      几位新认识的朋友泡茶聊天,有一位问我:“我们要怎么样才能感受到无常?”

      我说:“无常是随时随地都在的,只是没有发生在我们身上时,我们不能感觉罢了!

      就像我们正在喝茶的这一刻,这个世界上有人正在热恋,而有人刚刚失恋;有人正在死亡,而有人,刚刚诞生;有人正在欢欣大笑,也有人正在悲哀哭泣……

      我们时空的每一刻,都是如此无常,如果我们仔细聆听,会同时听到婴儿的啼哭与老人死的悲叹,会听见笑声与哭声同时存在!

      众人听了,都陷进沉思里,默默无言我趁这沉默的空当,因久泡而失去滋味的茶叶倒掉,边倒边说:“你们看这萎黄的茶叶,在一小时前还有着多么芬芳呀,这就是无常!我们的人生短暂,实在经不起泡几泡的.”

      等朋友走了,我一边收拾茶桌,一边想着,因为生命无常,所以每一道茶都要专心地泡,由于人生短暂,所以每一刻都要用心地生活.

      人生,实在经不起泡几泡的.

Just ForThis Moment

I chatted with several new friends.One of them asked me:“How could we come to feel the uncertainity of life?”

I said:“the uncertainity is existing at every where and every moment.When it doesn’t come to us,we simply have no sense of it.”

Just seemingly like the moment we are drinking,some are falling love with each other deeply while some are suffering a failure love;some are confronted with death while some are faced with new life;some are laughing to tears while some are crying in agony.

It is all uncertain for every moment in our world. If we are willing to listen carefully, the cry of an infant and the sigh of an elder will be both heard,the same as the existence of the laughter and cry.

At the moment ,I poured out the tea leaves which had lost their taste for they had been soaked several times.I said:“Looking at these faded yellow leaves ,how fragnant they were an hour ago,but now……this is so-called uncertainity!the passage of our life is too short to tolerate so much soaking.”

After friends had gone,I cleaned my table while considering.Due to the uncertainity of life ,we should soak every tea absorbingly.Thanks to the shortage of life,we should live seriously.

Life is so fragile to tolerate several soaking.
