文/佛光星雲(1927~)

忍是一種認識宇宙人生實相的智慧,是一種接受、承擔、負責、化解、處理、解脫的力量。

忍不但是內心的智慧、是道德的勇氣、是寬容的慈悲、是見性的菩提,更是一種無上的力量。

佛教把我們居住的世界稱作「娑婆」,就是「堪忍」、「能忍」的意思。人的一生,很難事事稱心如意,為了生活,時時都要忍耐。不但要忍苦、忍難、忍窮、忍飢、忍冷、忍熱、忍氣、忍怨,也要忍富、忍樂、忍利、忍譽。「以忍處世」,是每個人必然的修練!

Patience as the Way to Conducting Oneself

Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - )

English translation: John Balcom

Patience is wisdom; it is an awareness of the universe and the human condition. It is the strength to accept, bear, take charge, transform, handle, and liberate.

Patience is also morality, courage, and compassion, as well as the nature of the Bodhi mind. Patience is supreme strength.

In Buddhism, the world we live in is referred to as the saha world, meaning a world of endurance. Not everything goes the way one wishes in life. Who does not often have to exercise patience? Not only do we need to endure suffering and hardships, poverty and hunger, hot and cold weather, as well as annoyances and complaints; we also need to be unmoved by wealth, pleasure, profit, and fame. Patience is truly something needed to be practiced by everyone!
