Let”s see if your mind moves.

　　看你動不動心

　　There is a saying in China, “One who is learned has no temper.” If you truly are a learned person, you will not flare up. Why do people have tempers

　　 It is because they are not learned. If you have enough samadhi, then even if a place is supposed to be bad, you can influence it to become good.

　　中國有這麼句話說：「學問深時意氣平。」你要是真有學問，你就沒有火氣了；爲什麼人有火氣呢？就因爲學問不夠。你定力要夠了，就是這個地方應該壞的，你都能感應它變好。

　　I once told you, “As long as I am in San Francisco, I will not allow an earthquake to happen here.” For a person who does not understand Buddhism, this may sound impossible. However, a person who does understand Buddhism knows that if one has samadhi, no matter where one is, that place will be stable and will not experience calamities. We are now learning samadhi and if you really have samadhi, no matter where you are, that place will be peaceful. On the other hand, if you do not, then even if you go to a peaceful place, that place will not be peaceful for you. This is because your mind is moving.

　　以前我對你們講過，我說：「我在舊金山一天，我就不准舊金山地震。」一般不明白佛法的人，認爲這是不可能的事情；你要明白佛法，你有定力了，你在那個地方，那個地也就定了，絕對不會有問題的。我們現在學定力，你要真有定力，你到什麼地方都是平安；你沒有定力，就到平安的地方都變得不平安，因爲你心裏動了。
