命运。谭朔和明云是师生们都很羡慕的一对年轻夫妻。他们是读研究生时的同学，毕业后都从事教育工作，都教哲学。他们发奋读万卷书，也力争行万里路，或者是在寒假，或者是在暑假，总是尽力抽时间去游历祖国的名山大川。有一次寒假，他们到了一座坐落名山深处的古刹人称白印寺庙。这座古刹因为白印禅师的德高学博而远近闻名，香火极旺。在古刹的庭院中还矗立着白印禅师的全身塑像，可见人们对白印禅师的崇敬。他们带着心中的疑问，拜访了白印禅师。人生感悟他们向白印禅师请教：您说真的有命运吗？有的。白印禅师明确地回答。那我们的命运在哪里？他们又问。白印禅师按着男左女右的规矩，请谭朔伸出了左手，请明云伸出了右手，然后说：你们看清楚手掌中的这几条线了吗？这几条线的名字你们一定知道吧？谭朔和明云回答：看得很清楚。这条线叫做生命线，那条斜线叫做爱情线，另外一条就是事业线。白印禅师说：很对！生命,爱情和事业这三条线，基本上就可以代表一个人的命运了；你们这一男一女，又可以代表许许多多的男男女女。接着，让他们跟着自己做一个动作：把张开的手慢慢地握起来，握得紧紧的。白印禅师问：你们说生命,爱情和事业这三条线在哪里？谭朔和明云毫不疑惑地说：当然在我们的手里啊！白印禅师问：那命运呢？妙！心有灵犀一点通。谭朔和明云喜出望外，不能不佩服白印禅师的睿智。每个人的命运都掌握在自己的手里，而不是在别人的嘴里。他们将这次拜访的经历写进了教案，成了后来讲哲学课时生动而深刻的事例。转眼到了暑假，谭朔和明云又踏上了拜访白印禅师的旅途。他们还要向白印禅师请教：生命,爱情和事业这手掌中的三条线是不是可以改变的？这是他们在教学中遇到的一个较难讲透彻的问题。www.rensheng5.com他们刚刚踏进古刹的庭院，就看到一名禅师正在白印禅师的塑像前虔诚地求拜。他们走近仔细观察再三，不禁大吃一惊，求拜者竟和白印禅师长得一模一样。他们疑惑地问求拜者：您是不是白印禅师的孪生兄弟？不是。我没有孪生兄弟，我就是白印。求拜者头也没抬地答道。那您为何自己求拜自己？白印禅师笑道：因为我也遇到了难事。可我知道，求人不如求自己。妙！心有灵犀一点通。谭朔和明云心领神会，不能不佩服白印禅师的自信。看来，凡人之所以为凡人，可能就是因为遇事喜欢求人；而白印之所以为白印，大概就是因为遇事懂得求己。悟：如果人人都能像白印禅师那样对待命运，也许人人都会成为自己命运的主人！从来就没有什么救世主，要创造人类的幸福，全靠我们自己！
