【一心】Wholeheartedness

昨天在油管，簡單地回覆一位觀眾的問題。

問：老师，我想请教您一个我很好奇的问题。那些不识字的人，看不懂佛书所以他们是不是比较没福报呢？如果是，那他们能如何学习佛法与传统文化？

答：生命您好，佛教禪宗六祖惠能不識字，但卻是開悟者。不識字雖是福報少，但與個人是否有佛緣和根器好壞是兩回事。

有佛緣，必會遇到善知識引導他她。根器好，必會容易開竅。家境貧苦、沒讀過書的六祖惠能當年聽到他人唸一句金剛經而已，就啟發了他想學佛的心。

有時學歷高的人，反而會自現障礙，不見得比一個只會一心唸「阿彌陀佛」的老婆婆還有福報。

I briefly replied to a question on Youtube yesterday.

Q: Teacher, I wish to ask you a burning question on my mind. For the illiterate who are unable to read Buddhist books, does that mean they have less good fortune? If so, how are they going to learn the Dharma and traditional culture?

A: Hi Life, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Huineng, is illiterate, but he attained enlightenment.

While being illiterate does mean less good fortune, it is an different issue from whether a person has affinity with Buddhism and the nature of his innate character + acceptance of the Dharma.

When one has Dharma affinity, he is bound to meet a virtuous knowledgeable person to guide him.

When one has good character and high acceptance of the Dharma, he gains understanding fast.

The Sixth Patriarch Huineng had no education and was left in poverty as a child when his father died. But he was awakened when he heard someone reciting a verse from the Diamond Sutra. He then sought to learn the Dharma.

Sometimes, erudite people become their own obstacles, because of their high education.

And thus, they may not have more good fortune than an old grandmother who recites "Amitabha" with a devoted heart.

DESCRIBE AN INTERESTING OLD PERSON YOU KNOW

When it comes to this particular topic, the first person that springs to mind is my next- door neighbor - Mr Tam, a considerate and thoughtful old man. We have been friends for several years since the day he moved into my neighborhood. Despite the obviously huge age gap, we got on like the house on fire at the very first time we met, and I admire him so much for many valuable virtues of his.

To most people, the idea of senior men often rotates around how old-fashioned and conservative they can be, or how forgetful they are. Mr Tam, to me, is the embodiment of the exact opposite. My deepest impression on him, which is also the reason why we clicked at the very first time we met, is that he is very good with tech gadgets. Unlike many same-age counterparts who are mostly dismissive of anything modern, Mr Tam is not technology-illiterate at all. He often posts adorable pictures of his grandchildren on Facebook, and I believe that he takes great pleasures in replying to every compliment about how radiant and effulgent they look.

I also adore this man for his sentimentality. In his younger years, Mr Tam used to be soldier who fought for the country in the Vietnam War. He is sometimes reminiscent of the days when he was in the army. I remember there was one time when he got a little bit emotional about his friends who laid down their lives in the battle. Whenever we talk, he always reminds me and my friends to keep moving forward in life, so that the sacrifices of his friends will not go to waste.

To me, Mr Tam is both a friend and an inspiration. I admire him for his wisdom, his heart and many of his life advice. He is truly a friend that I never thought I would be so lucky to have.

A story of a friendship between an elderly person and a school kid, kinda reminds me of Pixar's UP, which the both of them helped each other unknowingly.
