《狀元們都會選這一科 Top scorers all choose this subject นักเรียนคะแนนสูงสุดทุกคนเลือกสาขานี้ *Các thủ khoa đều chọn ngành này》
今天是香港大學聯招放榜日。
大家猜猜狀元們、榜眼們、尖子們都會選什麼科？
猜都不用猜！當然是醫科！😂
這個世界呢，是沒有自由意志這回事的
我們所有的選擇，都是受無數個條件所組合而成的
雖然 陳家亮 教授已經在2026.7.20日摘文說七個不要讀醫科的理由
但相信許多人仍不會聽得入耳
他們仍覺得讀醫科會帶來優越感、未來病人會感激自己、會有高薪、穩定的職業
他們的長輩仍然會洗他們腦，讓他們覺得做醫生好
過去在追的醫生劇集已經洗腦讓他們覺得做醫生很型、很神聖
師兄師姐們在IG Post 的白袍照，讓他們覺得讀醫很威
高分的同學全部都選讀醫科
種種條件聚合在一起時，當他們考夠了分，就必定會選讀醫科
哎！😂
假如---只是假如---條件轉一轉：
讀工程科會帶來優越感、顧客會很感激自己、會有高薪、穩定的職業
長輩們會洗他們腦，讓他們覺得做工程師好
過去有專門說工程師劇集已經洗腦讓他們覺得做工程師很型、很神聖
師兄師姐們在IG Post炫耀 工程師的工作服，讓他們覺得讀工程系很威
高分的同學全部都選讀工程系
尖子們又會怎樣選呢？
這個‘選擇’、‘意志’根本就不是我們的。它只是由眾多條件所組合而成的結果而已
然而，有這樣的因，就有這樣的果。
如果我們不努力、不運用智慧，就一定不會成功
如果我們肯努力、運用智慧，就可能成功
假如我們能洞察到這個事實，把所有過去、現在、未來的一切選擇放下，我們就不再會有後悔的情緒，也不會有壓力；但同時卻會保持積極

Today is the Hong Kong university JUPAS results release day.
Guess what the top scorers, second-place finishers and elite students will all choose?
No need to guess! Of course it’s Medicine! 😂
In this world, there is no such thing as free will.
All of our choices are the product of countless conditions coming together.
Although Professor Francis Chan already published an article on 20 July 2026 listing seven reasons not to study medicine, many people still won’t take it to heart.
They still believe that studying medicine brings a sense of superiority, that future patients will be grateful to them, that it means high salary and a stable career.
Their elders continue to brainwash them into thinking being a doctor is good.
The medical dramas they used to chase have already brainwashed them into thinking doctors are cool and sacred.
Senior students posting photos in white coats on Instagram make them feel that studying medicine is prestigious.
All the high-scoring classmates choose medicine.
When all these conditions converge, once they score high enough, they will inevitably choose medicine.
Sigh! 😂
Suppose — just suppose — the conditions were flipped:
Studying engineering brings a sense of superiority, clients will be very grateful, it means high salary and a stable career.
Elders brainwash them into thinking being an engineer is good.
There used to be dramas specially about engineers that brainwashed them into thinking engineers are cool and sacred.
Seniors post photos on Instagram showing off engineers’ work clothes, making them feel that studying engineering is prestigious.
All the high-scoring classmates choose engineering.
What would the top students choose then?
This “choice”, this “will” is not really ours at all. It is merely the result formed by the combination of many conditions.
Yet, such causes lead to such effects.
If we do not work hard and do not use wisdom, we will certainly not succeed.
If we are willing to work hard and use wisdom, we may succeed.
If we can see through this fact and let go of all past, present and future choices, we will no longer feel regret or pressure; yet at the same time we will remain positive and proactive.

วันนี้เป็นวันประกาศผลรับตรงมหาวิทยาลัยฮ่องกง (JUPAS)
ทุกคนเดาสิว่านักเรียนอันดับหนึ่ง อันดับสอง และนักเรียนเก่งๆ จะเลือกสาขาอะไร?
