堪冷的佛菩薩 Buddha in the Snow

最近好冷喔!但是再冷也沒在一直暴露在風雪中的佛菩薩冷吧!
It has been so cold recently. When you feel cold, please think about the Buddha in the snow.









在禪修中心內吹著暖氣,往外看到佛陀在冰雪中打坐,如如不動,還有什麼好抱怨的?趕快去用功吧!


I saw the Buddha meditating in the snow while I looked out the window of a meditation center where the heater was on and warm.
No complain! Go meditate!
(2006 West Virginia) 

















冰雪掩埋不了慈悲
菩薩在的地方
就有陽光
就有溫暖

Compassion would not be buried by coldness.
Wherever the Boddhisattva of compassion is,
there is sunshine and warm.

Don't forget about love, even life goes up and down and never stops.
