愛慾之夢, A DREAM OF LOVE
人在愛慾之中,獨生獨死,獨來獨去.這種臨終時的恩愛別離, 一別之後改頭換面, 再遇到時也不認識.
We enjoy our feeling of love when we are alive, but become alone again when we die. We seperate with each other at the moment when we die one day, and we forget each other again in the next life after the transmigration, even though we will meet again in other places, times, conditions, we will not able to remember each other anymore.
要是真正覺悟之後, 知道此事是一埸空.
If you really understand there is nothing more than a dream in this life,
人生如夢, 不過是一場夢而已.
then you really understand the truth and able to wake up soon.
我們平常作夢的時間短, 這個夢的時間比較長一點而已.
The differences between the daily dream we have, is that those dreams are shorter, but the dream of our entire life is a little bit longer.
唯有念''阿彌陀佛''求生西方極樂世界, 這是離開做夢的方法.
The only method to leave, and if you willling to do so..
always think of or call the Buddhist name, ''OR NEI TOR FU''.

好好說話 A story about talking inappropriately
因果故事：一個不好好說話的人
A story about talking inappropriately.
有時，一個人可以說話，且可以好好的說話，順意的說出他想說的話，從某個角度來看，是一種福氣，因為對一個已經喪失說話能力，或說話困難痛苦的人來說，能夠暢意的表達自己的意見，無異是一種奢求，這一點，對"身在福中"而能夠正常開口說話的人來說，除非"用心"，不然是難以體會這種"福氣"的。□
Sometimes, a person who can speak whatever he want to speak already in a very good luck in the point of view of Buddhist. On the point of view of a person who cannot speak, such as a deaf-mute person, he may willing to forgone everything to trade back the ability to speak. It is a good fortune for a person who can speak.

水蓮齋主講了一個發人深省的故事。□
There is a story told by a buddhist, and it is was a very reflective and valuable story.
There is a story told by a buddhist, and it is was a very reflective and valuable story.
有一天，一個五十多歲的傳統婦人，經人介紹找到水蓮齋主。
Once upon a time, there was a woman who was about 50 years old and was introduced to the Buddish who told this story.
Once upon a time, there was a woman who was about 50 years old and was introduced to the Buddish who told this story.
“你很難想像，竟然有人連說話都那麼痛苦吃力！”水蓮齋主感嘆的說道，話語中流露著一種悲憫。□
The Buddist said sadly, '' It is hard to imagine that there is someone who need to use her entire power to speak out a word from her mouth.
The Buddist said sadly, '' It is hard to imagine that there is someone who need to use her entire power to speak out a word from her mouth.
她說，當這婦人開口說話時，聲音好像“哽”在喉嚨裡，話語要出卻出不來的樣子，往往一句話要很辛苦很吃力的才能說出來，而當在說話時，不只呼吸急促的喘動著，而且可以很明顯的看到她臉上痛苦扭動的表情。□
The Buddhist said, when the woman tried to speak a word, the sound just blocked within
her Pharynx. After she pronunced a word, she seemed to be soffucate. This showed how painful to speak for her.

her Pharynx. After she pronunced a word, she seemed to be soffucate. This showed how painful to speak for her.
當這婦人費力的、斷斷續續的從喉間“擠”出發音扭曲的敘述後，才知道，原來，她罹患說話困難的症狀，已經有兩三年之久了，開始時較輕微，到後來愈來愈嚴重，嚴重到不止話說不大出來，而且說話時也因嚴重的氣喘，而帶動著胸腹中一種被擠壓而連帶全身的痛苦，雖然看遍中西醫，仍然找不出真正的病因。□
After that woman talked about her story painfully, the fact that she suffered from barriers of
speaking for 2-3 years. She said, when she speak, she feel like her chest is pressed by
somebody and she felt so painful within the entire body. Although she had consulted a lot of chinese andwestern doctor, the reaon of her illness cannot be found.

水蓮齋主說，這婦人罹患說話困難的症狀，肇因於前世“不好好說話”的業報。□
The Buddhist said, the reason of suffering this illness was because of the wrong doing she made before this life.
The Buddhist said, the reason of suffering this illness was because of the wrong doing she made before this life.
在前世，這婦人是一男子，但口德極差，稍不如意即破口罵人，而且喜歡在背後說人是非，至於挑撥離間更是能事，終其一生，以□恨、嫉妒的心胸，善說話的嘴巴，不知造下多少的“口業”。以至今世遭此報應。
每個人都只有一張嘴巴，兩片唇，所有寬柔的言語，誠實的言語，禮貌的言語，安慰的言語，稱讚的言語，都是由人的嘴巴說出來的。而所有刻薄的言語、欺詐的言語、滷莽的言語、打擊的言語、毀謗的言語，也都是由人的嘴巴說出來的。
Before this life, that woman was a man who always blame people, liked to gossip a lot, and told lies in order to broken the relationship between the people in the surrounding. Therefore, the punishment exist in this life.
In fact, everyone have lips, all people can speak gentlely, comfortly, honestly and sincerely. By the way, foul language, lying, acrimonious wording are also come out from your lips.

至於我們，我們要選擇說什麼樣的話呢？三思之後而言，也是為我們自己的將來負責。
So, what kind of wording do you choose to speak? Please be considerate before saying anything as youare responsible for the consequence followed by speaking.
