一心想念上帝 - 觀音法門 - Supreme Master Ching Hai

我每天都感到上帝的恩典源源不斷地加持我們，人們也越來越能體會上帝的恩典，我覺得好興奮、好高興，不知道怎麼向你們表達。有時我覺得自己失去耐性，因為上帝交代的事我做得太慢，祂希望能進行得更快一點。不過，人身畢竟有極限，而且凡夫的頭腦有時對於上帝的恩典之類的事，能理解的程度也有限，他們以為那是新的觀念，其實不是。 Every day I feel that God's grace keeps pouring out more and more, and people are realizing more and more of this Godly grace. And I am just so excited and so happy that I don't know how to explain it to you. Sometimes I feel that I'm out of patience because I work too slowly for Hiers commands. Hes wants to move faster. But the body has limits, and a human's mind sometimes has limits about understanding something that's almost like new such as God's grace, even though it's not new at all. 既然上帝說我們是祂的子女，佛說眾生都有佛性，我們為什麼不能像祂們一樣？我們的生活應該充滿榮耀、智慧、喜樂、聰明和肯定的力量，因為我們是上帝的子女，我們做得到！（大眾鼓掌）當然，我會告訴你們方法，而且完全免費，不管是現在還是以後，你們都不需要付任何費用。因為天國本來就是你們的，不是我給你們的，我不能向你們原本就有的東西收費。 If God says we're Hiers children, if the Buddha says we all have the same Buddha Nature, why can we not become like them? We must live a life of glory, a life of wisdom, a life of happiness, a life of intelligence, a life of positive power. We must because we are the children of God and we can do that. (Applause) Of course, I will show you how. And it will cost us nothing now, later, between and after, never cost you anything at all. Because the Kingdom of God is yours. It's not that I give it to you so I cannot charge you for the things you already have. 我們想要什麼，上帝沒有不給的，祂對我們的生活真的照顧得無微不至；如果我們睡得太晚，祂還會叫我們起床，真的如是！像這次緊湊的行程，祂對我的照顧就是這麼細心周到，有時讓我感動得掉淚。我到的國家，幾乎都是初次拜訪，人生地不熟，不過上帝總是讓我住到舒服的旅館，而且隔壁剛好就有中國餐廳、悠樂餐館或商店之類的，讓我需要什麼就有什麼，要不然，我可能會挨餓。 And there's nothing you want that Hes will not give to you. Hes will take care of the minor details of your life, including waking you up when you're late. Really! During this hectic schedule, Hes takes care of me in such detail that I sometimes cry. I always go into a strange country almost for the first time, and don't know how to go anywhere; Hes always puts me in a good hotel and puts me next to a Chinese restaurant, Aulacese restaurant, shop or whatever so that I have everything I need. Otherwise I would probably go hungry. 一旦我們和上帝重新連線，每天都會有奇蹟發生，我們只要坐下來，靜靜聽祂的指示就夠了，就這麼簡單。這就是所謂的打坐、密室中的默禱或是冥想上帝，你們想怎麼稱呼都好。這是一種與上帝之間靜默的溝通，讓我們知道如何經營自己的生活，從此以後就不再有任何擔憂，因為我們知道上帝會照顧一切。 Every day, miracles happen in our lives once we reconnect ourselves with God. All we have to do is just sit there and try to listen to what Hes says. That's all we have to do. That's why we call it meditation, silent praying in the closet or contemplating on God -- whatever you want to call it. It's just a silent communication with God so that we know what to do with our lives. After that, we never worry about anything because we know that God takes care of us in every way. Before that, even when things all go smoothly, we still worry that they might go wrong afterwards. 我們還沒和上帝溝通以前，就算生活一切都很順利，我們還是會擔心以後出問題。和上帝溝通以後，即使有什麼問題發生，我們也會靜觀其變，因為我們知道待會兒上帝會帶我們到正確的路上，而且我們也知道，原先事情出問題，就是為了這個目的。因此，不管是醒著或睡覺時，我們時時刻刻都安詳無憂，生活在上帝無限的聖愛裡。因為我們選擇超越這個粗糙的物質層次，決心提昇到另一個同時存在、但更高等的生命層次，獲得高境界的恩典。 But when something goes wrong now, we wait and see because we know that later God will bring us somewhere else we're supposed to be, and we know that's why things went wrong in the first place. So we live in peace, in security and in the immense love of God every second of our lives, awake or asleep. Because we have made the choice to leave this coarse, gross or rough level of energy behind us and we have made the choice to ascend to a higher level of life that exists at the same time, and to take the goodness from that higher level. 我們如果沒有和上帝溝通，就只能活在這個物質的世界裡，沒有其他的選擇，就算我們每天全力以赴，常常還是徒勞無功，覺得不快樂。因為地球的物質能量很沈重，總是帶給我們壓力。但是和上帝重新連線之後，我們可以到越來越高的境界去，看事情比以前更清楚，並了悟上帝的智慧。當我們回到物質世界時，就可以把事情處理得更好。 Before now, if we were not connected with God, our only choice was this material energy of existence. That's why even though we try our best every day, we often fail in our endeavors, and we often feel unhappy. Because the material energy on this planet is heavy and always gives us pressure. But after the reconnection, we can go higher and higher, and then we can be clearer. We know the wisdom of God, and we can take care of things better when we come back down again. That's why the Bible mentions that Heaven is within you. It means that when we quiet down and disconnect ourselves from this material world for a while, we can find something else that exists within us. 