ไม่ต้องเดาเลย! แน่นอนว่าเป็นแพทยศาสตร์! 😂
ในโลกนี้ไม่มีสิ่งที่เรียกว่าเจตจำนงเสรี
การเลือกทั้งหมดของเราเกิดจากเงื่อนไขนับไม่ถ้วนที่รวมกันขึ้นมา
แม้ว่าศาสตราจารย์ เฉิน เจียเหลียง จะเขียนบทความเมื่อวันที่ 20 กรกฎาคม 2026 ระบุเหตุผล 7 ข้อที่ไม่ควรเรียนแพทยศาสตร์
แต่เชื่อว่าหลายคนยังไม่ยอมรับฟัง
พวกเขายังรู้สึกว่าเรียนแพทยศาสตร์จะนำมาซึ่งความรู้สึกเหนือกว่า คนไข้ในอนาคตจะขอบคุณตน ได้เงินเดือนสูง และอาชีพที่มั่นคง
ผู้ใหญ่ยังคงล้างสมองให้พวกเขารู้สึกว่าเป็นหมอดี
ละครหมอที่เคยติดตามก็ล้างสมองให้พวกเขารู้สึกว่าเป็นหมอเท่และศักดิ์สิทธิ์
รุ่นพี่โพสต์รูปเสื้อกาวน์ขาวใน IG ทำให้พวกเขารู้สึกว่าเรียนหมอดูเท่
เพื่อนๆ ที่คะแนนสูงทุกคนเลือกเรียนแพทยศาสตร์
เมื่อเงื่อนไขต่างๆ รวมกัน เมื่อพวกเขาได้คะแนนพอ ก็จะเลือกเรียนแพทยศาสตร์อย่างแน่นอน
อ๊ะ! 😂
สมมติ — แค่สมมติ — ว่าเงื่อนไขพลิกกลับ:
เรียนวิศวกรรมศาสตร์จะนำมาซึ่งความรู้สึกเหนือกว่า ลูกค้าจะขอบคุณมาก ได้เงินเดือนสูง และอาชีพที่มั่นคง
ผู้ใหญ่ล้างสมองให้พวกเขารู้สึกว่าเป็นวิศวกรดี
เคยมีละครเกี่ยวกับวิศวกรโดยเฉพาะที่ล้างสมองให้พวกเขารู้สึกว่าวิศวกรเท่และศักดิ์สิทธิ์
รุ่นพี่โพสต์รูปชุดทำงานวิศวกรใน IG ทำให้พวกเขารู้สึกว่าเรียนวิศวกรรมดูเท่
เพื่อนๆ ที่คะแนนสูงทุกคนเลือกเรียนวิศวกรรมศาสตร์
แล้วนักเรียนเก่งๆ จะเลือกอย่างไร?
“การเลือก” และ “เจตจำนง” นี้ไม่ได้เป็นของเราเลย มันเป็นเพียงผลลัพธ์ที่เกิดจากการรวมกันของเงื่อนไขมากมายเท่านั้น
อย่างไรก็ตาม เมื่อมีเหตุเช่นนี้ ก็จะมีผลเช่นนั้น
หากเราไม่พยายามและไม่ใช้ปัญญา เราก็จะไม่ประสบความสำเร็จอย่างแน่นอน
หากเรายินดีพยายามและใช้ปัญญา เราก็อาจประสบความสำเร็จได้
หากเราสามารถมองทะลุความจริงนี้ และวางการเลือกทั้งหมดในอดีต ปัจจุบัน และอนาคตลงได้ เราจะไม่มีความรู้สึกเสียใจหรือความกดดันอีกต่อไป แต่ในขณะเดียวกันก็ยังคงรักษาทัศนคติที่กระตือรือร้นไว้ได้

Hôm nay là ngày công bố kết quả tuyển sinh đại học Hong Kong (JUPAS).
Mọi người đoán xem các thủ khoa, á khoa và các học sinh xuất sắc sẽ chọn ngành gì?
Không cần đoán! Tất nhiên là Y khoa! 😂
Trên đời này không có chuyện ý chí tự do.
Tất cả sự lựa chọn của chúng ta đều là kết quả của vô số điều kiện kết hợp lại.
Dù Giáo sư Chan Ka Leung đã viết bài vào ngày 20/7/2026 nêu bảy lý do không nên học Y khoa,
nhưng tin rằng nhiều người vẫn không chịu nghe.
Họ vẫn cảm thấy học Y khoa sẽ mang lại cảm giác ưu việt, bệnh nhân tương lai sẽ biết ơn mình, sẽ có lương cao và nghề nghiệp ổn định.
