禅院草们将这样生活

   This is the life of Chanyuan Celestial

   雪峰

   Xue Feng

   首先，要靠禅院理念生活，任何个人之间的情感是靠不住的。雪峰靠不住，佛山太极乾坤蓬莱南极等也靠不住，任何一位禅院草也靠不住，靠得住的只有禅院理念。

   First of all, we can only rely on Lifechanyuan Values; personal relationship is undependable, even Xue Feng and anyone of Chanyuan celestials are undependable.

   禅院草们只有按照生命禅院理念生活在一起，才能保证快乐和幸福。如果把希望寄托在某个人身上，必然会导致伤心绝望。

   Only through Lifechanyuan Value can it be possible for Chanyuan Celestials to live a happy life. Any intension to rely on somebody would lead to final desperation.

   所以，"依法不依人，"依生命禅院理念，不依雪峰。如此，不论将来雪峰会如何，只要生命禅院理念在，就能保证我们通达目的地。

   So, "everyone's behaviors must be based on laws and disregard of people"; must be based on Lifechanyuan Value not on Xue Feng. We can reach our destination as long as Lifechanyuan Value exists, no mater what happens to Xue Feng.

   因此，我们首先要跟那些与生命禅院理念同频共振的人在一起。即使只有三四个人，只要心灵上同频共振，都遵守禅院理念，就能在一起幸福地生活。一旦无视禅院理念，麻烦会即刻产生。个人之间的山盟海誓难以保证天长地久，甚至会在瞬间翻脸翻船。

   So, we must live with people who can resonate with the Lifechanyuan Value; even if there are only three or four people who have mutual resonance in mind, they can live a happy life if they obey Lifechanyuan Value. Any ignorance of Lifechanyuan Value would incur troubles immediately. Personal promise is not something everlasting, they may turn hostile suddenly.

   在如何生活的问题上禅院理念是如何说的呢？

   Then, how to illustrate Lifechanyuan Value on the topic of living style?

   一、永远不与政府作对，不参与任何旨在反抗政府的活动；永远不与任何领域炙手可热的人物作对；永远不与上司老板作对。不热血沸腾，不逞英雄，永远记住我们是卑微的草，我们是最软弱的人，我们是最无用的人。

   1. Never fight against the government; never participate in any activity disobedient to the government; never fight against any powerful people in any field; never fight against the boss of the company; be reserved, not display gallantry in front of people; remember that we are the humblest celestials, we are the weakest men and we are the most useless people in the world.

   二、学古贤大德，法古今完人，不论时逢乱世，还是遭遇悲惨处境，永远不投机取巧，不混水摸鱼，要光明磊落，诚实厚道，即使面临饿死的边缘，也不去偷、去抢、去骗、去盗、去诈、去坑，地上见了财宝，只要不属于自己，绝对不捡，只有我们"道不拾遗，"他人才能"夜不闭户。""贪了牲禽的滋益，必受性分的损；占了人事的便宜，必受天道的亏，"心术要正，做事不愧天愧地愧他人，宁可被人冤死，也不遣恨于人，这样做，不是为了留什么好名声，而是为了自己内心宁静，养浩然之气。记住："欲无祸于昭昭，勿得罪于冥冥。""心地要光明，念头不能暧昧。"

   2. Learn from the saints with virtue; follow the examples of the perfect men in history. Never play tricks or fish in trouble water but be frank, forthright, honest and sincere; never steal, rob, deceive, cheat, or defraud others even if at the edge of starving to death; never pick up the money on the ground which do not belong to you. It is only that "people do not take any articles left by the wayside" will it be possible for "doors are not bolted at night". "Coveting the nourishing from domestic animal will make nature lose, profiting at other people's expense will not get sufficient treatment from Tao." Your intentions should not offend heaven，earth and others. No hatred should exist in heart even you died of being wronged. The reason for such doing is for acquiring a peaceful mind and the natural greatness of the soul rather than for a good reputation. Be sure to keep in mind that: "Do not commit sins if you do not want to be punished" Have a clear consciousness, do not go astray.

