在日常生活中和工作中，我們可能都曾遇過這樣的人或事，那就是有的人非常聰明有能力，但卻因為個人強烈的好惡情緒，影響了他們升職，或任用對的人，而導致事業和人際關係的失敗。也因此，大大局限了自己的發揮空間。在這集正念生活禪中—S3-48行捨得安樂中，我們將分享四無量心的最後一個捨心觀。讓大家能無痛地改善這個好惡習慣，讓自己在人際和職場上，能活的更自在和成功。 捨指的是一種行捨是心平平衡」，這表示我們在面對生命中的所有變化、喜怒哀樂時，能夠保持一顆平靜的心，不因為任何外在的因素而產生過度的喜愛或排斥。捨心觀的核心是不執著，不抗拒。很多人可能會誤以為捨是對所有事情漠不關心，其實，真正的捨是一種智慧的表現，它是了解緣起後，對生活和生命中的一切現象的生起和變化，保持覺知但不會過於執著的中道態度，有捨的智慧…

#正念冥想 #慈心觀 # 轉化煩惱, #增長愛心和智慧 1.當朋友升職，或者獲得某個成就時，我們是否能夠由衷地為他們高興，而不是心生嫉妒？在這集正念生活禪中，我們將分享一個密招--隨喜觀，讓我們不會因為陷人嫉妒的陷阱中而生煩惱。 2.隨喜，或者說「隨喜心」，它是指我們在別人成功、快樂、成就的時候，能夠真心地為他們感到高興，並且祝福他們。這個看似簡單的情緒，其實能帶給我們無窮的內在力量。隨喜他人也是一種美德，更是修行人的一種功德。當我們能放下自己本來糾結在一起的忌妒批評的心，便成隨喜心時，心情會一下間從煩惱人轉化成喜悅心的清涼和輕鬆感，所以說，隨喜真的是轉化煩惱的魔法棒，可以把嫉妒的火焰變成清涼的心蓮。 3.經典中常提到，要我們注意防犯的五種慳吝心，如果我們能覺察到這五種心，並依照隨喜觀的四個…

1.我們常聽到的慈悲觀，其實是慈心觀+悲心觀，二者在定義上有些不同，修法也有別。慈是給與別人快樂，悲則是拔除或救濟別人的痛苦。上週節目我們分享了慈心禪，這週我們將分享悲心觀。讓大家能夠在幫助別人時多一份力量和方法。 2.悲心可以理解為對眾生苦難的深切關懷和希望幫助他們能從痛苦中解脫出來。悲心與害心相對，害心指的是一種只顧自己而忽略他人痛苦的心態。所以，在法句經中說:我們如果要讓自己或小孩減少害人的心，要特別重視培養悲心。當我們能感同身受地體驗到別人的痛苦時，我們也會更深刻感理解痛苦的經驗。而這種同理心能促進內心的平靜，也讓我們在面對苦難時不至於感到孤立無援。因此，修習悲心觀也是在一種自我療癒的過程。 3.在這集正念生活禪S3-46修練悲心觀的力量和奇蹟中，我們以生活故事分享練習悲心觀的方法，…

#改善愛發脾氣的個性，#心量越大時，煩惱就越少, #慈心禪 完整版 1.一個人的心量越大時，煩惱就越少，心也會越清淨自在。但要如何才能讓心量擴大呢? 在這集正念生活禪中，我們將與您分享慈心禪的完整修練方式。 2.慈心禪是屬於四無量心的一部分。四無量心是指的四種可以開發和培育的心的潛能的禪修方法。這四種方法是: 一是慈心觀，二是悲心觀，三是喜心觀，四是捨心觀。修這四種禪法，稱為「無量」，是因為一般人的心量都是有局限的，例如:我們會說愛記仇的人的人心眼小，或心量狹。相對地對慷慨、熱心助人者，我們會說他心量大。這些都說明做為凡夫的我們心量是有局限的。所以，我們可以透過禪修練習打開心量，培育更多更深厚的慈、悲、喜、捨這四種心。如果能修到圓滿，就可以對一切人，不論種族、膚色、階級、國藉和宗教信仰都公平…

#美食, #養生食材, #楞嚴經, #藥王、藥上菩薩, #開悟證果 1.你喜歡吃聚餐吃美食或吃養生食材嗎? 或從嚐酸、甜、苦、辣等味道，也同時提昇生命的高度和眼界呢? 這是因為美食中也有味道的智慧，除了食材、舌蕾感官外，還跟心識有關。所以，體解食物味道中的種種密碼，也可以應用到來體解生命真諦。 2.或著你是位用葯材救人的醫師，如果是可能會對楞嚴經中的藥王菩薩和藥上菩薩感興趣，因為這二位兄弟就是因為世世行醫，從嚐百味藥草的味道，了知味性，非空非有，以及味不是從空來的，也不是從有來的，而開悟證果的。 3.至於這些詞句的內容是什麼? 按下連結就可聽到S3-43 的精彩節目，也歡迎到臉書與我們交流: Iphone: https://reurl.cc/OEqVzg 安卓手機: https://reur…

#正念冥想, #禪宗公案故事, #楞嚴經, #二十五圓通, #點香靜心, #品茶香感受活在當下, #戒香、定香、慧香 1.香氣在佛教經典中，象徵一種無形的智慧，或著一個人流露出的來好的氣質。例如剛才提的戒香，就是表示一個人因為持戒好，在修身養性上下功夫，自然而然流露出一種清淨有德養的氣質，而且在待人處世中，也呈顯出一種高尚的智慧。 2. 在這集正念生活禪中，我們將分享楞嚴經中二十五圓通的香嚴童子修聞香開悟的故事。香嚴裡子是因聽到— 去無所著，來無所從—故悟得根、塵、境本自空寂而開悟的。精彩內容，請聽本集節目。 3. 我們可以從一些日常生活中，來練培養自己的慧根。比如說，專注於呼吸或是自然界的聲音，讓心靈回歸平靜。或點香或喝茶，提醒自己保感受當下的存在。 4.更多精彩內容按下連結就可以聽到，也…
