【玳瑚師父出差錄】 天下本无事,庸人自扰之 Much ado about nothing
在聆聽一位女客人時，她說著說著就哭了。 我問她怎麽了，她說，“壓力。”，然後娓娓道出她壓力的各來源。
十多年來，這並非第一次有女客人在我面前落淚。 男兒有淚不輕彈，曾有一位男客人因爲婚姻問題，與我用餐時突然流淚。
其實天底下是沒有煩惱的，有煩惱也是衆生咎由自取，自做自受。
對於人生，不要什麽都要求最好的。如果你要學人家穿最流行的衣服、住最好的公寓、要賺很多錢、要重慾，你就是在為自己種了一個苦因，將來就得受這個苦果。
沒有這麽大的頭，不要戴這麽大的帽子。
人生的旅途中，要上坡下坡過橋，崎嶇的道路肯定有。
多去踏青，多看天空，學習天空的廣大，學習大地的包容。 久而久之，心量會變大，如大自然一樣遼闊，無爲而為。
“活著一天，感恩一天。
活著一天，修行一天。
活著一天，快樂一天。” 每一天都是美好的一天!
可能您讀到這裡會覺得不用我說，您也懂。沒錯，這些三歲小孩都懂，但八十嵗老翁卻做不到。

While listening attentively to a female client, she started crying as she spoke. I asked her what happened. She mumbled, "Stress." and told me about the various sources of stress in her life.
This is not the first time a female client cried in front of me, in my past ten years plus of consultation. Real men might not cry easily. A male client once cried halfway through our dinner because of marital problems.
Truth is, there is no affliction in this world. If there is, it is only because sentient beings ask for it and naturally have to bear the ill consequences of their own doings.
When it comes to life, don't keep wanting to have the best in everything. If you are going to be like most people, wanting to wear the most fashionable clothes, stay in the most upmarket condominium, earn lots of money and indulge in your desires, you are sowing a seed of suffering in your destiny and will have to experience its unpleasant fruit in the future.
To put it short, if you don't have a big head, don't wear such a large hat.
In the course of life, there is bound to be up slopes, down slopes and bridges to cross. The road is not going to be straight for sure.
Go spend more time with Nature, take time out to look at the sky and learn how expansive the sky is and how tolerant Mother Earth is. Over time, you are bound to have a broader mind that can stretch as vast as the nature.
“For every day we are alive, be grateful.
For every day we are alive, cultivate.
For every day we are alive, be happy.”
For everyday is a good day!
Perhaps after reading all this, you might think that all these are common sense and you know even without me saying it. Yes, you are right, even a three-year old kid knows but yet an eighty-year old man is still unable to do it.
