玉環手Mudra of the Jade Bracelet

「若為男女及諸僕使者,當於玉環手。」

As explained in the text the practice of this mudra is designed to ensure the proper conduct of lovers and servants.

佛家相信,以玉環手,修敬愛法

敬愛的心情,將源源不絕,如泉湧生

是鬆緊得度的圓潤象徵

用雍容的節奏,優雅的心情

處事、待人、接物

宛如心中戴一只圓潤的玉環

Buddhists believe

That if one wears a jade bracelet and

Practices the way of reverence and affection,

Feelings of love and respect

Will flow forth undeterred

Like water gushing from a spring.

It is a symbol of perfect balance and mellow beauty

Tension and slack in perfect equilibrium.

With harmonious rhythm and in a gentle, placid mood,

You manage affairs, deal with people and tend to

what happens,

As if wearing a mellowly beautiful bracelet of jade in your heart.


【祝福】

玉,是種溫潤的象徵,中國古代只有貴族、讀書人、士君子才佩玉,用來惕勵自己隨時記得「溫潤之德」。玉環,則是圓滿、尊貴、權勢的象徵。

今天,玉環已成為中國人最愛的佩飾,大部分女子人手一只,據說好玉環是「活的」,不但可以隨身心狀態越來越溫潤美麗,還有不少玉環幫主人消厄擋災、甚至定情的傳說。但我們是否記得也幫自己的心中,戴上一只象徵溫潤、圓滿的玉環,隨時提醒自己厚道一點、溫柔一點、圓滿一點?

玉環手是種提醒,願我們行坐臥處,待人接物,念念慈悲。能如此,玉環手的敬愛法,自然內化進我們的生命深處,自然感召同樣的善念,得到他人的敬愛。
