每週金句-No.138 凡事慎思退一步,自覺天地遠寬闊,若時憂鬱積於心,易銷形骸而致病。

凡事慎思退一步,自覺天地遠寬闊,若時憂鬱積於心,易銷形骸而致病。

 對未來有期許的我們,遇事遇人,總想爭個高低,很難願意低頭讓步。布袋和尚《插秧詩》,借著農人插秧,讓我們看到「手把青秧插滿田,低頭便見水中天;六根清淨方為道,退步原來是向前。」低頭與退步,反而是看到天地寬闊及向目標邁進的最佳方案。倘若無法放下執著,心氣鬱結不順,則終將反饋在身體上,給自己找罪受。不如放開緊握的拳頭,給自己一個機會,讓身心擁抱豁達,輕鬆快活。

  If one thinks carefully about everything and takes a step back, he will realize that there is adequate space between Heaven and Earth for his endeavors. When and if depression accumulates in one’s heart, he will deteriorate physically and become sick.
