Our great teacher, Shakyamuni, has given us a simple teaching to look at ourselves and our surroundings, which brings us joy and happiness in the present and in our future lives. This is his teaching to look at what is happening around us:
“This is, because that is.
This is not, because that is not.

【亞庇一日訊】沙巴寂靜禪林長老團成員開律比丘，將於四月八日、十日及十一日，分別主持中、英佛法講座及禪一，歡迎大家踴躍參加。
開律長老將於四月八日晚上八時至九時卅分，在亞庇Sky旅館 十三A樓主持一場英語佛法開示，主題為 :「Peace In Oneself Bring Joy To Others」。在十日（星期日）早上八時卅分至下午五時，則以同樣的題目以英語帶領佛友進行一日禪，地點是在斗亞蘭寂靜禪林。
一項華語的講座則於十一日晚上八時至九時卅分，在寂靜禪林亞庇斯里甘拜園行政中心舉行，主題為：「祥和能帶來欣歡」。
「人生是苦」的理論，或許只有在吃盡苦頭, 如在工作上、婚姻上、家庭上、經濟上以及在社會上碰過釘子的過來人，更能深深體會到什麼是苦的逼迫。佛陀在經教中指出人生有八種苦，是每一個身為人都有可能遭遇到的痛苦。在洞悉苦的來源後，佛陀終於了悟世間萬法皆是有因有緣的，苦的因緣具足，能令人苦不堪言，若眾生無法從根源上斧底抽薪，便難以從深淵中跳脫出來。佛陀悟出滅苦實有方法，那便是透過深層觀照，看到苦集的原因，再以正思惟等八正道法逐一剔除掉苦因苦源，當苦因滅去，苦果即不生，當喜樂的因緣具足，樂果即現。
故佛教經典中的「此有故彼有，此生故彼生，此無故彼無，此滅故彼滅。」，便是指導信眾如何離苦得樂的最上乘之法。
偉大的佛陀，教導我們了一個簡單的方法來觀照自身心和周遭的人事物。只要修習這個方法，凡有心人都可以在當下和未來得到喜悅和快樂。
故學佛是越學越輕安、越學越快樂!當一個人降服了貪、嗔、痴，內在祥和，經常保持快樂，便能常常散發慈心及把正能量散播給週圍的人。
寂靜禪林護法誠邀大家一起前來親自體驗這個單純的快樂之道！有意參加禪一者，可上網到寂靜禪林網站santavana.org 報名。
