人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。 — 蘇軾
People experience joy and sorrow, parting and reunion;
The moon waxes and wanes, now bright, now dim.
Such imperfection has persisted since ancient times.
— Su Shi (Poet, Song Dynasty)
本月主題為十二因緣中的生、老死 二支，請大家認真思惟、覺察生與死的根源，生命無常是否有其正面的意義？
This month’s theme focuses on links 11 & 12 of the twelve links of interdependence, “birth” and “aging and death”. Shifu encourages everyone to think about the nature of birth and death. Does the impermanence of life have a positive side?

法語一滴 A Taste of Dharma

譬如群宿鳥，夜聚旦隨飛，死去別親知，乖離亦如是。
有生皆必死，造罪苦切身，當勤策三業，恒修於福智。
— 《佛說無常經》
Like birds gathering at night
Fly their separate ways at dawn,
We are callously parted from
Relatives and friends by death.

All that live must die;
Commit sins the body suffers.
Be diligent in examining the three karmas;
Always cultivate merits and wisdom.
– Sutra on Impermanence
佛問沙門：「人命在幾間？」… 對曰：「呼吸間。」
--《佛說四十二章經》

The Buddha asked “How long can one be sure of staying alive?” … The replay was “a single breath.”
-- Sutra of 42 Chapters
「若諸世界六道眾生，其心不淫，則不隨其生死相續。」
— 《楞嚴經》

"If the minds of sentient beings in the six realms of all worlds are devoid of lust, then they will not continue in the cycle of birth and death."
– Śūraṅgama Sūtra
對世間樂看得越清楚，就越容易放下。
-- 見護師

The more one understands the nature of worldly pleasure, the less one becomes attached to it.
-- Jianhu Shifu
