积德与损德

很多人都希望自己的生活能过得好一些、自在一些、富足一些。又因为初闻佛法，知道做善事可以积福积德，使自己一切顺利，所以他们经常做许多善事，例如放生、布施、做义工等等。但有的人经常虽然做了各种善事，他们的境遇却仍不顺利，于是他们就会抱怨上天不公：为何自己如此行善却还不如那些没行善事的人？便会产生对上天的不满，认为自己没有得到应得的善报……这是因为很多人忽视了一点：我们一边在积极修福的同时，是否也在不停地折损自己的福分呢？例如积的福德都在自己的一思一念、一言一行中折损了的人其实大有人在。我们之前听过一个故事，讲的是心镜的司镜吏讲述神如何看人心的。很多人都知道有业镜，但业镜所照的只是人一生中所做的善事恶事而已，至于人内心的细微感触、感情真伪的微妙变化是瞬息万变的。所以有些人，若单从外表上看，往往能给人慈祥、善良的印象，而他的内在，却掩藏着魔鬼般的用心。这些隐藏在内心深处的罪恶却是可以被心镜照到的。掌管心镜的司镜吏会仔细观察、记录下这些人内心的种种现象，并以此为依据而定下他们的罪福。所以不要以为自己干了见不得人的事，不告诉别人就没事了，三尺头上有神明，任何阴恶都掩盖不住，只会招致更大的惩罚！从内心要求自己做个好人，才是人应该遵行的法则。

Accumulate virtue or lose virtue

Many people want to live a better, more comfortable and prosperous life. And because they first heard about the Buddhadharma, they knew that doing good deeds could accumulate good fortune and make them all go well, so they often did many good deeds, such as releasing animals, giving alms, doing volunteer work, and so on. But some people often do all kinds of good deeds, but their situation is still not smooth, so they will complain about the injustice of God: Why are they doing such good deeds, but they are not as good as those who have not done good deeds? There will be dissatisfaction with God, thinking that they have not received the good retribution they deserve... This is because many people have overlooked one point: while we are actively cultivating blessings, are we constantly compromising our blessings? ? For example, there are many people who have lost their accumulated merit in their thoughts, thoughts, words and deeds. We have heard a story before. It was about the Mirror clerk of the Heart Mirror about how God looked at people's hearts. Many people know that there is a karma mirror, but what the karma mirror reflects is only the good and bad deeds done in one's life. As for the subtle changes in people's inner feelings and the authenticity of their feelings, they change rapidly. Therefore, some people, if only from the outside, can often give people the impression of being kind and kind, but inside, they hide a devil-like intention. These sins hidden deep in the heart can be seen by the mirror of the heart. The Mirror Officer in charge of the Heart Mirror will carefully observe and record the various phenomena in these people's hearts, and based on this, they will determine their guilt. So don't think that you have done a shameful thing, you will be fine if you don't tell others, there is a god on the head of three feet, any evil can't be covered up, and it will only lead to greater punishment! Asking yourself to be a good person from the heart is the law that people should abide by.

说英语

其实在很久以前，我们就定过要在平时说英语的规定，但我们并没有认真对待。这周在叔叔的监督下我们终于开始执行说英语这件事了。虽然一开始我们有些不适应，但其实几个小时过后我们就习惯了。我发现在日常生活中说英语真的很有助于学习英语，这样可以在短时间内记住很多单词，因为当我们遇到不知如何说的单词时，我们就会立刻查一下，这样在情景的辅助下就可以更轻松的记住单词。希望我们可以一直坚持这样说下去，相信不久我们的英语就会有很大的进步了。

Speak English

In fact, a long time ago, we made a rule to speak English at ordinary times, but we did not take it seriously. This week, under the supervision of my uncle, we finally started to speak English.