   三、了尘缘，结仙缘，日日勤劳做事，日日忏悔祈祷，不要荒废光阴在吃喝玩乐上，不要炫耀自己，最好让人们忘却自己的存在，早日了却尘世的债务，尽量不再结下尘缘，却要努力与仙人结缘，此次在人间旅行，我们的目的只有一个，斩断与人间的一切联系，奔赴仙岛群岛洲去享受永恒的自己。

   3. Gradually reducing secular contacts, and getting touch with celestial beings. Be diligent in works, be penitent everyday. Not wasting time in beer and skittles, not showing off yourself. It is better to make people forget your existence. Try to be early in clearing of the secular debts and not to have new secular relationship but strive for getting to know more celestial beings. The journey in this world for us is to cut out any connection in the mortal world and make forward for the celestial archipelago for our forever enjoyment.

   四、要把生命禅院想象成千年界，就好像在这个世界上只有禅院草，再没有其他的人似的，只有禅院草与自己有关，其他的与自己无关，禅院草之间不娶不嫁，不互相占有，禅院草之间，只要两厢情愿，可以随意过性生活，因为千年界就是这样的。但要记住，一切的发生应该是自然的，是真情的流露，不是蓄谋的，"玩物丧志，玩人丧德。"

   4. Conceive Lifechanyuan as the thousand-year world; as if nobody existing in the world except Chanyuan celestials and nothing is our business except chanyuan celestials. There is no marriage and no mutual possession for Chanyuan celestials; they may have sex freely because it is the real situation in the thousand-year world, but remember that all behavior should be natural and be based on real emotion instead of any plot. Keep in mind that "Indulging in a hobby saps one's will; indulging in a tricky saps one's morality".

   五、努力建设第二家园，生命的所有希望寄托在上帝和自己的修行修炼上，把人生的所有希望都寄托在第二家园上，让第二家园成为自己生存的保障，成为解决自己生老病死问题的唯一地方，被社会和世俗家庭抛弃了，就来第二家园；走投无路了，就来第二家园；生病了，就来第二家园；破产了、遭灾了、老了、寂寞孤独了，就来第二家园；想过自由美妙的生活，就来第二家园，一句话，想，就。前提是，我们要情愿为自己的兄弟姐妹亲人情人付出一切，包括自己的生命。甘愿让禅院草分享自己的一切，起码，我们不能让任何一位禅院草饿肚子。当任何一位禅院草处在困境中时，我们必须全力以赴，不惜一切代价去解救。还必须思考一个问题，当你想享受这一切的时候，先问问自己，"我为建设生命禅院和第二家园付出了什么？奉献了什么？"要心里明白清楚，禅院的傻小子傻妞们其实一点也不傻。禅院草们的诚实厚道是来不得半点虚情假意玷污的。

   5. Strive for the construction of Home without Marriage and Family and rest all our hopes on the Greatest Creator, self-improvement and self-refinement. Home without Marriage and Family would guarantee our survival and solution of our personal problems such as birth, death, illness and old age. Come to Home without Marriage and Family if being abandoned by society and secular family, being in desperation or disease, getting bankrupt, being hit by a disaster, being old, lonely; come to Home without Marriage and Family for the enjoyment of beautiful and free life. In short, if you want, you come. But there is a precondition here, you must be willing to give anything you have for the benefit of our brothers and sisters and lovers here, event at the cost of our own life. You must be willing to share what you have, at least you will not permit a single Chanyuan celestial staying hungry. You must be willing to go all out for saving any Chanyuan celestial from his/her troubles. And, there is still one more question for our consideration which is, anytime you are enjoying all of these, we should ask ourselves first: "What have I done for the construction of Lifechanyuan and Home without Marriage and Family? What have I devoted?" We must be very clear that the boys and girls of Lifechanyuan are not stupid at all-no insincere action or manner whatsoever is permit to return their honesty and kindness.

   六、走上帝的道，不与任何人拉帮结派，不订立攻守同盟，要敢于把自己的一切暴露在光天化日之下，堂堂正正，光明磊落，要时刻意识到，任何人都有可能会翻脸，我们的一切随时会被人用来作为要挟的筹码，所以，即使两个人之间的事，比如书信往来，也要经得起光天化日的考验，在家园里，一定要以共同的理念为准，不要以人为准，否则，当这个人滑向罪犯的时候，就把自己也牵扯了进去，那叫"一失足成千古恨，我们一旦拉帮结派了，"事到临头不由己"了，你就会成为他人错误或罪孽的陪葬品。"为人不做亏心事，半夜敲门心不惊。"
