Anywhere Is

最近聽我父親說，我很尊敬的一位師父失蹤了。
此師父沒出家時就把楞嚴經背下來了。
我曾發願，任何一位讀、背楞嚴經、咒之人，都是我的大德。我會支持他。

我心裡很難過。他是我的模範說。
那天下大雨，又黑又冷，我穿托鞋去請經。一位師父給我五本英文楞嚴經。
是這位師父叫我背楞嚴經的。
下次回去時，在此道場沒找到一位能背楞嚴經的師父的話，就表示這道場在末法了！那以後也不大想去了。

如果出外修行外參應是好事。
如果還俗，也是好事，把俗事辦好再說。
修行路長。不要急。千萬別尋短見才好。

忍、忍、忍，還是忍。
心無所住，故處處忍。沒有什麼好逃避的。

Enya 的歌Anywhere Is 就是這個意思。

Anywhere Is (無所住而生其心) by Enya (lyrics)
I walk the maze of moments
but everywhere I turn to
begins a new beginning
but never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
and there I find another
it all seems so surprising
and then I find that I know


Chorus:
You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
if we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is


The moon upon the ocean
is swept around in motion
but without ever knowing
the reason for its flowing
in motion on the ocean
the moon still keeps on moving
the waves still keep on waving
and I still keep on going


Chorus

I wonder if the stars sign
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light shine
enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation
no Vega no Orion


The shells upon the warm sands
have taken from their own lands
the echo of their story
but all I hear are low sounds
as pillow words are weaving
and willow waves are leaving
but should I be believing
Then I am only dreaming


Chorus

To leave the tread of all time
and let it make a dark line
in hopes that I can still find
the way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
begin a new beginning
still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
It's either this or that way
it's one way or the other
it should be one direction
it could be on reflection
the turn I have just taken
the turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.
