  NO AJAHN CHAH 100
  
  Actually, in truth, there isn't anything to human beings.
  Whatever we may be, it's only in the realm of appearances.
  However, if we go beyond appearances and see the truth, we will see that there isn't anything there but the universal characteristics - birth in the beginning, change in the middle and cessation in the end.
  This is all there is . 
  If we see that all things are like this, then no problems arise.
  If we understand this, we will have contentment and peace ...... No Ajahn Chah 100 ....

  為何佛祖有頭髮，而和尚都剃光頭？
  
  關於佛祖這個肉髻，能�大法師曾經說�， 「佛�是一種象徵，塑�乃由人所設計;�地所造之佛�形相�有��，��時代所造的佛�亦�具特色。佛經中曾述說佛的頭上有肉髻頂相，比平常人高少許，所以，造�人為營造效果，特別將此肉髻�出。肉髻頂相是佛的三�二相之一，亦是一種�者的象徵，故此，佛�頭頂的是象徵�者的肉髻而�凡夫的髮髻。�
  
  
  
  為什麼和尚�剃�光頭呢？
  
  西元å‰�5世紀，在尼泊爾和å�°åº¦äº¤ç•Œçš„一個釋迦æ—�部è�½è£¡ï¼ŒçŽ‹å­�å–¬é�”æ‘©·æ‚‰é�”多離家修行，7年後覺悟æˆ�佛，開始在æ�’æ²³æµ�域布教，廣收門徒。佛教èª�為世界是虛幻的，人生是苦難的，å�ªæœ‰æ–·é™¤ä¸€åˆ‡ç…©æƒ±ä¿®è¡Œæˆ�佛，æ‰�能é�”到永æ�†çš„幸ç¦�。佛祖釋迦牟尼最åˆ�å°�迦葉等5人說法時，親手為他們剃去了頭髮，表示接å�—他們å�šè‡ªå·±çš„弟å­�。

  "There are these five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained. Which five?
  "'I am subject to aging, have not gone beyond aging.' This is the first fact that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained.
  "'I am subject to illness, have not gone beyond illness.' ...
  "'I am subject to death, have not gone beyond death.' ...
  "'I will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to me.' ...
  "'I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir.' ...
  "These are the five facts that one should reflect on often, whether one is a woman or a man, lay or ordained."
  
  ~ Thana Sutta, AN 5:57
