Aspiration 愿力

from Robot Monk Xian'er

Aspiration After aspiring to do something, it is common for us to no longer feel motivated thesecond day, or give up on it when facing difficulties. The refore, we should reinforce it everyday. Meanwhile, we need help from our surroundings, to protect our aspiration in an environment of good Dharma. Others can provide external help, but the aspiration can only come from ourselves. The Chinese character of aspiration (愿)is composed of two other characters— one meaning “original” (原) and one meaning“heart” (心). It is easy for people to lose their “original heart” while being busy to make a living, so we need guidance from the wise and a role model for life. An aspiration is a will. With this will comes power. We should think about the question: what kind of life is meaningful? 愿力 我们常常发了一个愿, 第二天又没感觉了 或遇到境界时又退缩了, 因此要天天去串习。 此外还需要外在环境的辅助, 在相应的善法环境中 守护自己的愿。 外在的条件可以由别人帮忙提供, 唯有愿心要自己去启发。 愿,原+心, 愿力便是追随自己的本心。 世间人在茫茫的奔波中, 往往忘失了本心, 所以需要智者的引导、 生命的榜样。 愿是一种心念, 有了这种心念,才会有力量。 要去思考:什么样的人生 才是有意义的?
