March 10:法在闹市间

In daily life it is so important to be continually checking our attitudes, views, thinking, and background ideas. There is so much fertile material that we can work with in our lives that has the potential to grow wisdom. The Buddha, when he gave us the Satipattana Sutta, intended it for lay people to use during their everyday activities. He wanted us to come alive and to practice to find enlightenment. If we can find the motivation to use it in this way, then we will see just what a special gift he has given us.

日常生活中不断检查态度、观念、想法和背景信息非常重要。生活中如此多丰厚可用的素材都有培育智慧的潜能。佛陀向我们开示《念处经》，旨在引导我们在日常生活中练习。他希望我们的练习活泼起来，进而开悟。如果我们能找到去运用此法的动力，将会发现他给予我们的是多么殊胜的礼物。

个人注解：佛法无处不在，人为的将其割裂为生活和修行是错误的。一切都是法，态度正确，所缘皆正确。
