Osifu Has No Time to Waste
December 6, 2011

It has been very busy lately. Both the visible and the invisible are quite busy.

The visible is adjusting, and so is the invisible. The invisible is adjusting much faster.

The visible is pushed forward by the invisible.

Yang is adjusting, and so is Yin. Yin is adjusting much faster.

Yang is pushed forward by Yin.

Osifu is very busy, and has always been very busy.

Osifu always wants to squeeze in time to give you teachings. But it's really too busy.

Too many matters in both the visible and invisible world need Osifu to devote time and energy.

Osifu's time and energy is limited. After all, Osifu also has only 24 hours in a day.

When waiting for the traffic lights, Osifu feels it's quite a waste of time because time is too precious.

When having dinner, Osifu feels it's quite a waste of time because time is too valuable.

When sleeping, Osifu feels it's quite a waste of time because time is too priceless.

Osifu has no time for social engagement.

Osifu has no time to go shopping.

Osifu has no time for small talk.

Osifu has no time for enjoyment.

Osifu has no time to waste.

Osifu has no time to live life like an earthling.

Osifu always perceives the flow of time clearly.

Osifu always realizes the tide of years clearly.

Osiful is always counting down because Osifu's time in this life is limited.

Osifu clearly knows that the available time in this life which can be devoted to sentient beings is not much.

Osifu often tells you: Cultivation is like a boat sailing against the current. Not to advance is to go backward.

If you are able to be aware of the flow of time clearly, you'll not dare to waste one minute, or even one second, because one minute or one second is a part of your life.

Wasting time is the same as consuming your life.

It's like a boat sailing on water. Water is always flowing whether you go or not.

We know life is the most precious thing in the world. However, it is hardly realized that life is just composed of every minute and every second.

Osifu often tells you: We must make full use of every minute and every second in mind cultivation, practice, and discipline.

Osifu often tells you: We are racing against time.

Osifu often tells you: We are racing against disasters.

Osifu often tells you: We are racing against death.

If you don't believe, just look at yourself and those around you, and comprehend by heart.

Your family members have left you, one by one. Haven't you realized that?

Wrinkles are climbing on your whole face, one by one. Haven't you realized that?

White hairs are replacing your black hairs, one by one. Haven't you realized that?

Your energy has been watered down, little by little. Haven't you realized that?

Your eyes are losing luster, bit by bit. Haven't you realized that?

Your body is losing strength, little by little. Haven't you realized that?

As some people have said, "Man is headed toward the grave as soon as he is born."

It sounds uncomfortable, but it is full of philosophical wisdom.

We should be always alert.

Cherish every minute and every second in life and spend them on the most valuable and significant things.

It's up to you.

However, it's so pitiful, regretful and mortifying, because too many people spend time on meaningless and worthless things. Some people even spend large amounts of time committing evils.

Some people spend a great deal of time on slaughtering and eating the meat of sentient beings. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a lot of time coveting and stealing. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time on illusory mind and false behaviors. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time gossiping and speaking harshly. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time speaking carelessly and telling lies. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time on anger and jealousy. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time feeding ignorance and deluded attachment. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time trying to become famous and chasing wealth. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time on wine, women, avarice, and pride. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

Some people spend a great deal of time on the five desires and the six external objects. Numerous evils have been created, and as a result they are led to downfall and degeneration.

What a great pity!

May you wish to race against time --- to chant the name of Buddha with a pure mind!

Osifu blesses you all the time!

Amitabha!
