傳皈有機會在海天禪寺禪修班薰修多年，師父們總是慈悲鼓勵大眾聽聞佛法、滅除煩惱、增長智慧，也囑咐我們平時嚴持淨戒、淨化身口意三業、覺察貪瞋癡，將六波羅蜜的智慧落實在日常的待人處事。

　　當我遇到不順己意的事，就是考驗自己落實佛法的好機會！不論遇到任何事，我一定先靜下心來。如果遇到不可理喻的人，我會保持平靜、沉默不爭，並主動退讓；遇到不如意的事，就向內反省檢討，思惟問題的根源，避免重蹈覆轍；當我感到失望時，我保持善念，不心灰意冷，因為相信在學佛路上人生一定會更好。當遇到生離死別時，我接受這樣的無常，就如《佛說無常經》所說：「未曾有一事，不被無常吞。」我也珍惜當下擁有的善緣，無論是面對親朋好友、員工或陌生人，都心平氣和溝通，用慈悲寬容體諒他們，與他們分享佛法智慧，若與佛法有緣則鼓勵他們學佛。我謹記教授法師的開示：「喜風不動，逢苦不憂」，以平等心待人處事，以平常心面對一切順逆境界。

　　人生短促，不論世事或修行，我們應當把握當下精進用功。若能堅住正念修習八正道，便能減少煩惱惡業；當這念心平靜下來，自然能諸事順利、道業也會有所提升，不但今生受益、也為來世累積資糧，邁向菩提之道。

　　今生能學佛是我最大的福報，身為佛弟子應當精進持守戒律，培養清淨心，以慈悲心、忍辱心待人，放下攀緣執著，接受無常，安住身心。至誠感恩所有法師的弘願與無私付出，以正知見帶領我們精進走在成佛之道。傳皈發願以精進心、長遠心實踐佛法，並將功德回向世界和平、一切眾生吉祥平安。

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.
