奥兰多·布鲁姆 | 讲述自己的佛教修行

Hello, yeah, I’m Orlando Bloom. I’m an actor, I’m a father. I was living in London. And I was， I was sort of racing through life. I was very inquisitive, very excited, and very, and full of the youthful vigor for life. Which I still have, fortunately, cos I still have my practice.

大家好，我是奥兰多·布鲁姆，我是个演员，也是一位父亲。有段时间我住在伦敦，那时候我的生活就像是在赛跑,，时刻保持着好奇和兴奋，生活充满新鲜活力。当然我现在也是，都是佛教修行带给我的改变。

My exams were coming upon me and for my one of my exams I had to paint and draw. I was in the sculpture exam, so I went every weekend for about two months. And I would be in the other room painting, he set me up with an easel, and he was sort of teaching me and I would hear him in the other room Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo...

有一次修行考试临近，其中一科是画画，我参加的是雕塑考试，所以连续两个月的周末我都在准备。当时我在画室，大师帮我搭好画架，他教完我后就去了隔壁教室。我听见他在念经，南无阿弥陀佛......

And one day I just walked into the other room and I said so, what are you doing? And he said, well I am chanting that you are going to be very successful in your exams, and that you are going to have a very successful life. And I said” Well will it help?” And he said” Yeah”, and I said”great”. So I got down on my knees, and I begun to chant.

有一天我就走进去房间问他在做什么，他说我在诵经祈祷你考试顺利，拥有一个成功的人生。我就问“真的有用吗？”他说“当然了”。我就回答“那真的太棒了”。我就跪下来也开始诵经。

And that was my first encounter with the practice. And I then, used my daimoku, I was going through this exam. I had a-15-hour oil painting exam. I remember painting a whale bone and a lemon and I would look at this whale bone and lemons, and I had these oil paints and I’d be painting it, and I’d be like at one point I would look at it and go what I am doing?

这也是我的第一次尝试，然后我一边念经，一边继续完成我的考试。我还有个长达15个小时的油画考试，我记得画的是一块鲸鱼的骨头和一个柠檬。我看了看鲸鱼骨和柠檬，又低头看了看那些颜料，可我又必须得画，我就一瞬间，脑海里闪过一句话“我到底在干嘛啊？”

I’d nip to the toilet with my beads, sitting there, bash my beads and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Come back to the painting below, okay, carry on with it. Needless to say I got, you know, actually I got one of the highest grades and they asked if they could keep my work, because they wanted to keep it as an example of the highest grade for the next year, and I was like wow!

我攥着佛珠就去了厕所，然后坐着发呆。一边转佛珠，一边诵念南无妙法莲花经，然后我就又回来继续坚持画完了。当然了，我取得了很好的成绩。他们问我是否愿意将自己的画作留下，因为他们想将这幅高分画作作为第二年的样例，我超级兴奋！

So there was actual proof for me, and I thought about, you know, how I sort of saw my life, and how throughout these years of really unusual circumstances of being a young actor who was really notable and was really thrust into public eye without the tools to know how to cope often, and how grateful I was for the practice to. I’ve been and anchor for me through those years, and through that period.

这就是实实在在的证明。我就反思到底该如何看待自己的生活，回顾这些年成为知名年轻演员后的种种神奇的经历，活在大众的目光下完全不知道该怎么去面对这种生活。我很感恩这些年的修行，帮助我自我定位，带我熬过那段日子。

And at the same time, grateful and realised in that moment, and I think as many of the moments of our encounters sort of did, sort of slowly, settle. That it was about, it was about authenticity. It was a really an encouraging moment of embrace your own authenticity, and I never forget that. And I recall that Sensei, was encouraging me to take the challenge everyday, to win. And life is an eternal battle for our success and victory.

与此同时，我也心存感激，我突然意识到人生出现的各种烦恼最终都会慢慢褪去。重点就在于保持真我，欣然拥有真实的自己，这是启迪心灵的瞬间令我终身难忘。每每回忆起大师所言，我都更有力量面对每一天的挑战，战胜困难，人生就是一场取得成功的恒久搏斗。

I recognise more than ever the importance of starting that engine every morning with daimoku, embracing the day with the optimism and possibility that daimoku gives me. That feeling of anything is possible and total victory is, the goal. It’s about being yourself and the best version, the most authentic version of yourself.

我深深感受到每天清晨诵经念佛激发无限能量，开启美好的一天。充满期待，积极拥抱每一天都是诵经念佛带给我的启思。相信万物皆有可能，终极胜利才是目标。修行的过程就是成为自己，成为最好最优秀，也最真实的自己。
