法語 21 - 故事二:《舍利弗尊者的隨喜心》

本週法語如下:

「隨」是隨順、不違背;「喜」是歡喜、無瞋。隨喜讚歎,一方面能除去自己的嫉妒心,另一方面能成就大功德。幫助他人成就功德、福報的同時,也在成就自己的功德、福報。

When we react to others’ accomplishments with heartfelt joy and praise instead of envy  and interference, we are getting rid of our own jealousy and gaining great merits at the same time. When we help others to accomplish good deeds, we are bringing merits and blessings not only to others but also to ourselves.

📖 舍利弗尊者的隨喜心

Śāriputra’s Heart of Rejoicing


一天,竹林精舍裡,佛陀正在為弟子們講法。晨光透過樹梢,灑落在大地,空氣中彷彿都帶著清淨的光明。
One day at the Bamboo Grove Monastery, the Buddha was teaching the Dharma. Morning sunlight filtered through the treetops, filling the air with a sense of clarity and peace.


弟子們靜靜坐著,聽佛陀開示因緣與空性。有人在聽的當下豁然開悟,有人斷除了煩惱,當場證果。
The disciples sat quietly, listening to the Buddha explain the truths of causation and emptiness. Some, in that very moment, attained sudden realization. Others cut off their defilements and reached enlightenment.


舍利弗尊者坐在人群中,雙眼明亮。他看著同修們的臉龐閃爍著喜悅的光芒,心中湧起一股真誠的歡喜。
Śāriputra sat among the assembly, his eyes shining. As he saw the faces of his fellow practitioners glowing with joy, his own heart filled with deep, genuine happiness.


他合掌低聲說:「太好了!他們得法益,就像我自己也得到了!能看到大家一起解脫,這是多麼值得歡喜的事啊!」
He placed his palms together and whispered, “Wonderful! Their gain in the Dharma feels as if it were my own. To see everyone finding liberation—what greater joy could there be?”


佛陀微笑,對大眾說:「弟子們,要知道,隨喜他人的功德,就等同自己也得到了功德。舍利弗正是如此,他的心與智慧同樣增長。」
The Buddha smiled and said to the assembly, “Disciples, know this: to rejoice in the merit of others is to share in that merit oneself. Śāriputra has done just this—his heart and wisdom grow as he rejoices.”


那一刻,弟子們都深深體會:嫉妒只會讓心更狹隘,而隨喜讚歎,卻能讓心胸像天空一樣寬廣。
At that moment, the disciples realized deeply: jealousy only narrows the heart, but rejoicing in others’ success makes the heart as vast as the sky.


🌱 隨文入觀 Reflection

  • 如果我是舍利弗尊者,看到別人比自己先證悟,我會是嫉妒,還是歡喜?

  • 在生活中,當朋友或同學成功時,我能不能練習像舍利弗一樣隨喜?

  • 我的心,是因嫉妒而變得狹窄,還是因隨喜而變得開闊?

Reflect as you read:

  • If I were Śāriputra, seeing others realize the truth before me, would I feel jealous or joyful?

  • In my life, when friends or classmates succeed, can I practice rejoicing like Śāriputra?

  • Does my heart grow smaller with jealousy, or wider with rejoicing?
