Colour Palette調色板 ?

不知不覺的，吾已從一個「沒有idea的小伙子」，變成「充滿ideas的大傢伙」。這整個過程，都歷經了憧憬，徬徨、迷惘、挫折等等，漸漸「穩定」下來之後，才得以成爲眾人欲尋得的「標準」善知識，專爲人排憂解難，指點迷津的「大傢伙」。哈！哈！哈！這也是一個凡夫俗子，到覺行圓滿的佛，的必經之路。也是從苦惱，走到極樂的必經之路，實無一人可倖免。所以吾才常告誡諸眾生，修行得趁早。

人生不如意，是十之八九的。因我們在多世的輪迴中，有數不清的「糾結」，而這些過去世的「糾結」，是我們自做後，自受的一種循環，半點都怪不得他人的。妳你若明白這點，妳你既有了「認命」的開始，未來的善知識，必現於妳你生命中，傳授妳你們解開「糾結」的法門，還妳你「本來面目」。「本來面目」是什麼？「本來面目」絕對不是非人（鬼）。（一笑）而是妳你清淨無染的佛性。明白嗎？懂嗎？若還是不明白、不懂，請繼續參研下去，記住這句話：失敗乃成功之母。

倘若妳你們自認自己爲「笨笨公司」的職員，都不打緊，因佛法有「八萬四千種法門」，來對治吾等眾生「八萬四千種煩惱」。提到「八萬四千種法門」與對治，對一般人而言，簡直就是丈八金剛摸不著頭腦。但，若吾以我們在作畫前，準備顏料的調色板，來解釋「八萬四千種法門」與對治，相信大家會較容易心領神會。佛所言極是，凡夫俗子的煩惱，修行人的修行，都是在一個調字。可別說妳你會調哦！因爲，如果妳你真懂得調的話，妳你就不會這麼的「七情上臉」。所以「調」這一字，實不簡單且大有學問啊！

其實人的開始本是空，百年歸去亦是空。那百年人生的過程，又怎麼說？這麼多的見聞覺知，如：精神上的打壓，身心的創傷等等，怎麼可能是空呢？吾，玳瑚師父，實實在在的告訴妳你，那也是空。難道妳你沒聽說過：人生如夢，夢如人生，這句話嗎？無論我們在夢裡的夢境，如何的好，如何的壞 ，夢醒後自知，那祇是夢一場，一場夢，始終歸爲空。妳你若要妳你百年人生美麗快樂，妳你就要永遠記得，作畫時的調色板，積極用心的調出絢麗的人生佳畫。

Unknowingly over the years, I have transformed, from a clueless young man to an accomplished master full of ideas. This entire journey took me through the depths of hope, anxiety, hopelessness, defeat, etc, before I finally emerged as a virtuous master sought after by many to solve their woes and sufferings and point them in the right direction. Ha ha ha!

This is also the necessary path taken by a mortal being enroute to attaining Enlightenment. This is also the only path that delivers you from sufferings to eternal bliss, with no exception for anybody. This is why I always advise sentient beings to commence their spiritual cultivation early.

Life throws at us unpleasant situations more often than not. That is because in our many past rebirths, we accumulated countless “entanglements”, and as a result, we suffer the consequences of our past actions. You cannot really blame anyone else for this. Should you understand this concept, you shall begin to gain acceptance of your own destiny.

In the future, virtuous masters will come into your life to impart you the wisdom to clear these “struggles” and reveal your true nature. What is your true nature? Definitely not a non-human (ghost)! (Laughs) It is your pure and untainted Buddha Nature. Do you understand? If you don’t, please don’t stop analysing it. Remember this, failure is the Mother of all success.

If you feel that your intellect is low, do not worry. There are eighty four thousand different forms of Dharma practices to address the eighty four thousand different kinds of sufferings of the sentient beings.

But let me illustrate the above concept, with the one tool an artist uses to prepare before he starts a piece of art: the colour palette. I am sure everyone of you will find it easier to gain a tacit understanding. The Buddha said it spot on, the sufferings of an ordinary mortal and the cultivation of a spiritual practitioner hang on one word: Blend.

Please don’t say you know it, for if you really understood, your face will not speak of sorrow and despair. Therefore, it is a major knowledge how to apply this word “Blend” into our daily life.

The truth is, a person begins his life with nothing, and shall leave this world with nothing too in a hundred years’ time. But what about this 100-year journey of life? Having experienced so much sights, sounds, emotions and knowing, such as the mental afflictions, emotional pain and physical suffering etc, how can it be emptiness?

Master Dai Hu honestly tells you that it all comes to nothing at the end. Haven’t you heard of the phrase “Life is like a dream”? Regardless of our dream state, be it a bad or good dream, it will burst like a bubble when we awake. A dream that culminates to nothing in the end. If you wish to paint a beautiful and joyful journey of life, please always remember to diligently use your heart and concoct a color palette, that blends in magnificent colours for your life masterpiece.
