巴米揚大佛

在阿富汗中部的巴米揚地區，曾經聳立著兩座舉世聞名的世界上最高的立式佛像，由山體雕刻而成，雄偉壯觀，分別高約53米和37米，建於西元六世紀，是希臘式佛教藝術的經典作品。作為世界珍貴的歷史景觀，早在60年代，它就被列為世界文化遺產。
.
2001年3月，巴米揚大佛被炸藥和大炮炸毀了。舉世震驚！十幾年來，多個國家都試圖復原佛像，均未能如願。
.
2015年，來自中國的張昕宇和梁紅夫婦及其團隊，利用先進的建築投影技術，成功對53米高的大佛進行了光影還原。
.
巴米揚大佛、乃至所有的佛教文物，都有它寶貴的歷史文化價值，可以不信祂，但不可以破壞祂。別看它是一尊石頭山、一堆土，「其神無形，其神無相，但無所不在！」對於神佛，我們要心懷虔誠恭敬之心。佛像所代表的，是人類和平、慈悲的光明。
.
經歷千年滄桑的巴米揚，儘管是滿目瘡痍，但在許多人的心目中，那裡仍是一塊聖地。

Bamiyan Buddhas

In the central Bamiyan area of Afghanistan stood the world’s tallest Buddha sculptures, famous and magnificent. 
 They were carved directly onto the mountain and measured about 53 meters and 37 meters tall respectively. Built in the sixth century AD, they were classic works of Gandhara art (where Classical Greek culture and Buddhism merge). As part of the precious historical landscapes, in the 60s, they were listed as one of UNESCO 's world cultural heritage sites.

In March 2001, the world was shocked after the Buddha statues were destroyed by explosives and artillery. For over 10 years, many countries tried to restore the Buddha statutes but were unable to do so.

In 2015, a couple from China, Zhang Xinyu and Liang Hong, together with their team, uses advanced building projection technology succeeded in projecting the original holographic image of the 53-meter-tall Buddha.

Bamiyan Buddhas and all Buddhist cultural relics have historical and cultural value. One can choose not to believe in them, but should not destroy them. It may seem like a stone mountain or a pile of soil, but “The gods are invisible, the gods have no form, but they are omnipresent". Towards God and Buddha, we should maintain a respectful heart. Buddha is a representation of human peace and light of compassion.

After going through vicissitudes of a thousand years, despite its devastation, Bamiyan is still a holy land in the eyes of many people.

念佛能修智慧與穩定的心

【念佛能修智慧與穩定的心】
.
在修佛法之中，不光是我們為母親(親人)念佛，到底我們在修佛法之中，修到的是什麼呢？第一個就是智慧，第二個就是穩定。穩定的心就變成真心。你做人穩定應用在家庭上，就能有穩定的家庭，夫妻不能說一不高興了就離婚；應用在工作上，就有穩定的工作，你不會因為一點點的情緒變化，就提辭職。
.
如果不穩定會怎麼樣呢？工作不穩定就會帶來家庭的不穩定，家庭的動盪會導致婚姻不穩定。婚姻不穩定的人，孩子吃苦吃大了！很多父母一離婚，在很多孩子的個性之中就埋下了仇恨、扭曲，不能正常地看待人生，所以長大不敢結婚。
因此修一個穩定的心，對我們人的一生，方方面面幫助特別大。

Chanting brings wisdom and stability

The practice of the Dharma refers not merely to chant for our mothers or our loved ones. In reality, as we conscientiously practice the Dharma, we actualize real benefits. First, we gain wisdom. Second, we achieve a sense of stability, and with it, a pure heart. The benefits of such stability are twofold: at home, couples for example, become sensible and do not threaten to divorce due to disagreements; at work, employees do not rashly resign owing to challenges and emotional episodes at the work place.

If the converse is true, what are the implications? Where there’s instability at work, family life invariably deteriorates. This would then have adverse implications on marriage stability. As a consequence, the children inordinately suffer. In extreme circumstances when the parent’s marriage break down irretrievably, the offspring could bear the hatred and develop a biased view of the world. They may no longer view life positively and wholesomely, and many choose not to marry eventually.
Therefore, it is critical that we practice towards a stable and pure heart. This will have tremendous benefits to all aspects of our life.

心性，时时刻刻把握自己心里面的这种一念之间的思维。起心动念，怎么样善用真的太重要了！  一念之间怎么样思考，同样一件事一个正一个反。人家说口下要积德行善，学一学，怎么样能够找到正能量的词去表扬一下你身边的人。

一个念头就是一个种子，我们的心就像一个花园，各种各样的种子在里面播种，想什么就会种什么，种什么就会有什么，或者杂草丛生，或者是鲜花满园。

所谓的成佛，就是向上，最后都向善，成佛不是一句空话，佛者，觉也，觉悟的人。  觉悟的意思，只要你的存在，给人带来各种各样的快乐。

修行是要在日常生活里保持觉悟的心，活在此时此刻，活得心安理得。

耕种你的心，怎么样利用心的力量传递正能量，实际上只要你用心，没有办不到的事，这个心的力量是无穷的。

提倡什么安详禅、生活禅，实际上就是在日常生活和工作中保持静中观察，慢慢就有了定力。