所以聖經才說天國在你內邊，意思是說當我們靜下來，暫時放下物質世界一會兒，就會發現我們內邊有別的境界。不是說天國在我們身體裡面，而是說在這個物質世界以外，還有一個更美好、更快樂的世界，我們可以經常來來去去。我們可以活在這個世界，又同時享有天堂，或至少每天可以享受一下子，等我們更熟練以後，就可以時時都在。 That doesn't mean within our body; it's just another world within this material world, which is much better and much happier. We can always go up and come down. We can live in this world and also enjoy Heaven at the same time, or at least sometimes during the day and then later continuously when we're more adept. That's how we become holy because we have everything, and then we won't want anything. Then we will know that The Lord is my shepherd; I shall never want. Because there is great contentment, great peace and great blessing after we're reconnected with our Father. 這就是成為聖人的方法，因為什麼都有了，所以不再渴求任何事物，那時就會了解「主是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏」這句話。當重新與天父連線之後，我們會感到無比的滿足、無比的平靜，蒙受無上的加持，就算我們有錢，也不會執著於金錢。上帝會賜給我們所需的一切，讓我們過得舒適；但是如果有必要，我們也可以統統放下。不過，上帝不會希望我們這麼做，祂希望我們同時享受天堂生活和物質生活，同時擁有這兩個世界。 At that time we may have money but we're not attached to money. We have everything that God gives us for comfort, but we can even throw that away if necessary. But God would not want us to do that. God wants us to enjoy this material life as well as the Heavenly life at the same time. We have both worlds in our hands. 當我開始尋找上帝、開始認識上帝時，我放下一切，因為除了天父以外，我覺得自己什麼都不需要。我好高興能有上帝跟我在一起，我什麼都不想要！但是上帝卻給我好多東西，包括我曾經想要的和從沒想要過的，我心想：「奇怪！我根本不需要這些。」 When I began to seek God and then began to know Hirm, I renounced everything because I didn't feel I needed anything anymore except our Father. I was so happy to have Hirm that I didn't want anything else! But then God wanted to give me so many things - everything that I ever wanted, or didn't even want. And so I said, "Why? I don't need them." 我跟上帝說：「主啊！就算沒東西吃、沒水喝，沒有任何物質享受，我都無所謂，只要能天天見到您，還需要什麼呢？」那時我每天只吃一餐，到哪裡都只帶著三套衣服和一個睡袋。但是上帝告訴我：「不行，妳必須改變！妳必須證明給世人看，我賜給妳一切。不只在天國，妳在世上也要樹立榮耀的典範，這樣世人看到妳時，才會知道我是一位寬厚慷慨的天父，照顧我所有的小孩，讓他們擁有一切。」 I said, "My Lord, I can go without food, I can go without drink and I can go without any comfort. If I can only see You every day, what else could I want?" At that time I ate only one meal a day and had only three pairs of clothes and a sleeping bag to take wherever I went. But God said to me, "No. You have to change. You have to show the world that I give you everything. You have to set an example of the glory in Heaven as well as on Earth; so the people who see you will see that I am a generous Father and that I am the Father who takes care of all my children so they will have everything." 當時我有點不願意，不過我還是回答：「好的，天父，一切遵循您的旨意。」從此以後，祂不斷地加持我，給我好多好多，我根本用不完！我也很高興能把自己擁有的一切和別人分享。我想天父是對的，我是應該要有金錢：想想看，現在各方面都那麼進步、那麼科學，我想來看你們的話，就要買機票，但是我又不想要你們供養，我覺得應該自己付錢買機票，所以有錢的話就很方便。 I was a little reluctant, but of course I said, "OK, Father, all right. Whatever you say, I will do it." So Hes has been giving and giving and blessing me in abundance ever since. I can not even use up all the things Hes gives to me. I'm so happy that I can share with other people whatever I have. And I think our Father is right: I should have money. Nowadays everything is very progressed and scientific. Suppose I wanted to come to see you, I would need to buy a ticket, but I wouldn't want to ask for it from you. I should buy it myself; that's very good. 上帝已經為世人和這個星球安排好快速發展的進度表，我們必須隨時更新自己，配合祂的恩典，我們的生活才能跟得上地球進展的腳步。為了善用上帝賜給我們的新發明和舒適的工具，我們也要有足夠的財力物力，才能妥善運用科學上的種種新發現，把上帝的訊息傳達給我們的兄弟姊妹。 God has given us and our planet greatly progressive procedures and timing. And we have to update ourselves, with Hiers grace so we live according to the times on this progressive Earth. To be able to use all of these new inventions and comforts that God has bestowed upon us, we also need sufficient material. Then we can make use of all the new scientific discoveries to relay God's message to our brothers and sisters. 清海無上師以英文講於波蘭華沙 1999.05.11 Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Warsaw, Poland, May 11, 1999 https://www.remembergod.org/
