a lobster (突破)

sometime ago, I saw a documentary on ocean lives.  it showed a lobster trying to break through its shell.  I could see how hard it tried, squeezing, pushing, using all its might and energy to break through.

 

once it broke through, its body became much larger,  and was swimming freely and happily in the water.

 

in our daily life, we sometimes are thrown into shells by situations or circumstances,(i.e. death of family members, broken relationships, financial problems etc.)  or we are trapped in a shell which we create for ourselves. (i.e. low self esteem, loss of confidence in ourselves, uncertainly of our future etc.)

 

to breakthrough this shell, we need to exert our utmost determination and energy, knowing that once we breakthrough, we will grow, and be free and happy.

 

chanting nam myo ho renge kyo can give us the energy and strength and hope   to break through.

 

glad to share

很久以前，我看到了一段海洋生活的紀錄片。這片紀錄了一隻龍蝦試圖突破它的外殼。我可以看到它如何努力嘗試去擠，去推它的身体，用盡它的能力去突圍而出。
一旦突破外殼之後，其身体立刻變大，並在水中輕鬆愉快地自由游動。
在我們日常生活中，有時會因為某種情況,( 例如至親的死亡, 和至愛的關係破裂，或金錢上的困境等) 被困在一個痛苦的深淵裏; 又或我們被困在一個自己為自己製造的枷鎖裏:例如自卑，對自己失去信心，對我們的未來不明朗等.
要突破這個殼，我們需要用最大的決心和努力，但要知道, 一旦突破，我們將會得到成長, 並能享受到無比的自由和快樂。
唱唸南無妙法蓮華經，可以給我們無窮的精力和體力去成功得到這突破。
