有一位禅师非常喜爱兰花，在平日弘法讲经之余，心费了许多的时间栽种兰花。有一天，他要外出云游一段时间，临行前交待弟子：要好好照顾寺里的兰花。 在这段期间，弟子们总是细心照顾兰花，但有一天在浇水时却不小心将兰花架碰倒了，所有的兰花盆都失碎了，兰花散了满地。弟子们都因此非常恐慌，打算等师父回来后，向师父赔罪领罚。 禅师回来了，闻知此事，便召集弟子们，不但没有责怪，反而说道：我种兰花，一来是希望用来供佛，二来也是为了美化寺里环境，不是为了生气而种兰花的。 禅师说得好：不是为了生气而种兰花的。而禅师之所以看得开，是因为他虽然喜欢兰花，但心中却无兰花这个挂碍。因此，兰花的得失，并不影响他心中的喜怒。 在日常生活中，我们牵挂得太多，我们太在意得失，所以我们的情绪起伏，我们不快乐。在生气之际，我们如能多想想：我不是为了生气而工作的。我不是为了生气而教书的。我不是为了生气而交朋友的。 记住一句话：生气是用别人的过错惩罚自己。不值得。朋友们：愿你们永远保持一颗年轻快乐的心境。 A Zn mastr lov orchids, praching in th sprad of mor than usual, th hart of tim costs a lot of growing orchids.
