师父：你来分享你在这里快乐吗？

学生：快乐。

师父：什么东西令你快乐？

学生：自由。

师父：是，自由又自在。

学生：还有静坐。

师父：静坐就是快乐，哈哈哈。有些人认为静坐无聊，是痛苦的。可是你说它是快乐。继续这样的训练，继续来快乐。人生就是快乐的。人生很少活到一百年。你要认为每一个时间，就是最重要的时间，每一天，是最重要的一天。那你不会缺少什么 。。。

通常人一直追求外面，一直追求快乐，可是他已经快乐，他不知道，他一直逃避快乐，一直追求。一面又逃避，一面又追求，那就没完没了，那就生活在苦海里面。所以这个禅修中心不是苦海，迪沙鲁海洋禅修中心是让人快乐的。谢谢你的分享。

-继闻法师,

Shifu: Would you share if you are happy here？

Student: Happy.

Shifu: What makes you happy?

Student: Freedom.

Shifu: Yes, free and at ease.

Student: And sitting meditation.

Shifu: Sitting meditation is happiness, wow, hahaha. Some people reckon that sitting meditation is boring and a pain. But you said it is happiness. Continue to train in this way, continue to be this happy. Human beings seldom live to a-hundred-year. You should regard any time as the most important time, any day as the most important day. Then you do not lack anything …

Most people keep running after happiness from the outside, but they are already happy, they don’t know, they keep running away from happiness, and they keep running after happiness. On the one hand, they escape, on the other hand they search. Never ending, non-stop, then live in ocean of suffering. So this Zen centre is not the ocean of suffering, Desaru Ocean Zen Retreat Centre is to bring happiness to others. Thank you for your sharing.
