【玳瑚師父隨筆錄】 《我們都曾年輕》
We Were Young Once (English version below)
實在不敢想像，今年已將快要過去了，吾也將再增一歲了，好恐怖喲！開玩笑拉！年齡的增長，是誰也無法阻止的，最重要是活一天，感恩一天，活一天，修行一天，活一天，快樂一天。而我們也應該在有限的生命裡積極啟發智慧，讓有限的生命裡湧現韶光。若是如此，增一歲或增十歲，又有何惆悵可言。
男歡女愛，是要兩情相悅的，更情投意合的。雖說這兩點缺一不可，可是專一的理念更勝一籌。而專一的愛情，在這滾滾紅塵中，又有幾人？要知道這滾滾紅塵乃業緣所成，越是執著越會被「紅塵埋沒」。這絕對沒有和專一沖突，專一也不單指在感情而已，修行更要專一，甚至做任何事都得要專一啊！
人生裡不是祇有愛情而已，若是祇有愛情的人生，那是沒有智慧及膚淺的。也是「自取滅亡」的。人生的整塊來看，妳你必然驚覺愛情原來是那麼的一小塊。那如果妳你夠專注，或眼尖，妳你會發現，修行排在第一位。那是因為夫妻本是五百年前，或多世前的冤家。就因如此，世間很少有不吵架的夫妻啊！修行排在第一位，是告訴全，唯有修行才能夠將怨偶變成佳偶。
吾是修行人兼玄學家，怨偶真的看得有夠多，但願妳你有這因緣福份，觀讀到這文章，冤家宜不宜結，祥和之氣從家庭到社會，人人幸福而美滿。新年快樂。

I can not believe that the year is over, and that I would be soon adding another year to my age. How terrifying! Ha ha, just joking! Aging is something that none of us can stop. More importantly, we must live each day in gratitude, in spiritual awareness and cultivation, and in happiness. In addition, we ought to be diligent in expanding our wisdom and consciousness in our limited life span, and to bring forth the Light in us. If we can achieve this, aging by one or ten years will not be such a depressing thought after all.
Romance between a man and a woman must be mutually pleasing and congenial. Both factors are essential, however, the notion of faithfulness is even more significant. In this current time, how many are really capable of being faithful in a relationship? You must understand that this realm we are in is entirely manifested from our karma. The more fixated we are on the notion of self, the more deeply we will be entangled in this realm. Faithfulness does not just apply to relationships alone. We need faithfulness in our spiritual cultivation and, in fact, in any thing that we do!
Life is not only about romance. If you are only concerned with your love life, that will be ignorant and superficial. That is akin to self-destruction too. The entirety of life consist of spiritual cultivation, family ties, friendships, romance, education, contribution to society, etc. You can see that romance really only occupy a small portion of the entire spectrum, in terms of making your life a meaningful and significant one. If you are sharp and eagle-eyed, you would have notice that I place spiritual cultivation as the first and foremost. What I am trying to tell you is that a husband and wife used to be foes with each other 500 years ago, or many lifetimes ago. Because of this, there is rarely a couple in this world who does not fight! Only with spiritual cultivation you would be able to resolve the enmity between you and your partner, and evolve the relationship to a positive one.
I am a spiritual practitioner as well as a meta-physicist, and have seen my fair shares of couples going for each other throats! I wish you would have the affinity and fortune to read this article and understand that it is better to resolve enmity than to make new ones. May the spirit of peace fill every family and home, and may everybody be happy and blissful. Wishing all my beloved readers a Happy New Year.
