从生命禅院的现状看什么叫修道

   The Practicing of Dao from the Perspective of Lifechanyuan's Current Status

   宇宙由三要素组成--能量、意识、结构。

   The universe is consists of three key elements: Energy, Consciousness and Structure.

   上帝之道的本质是--性、爱、道。

   The essence of the Tao of the Greatest Creator's is Nature, Love and Tao.

   人生的意义是--离苦得乐，求道成仙。

   The meaning of life is to get rid of suffering and to gain happiness, to seek Tao and to become an immortal.

   成仙的秘诀是--开心、开心、再开心；快乐、快乐、再快乐。

   The secrets of becoming an immortal are: be happy, happy, happier; joyful, joyful, more joyful.

   获得开心快乐的诀窍是--"三界唯心，万法唯识，""以心转境"。

   The secrets of gaining joy and happiness are: "three worlds rely on heart, myriad principles rely on consciousness", and "changing conditions with mind".

   生命禅院的现状是，禅院草心灵一进入家园，感受到的是开心和快乐，兄弟姐妹情人之间打情骂俏，相互调侃，如入仙境，其乐融融。

   Lifechanyuan's Current Status: once the souls of the Chanyuan Celestial get into the family, they will feel happy and joyful; they will get along well with each other as if in a harmonious family; they will be very cheerful and happy as in a fairyland.

   禅院草本来都是相互陌生的，来自于加拿大、美国、英国、法国、津巴布韦、台湾和大陆十八个省份，但一旦成为禅院草，相互之间非常亲密，好似久别亲人重逢一般，说不完的深情厚意，谈不完的恩恩爱爱，尤其禅院女草之间，真是姐妹情深，相互爱恋赞誉，没有丝毫红尘中相互忌妒的气息，禅院男草之间更是打打闹闹，互相鼓励赞美，情同手足。

   Chanyuan Celestials comes from Canada, America, England, France, Zimbabwe, Taiwan and eighteen provinces in mainland. Originally, they are not familiar with each other, but once they grow into Chanyuan Celestials, they are very close to each other. Like the reunion of the family members, there are endless friendship and love among the Celestials. Especially among the female Celestials, there aren't any atmospheres of envy; they love each other and praise each other. There are also brotherly love among male Celestials, they play with each other, encourage and praise each other.

   这不就是修道的真实内涵吗？这不正彰显了大家修行修炼所结的果实吗？

   Isn't this the true meaning of self-refinement for Tao? And doesn't this reveal the result of the self-refinement and self-improvement?

   试问天底下还有哪里有如生命禅院的氛围？有吗？

   Can you find any places in the universe with the atmospheres like Lifechanyuan? Can you?

   是的，或许有，但有本质的不同。生命禅院没有清规戒律，没有责任义务，没有行政领导，这里的草草们的言行都是发自内心，是如来本性的流露，而不是假装和虚伪。

   Yes, maybe. But they are essentially different. There aren't taboos and commandments, responsibilities and obligations and administration leaders in Lifechanyuan; what Chanyuan Celestials speaks and acts comes from their heart, and is the outpouring of nature of Origin rather than affectation and hypocrisy.

   理论是为实践服务的，再好的理论，如果不能用来指导实践活动，那都是口头禅。

   Theory should serve the practice. Any good theory will be empty talk if it can't be used to guide the practice.

   再好的修行修炼法门，如果不能让人生旅行如意顺心，不能使人开心快乐，那都是虚妄。

   No matter how good the methods of self-refinement and self-improvement are, if they can't make human be satisfactory and happy, they will be fabrication.

   人们说得好，科学理论需要通过严密的论证，佛法需要实证，也就是说，我们修行修炼的结果如何要有实践验证，修了几年，理论书籍读了不少，文章写了不少，话说了一箩筐，如果依然感觉不到开心快乐，那么，就是没有入道，就是在瞎修瞎炼。反之，不管我们是否读过修道理论书籍，不管我们是否打坐参禅，不管我们是否认识耶稣、佛陀、老子等等，等等，只要我们始终是开心快乐的，那么，我们恰恰就是成功的修行修炼者。

   Scientific theory needs rigorous demonstrations, Buddha dharma needs evidences. That is to say, the results of our self-refinement need to be tested. After years of self-refinement, reading books on theory, writing many articles and talking, if we still can't feel happy and joyful, that is to say we do not achieve Tao and we are making blind self-refinement and self-improvement. In contrast, whether we have read books about self-refinement theory or not, whether we have took Zen meditation classes or not, weather we have earned Jesus, Buddha, LaoTzu and other celestial beings or not, as long as we are always happy and joyful, we will be successful self-improver and self-refiner.

