《A heart of gold》
今年1月， 我去了泰國的靜觀十多天。
老師說了一個故事，我都好想在這裏跟大家分享：
從前，泰國的首都曾經是大城（Ayutthaya）。有一日，他們面臨其他國家的入侵。然而，他們擁有一尊由純金製成的大佛像，太重了無法移動。他們決定用泥土和黏土覆蓋佛像，避免佛像被其他國家摧毁。幾個世紀後，人們隨着時間的流逝，遺忘了這尊泥土佛像是由金製成的。漸漸地，因為雨水和風化，佛像表面的泥土慢慢侵蝕，一小部份閃閃的金光重新展露出來。人們才重新發現這尊佛像是由純金製成的。
這座佛像就像我們每個人的心中都擁有無條件的愛和善良的種子一樣。由於過去的經驗，這些閃耀的部分被渴望、恐懼和自我懷疑的泥土所遮蔽。現在是時候重新發現我們內在的閃耀和光芒，並記得我們的真正本性，帶着慈悲的心對待每一個生命。
Once upon a time, Ayutthaya was the capital of the Siamese. One day, they were facing an invasion from other countries. However, they had a big statue of Buddha which was made up of pure gold and too heavy to move them. They decided to cover her with mud and clay to escape from the destruction. As the days went by, people forgot that the clay buddha is made up of gold for centuries. Until some parts of gold are exposed due to erosion and heavy rains, people rediscover the Buddha is made from pure gold.
It is just like we all have the seeds of unconditional love and kindness within our hearts. These shining parts are hidden from desires, fear, and self-doubts due to the experience in the past. It is high time for us to rediscover the shiny and bright gold in our hearts as well as to remember the true nature of ourselves to be compassionate to every being.
