人生在世，不过是跟着因缘走，
而因缘向来是生灭无常的.
所以，拥有无须欢喜，
因为拥有就代表了有失去的可能；
没有也不必难过，
因为没有才有机会去获得.

站在哪里
叠罗汉时，
你喜欢在哪一个位置？
最上面的？会摔得很惨。
最下面的？会被压得很痛。
中间的？又似乎不够刺激。
叠罗汉时，
我总是后悔我选择的任何位置。
Shake the tree
Said a disappointed visitor, 'Why has my stay here yielded no fruit?'
'Could it be because you lacked the courage to shake the tree?' said the Master benignly.
Anthony de Mello, SJ
Jesuit Priest, Teacher and Author
I wish you enough
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how grey the
day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear
bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
You love because …
You don't love because people deserve it. You love because you have it in your heart. You love because they are human beings, because they are the creations of God.

手表
一个女孩遗失了一支心爱的手表，
一直闷闷不乐，茶不思、饭不想，甚至因此而生病了。
神父来探病时问她：
「如果有一天你不小心掉了十万块钱，你会不会再大意遗失另外二十万呢！」
女孩回答：「当然不会。」
神父又说：
「那你为何要让自己在掉了一支手表之后，
又丢掉了两个礼拜的快乐
甚至还陪上了两个礼拜的健康呢！」
女孩如大梦初醒般地跳下床来。
说： 「对！！我拒绝再损失下去， 从现在开始我要想办法，再赚回一支手表。」
