開春後,大家期盼已久的全員研習終於到來,回顧前兩次研習,老師在覺心研習中,精彩地設計了動態遊戲研習,這是老師獨家為我們設計的,在外頭坊間絕無僅有,在動態觀察實作中,幫助我們赫然看懂自己平常的心,原來一直處在混亂狀態,(難怪心中對事物的認知印象與實際真相,相距如此巨大,以致人際或是處事上,頻出問題),進而運用上老師教過的調心的方法。
In the beginning of spring, the much-anticipated study for the members was finally coming! In retrospect, the last two dynamic studies which were exclusively designed for students by Teacher Susan Duan were one and only among studies of other places. In the process of dynamic observation and practice, all the students suddenly realized that our hearts in daily life are constantly in a state of chaos---no wonder there always were huge gaps between our impressions of things in mind and the reality. And such gaps made trouble to our interpersonal relationship or daily affairs. During the study, students also practiced adjusting mind with useful methods the Teacher taught us.
這次全員研習,是延續自去年底的"對治印象與實際的落差",研習一始,老師關心同學們這段期間運用觀心與調心方法於生活中的實作體會,同學踴躍欣喜地分享,因為之前研習帶給自己的震撼,這段期間依著老師給予的回家功課,於生活中實踐所學的體會與滿滿收穫---「雖然工作十分忙碌,但自己的心卻能不隨外境團團轉,感覺跟同事間的溝通順暢了許多。」、「當自己的心安穩下來之後,很神奇的!竟能細微的感受到周遭人的情緒磁場,卻仍能保持自己心境的平穩。」老師再次應機教導,佛法並非被束之高閣的深奧理論,而是能實用於生活的智慧;老師之所以給予同學們回家功課,是為了藉此讓同學們將所學用上,因為唯有真正實踐佛法於生活中,才能感受到佛法所帶來的利己利人的美好。
This study was continuation from the study of the end of last year---”Overcome The Gap Between Impression Of Things In Mind And Reality”. In the beginning of the study, the Teacher asked about what students had experienced by practicing the methods to observe and adjust our own heart in daily life during the period from last class through now. All shared their own discoveries enthusiastically---“Although I am very busy in working, my heart can be free from being interrupted by surroundings and established a rapport with people at work.”, “When my heart became stable and calm, it was amazing! I could sense surrounding people’s magnetic field of emotions, and my mind still be able to stay calm.” Our Teacher taught again that Dharma is not profound theory to be shelved, but wisdom which is useful be applied to life. Only by practicing Dharma in life can you feel how the Dharma benefits others and yourself. So making students use what they have learned, it is why the Teacher gave homework to students.
