18. FUGEN BOSATSU普賢菩薩
MANTRA咒語: Om samayas tvam
教導採取行動的重要性
THE PRAYER MUDRA祈禱手印
DO YOU FIND YOURSELF ALWAYS PROCRASTINATING?
你發現自己總是拖延嗎?
ㆍRealization followed by action實現後採取行動
ㆍThe road may be monotonous 路可能單調
ㆍRealization that comes from taking action行動帶來領悟
WISDOM FROM BUDDHA來自佛陀的智慧
It is important to take action first. 首先 採取行動很重要
Lately, you may be falling into a pattern of all talk and no action with thoughts like,"I'll be able to do it when the time comes."
最近你可能會陷入一種只說不做的模式，例如：「到時候我就會做到了」
Well, the time put a stop to that line of thought is now.
現在是停止這種想法的時候了
What's important isn't empty speculation—it's going out into the field and walking until you've got blisters on your feet,
重要的不是空洞的猜測——而是到田野裡走，直到你腳上起了水泡，
Sure, there is a chance that nothing dramatic or miraculous will happen,
當然，有可能不會發生任何戲劇性或奇蹟般的事情，
that perhaps the timing isn't right and nothing comes of it.
也許時機不對，什麼也沒有發生。
Even so, don't let that stop you from taking action.
即便如此，也不要因此而阻止你採取行動。
A Deeper Look 深入了解
Fugen Bosatsu is the one who set down the Ten Great Vows,spiritual practices through which everyone can become a Buddha,for the sake of all beings.
普賢菩薩立下十大願，人人皆可成佛的修行，為了一切眾生。
Asfulfilling these ten vows is no easy feat,he is known as the Bodhisattva of Taking Action.
因此十願非易事，號稱行菩薩。
He's also a very popular deity with women because of the story of how he rescued the daughter of the Dragon King.It is said that riding a white elephant with six tusks,Fugen Bosatsu appears to those who often recite the Lotus Sutra and protects them.
由於救出龍王之女的故事，他也是非常受女性歡迎的神靈。
據說騎著六顆獠牙的白象，普賢菩薩現身常誦法華經者，護佑之。
He is an active deity who shows us the importance of spiritual training,releasing us from darkness and showering us with blessings.
他是一位活躍的神靈，向我們展示了精神訓練的重要性，將我們從黑暗中釋放出來，讓我們沐浴在祝福中。
Blessings: A washing away of past trangressions, extension of life, purging of dark thoughts.
祝福：洗去過去的罪過，延長生命，清除陰暗的思想。
等待回應的同時，還是要繼續行動，
即使行動了不一定會有結果，那也只是神聖時機還沒到而已，
繼續抱著希望行動，堅定自己的信念，宇宙都會在我身邊，幫助我的！
（突然覺得自己好像信了甚麼宇宙教ｗｗｗ
