修 行
峨山禅师是白隐禅师晚年的高足，年老的时候，有一次在庭院里整理自己的被单，信徒看到后觉得很奇怪。
信徒问：“您有这么多弟子，这些杂事为什么要您亲自整理呢？”
峨山禅师道：“老年人不做杂事，那要做什么呢？”
信徒说道：“老年人可以修行啊！”
峨山禅师非常不满意，反问道：“你以为处理杂务就不是修行吗？那佛陀为弟子穿针、为弟子煎药，又算什么呢？”
信徒因而了解到了生活中的禅。
一般人对于修行的最大误解，就是把修行与做事分开来看，这是概念的误区。其实，无论是修行，还是任何其他的事情，如果不能够运用于日常行为中，那就不是最好的，管理的理论也是如此。
Padipata
E Shan Chan Master is a brilliant student of Bai Yin Chan Master. One day, a follower found that E Shan Chan Master was sorting his bed cloth in the yard by himself.
Follower asked:” You have so many students, why you have to do this sundry?”
E Shan Chan Master said:” what should senior citizens do, if not doing the sundry?”
Follower said:” you could Padipata.”
E Shan Chan Master was not happy about his opinion, and asked a rhetorical question:” So you think doing sundry is not Padipata? Then why the Buddha helped his student thread a needle? Why the Buddha made the medicine for his students? “
Then the follower understood the Zen of life.
Dear readers, there is a big misunderstanding of Padipata among normal people. We would think that Padipata is different from routines. Actually, no matter Padipata or routines, if we could not apply it to our daily lives, then it’s nothing for us, so do the management skills.
