不是普通的笨Not Your Ordinary Stupidity

笨，這個字對玳瑚師父而言，總是難以啟齒的。但最近吾開始會將這個笨字，脫口而出。吾，玳瑚師父，本是一位自修性與自省性，皆強的修行人。因此，脫口而出的話，吾都會思之、思之，確保是「言而有物」的，確保是有「加持力」的。在此祝福近日，被吾之笨字加持的人兒，已漸漸地不笨了。

要與「笨」絕緣，唯有靠它！

妙觀察智，是如來的五大佛智之一。實修佛法久了，自然會對一切的事物，進行妙觀察智，從中去應證如來偉大無礙圓滿的佛慧，以至明心，以至見性，成佛做祖去也。這個時候，笨這個字才算與我們完全緣盡，從此沾不上邊也。要不然的話，誰都甭想走出輪迴，走出痛苦。切記！

真的有人會這樣做！

人世間的笨事，其實還真不少。由此可見，吾的笨字加持，應該會用上一些時日。現在妳你就取盃飲料，安適地坐下來，讓吾為妳你娓娓道來，如數家珍。有些人擁有一份收入穩定及固定的工作，卻不安份守己，還自以為是地，邀來朋友幾人，亂炒亂投資，把自己搞得變成負資產。結婚前承諾給老婆過好日子，現在卻讓老婆陪他們一起卡債，連他們的朋友，也陷入「泡麵生活」，而這些朋友當中，好些是有妻兒的，有些家中還有患病的老人啊！

因為篇副的問題，吾也不想寫得太長，僅以這點滴人世間笨事，勸請大家不可因為好逸惡勞，而行笨事累己累人。故事中的人，有些是認識吾的，祇因一個毫不值錢的面子，讓自己和家人過「泡麵日子」及卡債。這是不折不扣的，不是普通的笨！

Stupidity is a word that, when it comes to Master Dai Hu, does not come easy to my mouth. However, recently, I seemed to use this word a lot. I am a spiritual cultivator with a strong sense of self awareness and self reflection, therefore, I am extra vigilant when it comes to spoken words. My words have to be sensible and empowering. Here, let me wish those whom I have empowered with the word “stupidity” that they will gradually becomes smarter.

This is the only way to break out of stupidity!

The Wisdom of Perfect Insight is one of the Five Great Wisdoms of the Tathagathas. Through prolonged spiritual practice of the Dharma, it is natural to observe everything with the Wisdom of Perfect Insight, and in the process, authenticate the unimpeded and complete wisdom of the Tathagathas, achieve enlightenment and see your Buddha Nature. Only at this state, we will lose all affinity with stupidity. Or else, it would be wishful thinking that one can escape Samsara and karmic sufferings. Please remember this!

There are people who will really do such a thing!

This world is definitely not lacking in stupidity, therefore, I foresee that my empowerment using the word “stupidity” shall continue for the time being. Now, you should get your drinks ready, sit comfortably, and let me slowly share with you this topic, which I am very familiar with. There are some people with regular and stable jobs but refuse to be contented with what they have. Instead, they began to outsmart themselves, got some friends together, made unwise investments and ended up with heavy debts. They promised to provide well for their wives before marriage, but dragged her along into credit card debts instead. The impoverished friends now had to live on instant noodles and some of them are married with wives, and have children and sickly elderly at home!

Due to space constraint, I shall not elaborate further and hope that this short story will remind everyone do not be lazy to take the seemingly easier route and do stupid things that implicate yourselves and others. Some of the people in this story know me, but due to the worthless pride that they held so dearly, they would rather allow themselves and their families to continue their struggles in poverty, living on instant noodles and be laden with credit card debts. With no doubt, this is no ordinary stupidity.
