心為法本,心尊心使。
中心念惡,即言即行;罪苦自追,車轢於轍。
心為法本,心尊心使;
中心念善,即言即行;福樂自追,如影隨行。
-----《法句譬喻經.卷1——雙要品第九》
人为恶,祸虽未至,而福已远离;
人为善,福虽未至,而祸已远离。[

何为贪?
想起了看过的一则禅的故事。一个地主卖地,不要钱,过了很久,竟然没有卖出去。一位买主听说后,急急地跑来,问怎么卖不出去。地主说:“我卖地不需丈量,只需买主按步丈量,走出多远就是多少土地,但有个条件是:买主必须在太阳落山前返回到出发前的地方。”这位买主听说,面露喜色,真的是天上掉馅饼了,居然有这等好事让自己赶上了。心花怒放、[

事事都好去,脾气难化了,
真能不生气,就得无价宝。
再要不恨人,事事都能好,
烦恼永不生,怨孽从哪找。
常瞅人不对,自己苦未了!真认自己错,莫论他人非;
他非即我非,同体名大悲。(转自:http://www.drbachinese.org/online_reading_simplified/dharma_talks/volume1/volume1_21.htm)
