发帖数: 7025 | 1 The Buddha praised loving kindness, and described it as divine abode, a
beautiful state of mind. We can develop loving kindness and compassion towards our parents; we wish them to be happy, and free from mental and
physical suffering, and we can take an active part in that.
As we watch our parents change over time, we realize that our parents, as worldlings, suffer from old age, illness, and are oppressed by afflictions, just as everyone else are.
As I watch my mom losing her memory, the difficulty and suffering of aging is very clear to me. I can't help her to regain her strength, or her memory; I can only make her a little more comfortable, and be loving towards her
and make her happier. I accompany her to walk in the park, and exercise indoors when the weather is not good. We have nice, warm talks. There isn't much more I can do that's really useful. That's the noble truth of suffering.
As Lord Buddha said, practice now, don't wait thinking you can practice when you retire. If there are obstacles to practice now, there will be more when you are old. We have to face aging and illness mostly by ourselves, even if we are surrounded by family and friends, as they are limited in what they can do to help. Be a shelter for yourself by practicing dharma. Even better, be an exemplar of dharma practice so that your parents become interested in
dharma and can enjoy its benefit, too. | b**d

你以为修行是去度假呀，还要等到退休以后。
我看现在起不了心修行的人，将来也不会修。
最多老了以后喝点养生汤，练练太极拳。

发帖数: 3821 | 5 年龄应该不是太大的问题。
吕祖六十四岁才开始学道，事师七年始闻道。
刘海蟾也是六十四岁学道，事师五年，
至六十九岁，始闻道。七十余岁，道始成。
紫阳真人张伯端师从海蟾时已经八十三岁了。

起不了心还是因为不够苦。
到了生老病死一起来的时候就知道了。

发帖数: 7025 | 7 你一说年长一点，能坦承自己是老人的所剩无几 :-)
一打坐就想睡，腿盘不起来，腰酸背痛，不容易专注，老公不放人，家里事容易牵挂，
记性差听了就忘，这些全听师姐们抱怨过。
年轻的特点，就是相信自己老了会跟别人不一样。如果你年轻时没跟别人不一样，为啥
老了就会跟别人不一样？

时有一天子，放身光明，普照搨补河侧。语比丘言∶「汝少出家，鲜白发黑，年始盛美
，应习五欲，庄严璎珞，涂香华鬘，五乐自娱，而于是时违亲背俗，悲泣别离，剃除须
发，著袈裟衣，正信非家，出家学道，如何舍现前乐而求非时之利」？
比丘答言∶「我不舍现前乐、求非时乐，我今乃是舍非时乐、得现前乐」。
天问比丘∶「云何舍非时乐，得现前乐」？
比丘答言∶「如世尊说∶非时之欲，少味多苦，少利多难。我今于现法中，已离炽然，
不待时节，能自通达，现前观察，缘自知觉。如是天子！是名舍非时乐，得现前乐」。
