許其正：落地生根

落地生根，落地便生根！

是的，落地便生根！土地是財富之母，所有生命的根本。沒有土地，根著何處？生命如何存在、生長、發榮、成熟、結果？

生命需要新陳代謝。上一代需要扶掖下一代；為了成全下一代，甚至可以犧牲自己，使他們能夠繁衍子孫，繼往開來，生生不息。於是，有了這種感人的現象：落葉更護花。更有一種植物，叫做落地生根，而且確確實實做到：落地便生根。

這種現象，看似平常；但是其中包含了多少愛心，多少犧牲，多少情意！

這是怎樣的一種情操！

確實，個體的歲壽有時而盡，大我的生命則是無限的。與其爭一時，何如爭千秋？與其為個體一時的茍活，何如為大我的長存？眼光放大放遠是很必要的。不要只把眼光放在一點，要放在整個宇宙生命的存亡絕續上。只看自己一時的榮辱虛名小利何用？如果對整個宇宙生命的生生不息無益，那只好罷了。

古人老早說過了：「死有輕於鴻毛，有重於泰山。」這就要看人的自我抉擇了。

Miracle leaf   Hsu ChiCheng

Miracle leaf, it grows root immediately while leaf falls down on the ground.

Yes, grows root immediately while leaf falls down on the ground. Ground is the mother of wealth, the root of all life. Where root lands without ground? How life exists, grows, flourishes, ripens, bears?

Life needs metabolism. Last generation needs to foster future generation, even to give up self help to achieve a desired end to future generation, let them can multiply offspring, to carry on the past and open a way for future, grow and multiply without end. Hence, this kind of touching situation will be appeared: more shield flower while the leaf is fell. And more over, there is a kind of plant, called miracle leaf, and do engage surely in it: grows root while leaf falls on the ground.

It looks like common of this kind of situation; but it includes how much love, give up self, affection!

What a kind of sentiment it is!

Certainly, the year of individual will come to an end, the life of every one is endless. Instead of win temporary, how can we win eternal? Instead of live at the expense of principles or hour for individual, how can we strife for the long live of every one? It’s need for enlarge your eyes. Don’t only put your eyes on a spot, you ought to lay on the life or death of whole the universe. What use for just look at the temporary honour or disgrace and unwarranted reputation and small interest? It will cast if no benefit to grow and multiply without end of the life of whole the universe.

The ancient once said:” Dead is rather heavier than Tarzan and thinner than wild goose’s feather.” It’s up to you to choose.@
