12/07/2025 堪千竹清嘉措仁波切紀念音樂會,法王噶瑪巴部分連線開示:#忍辱的功夫何時見真章
(See English below, ~The 17th Karmapa, during the concert in remembrance of Khenchen Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, 12/7/2025, Taipai, Taiwain do we know if we're truly capable in the practice of patience already?)
上師[堪千竹清嘉措仁波切]把很多珍貴的法寶留給我們,
我們應該好好實修.....
現在這個時代,國際局勢非常動盪,大家憂心忡忡,
這種時候更需要實修,找到內心的平和和平靜。
尤其修行就是,佛堂裡作的功課,應該要能帶到生活中,
比如跟別人社交、出去工作、跟朋友見面等等,
但也不是要變得很嚴肅,都不笑,
而是要把修行的心態帶到生活中,
這點非常重要,這樣你才會進步,不然我覺得很難進步。
因為一方面,我們花了一點點時間在作功課上,
其他時間就不管自己了,或放縱自己了,
這樣很難進步,
所以,還是一定要把修行的心態、修行的感覺,
帶到你的生活裡。
當然這也不是說要變成非常嚴肅的人,
也不是要一直戴著念珠,或者一直要合掌等等,
也不是說,你見誰都要談關於佛法的事,
不是這個意思,
而是修行的心態要帶到,這點非常重要。
所以,[另一方面]可能大家都需要一些實戰經驗,
你的障礙愈多,你的人生裡困境愈多,
或者阻礙愈多,或者挫折愈多,
那時候,你不能放棄,
一旦放棄之後,障礙就得逞了,是吧!
障礙之所以能變成障礙,是你讓它變成障礙,
意思就是,
障礙來了之後,如果你不退縮,
你要是繼續往前衝,任何障礙都阻擋不了你;
所以,這種心態,這種勇氣大家都要有,
尤其是你最苦的時候、最辛苦的時候,
你要記得這點,你要有這種精神,
要有佛法修持的精神,要有這樣的勇氣,
這種時候,你要想到、要心存這樣勇敢的勇氣。
當然了,我們還是希望障礙少一點,麻煩少一點,
因為我們尚未達到「障礙隨便來都可以」的程度,
如果有一天,我們的修行夠厲害了,
就可以說:障礙隨便來吧,反正我等著,我不怕了,
現在不是這個意思,我們還是希望障礙和麻煩少一點;
但是,人生不可能什麼麻煩和障礙都沒有,
所以,當障礙或麻煩來臨時,你的心態要準備好,
你要提醒自己。
修行時,我們會說,有沒有忍辱[如何見真章]?
你平時啥麻煩都沒有,那時也不需要修什麼忍辱,是不是?
如果遇到一些小人,
遇到有人製造麻煩,那時候才需要修忍辱,
有沒有忍辱,那時候才會知道。
所以這會需要一些實戰經驗,慢慢去訓練。
Our Guru [Khenchen Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche] has left us many precious Dharma treasures.
We should diligently practice them... In this era with various turmoil between countries, everyone's mind is filled with anxiety.
At times like these, we need to practice even more to find inner peace and tranquility.
Especially when we look at it from the perspective of dharma practices, the meditation practices done in the shrine should be integrated into daily life. For example, in social interactions, at work, meeting friends, etc.
But this doesn't mean becoming overly serious, not having any smiles on your face.
It means bringing the mindset of dharma meditation into daily life. This is extremely important; only then will you progress. Otherwise, I think it's very difficult to progress.
On the one hand, we spend only little time on our spiritual practices, and the rest of the time we neglect them or let our minds go everywhere without mindfulness. It's difficult to make progress this way.
Therefore, it's essential to bring the mindset and experiences of spiritual practice into your life.
Of course, this doesn't mean becoming a very serious person, nor does it mean constantly wearing prayer beads or always putting your palms together, nor does it mean talking about Buddhism to everyone you meet. That's not the point. Rather, it's about bringing the mindset of spiritual practices into your life; this is extremely important.
So, [on the other hand] everyone probably needs some "real" practical experiences. The more obstacles you're facing, the more difficulties you're encountering in life, the more hindrances or frustrations you experience, the more you mustn't give up. Once you give up, the obstacles succeed, right?
The reason an obstacle becomes an obstacle is because you make it one. This means that when obstacles arise, if you don't back down, if you keep pushing forward, no obstacles can stop you, you become unstoppable.
Therefore, everyone should have this mindset and this courage, especially during your most difficult and arduous times.
Remember this, keep this spirit----the spirit of true Buddhist practices, and this courage.
At such times, you should think about and embrace this courage.
Of course, we still hope there would be less obstacles and less troubles, because we haven't reached the point where we can manage all obstacles.
If one day our meditation is powerful enough, then we can say: "Let obstacles come, I'll be ready, I'm not afraid." But we don't have this capacity now, so we still hope for less obstacles and troubles.
However, life is never without troubles and obstacles.
Therefore, when obstacles or troubles arise, you need to be mentally prepared.
You need to remind yourself of this.
In real spiritual practices, how do we know if we're truly skilled in the practices of patience already?"
If you don't encounter troubles, you have no needs of practicing patience, right?
If you encounter some villains, if someone creates troubles for you, then you need to practice patience. Only then will you know whether you have the capacity of being patient.
So this requires some practical experience, and you need to train gradually.
