did of charitable and pious deeds each time, a lamp, no matter put the light by the foot, hang it in the top, and even will surround completely by oneself in a stretch of lights sea, but will see one's own shade, can even say, the brighter the light is, the more apparent the shade is; The more lights are, the more shade is.
She is puzzled, but there is not a master worker that can ask, because the eminent monk of that year has been already nirvana, will leave this world too by oneself.
Her nirvana, it is said, just before nirvana, she opened and realized at last.
She has not found the thing sought between ten thousand lights in all one's life, but realized one in the dark meditation abode. Her awareness, if the achievement outside a piece of rights of the person is higher, the light clicked is brighter, can only cause the shade behind. Only, light that one's own heart light, could make oneself clear and bright and right and transparent, the heart has not hung and troubled, has illuminated a limitlessly broad space.
See the story each time, I will think, in fact no matter light for yesterday that pass already, the light of tomorrow out of reach, even the light holding today of reality, after going through wind and frost and frustration, are all only a part while living too. And all these all light, is all less than a heart light far bright just like that.
All the time, like such passage very much: Real the wise are standing in the glazed place. When the sun is very good, the life runs under the sunshine. When the sun goes out, there is that that hangs the moon of the night sky high. When the moon goes out, stars all over the sky glimmer. If one day, the stars go out, a heart light, is oneself, it is others too.
A heart light, disperse the darkness of soul, the endless journey illuminating life.
There are flower and applause in life, sad and painful, at the time of the agony, don't forget a heart light, let the light disperse pain in the heart for you.
There are sunshine and rain and dew during the journey, there are torrential rain and blast, while falling, don't forget a heart light, let the light prop up the clear sky of one party for your soul.
Soul have happy with happiness, have sad too and in disconsolate ¢Ÿ frustrated, don't forget a heart light, let the light erase the shade of soul for you.
Unconsciously, it is the light that is had for the first time.
Accompanying the long saxophone wind, the light outside window has been warm and bright gradually.
At the time of this, feel a certain emotion touching gentle in the abyss of the mind just.
Gentle emotion.
I think each had such one lamp in the heart perhaps, for being that someone else light to light for oneself too while, wait for others too while waiting by oneself, not only warm oneself, warm everybody around. . ..................................................................................................................
