《不是为了快乐》内容简介
前行修持是一套完整的实修系统,它既是一切佛法修持的根基,又囊括了所有修持的精华,以及心灵之道上所需的一切;既适合入门者打造学佛基本功,也是修行人需要终生修持的心法。书中除了实际的方法指导之外,还不断启发佛法的珍贵与修持的必要,并处处可见对学佛者的鼓舞和纠正,其最终的用心,是让我们踏上不间断的修持之路,真正转化我们僵硬、散乱和困惑的心。
在现代人看来,快乐,理应是最值得追求的目标。我们希望生活舒适,渴望情感上的满足,而且把不快乐当作坏事,千方百计想要逃避它。然而,我们却常常失望地发现,种种抓取快乐的努力终究是一场徒劳,我们的快乐转瞬即逝,不被确保。
这是因为我们的心被习气所熏染,我们的期待无穷尽,所以恐惧无穷尽,我们的心念不清净,所以烦恼不止息。如果我们不稍稍改变旧习气,不调整对快乐的理解,那么是无法拥有真正的快乐的。
这部前行修持指引,是宗萨蒋扬钦哲仁波切首部实修指导,通过对每一修持步骤的详细解说,及其背后精义的透彻解读,慈悲地松动我们因僵硬而受苦的心,让它变得柔软而清明。

It's not for Pleasure
Forward practice is a complete system of practice, which is the foundation of all Dharma practice, and contains the essence of all practice and everything needed for the spiritual path. It is not only suitable for beginners to build the basic skills of learning Buddhism, but also the mind Fa that practitioners need to practice all their lives. In addition to practical methodological guidance, the book continues to enlighten the preciousness of the Dharma and the necessity of practice, and everywhere can be found to encourage and correct Buddha learners, whose ultimate intention is to set us on the path of continuous practice and truly transform our rigid, scattered and confused minds.
In the eyes of modern people, happiness should be the most worthwhile goal. We want to be comfortable, we crave emotional fulfillment, we see unhappiness as a bad thing, and we do everything we can to avoid it. However, we are often disappointed to find that our efforts to capture happiness are in vain, and our happiness is fleeting and not assured.
This is because our minds are infected with habits, our expectations are endless, so the fear is endless, our minds are not clear, so the troubles do not stop. If we don't change our old habits a little, if we don't adjust our understanding of happiness, then we can't have real happiness.
This forward practice guide, Dzongsajangyangkhyentse Rinpoche's first practical practice guide, through a detailed explanation of each practice step and a thorough interpretation of the essence behind it, compassionfully loosens our heart, which suffers from stiffness, and makes it soft and clear.
