悟，如花開
佛光星雲 ( 1927~ )

能靜心的人，心靈裡自有花園，春夏秋冬四時，
皆是花季，無需到處尋找美的感覺、春天的消息。

能思惟的人，自能見及真正的價值，不為表相迷
惑，也不會在人生裡製造隨業流轉的垃圾。

若能時時在感覺、靜心、思惟裡鍛鍊，養成觀照
生命的態度，那麼在車流人潮中也能有悟的一刻。
那悟的一刻，像是杜鵑突然開出花朵，像是楓樹吐
露新芽，像是山坡上的鳳仙花，「啵」的一聲，又
再撒了滿山的種子。

Enlightenment Is Like a Flower in Bloom
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Zhi Yue and Calvin Ka-fat Lau

Those who always feel at peace and at ease can be
said to have a garden in their hearts that is in bloom
all year round. They do not need to search for beauty
or spring.

By stopping to reflect, we see the true value of
things and are not confused by their appearances. As a
result, we do not trap ourselves in a toxic lifestyle.

This reflective attitude is fostered by becoming
more aware, calm, and considerate. In this way, we
can have moments of enlightenment even if we are in
a sea of people.

The very moment of being enlightened is like a
rhododendron that blossoms suddenly, a maple that
sprouts, or the seeds of touch-me-nots being sown all
over the hillside.