   生命禅院是个开心快乐的家园，这里的许多草，理论上没有建树，甚至看不懂许多修道文章，但他们的所作所为恰恰符合耶稣、佛陀、老子和历代贤哲的教诲，他们心灵纯美，善解人意，无私无贪欲，却奉献着自己，这不恰好说明他们才是真正的修行修炼者吗？

   Lifechanyuan is a great family with happiness and joyfulness. Many Chanyuan Celestials can't make contribution to Lifechanyuan theory, even can't read the articles about self-refinement, but what they have done are corresponding to the instruction of Jesus, Buddha, LaoTzu and Sages in history. They are pure and understanding; they dedicate themselves without any selfness and greed; all of these can improve exactly they are the true self-refiner and true self-improver.

   鲜花在盛开着，吐露着芬芳，难道这不正是道的体现吗？

   The flower is in full bloom, is fragrant; isn't this the embodiment of Tao?

   生命禅院有祥和的气氛，大家都开心快乐着，难道这不正是修行修炼的硕果吗？

   Lifechanyuan has peaceful atmosphere, everybody is happy and joyful; isn't this the great achievements of self-refinement and self-improvement?

   有一种错误的认识，认为只要修道，必须一本正经，要严肃，要庄严，不能笑，不能打情骂俏，不能打呼噜，不能睡觉，不能这样，不能那样，我却要说，修道首先要灵活，要因地制宜因时制宜，一万个人，就用一万种法门，不易中变易，变易中不易，宗旨不变，方法千变万化。

   There is a kind of misbelief that self-refinement must be solemn, serious and dignified; and can't flirt, snore, sleep, can't do this and can't do that; however we want to say, self-refinement must be flexible, must adjust measures to local conditions and for right time. Ten thousand people have ten thousand kinds of ways; we should change the ways around the unchanging point, not to change the point when changing the ways; and the purpose can't change, but the methods can be changed greatly.

   中国的大教育家孔子发明了"寓教于乐"和"因材施教"的法门，我上教育学院时特别爱上《教育心理学》和《教学法》两门课程，更加佩服孔圣人，我在当老师的五年中对学生就使用"寓教于乐"的法门，让学生乐，与学生建立良好的师生关系，结果教学效果就是好。

   China's greatest educator Confucius invented "edutainment" and "teaching students according to their aptitude". I had special interests in Educational Psychology and Teaching Methodology when I was in educational college, and had special admiration to Confucius. I used the method of "edutainment" to my students in my five years of teaching career. If we can make students happy and construct good relationships with students, we will achieve a better teaching effect.

   在生命禅院我如法泡制，就是想给大家创造一个开心快乐的气氛，在不知不觉中，在喜笑颜开中净化心灵、开发思维、完善意识，实践证明，这法门确实有效，院外人不知情，但禅院草知道，在禅院度过一段时光后再返回世俗世界与凡俗人交流时，发现已经有了很大的差异，自己的内涵已经变化了，实际上，这就是生命的反物质结构在变化。

   The purpose of repeating edutainment is to create a happy and joyful atmosphere in Lifechanyuan, to purify one's heart, to develop one's thinking and to perfect one's consciousness in unconsciousness and pleasure. Practice proves that, this way is effective; maybe outsiders know nothing about this, but Chanyuan Celestials will find that they have great difference with laity when they get back to common world to communicate with them; they find their connotation change greatly. In fact, it is the change of nonmaterial structure of one's life.

   禅院里有许多大师，有仙苑奇葩，有元初（佛）元童（菩萨）天使，局外人误以为禅院在胡闹胡搞，也有人认为禅院在玩游戏，这就是不明白教育心理学的原理所致，实践将证明，今天的游戏就是明天的现实，今天游戏中的大师天使佛菩萨就是未来社会和时空中真正的大师天使佛菩萨。
