修行者蒂帕嬤的心得

Advice of a Spiritual Teacher DipaMa

• This is the advice from a spiritual teacher who was born in a poor family and eventually rose to great spiritual height. You can access the six points she stressed and her life story on wikipedia through the links provided below. It is interesting that she had a habit of wishing others well which included praying for /blessing cars and airplanes. She emphasized "mindfulness" which to me is similar to the advice of "living in the present".

這是一位20世紀出生平凡而成就偉大的女修行者蒂帕嬷(DipaMa)的心得。Dipa Ma 以居士之身中年開始修行，很短時間內得到了很大的成就；如實地證到了五種神通的驚人成就，例如她可以分身、穿牆、預知。而後她又不再修習神通，因為她覺得對證道有障礙。她為西方弟子傳法並獲得了世界級的聲譽。她的開示與漢藏大德異曲同工，以下是她的修行開示。

Meditate all the time （隨時隨地禅修）

Practice patience （忍辱）

Free your mind （放開你的心）

Cool the fire of emotions （冷卻情緒之火）

Simplify （簡單生活）

Cultivate the spirit of blessing（祝福他人）
