◎中國祖師有句名言「隨緣消舊業，莫再結新殃」，碰到不好的事，會使你透不過氣來，或者暴跳如雷。但當你想到這是「往業」而今償還，不就欣然接受了嗎！乃至於反省自己以前居然做這麼惡的事，傷害了別人，如果業報沒顯現，我還不知道，這樣不但不再埋怨，反而覺得慚愧。【日常師父法語】
As a Chinese master once said: “Eradicate past karma in accord with the conditions you encounter, and do not create any more karma.” Mishaps can be very distressing and irritating for you. However, as long as you realize that sufferings do result from your own past karmas and now you are just paying the “debts”, it will be more acceptable. Then you may have the introspection that you used to do such evil things and harm others. Were it not for recent retributions, you would still be unaware of the past karmas. This way, you are no longer complaining, but feeling ashamed instead. – Master Jih Chang
