藏曆6月4日 Chokhor Duchen 佛陀初轉法輪吉祥日

     

                   釋迦牟尼佛在菩提樹下現前圓滿正等覺時說：

              “深寂離戲光明無為法，吾已獲得甘露之妙法，

                縱於誰說他亦不了知，故當默然安住於林間。”

說完在七七四十九日內沒有講法。這即是佛最初不轉法輪的原因。

這殊勝的日子因釋迦牟尼佛弘法利生的巨大功德力、諸佛菩薩及護法隨喜讚嘆的加持力、整體善業和正能量的匯聚， 令行善的眾生得以得到億倍增長的功德。

                                  伏藏師秋吉林巴(1829-1870)"檢視自己的心"

"To see if you're aware of impermanence or not

Check whether your plans are long or short term.

To see if you perceive samsara as flawed or not

Check how strong your attachments are.

To see if you'll attain liberation in the future or not

Check whether your conduct is good or bad.

想看看自己是否未來能證得解脫，檢視你的行止是善是惡，便可知道。

To see if you've given rise to loving kindness and compassion or not

Check how you take care of those in need.

想看看自己是否已生起慈與悲，檢視你如何照顧有需求者，便可知道。

To see if you've tamed the demon of anger or not

Check how much hatred you have towards your enemies.

To see if you've dispelled the obscuring demon of ignorance or not

Check how much you cling in hope and fear.

You'll know your Dharma practice has become the path or not

By thoroughly examining your own mind."

徹底檢視自己的心，便可知道，你的佛法修持是否已然為道。
