这才是生活禅

与人发生任何矛盾纠纷时，最应该反省的是自己，看看自己是否清醒明白，是否有不尽如人意的地方？这才是智慧、是禅的一种表现。所谓禅定，并不是整天坐在那里一动不动，若说坐着不动，乌龟的坐功比我们人要强得多，但它就是坐上几百年、几千年也不会开悟，因为它没有智慧。
Whenever there are disputes with others, we have to ask ourselves if we are clear-minded or if we have anything that is less than perfect. This is the real wisdom in Chan. What we refer to as meditative concentration is not sitting still all day long. A turtle is much more enduring than human beings in terms of sitting motionless, but even hundreds and thousands of years of sitting will not lead it to enlightenment unless it has the necessary wisdom.
打坐只是修禅定的一种方式，真正的禅定是在现实生活中，时时刻刻都能以一种智慧的觉照，很自如地把握自心。一个真正有禅定功夫的人，无论走到哪里，无论在干什么，都不会为那些五光十色、纷纷扰扰的事物所动心，他的心始终是清净的、清凉的，没有任何迷惑，不起任何烦恼。这就是生活禅，也是真正地在享受生活。
Sitting mediation is just one of the methods to cultivate concentration. The real meditative concentration is a state of being able to observe and tame our mind freely in a wise way in our daily life. The minds of those with true meditative capability will not be disturbed by external objects whatever they do in any environment. Their minds are always clean and clear without any confusion or affliction. This is how meditation can be practiced in daily life; it can be the real way to enjoy life.
