大师游戏II 101～佛性

今天是大师游戏第101天星期五，继续读Treya的故事，不幸又一次来袭，病症又复发了，而且扩散到了肺部和脑部。

The first week after I got the bad news I just fell apart. I let everything come up that wanted to come up - anger, fear, rage, sadness. It all seemed to wash through
me and then out of me, and I returned
to simply being with what is. If this
is what is, then this is what is. It feels like acceptance, not resignation, but who can know for sure? Am I kidding myself? That same small voice saying, Treya, you should be worried. But it's a pale voice, it seems. It's there, but it's having a hard time getting an audience.

感觉在经历了短暂的情绪冲刷之后，Treya彻底地接纳了现状，如果现状是这样的，那就是这样的，百分百地接纳。

Buddhism, on the other hand, is a real source of comfort when things are bad. Instead of leading me to rant and rave about the state of things or start a crusade to correct them, it helps me accept the way
things are. But this doesn't lead to passivity since the emphasis is always on right effort while freeing oneself from craving and from
aversion. In fact, for me effort becomes easier, almost paradoxically, because I find myself less attached to results,more involved in investigating what's happening than in setting goals, striving to reach them, and being disappointed if I don't.

佛教对Treya的帮助很大，它在Treya遭遇逆境的时候带给Treya心灵的慰藉，她让Treya轻松地走在一条接纳的路上，无论遇到什么都可以。

I'll gladly trade in my anger for joy, thank you! Now I wonder how this study will make me feel when I'm feeling depressed and
unjoyful. . . . The possibility of endless bouts of this kind of yo-yo reaction to new articles, newstudies, new test results, new prognoses, on and on, is exactly why cultivating equanimity, being with what is,observing without trying to change or
make "better" helps me so much.

从Treya的文字中感受到了佛教给她带去的佛性，什么是佛性呢？佛性 = 内心平静 + 接纳当下 + 中正观察

Pain is not punishment, death is not
a failure, life is not a reward.

痛苦不是惩罚，死亡不是失败，生命不是奖赏，在修行的路上，Treya的佛性持续增长！
