如人飲水,冷暖自知

Only the Drinker of the Water Knows its Temperature


打七不是隨梆唱影,敷衍了事,來湊熱鬧。
You should be aware that attending a session is not something you can be perfunctory about,
or just join in for fun.

這次觀音七已經圓滿了。每個人要把自己感應的境界向大眾報告,給大眾作為借鏡。念觀世音菩薩聖號,有什麼感應?有什麼境界?或者開了智慧?或者斷了煩惱?或者破了執著?所謂「如人飲水,冷暖自知」。每個人自己知道,外人不曉得。

各位要曉得打七不是隨梆唱影,敷衍了事,來湊熱鬧。而是剋期取證,分秒必爭的用功,一點也不能馬虎。在這七天之中,或者見到菩薩現光,或者見到現華,或者感覺身心輕安愉快等等,這些都是境界。

 

This Guanyin session has been completed. Each of you should relate to the assembly any states or responses you've had, so the assembly can learn from your experiences. What kinds of responses did you have from reciting Guanyin Bodhisattva's holy name? What states did you have? Have you developed wisdom? Have you severed all afflictions? Have you broken through attachments? It's said, “In drinking water, only the drinker knows its temperature.” People know for themselves what others do not. Attending a session is not something you can be perfunctory about, or just join in for fun. To achieve something in the limited time available, you have to work hard, strive every second, not be casual. During these seven days, people may have seen Bodhisattvas emitting light, or flowers appearing, or felt a happiness and a light ease in their bodies and minds. These are all states.
