一念天堂，一念地獄

一念光明就是佛，一念黑暗就是鬼。

这个心，一念的善，就造天堂的因；一念的恶，会结地狱的果。

升天堂，还是入地狱，这是个值得思考的问题。

宣化上人说："一念光明就是佛，一念黑暗就是鬼。你念念光明就时时都是佛，你念念黑暗 就时时都是鬼。所以佛与鬼的分别，就在这一念之间，一念佛，一念鬼；一念天堂，一念地 狱，所以这一念之中最要紧。"天堂与地狱只在一念之间，若念天堂，有爱便是天堂；若念 地狱，人间处处即炼狱!

一天，信重武士向白隐禅师请教："真有地狱和天堂吗"

"你是做什么的"白隐禅师问。

"我是一名武士。"信重武士答。

"你是一名武士"白隐禅师大声说，"哪个愚蠢主人会要你做他的保镖看你的那张脸简直 像一个讨饭的乞丐!"

"你说什么"信重武士热血上涌，伸手要抽腰间的宝剑，他哪受得了这样的讥嘲!

白隐禅师火上浇油："哦，你也有一把宝剑吗你的宝剑太钝了，砍不下我的脑袋。"

信重武士勃然大怒，"哐"地一声抽出了寒光闪闪的利剑，对准了白隐禅师的胸膛。

白隐禅师安然自若地注视着信重武士说："地狱之门由此打开!"

一瞬间信重武士恢复了理智，觉察到自己的冒失无礼，连忙收起宝剑，向白隐鞠躬道歉。

白隐禅师面带微笑地对信重武士说："天堂之门由此敞开!"

大乘佛法常说："是心作佛，是心是佛。"又说："是心是菩萨，是心作菩萨。"你想升天 堂入地狱是由你自心一念所造的，你心想升天堂，别人没法拖你下地狱；你要下地狱，别人 也无法硬拉你上天堂。

Notable quotes from Epictetus

Epictetus (Greek: Ἐπίκτητος; ca. 55–ca. 135) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was probably born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present day Pamukkale, Turkey), and lived in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he lived most of his life and died. His teachings were noted down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses. Philosophy, he taught, is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline.

- All external events are determined by fate, and are thus beyond our control, but we can accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately.
- Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power.
- Freedom is secured not by the fulfilling of one's desires, but by the removal of desire.
- Man is disturbed not by things, but by the views he takes of them.
- If, therefore, any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone.
- Permit nothing to cleave to you that is not your own; nothing to grow to you that may give you agony when it is torn away.

Wireless on MSI Wind(Ubuntu 8.10)

Luckily, the fix to that problem is pretty easy.

1. As Ubuntu doesn’t have a package of this driver yet, you’re gonna have to fetch it from Debian’s unstable repository. The package is right here, just click any mirror to download.
2. Debian isn’t providing a binary because of the driver’s license, that’s why you got the source code. Install the package by double-clicking on it and then press the install button or whatever you’re supposed to be pressing. Then pop up a terminal and type in sudo aptitude install debhelper module-assistant.
3. Let’s build a binary package of the driver. In the terminal you write sudo m-a a-i rt2860, and module-assistant will do the rest for you.
4. To get online without a reboot, do sudo modprobe rt2860sta next, and you should be able to connect to a network with Network Manager.
5. Let’s make sure the driver module will be loaded again when you’re eventually rebooting, or the next boot after having shut down the netbook. Open your terminal and do sudo gedit /etc/modules, and on the bottom you append a new line with rt2860sta. Then save, and the driver will be forced to load every time during startup.
