一切有為法,如夢幻泡影,如露亦如電,應作如是觀


一切有為法,如夢幻泡影,如露亦如電,應作如是觀。《金鋼經》
這是佛教中非常有名的四句偈,也是非常強而有力的警句。


This is a classic Buddha teaching, yet, do you know what it really means?

I have such luck and honour to have a chance to read 5 books by a Taiwanese writer, 吳九箴, who have written a series of books about teachings of Buddha in a new dimension and new angle.

Alot of us always thing Buddhism is a teaching, which taught us to hide in the mountains, meditating, praying and fasting for the whole day and even the whole of your life.

However, in Mr Wu's book, he bring new dimensions, which ask us to go into the 'world' enjoy what is around you, love and hate, sweetness and bitterness, fame, fortune and poor, as even Siddhārtha Gautama had gone through all these things before he understand that there is a need to find out the ultimate truth and the true meanings of life, eventually become a Buddha.

I really wish some more people could have such chance to read the book from Mr Wu and eventually understand (悟) what is the true meanings of life.

You and I are Buddha in nature, we need to find our own way (not follow the same path of anyone, even Siddhārtha's), as everyone have their own path of understanding (悟道). My fellow Buddhas, please work hard and work with your heart.

Here is Mr Wu's Blog, wish that could help you on your path as well:-
