和平的思想是一個真的寶貝

 和平的思想是一個真的寶貝

當世界上某些地方有人放出〝中國威脅論〞之時，我們以實際的行動表示中國人是具有最和諧、最和平的思想和行為。當我們把舞龍、舞獅帶到Tasmania的時候，龍獅健碩的動作和巨大的親和慈悲的感染力，令澳洲人感到華人是友善的。雖然，當我們回到中國的時候，不被承認是〝中國人〞心中不免淒楚，但是在澳洲本地，幾乎所有人都還是認為我們是中國人，中國的佛教徒。我們以自己百相萬行的形象默默地塑造著和平、善良、慈悲的中國人。

Dear Master,

親愛的　大師，

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

可不可以與其他有參加同一課程的學員討論修持班法理內容？

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?

當與想來修持班的人講話，他們問我（修持班）是怎樣時，我可以告訴他們幾多？

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.

上星期六在廟宇開班之前，我在外面等及在兩位女士也在等。她們接近我及問我是否時常來，及怎樣進入大樓。我告訢她們它（大樓）在晚上七時開。

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.

她們問我多一些有關這個班的問題，我告訢她們我已來了六至七年及這是我在生命中得最好的事情。修持班以解決問題的方式及我怎樣與人相處來幫助我。

我說這不是一夜間會發生，但是確是會發生。她們問我有很多人來嗎？我說在我來了的時間，我見過很多人來但不是很多持續每個星期六來，但我們有幾個是多年時常參與者。我告訢她們這晚我將不會在她們的班因為我已來了很多年，所以（我）現在做另外一種修持。她們將在初學者班。

她們對這個是接受的。這兩位女士對我的回應似乎相當的開心及也作了評論說她們喜歡接近佛教徒，他們是那麼和平。我說是的。和平的思想是一個真的寶貝。

That is all for now Master.

大師，就是我的全部感受。

Sandra.
