敏林堪千仁波切問 :

「宿世以來的自私業種造成了無盡的輪迴，

儘管很多人已然理解了輪迴的真相，

然而他們在乎的依然還是自我，這到底是為甚麼呢？」

◎於修行任何法門、儀軌之前，敏林堪千仁波切捎來的叮嚀 :

The present moment is more important than both the past and the future.
當下比過去和未來重要

於修行任何法門、儀軌之前，務必檢視自己的動機。

倘若動機是無私的，那真好；

倘若動機是具有私心的，就應捫心自問 :

「為甚麼我只考慮到自己的利益呢？」，

然後做出適當的調整。

宿世以來的自私業種造成了無盡的輪迴，

儘管很多人已然理解了輪迴的真相，

然而他們在乎的依然還是自我，這到底是為甚麼呢？

這正是一個該好好檢視自心的跡象了。

此際的你，現在擁有了觀照和禪修的能力，

那麼就不要徒耗了本具的能力，

讓自己好好調整動機。

在日常生活中抱持正面思維是非常重要的。

然而令人遺憾的，許多人往往想的不是過去，

（吾人曾做或未做之事、他人對己所做或未做之事、讓己後悔或內疚之事）、

就是未來（想做或將做之事與計畫、內心的期許、擔憂或不安等等）。

這些思緒，實際上是在虛耗我們當下寶貴的時光。

倘若欲實現願望，當下的時刻正是最重要的一刻，

因為唯有當下，才能為我們所掌控。

我們有能力使當下成為難忘的一刻，

也有可能使其淪為遺憾，

更能夠善用當下，為未來奠下穩固的基礎。

相對於過去和未來，

皆是我們無法改變、難以預料，

人世倥傯，任誰也無法確保未來的命運；

既然如此，那麼又何必徒增煩惱與空談呢？

未來將會如何，正取決於我們當下一切的作為和抉擇！

在做任何事情、

或是眼前要立下決策之前，懇請好好檢測自心。

如果你發現內心沒有絲毫負面思緒，那麼你當慶幸；

不過你仍得祈祝這種心念能夠持續，並把這個善念迴向一切有情眾生。

任何形式的修行都是有用的。

無論你一天持咒萬遍或只是一句佛號所獲的功德，

都必須恆常與他人分享。

迴向之功德是如斯無可計量，所以非常重要啊！

The present moment is more important than both the past and the future.

Before anyone begins a practice, they should always check their own motivation.

If their motivation is selfless, then that's great; but if their motivation is selfish, then their thinking should be properly adjusted while asking themselves, "Why are my thoughts only of myself?" Having all of these past births with selfish thinking, is the cause of continuously being born in samsara. Even though in many cases the true meaning of samsara is known, how is it that anyone can still just think of themselves? This is an indication that they should check their own mind.

Now is the time, while capable of thinking and meditating, to use this potential ability to change motivation. Why waste it?

It is necessary to think properly in our daily lives. However, many people, most of the time, think of the past (what we've already done or not done, what others did to us or did not do to us, regretful actions or guilt) and if not the past, then we think of the future (what one will do, the hopes, fears, insecurities, plans, etc). While thinking about all of this, we are wasting the present time which is very precious. It is said that if we want to see wishes fulfilled, then it is the present moment that is most important. This present moment is what's under our control. We can make this moment either a memorable one or a regretful one and we can secure the foundation of our future at this very moment. The past we cannot change; and no one has seen or knows the future. Perhaps one might not live too much longer; and there's no guarantee for what is going to happen in the future so why waste time thinking or talking about it? The future depends on what is being done now and the choices being made...now.

When doing anything and while thinking of the present moment, always check your mind. If you find that your mind is free of all negativity, then you must rejoice, pray that it continues, and then dedicate its merit to all sentient beings. Any dedication prayer that one has can be used. Whether many or just a single mantra is done, one must always dedicate the merit gained. Dedication is very important and its merit is immeasurable
