《美語曼陀羅English Madala──看蓮生活佛文集學英文》
緣份──Affinity

文/英文老師貝兒(Belle)特稿

在蓮生活佛盧勝彥大師文集「月光流域」,書中文章「遊戲」還描寫:

「適應環境是什麼?我覺得好像是『遊戲』,是一種玩耍,隨著緣份而走,隨著緣份去覺悟,那就是『緣覺』了。緣覺是應該沉默的時候,我就沉默了;緣覺應該退隱的時候,我就退隱了;緣覺應該如何穿衣的時候,我就如何穿衣了。我不再猶疑,我有決心,應該怎麼做,就怎麼做,只要得到正覺,不理會他人的目光。」

「What is adapting to environment? It is as if it was a game, a play. I have to let the nature take its course and gain realization as the affinity changes around me. Such is called Realization by Affinity. When the affinity is for silence, I will remain silent. When the affinity is for retreat, I must go and live a reclusive life. When affinity teaches one the proper way of clothing then I should learn how. There is no hesitation. I am quite sure that I should do what I have to. As long as I have the correct realization, I should not mind how other people see me. 」(Translated by Padmakumara Translation Team)
