忍辱——世间最可贵的德行

一提到“忍辱”，很多人往往将之视为胆小怕事、懦弱无能，但其实不然。忍辱，体现着一个人最高尚的人格。

有一次，罗睺罗随舍利弗在王舍城托钵乞食。路上，一个恶汉将沙投进舍利弗的钵中，还用棍棒打破罗睺罗的头。鲜血顺着罗睺罗的脸颊流了下来，虽然显出了咬牙切齿的面容，但罗睺罗还是忍受住了。这时，舍利弗对他说：“佛陀的弟子应有忍辱精神，心中不怀嗔恨的毒，当以慈悲心怜悯众生。佛陀常教诫我们，对于荣誉，不能使心高举，对于侮辱，不能使心生恨。所以，罗睺罗，你要压制着愤恨的心，严守忍辱。这世上没有比忍辱更勇敢的事，天上人间，不管多大的力量，也不能胜过忍辱。”听完舍利弗的话，罗睺罗默默的走到水边，用手掬水洗去了头上的血迹。佛陀得知了这件事，也开示道：“不懂得忍的人，就不能得到佛法的受用。有智慧的人，能见到深远的因果，克服嗔心，多行忍辱……忍像大海中的舟航，能度一切灾难；忍是病者的良药，可救垂危的病人。我能成佛，独步三界，是因为心能安稳，知道忍辱德行的可贵。”

可见，忍辱绝非怯懦，一个能忍辱的人，是拥有大胸襟、大智慧的，无论面对何种逆境违缘，都能心平气和、安之若素。

忍辱不仅能够避免灾祸，获得平安、祥和，还是厚积薄发的增上缘。对于佛教徒来说，我们更要以忍辱度嗔心、度贪心，从而精进修行，生起智慧，解脱烦恼。

“大肚能容容天下难容之事”的布袋和尚有一首《插秧偈》，想必很多人都听过，那就让我们彼此共勉:“手把青秧插满田，低头便见水中天。六根清净方为稻，退步原来是向前。”

34 PBFor You Information 佛友资讯

Before we take a peek into the August Issue, we would like to take some time to reflect on what we have dis-covered and learnt from the most recent cave rescue mission in Tham Luang cave complex in Chiang Rai this July. From the initial report of the missing 12 soccer play-ers and their coach, to the gripping news of the flooded caves and the sad demise of Mr Saman Gunan who sacrificed his life during the rescue mission of evacua-tion and then the miraculous successful rescue, we saw how the world came together in many ways to help, to provide support and “simply” to be together – epitomis-ing the good nature and compassion we all have in our hearts. May all the survivors find strength and closure, and likewise, we hope just as in the Singapore Buddhist Federation’s Facebook condolence message: May Mr Saman Gunan attain Nirvana!

This issue, we feature Palelai Buddhist Temple’s Sima Demarcation and Ordination Hall Consecration and Opening Ceremony and would like to extend our hearti-est congratulations to this important and auspicious milestone in the Singapore Buddha Dharma history.

Following last issue’s Dharma Talk feature: “The 5 Eyes in Buddhism” and “Through the Lens of a Buddhist Film”, we hope readers can learn more about what is beyond the human eye and also gain more insights to the Surangama Sutra. In Thanissaro Bhikkhu’s translat-ed work on the Loka Sutta, we learn how we can better survey and navigate the world, in “Surveying the World”.

Lastly, may the luminosity of the Buddha Dharma con-tinue to shine and be a lamp upon all sentient beings!

ON THE COVER

Editor’s Note

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognise: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

- Thich Nhat Hanh
