短暫的發瘋
想生氣怎麼辦
先罵自己
別人是空的存在
二千多年前
莊子說過一個故事
兩艘船對撞時
船上有人
我們會很生氣
船上無人
反而會自認倒霉
所以，要視作船上無人
勿對空船生氣
正要開車，卻沒油了
太太急得責怪
老公開車前為何不加油
老公笑笑地說
有加呀，三個月前就加了
沒有生氣的反駁
也就無言以對
我年輕的時候
愛發脾氣，個性又急躁
只要家人的步伐慢些
無名火上來
就像是鼓漲的刺，隨時想螫人
氣功老師說：
深而長的呼吸、默數到十
蹲下來
看到比我低的地平線
閉上眼睛
容許不完美的自己
也容許並非全能的別人
發出脾氣只是您的本能
能壓抑住才是您的本事
任何事都可以找出幽默點
只要笑得出來
就不會生氣
就不會引爆火氣了
發脾氣是短暫的發瘋
傷了和氣
損了自己形象，與內在的修為
脾氣一發，
是朝別人射了一箭
氣消了
箭拔出來了
心靈還是會留下疤痕
無論說了多少次「對不起」
傷痕永遠都在
請別讓自己發瘋
容許放自己一馬
若沒有足夠愛的存款
就別讓愛變成負債【英文對照】Temporary Insanity
What to do when I am about to get angry
Scold ourselves first
Because others are non-existent
Over two thousand years ago
Master Zhuang-zi narrated a story,
When two boats collided into each other
if there are people on board the boats
We would be furious
If there are no people on board the boats
Instead, we would think it is unlucky
So, we must treat this situation as if there are no people on
board the boat
So we would not become angry with an empty boat’
She was going to drive the car, yet the car has no petrol
The wife was so desperate that she scolded her husband
Why didn’t he filled up the petrol before driving
The husband laughed and said
Yes I have filled up some three months ago.
Since there is no counter reaction to anger
she has no way to retaliate
When I was young
I was hot-tempered, with a very impatient character
If my family could not keep up with my pace
I would get furious
Just like the bulging thorn, ever ready to prick people
My Qigong teacher said
Take a deep and long breath, count to ten in silence
Squat down
Look at the horizontal plane lower than me
Close your eyes
Accept your imperfections
Also accept others’ incapacity
throwing temper is just your instinct
controlling your temper is your capability
You can always find a sense of humor in anything
If you can just smile
You would not get angry
Then you would not ignite heated anger
Throwing one’s temper is temporary insanity
It would spoil cordial friendships
Damage our personal image, and our inner cultivation
When we get angry
It is like shooting an arrow at others
When we cool down our temper
The arrow is taken out
The spiritual mind however would be left with scars
No matter how many times we [apologize]
The scars would remain forever
Please don’t ever allow ourselves to get mad
Allow instead to set ourselves free
If one does not have a sufficient emotional bank account
Then do not let love turn it into debt
