送给心花儿 这几天我给佛像献花。一天后，它们如我所料地枯萎了，我每天都兴高采烈地盼着它消失的样子。这是因为我经常听到无常和苦的说法。所以我特别期待。 这些鲜花放在我已故禅师苏南达尊者的照片前。所以，这也让我想起了他的无常。 我还放入了三朵假花，与活的真花形成鲜明对比。 当我坐在我私人的佛房里静坐时，我每天都会思惟花的无常和苦。我试图看看它会给我带来什么样的新启示。 昨天，新花抵达供养所有佛像。于是，我也拿了一些，放在同一个花盆前。所以新花就坐在老花旁边。 我的眼睛立刻就被这些新的花朵所吸引，我的心因它们成为新的沉思对象而感到高兴。经过几秒钟的思考，我的新启示是： 由于佛法知识太多，我没能把老花当作花来欣赏，只是等待它凋零，状态被抛弃。这是拥有额外的知识，使堵塞能够欣赏生活的状态，而不是消失的状态。 那么，现在我该怎么办？尽管有时会出现懒惰和无聊的心，但我只是继续禅修和念诵，并与一切众生和往生者分享功德。 以花儿来供佛， 让花儿无论新旧， 让花就只是花吧， 成为虔诚心的新或旧对象！ 愿大家也将花供佛，享受花的清新。 新年快乐！万事如意！ Flowers for My Mind During these few days, I offered flowers to the Buddha statues.

The flowers were placed in front of the photo of my late teacher, Sayadaw Dr. Sunanda. So, it also reminds me of his impermanence. I also put in the three fake flowers to have a sharp contrast wi...
