或死后将去的地方，肯定产生恶性与负面的结果。
我的自杀，产生的负面力量，使我的亲友陷入悲伤和痛惜。
我的自杀，产生的负面力量，
也会牵动社会上潜伏的负面情绪，推动对生命缺乏信心，
和迷失的人们，以自杀的方式，逃避生活和生命的问题。
我觉知自杀并不是解决生活和生命问题的方法。
我觉知自杀使生活和生命，增添问题，
使个人、家庭和社会增添问题。
我觉知以自杀作为报复手段是没有效用。
我无法确定报复对象因于我的自杀而内疚和痛苦，
他仍旧会自我开脱。
我觉知我之所以会选择自杀，是由于内心纷乱，
不能自主，理不出头绪，看不到未来，
因此对生活和生命，感到绝望。
我忘了死亡之后，生活和生命还是会以另一个形态继续，
而自杀的负面力量，严重影响来世的我、来世的生活和生命。

因为我最后无法避开，必须继续面对。
这是我的第四个醒觉。

我决定学习调伏内心，让心勇敢起来，
在内心纷乱，不能自主，理不出头绪，看不到未来的时候
对生活和生命，依然抱着希望。
我明白暂时没有能力自己处理，
但是我相信他人能够帮助自己，
我决定学习把内心的纷乱，说出来，
让关心我的人士，协助我整理纷乱的思绪。
我决定自动寻求心理辅导师的协助，
这不是懦弱的行为，这是勇敢的行为。
我也知道，其他人也会面对生活和生命的问题，
我必须关心他们，正如我在失落和绝望的时候，
希望及时得到关心，避开踏上自杀的途径。
我决定学习调伏内心，让心专注，
关心身边的人们，
观察和聆听他们的每一个念头、每一个行动，
及时给予他们照顾，
确保他们的心理健康，
让他们对生活和生命充满希望和光明。

学仁

准备好了吗?

准 备 好 了 吗？。。。。。。。。

转眼间，年终到了。告别05 年迈进06 年的我们是否有了明确的目标及周全的计划。愿在06年的日子里，为自己，为佛教，为众生建筑慈悲的心，点燃智慧的光。

我们准备好了吗？问问自己，是否储备了足够的力量，来面对挑战？问问自己，是否还依然充满热诚来弘扬佛法？问问自己，当初的理想是否坚持到底？问问自己，有多少想做的事情却还没去实践的？问问自己，你曾有过的使命去了哪里？在年终，真的要好好问问自己，为的是提醒自己，自己是否还在学佛得道路上。年终，不是休息及偷懒的时期。相反是个关键时刻，整顿自己，整顿佛友会，从新出发 做到最好的准备期。

虽然，毕业生聚散在不同的地方，但重点是我们有的是相同的理想及使命，信仰及方向。无论您在北马，中马，南马，东海岸，东马或国外，只要心中有家，回程就 不远；只要有相同的梦想心就不会累。累时，请回想自己的初心，曾有过的法喜，风雨无阻的勇气，大家并肩走过的岁月是不能磨灭的足迹，请让它一次又 一 次 的激励自己，有如以下的词义：
这又是起点，我们有一样心愿，当我们团结，狂风巨浪也不能阻挡我们走向前。谁害怕改变，只要紧握着信念心中有梦没有遥远，跨出去就在瞬间，但谁说不能肩并着肩站稳，我们用心和用爱创造让新的世界诞生。在我心中我知道，这是永恒的长跑，好不容易来到这里，明天还要追更多荣耀。把自己角色扮演好，全力以赴每一秒，和我的家人和我的朋友，向着目标手牵手一起走到。。。。。。。。。。
手牵手，肩并肩，心连心迈向我们的目标，续佛慧命，灯灯相续，绵绵无尽。。。。。
愿大家，愿佛友会在新的一年万象更新， 气势如虹！！新年进步，吉祥如意。。。。
