佛陀成道日 (腊八节)

琴弓玄太松弹不起, 琴弓玄太紧会断,
不松不紧才弹得好

今天是佛陀成道日,也是腊八节,刚好读了一些短文,剪接些要点和大家分享。

话说释迦牟尼成佛之前,曾经修苦行多年,饿得骨瘦如柴,体弱无力, 但是都没结果。有一天打坐时,听到有人唱歌;让他突然顿悟“琴弓玄太松弹不起, 琴弓玄太紧会断,不松不紧才弹得好”。太子得到很大的启示,明白自己过去过着奢华放纵的生活,现在的修行又太苦太紧绑 ;应该追寻不苦不乐的中道生活。於是太子决定不再苦行。太子離開苦行林,卻因體力不支而昏厥於尼連禪河畔,被經過的牧羊女搭救,送他乳糜食用。太子吃了乳糜,恢复了体力,便端坐在佛陀伽耶一株菩提树下入定,于中国的农历十二月八日成道。

夏历以十二月为腊月,所以十二月八日称作腊八。中国汉族地区,将这一天作为释迦牟尼的成道日,于是腊八成了佛教节日。佛教传入中国后,各地兴建寺院,煮粥敬佛的活动也随之盛行起来,尤其是到了腊月初八,祭祀释迦牟尼修行成道之日,各寺院都要举行诵经,并效法佛成道前牧女献乳糜的传说故事,用香谷和果实等造粥供佛,名为腊八粥。这便是腊八粥的来历。其後此風氣漸廣傳至民間,一般人亦於此日製臘八粥,而成為我國民間風俗之一。 在佛典也有記載,舉出十種食粥之利益,即:
(一)資色,資益身軀,顏容豐盛。
(二)增力,補益衰弱,增長氣力。
(三)益壽,補養元氣,壽算增益。
(四)安樂,清淨柔軟,食則安樂。
(五)辭清,氣無凝滯,辭辯清揚。
(六)辯說,滋潤喉舌,論議無礙。
(七)消宿食,溫暖脾胃,宿食消化。
(八)除風,調和通利,風氣消除。
(九)除饑,適充口腹,饑餒頓除。
(十)消渴,喉舌霑潤,乾渴隨消。

在「佛陀成道日」這極富深意的日子,
愿与大家學習佛陀精進追求真理的精神,追寻中庸的处世之道。

明年今日我们也煮些臘八粥吧!

请别丧失希望

当云彩掩藏了太阳,
生活幽暗无光,
行善却仅引来批评,
请别丧失希望。

当责任负担增重,
幼年编织的梦想,
被压迫,遥不可及,
请别丧失希望。

当没人了解您,
艰苦难忍,
厄运重重,
寂寞吞噬您,
请别丧失希望。

当膜拜,虔诚, 持斋, 守戒,,
供丰神明的爱,
仍然没回应
请别丧失希望。

在今生或者前世所作的善行,
所有艰辛奋斗的亲神之道,
从未徒然
因此,
请别丧失希望。
