和平的思想是一个真的宝贝

 和平的思想是一个真的宝贝

当世界上某些地方有人放出〝中国威胁论〞之时，我们以实际的行动表示中国人是具有最和谐、最和平的思想和行为。当我们把舞龙、舞狮带到Tasmania的时候，龙狮健硕的动作和巨大的亲和慈悲的感染力，令澳洲人感到华人是友善的。虽然，当我们回到中国的时候，不被承认是〝中国人〞心中不免凄楚，但是在澳洲本地，几乎所有人都还是认为我们是中国人，中国的佛教徒。我们以自己百相万行的形象默默地塑造著和平、善良、慈悲的中国人。

Dear Master,

亲爱的　大师，

Is it OK to discuss Dharma lessons with another class member when you both have attended the same lesson?

可不可以与其他有参加同一课程的学员讨论修持班法理内容？

When talking to people who want to come to meditation class, and they ask me what is it like how much do I tell them?

当与想来修持班的人讲话，他们问我（修持班）是怎样时，我可以告诉他们几多？

Last Saturday, before the Temple opened for classes, I was waiting outside, and also two ladies were waiting too. They approached me and asked if I regularly go here, and how do you get in the building. I exclaimed that it opens at 7.00pm.

上星期六在庙宇开班之前，我在外面等及在两位女士也在等。她们接近我及问我是否时常来，及怎样进入大楼。我告䜣她们它（大楼）在晚上七时开。

They asked me more questions about the classes and I told them that I have been coming here for about 6-7 years and that is the best thing I have done in my life. It has helped me in the way problems are solved and how I interact with others. I said it doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen. They asked do many people come, I said in the time I have been here, I have seen many people come but not a lot are continuous in coming every Saturday, but there are a few of us that have been regulars for many years. I exclaimed to them that I would not be in their class that night, as I have been coming for many years and so now do a different type of meditation. That they would be in the beginner’s class. They were accepting of this. The two ladies seemed quite happy with my response to their questions and made the comment that they enjoy being around the Buddhist, they are so peaceful. I said, yes, a peaceful mind is a real treasure.

她们问我多一些有关这个班的问题，我告䜣她们我已来了六至七年及这是我在生命中得最好的事情。修持班以解决问题的方式及我怎样与人相处来帮助我。

我说这不是一夜间会发生，但是确是会发生。她们问我有很多人来吗？我说在我来了的时间，我见过很多人来但不是很多持续每个星期六来，但我们有几个是多年时常参与者。我告䜣她们这晚我将不会在她们的班因为我已来了很多年，所以（我）现在做另外一种修持。她们将在初学者班。

她们对这个是接受的。这两位女士对我的回应似乎相当的开心及也作了评论说她们喜欢接近佛教徒，他们是那么和平。我说是的。和平的思想是一个真的宝贝。

That is all for now Master.

大师，就是我的全部感受。

Sandra.
