一貫道安東道場全球資訊網

「寒風細雨冷刺骨，隱見梅花盛開展，問梅為何此時綻，原來冰考心志堅。」在全球暖化的議題逐漸發酵之際，今年的冬季卻因所謂「北極震盪」效應，而感覺到特別的寒冷，北半球許多地方都覆蓋在百年大雪之中，南半球卻有許多地方遭受熱浪的侵襲；感受到大自然變幻莫測的力量，彷彿正敲醒著無知又慾念叢生的我們，淨化內在與提昇心靈的清靜，才能與天地萬物融合，堅定修道志向，創造新世紀的人生。

  正當全球各地都在迎接希望的二０一０年時，在地球的另一端，西半球最貧窮的國家海地，遭逢二百年來最大的地震強襲，估算將有十萬人以上罹難；期盼大家一起祝禱懇求　上天慈憫，慰撫逝去的性靈，為萬物祈福，災劫速速遠離。

Series of Resting and Setting Free

The Life of Returning to Nil (Three)

綜觀我們，平常都都把念動在義氣用事上，氣一動火就來，而不能耐心的去撫平，就是不會放，也不會收，一動火就起來，然後就一發不可收拾，而圖增了許多憾事；因此不管兒女也好，夫妻也好，事業也好，都要學著這個放下與歇下，用這個心來處理事才叫做和。所以「中也者，天下之大本也，和也者，天下之達道也。」通達的路，我們心裡頭有和氣，有和平，做什麼事都跟誰是通達的；如果心裡頭一直責備，一直責備的話，就會造成一種反彈，跟打壓，都不是好的現象。

Take ourselves for an example. We get used to placing our mind on chi. Whenever there is chi、we fail to calm ourselves down. We are unable to control ourselves at that point、which causes something unfortunate. So we have to learn how to let things go and rest to deal with our children、our lover、and our business. With letting go and resting、things will go harmoniously. When we are in the state of harmony、whatever we do and whomever we are with will become harmony、too. As Doctrine of the Mean states、「The universe has its orbit to follow and people have their true natures to follow. When the universe follows its orbit and when people follow their true natures、the world will become harmonious.」 Since we are in the state of harmony、we are able to get along with everybody. On the contrary、if we blame others all the time、it will absolutely result in bad conditions.
