传皈有机会在海天禅寺禅修班薰修多年，师父们总是慈悲鼓励大众听闻佛法、灭除烦恼、增长智慧，也嘱咐我们平时严持净戒、净化身口意三业、觉察贪瞋痴，将六波罗蜜的智慧落实在日常的待人处事。

　　当我遇到不顺己意的事，就是考验自己落实佛法的好机会！不论遇到任何事，我一定先静下心来。如果遇到不可理喻的人，我会保持平静、沉默不争，并主动退让；遇到不如意的事，就向内反省检讨，思惟问题的根源，避免重蹈覆辙；当我感到失望时，我保持善念，不心灰意冷，因为相信在学佛路上人生一定会更好。当遇到生离死别时，我接受这样的无常，就如《佛说无常经》所说：“未曾有一事，不被无常吞。”我也珍惜当下拥有的善缘，无论是面对亲朋好友、员工或陌生人，都心平气和沟通，用慈悲宽容体谅他们，与他们分享佛法智慧，若与佛法有缘则鼓励他们学佛。我谨记教授法师的开示：“喜风不动，逢苦不忧”，以平等心待人处事，以平常心面对一切顺逆境界。

　　人生短促，不论世事或修行，我们应当把握当下精进用功。若能坚住正念修习八正道，便能减少烦恼恶业；当这念心平静下来，自然能诸事顺利、道业也会有所提升，不但今生受益、也为来世累积资粮，迈向菩提之道。

　　今生能学佛是我最大的福报，身为佛弟子应当精进持守戒律，培养清净心，以慈悲心、忍辱心待人，放下攀缘执着，接受无常，安住身心。至诚感恩所有法师的弘愿与无私付出，以正知见带领我们精进走在成佛之道。传皈发愿以精进心、长远心实践佛法，并将功德回向世界和平、一切众生吉祥平安。

Be Unmoved by Winds of Joy and Face Hardships without Distress

　　I have the opportunity of attending classes in Ocean Sky for many years. Our compassionate Shifus constantly encourage us to listen to Dharma talks, remove ignorance, and develop wisdom. Shifus also guide us to regularly abide by our precepts; purify our body, speech, and mind; be wary of greed, anger, and ignorance; and apply Buddhas' wisdom and Six Paramitas to interact with people and deal with matters.

　　It is inevitable to encounter unfavorable people or events in my daily life; nevertheless, these trials are great opportunities for me to cultivate and apply Buddhism! First and foremost, I should manage to calm my mind no matter what I encounter. When I meet unreasonable persons, I keep calm, stay silent, avoid debates, and voluntarily give way. In facing unfavorable situations, I reflect inward and contemplate on the cause to stop repeating the same mistakes. I deal with disappointment by maintaining good thoughts rather than getting depressed, knowing that life will be better on the road to learning Buddhism. Confronted with death of loved ones or separation from them, I calmly accept impermanence as The Sutra on Impermanence states, "Not one thing in the world can escape impermanence." I cherish all whom I have good affinity with and try my best to calmly communicate with relatives, friends, employees, or even strangers; use compassion and tolerance to understand them; and share the Buddha's wisdom with them, encouraging those who accept learning Buddhism. I do my best to be impartial when interacting with people or dealing with matters and accept all good and adverse situations with equanimity, bearing in mind Shifu's Dharma talk, "Be unmoved by winds of joy and face hardships without distress."

　　Life is short, so we should cherish it and take every opportunity to be diligent whether we are doing daily chores or cultivating. When we can practice in accordance with the Noble Eightfold Path and abide in mindfulness, we will reduce our suffering and create less bad karmas. Moreover, with a calm and peaceful mind, all things will be unhindered and our cultivation will improve. The merits gained not only benefits us this life but also helps us to accumulate sustenance for coming lives and lead us to the bodhi path.

　　Indeed, my greatest blessing this life is to be able to study the Buddha's teachings. As a Buddhist disciple, I should diligently abide by precepts; cultivate a pure mind; use compassion and tolerance in dealing with people; let go of attachments and the grasping for outside things; accept impermanence; and calm the body and mind. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all Shifus for their great vow and selfless devotion, using right thoughts and views to lead us to diligently cultivate on the path to Buddhahood. I hope not only to be diligent in cultivation but also to be persistent in it forever! I dedicate all merits towards world peace and for all sentient beings to be safe and prosperous.
