新時代先進的科技發明看似提供更好的生活，然而人們面對的問題卻日益增加，如精神疾病、不和諧的人際關係、毒品氾濫等，究竟我們該如何面對？身為佛弟子，我的方式是以自身修煉和反省檢討為基礎，時時拂拭蒙塵的心鏡，內觀本具的智慧心。　　

　　在這個物質社會，成功的定義是擁有令人稱羨的職業、名車豪宅等。這些不切實際的欲望，讓我幾乎付出了自己的快樂和健康作為代價。自認所做的一切都是為了家庭，但面對家人，我卻總是憤懣不堪，毫無耐心。貪瞋癡等煩惱讓我總覺得不如別人，始終無法滿足。

　　情況的轉折點是在二○一四年，我去馬來西亞照顧病重的父親。在短時間內，父親皈依佛教，並向當地法師學習佛法；他修習戒律、布施及數息觀。最終放下癌症帶來的病痛，安詳離世，過世八小時後，身體依然柔軟。

　　開始上禪修課後，我學習看清苦和愚癡的本質，明白必須為自己的行為負責，我和母親的關係也就此改善。如果現在要為富裕和快樂的家庭打分數，我可以輕鬆地說：歡聲笑語──滿分，知足感恩──滿分，平和清凈的心──滿分。同時，我仍擁有自己的事業、收入、同參道友以及最重要的師父。

　　佛陀是天下最好的醫生，他的教法讓我在生理和心理上幫助我的病人。當我以一顆平等、無分別的心去對待不同性別、經濟背景的病人，工作起來更加得心應手。

　　有一位年輕的病人患了嚴重的焦慮和抑鬱，我曾向他推薦過心理醫生，幾個月後他要我推薦另外一位心理醫生，我嘗試向他解釋焦慮苦惱的緣由。我們談到了諸行無常，包括他的願望也不斷地改變。如果能朝正見、正思惟、正業去努力，他其實可以歡喜接受現實，迎接未來的種種可能，痛苦也不會生起。

　　聽聞住持法師講解佛法，讓我領悟到快樂其實是非常簡單，無須向外尋，智慧存內心。若想心外尋找快樂，不外乎緣木求魚；時時觀照內心，活在當下，快樂即現。

　　(In this modern era, with more advanced scientific inventions, it appears that we have a better lifestyle. Unfortunately, we are faced with an increase in mental disorders, relationship disharmony, illicit drug users and so on. What do we do? As a Buddhist, my approach is always based on self cultivation and self reflection. It is as simple as polishing a foggy mirror and looking into the inner wisdom that we all have.

　　We live in a material world where success and happiness are judged by high-ranking jobs, big mansions or luxurious cars. My unrealistic desire to achieve what I thought was good for my family nearly cost my health and my happiness. I was always angry and had no patience with my family. My unwholesome behaviour of greed, anger and delusion made me feel even more inferior, to the point where I was never content.

　　The turning point occurred in 2014. I looked after my terminally ill father in Malaysia. My father had accepted to become a Buddhist and received the teaching from the local kind monks. He learned to practise the Sila, Dana and Breath counting meditation within a very short period. He could let go of his cancer pain and he passed away peacefully. His body was amazingly soft without signs of rigor mortis even after eight hours.

　　After I started listening to Dharma teaching, I began to have an insight to the root of my suffering and ignorance. I have learnt to accept that I am the owner of my karma. I have enjoyed my relationship with my mother ever since. If I have to review how rich and happy is my family, then I can easily score five out of five for laughter, five out of five for contentment and appreciation and five out of five for peaceful minds. Best still, I still have my career, my income, extended Dharma sisters and brothers, and the foremost Dharma teachers.

　　Lord Buddha is the greatest healer in this universe. His teaching has helped me in my career to help my patients, both physically and mentally. I feel at ease when dealing with any kind of patients, irrespective of their social economic status, gender or background. I am mindful of a non- judgemental approach.

　　I once knew a young man who suffered from severe anxiety and depression. He was referred for counselling by a psychologist for many months. After that he came back asking for another referral to continue seeing the psychologist. I explained the source of his suffering with him. We talked about the impermanent nature of all phenomenons including his wishes. With the right view, right thought and right action, he could have happily accepted the fact and the prospect of new possibilities. His suffering did not have to arise at all.

　　Happiness is as simple as one, two, three as in the Dharma Talk by the Abbess. There is no need to look anywhere else as wisdom exists within oneself. Paying attention to our mind in the present moment is the way to happiness rather than always looking at others.)
