One Act of Random Kindness - A Step of young man 隨缘善應 - 年青之步 Hur Fong Chia

---

When you see an issue, a problem, would you fix it up? or leave it hoping someone else can fix it for you. The issue probably had nothing to do with you in the first place. But, all you have to do is open up your mind and let your true heart lead the way, this is natural and ‘Tao’ is Natural. If it was I, I would fix the problem up without a doubt. Fixing the smallest problems we see in our world already makes the world a better place. Helping a friend when he needs help, or helping an elderly walk across the street can keep your heart happy for the full day.  When I learned Tao, I understood that being natural is the best thing; we are to be natural to help others and ourselves. I remember one time, when I saw a kid injured on the floor, I immediately ran up to him to check if he was okay, I then sought medical attention for him by bringing him to one of the adults. At the first sight when I saw the injured boy, I immediately knew what I had to do, it was natural. I didn't wait for anyone to take my place and help him; I just did what I had to do. The time I was helping the kid, my brain and heart was only fixed on saving the kid, even though the injury may not have been fatal, I only wished him well and that he would have a fast recovery. The gates of heaven were open while I was helping this kid; my heart was open and filled with kindness. I know what I did was the natural reaction and the right thing.  Understanding of Tao can be started by doing simple things like these, be kind to others and see the world as a beautiful place.  You may not know but if you want to open your mind then you can start with the 'One Act of Random Kindness'. I'm on the streets, I randomly see a piece of rubbish on the floor, I will randomly pick it up and throw it in the bin, the event is random, but what I did was not. This is Tao because what I have started to do is express my random kindness naturally to the world. We can kindly do simple good things that benefit our environment, yourself or others to make our world an even better place. I have learnt a lot through understanding Tao, I know the benefits from helping others, and I know not to be petty-minded over small things and learn to be forgiving. I know that I do what my heart really wants me to do, because it is right, it is Tao in my daily life. 譯文 隨缘善應 - 年青之步 當你看到一個有問題的事或問題，你是否選擇把它處理好？或任由它演變甚至期望他人為你解決？這件事情可能一開始與你完全無關，但是，你只需要放下成見任由您的真心來處理，這就是『自然』，而『道』就是自然。 如果是我，我會毫無疑問的去解決這個問題，處理的問題或許很小，但卻可以使我們的世界變得更美好。幫助需要幫助的朋友，或扶持老人過馬路，會使你的內心感受到一整天的快樂。 當我在學習『道』，我理解到自然是最好的；我們應很自然的去幫助別人，成就我們自己。 記得有一次，我看見了一個小孩受傷在地上，我立即跑前去看他是否有問題，然後把他交給一位成年人尋求醫療照顧。乍見這受傷的男孩，我很自然的、立即做我該做的，我不會呆著等待其他人來幫助他，我只是做我該做的事。 當我在幫助這孩子的時候，我心中只有一個『要拯救這孩子』的念頭，即使他受的傷不至於致命，我只願他沒事並希望他早日恢復健康。當我在幫助這孩子的時候，天堂的大門是開着的，因為我的心是開闊和充滿善意的；我知道我所做的事是自然的反應和正確的，所謂的『道』，沒有想像中困難，它可以從簡單的事情開始做好，比如善待他人，如此，你將看到這是個美麗的世界。 你可能不知道『隨緣善應』的行為能打開我們的心靈。當我在街上看到地上的一些垃圾時，我會把它撿起來扔進垃圾桶，事件是偶遇的，但我善以處理，這就是道，因為我自然的這麼做，表達了我對這世界的關懷。 我們可以做簡單、有益的事，這將使我們的環境、自己或他人受益，並使這個世界變得更美好。 明白『道』，使我學習到更多，我了解到幫助他人的好處，並知道不該為小小的事情而煩惱，甚至從中學習到如何原諒；我了解我所要做的一切是從我內心所發端，因為這是正確的，因為～道在我日常生活中。 By：謝和峰 - Hur Fong Chia(1997年生)/九達文德長老院 皓彰組 澳洲單位    譯：明誠 (傳拓根據作者原意初校)
