隆波田禅师：幸运日 Lucky Days

1-2-3. LUCKY DAYS幸运日

We are human beings with a superior mind, we dont have to be afraid of ghosts or anything whatsoever, we dont have to run and find any refuge because self is the refuge of self, who else could be a refuge ?. Angels cant be a refuge, auspicious timing cant be a refuge.

我们是拥有优越心智能力的人类，不需要害怕鬼神或任何其它东西；也不需要到处去寻求庇护，因为自己才是自己的庇护，除了自己，还有谁可以作庇护呢？天神不能作为庇护，吉时也不能作为庇护。

Suppose the train leaves at 08.00, but the fortuneteller says that 8 Oclock is not auspicious, well break our legs going at that time, we should go at 08.20 in order to have luck. If we follow his advice well just miss the train ! So dont be interested in luck and auspiciousness, what is important is to catch the train but while were going we must be careful ; dont collide with anything. To catch the train in safety is what is auspicious ; no need for a fortuneteller.

假设有一班火车预定早上八点要开，但算命的说八点不吉利，那个时候出门会摔断腿，要好运的话就得在8点20分出发。如果我们听他的话，那就会错过那班火车了！所以，不要迷执所谓的好运或吉利，真正重要的是去赶上那班火车，不过，我们一路上要小心，不要去撞上任何东西。安全地赶上火车就是真正的吉利，而这个根本不需要算命师！

If you want to be rich, you must know how to buy and sell, you must be economic, be polite. If you dont speak pleasingly, even if you sell cheap, you wont have buyers. This is a way of selling and buying which is more trustworthy than auspiciousness.

如果你想变得富有，你必须知道怎么做买卖、必须有利可图、还得待客有礼；如果你讲话不讨人欢喜，即使你卖得很便宜也不会有顾客上门。这就是想要有钱的买卖之道，这比好运或吉利更实在可靠。
