After Reading "A Pair of Silver
Chopstick"
A few weeks ago, I read an article entitled "A Pair of
Silver Chopstick" written by our Grand master Lu
through the internet. After going through the article, my
whole body stiffened. It seemed I was stunned by an
explosion. I feld sad, dismayed and irritated in a helpless
state.
I couldn't believe my eyes, for it was incredible that
students could harm our Grand Master! How dare, how
could and how cruel were they? How come... I was
confused with indignation and my shock was
over-whelming my internal anger. It was beyond my
belief and how incredible it was!
I certainly have learnt that some of the sentient beings are
cruel; some are materialistic and dirty minded.
But is it possible to the extent of harming our teacher
(Grand Master Lu)?
Our Grand Master is the protecting Guru of hundred
million of the sentient beings. Therefore, injuring the
Master is equivalent to disrupting the Dharma Wisdom of
the sentient beings. Should we die , at least our souls
could be delivered by our Grand Master. However,
should our Dharma Wisdom be finished, who could be
able to make it survive?
Just think about it! harming our Grand master is
equivalent to harming the countless sentient beings'
Dharma Wisdom.
Why one is so cruel of doing this? After going through a
state of anger, I am gradually aware that in this
five-unwholesome Karma word, it is a natural trend to be
taken lightly. It has been occurring continuously in the
past, in the present days will be in the future. Such an
event is disquieting me.
I hereby wish to make a vow that should I posses a
boundless power one day, I would devote myself to take
over the Karma (hindrances) committed by the sentient
beings and, on behalf of our Grand Master, suffer the
injury inflicted on him. May our Grand Master peacefully
live in the would in order to turn the Dharma Wheel
eternally.
