小時候以為打針是最痛的事了,以為被老師打手板,被媽媽打,這些都是痛苦。及至慢慢長大,才知道真正的痛苦並不是你身體上的痛,身體上的痛即使再痛都可以克服,甚至在麻醉劑可以舒緩或完全止痛。真正的痛,是看不著、摸不著卻實實在在存在的痛,這種痛,痛徹心扉,卻摸不著在哪裡,所以也無從防備,只能承受。


近來雖然我的小妹開開心心的結婚,可是有許多朋友卻在黑暗中,在痛苦中,這使得我在寫文章時感到很矛盾,下筆時好像被牽扯住了,總不能全心的寫下歡樂樂的事。


人生那能沒有痛苦,在痛苦的當下又有誰能知道自己能不能挺得住呢?但總要在心靈的最深處安放自己的磐石,絕不讓自己倒下,讓自己無論如何要走出來。


 


紀伯倫在先知中這麼說痛苦:


痛苦,就像一個硬殼包覆著你的所能承受一切,硬生生被敲破打開,而你也知道就算再堅硬的殼最終都會被打破一樣,然後你的心沒有遮掩地被攤放在陽光下,每一個人最終都必須自己去面對痛苦,沒有誰能替你承受。


你的心每天都在感受生命的奇蹟,而痛苦同樣的也是生命中奇妙的事,就如同你的歡笑一樣。(人生即然有歡笑,所以必然的一定有痛苦。)


 


你的心也是有季節性的,而你也常常讓這冷暖季節的心情穿越你的心田,默默一個人承受。當你的心田正穿越著你心中悲偒的冬的季節時,你更要肅穆以待,期待冬天過去,不論是快是慢,總要相信冬天會過去,永遠不要失去信心。


 


但大多數的痛苦其實是自己的抉擇(因為我們不能處之泰然),有一位醫生在你的身體之中,是你自己可是又不是你自己,他要慢慢治好你的痛苦,而這個治療過程必然是苦楚的。雖然他下手既重且猛,可是卻由上帝溫柔的手引導著,所以在痛苦中,信任他,保持心境泰然沉默,等待心靈的冬天慢慢過去。


 


希望每個人在讚嘆生命的奇妙之後,也能順利地走出悲傷的心靈的冬天。


 


天父、其子、聖靈、智明者。


 


南無阿彌陀佛,南無觀世音菩薩,南無大勢至菩薩。


 


附英文原文


 


 


PAIN


And a woman spoke, saying, "Tell us of Pain."


And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility : For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,


And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