Người lớn vẫn tiếp tục tẩy não họ, khiến họ nghĩ làm bác sĩ là tốt.
Những bộ phim về bác sĩ từng theo dõi đã tẩy não khiến họ nghĩ làm bác sĩ rất ngầu, rất thiêng liêng.
Các anh chị khóa trên đăng ảnh áo blouse trắng trên IG khiến họ thấy học Y rất oai.
Tất cả bạn bè điểm cao đều chọn học Y khoa.
Khi mọi điều kiện hội tụ, một khi họ đủ điểm, chắc chắn sẽ chọn học Y khoa.
Ôi! 😂
Giả sử — chỉ là giả sử — điều kiện đảo ngược:
Học kỹ thuật sẽ mang lại cảm giác ưu việt, khách hàng sẽ rất biết ơn, sẽ có lương cao và nghề nghiệp ổn định.
Người lớn tẩy não họ khiến họ nghĩ làm kỹ sư là tốt.
Trước đây có những bộ phim chuyên về kỹ sư đã tẩy não khiến họ nghĩ kỹ sư rất ngầu, rất thiêng liêng.
Anh chị khóa trên đăng ảnh đồng phục kỹ sư trên IG khiến họ thấy học kỹ thuật rất oai.
Tất cả bạn bè điểm cao đều chọn học kỹ thuật.
Vậy các học sinh xuất sắc sẽ chọn như thế nào?
Sự “lựa chọn”, “ý chí” này hoàn toàn không phải của chúng ta. Nó chỉ là kết quả được hình thành từ sự kết hợp của nhiều điều kiện mà thôi.
Tuy nhiên, có nhân như vậy thì sẽ có quả như vậy.
Nếu chúng ta không nỗ lực, không dùng trí tuệ thì chắc chắn sẽ không thành công.
Nếu chúng ta chịu nỗ lực và dùng trí tuệ thì có thể thành công.
Nếu chúng ta có thể nhìn thấu sự thật này, buông bỏ mọi sự lựa chọn trong quá khứ, hiện tại và tương lai, chúng ta sẽ không còn cảm giác hối tiếc hay áp lực; nhưng đồng thời vẫn giữ được thái độ tích cực.
more about eliminating regret:
It's okay to do it. Maybe feel a sense of shame for half an hour just to remind yourself, "This is not what I should have done," but not for the whole of your life. For goodness sake, please let it go.
And anyway, just because he did a stupid act, why did you do that? Sometimes you can't really judge yourself—why ? that's beyond certainty. So because of that, please, please let it go.
And if you really want to understand why, you got Angulimala. He was—he really was—a serial killer. There must be something about Buddhist meditators or serial killers. Okay, I don't know what crime you've done—probably hardly anything at all. But anyway, whatever it was, just don't do it again." That's all. Shame does not help.
Shame—you never feel good enough. You don't feel worth it. I know when people have addictions to drugs or to pornography or to alcohol, whatever that addiction is, they feel they're just hopeless, that they were just a defective human being, so they don't belong anywhere. And so they don't even think they should—you know—they deserve to be forgiven. But of course, everyone does.
And Angulimala killed so many human beings. He really was a murderer. When the Buddha saw him, the Buddha said, "Stop. Stop worrying about that past. Where'd it go? Stop living in the past. Stop worrying about the future. Stop. Be still." He became an enlightened being.
..I don't know what crimes you have done and you feel guilt and shame about that. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as Angulimala. And the Buddha allowed Angulimala to become a monk. He allowed him to— not allowed him—but Angulimala became an enlightened being. So there's no barriers for whoever said this, that he did a crime a few times years back. As years back, it's passed. Let it go.

做就做了，沒關係。也許感到半小時的羞愧，只為提醒自己：「這不是我該做的」，但不要困住一生。看在老天的份上，請放下吧。
再說，就算他做了蠢事，你為何要那樣？有時你真的無法評判自己——為何？那超出確定的範圍。正因如此，請你務必放下。
若你真想理解原因，看看央掘摩羅。他是——他確實曾是——一個連環殺手。這個佛教禪修者與連環殺手之間，有著某種關聯。他說：「你做了，你知道的。」我說：「好，我不知道你犯了什麼罪——大概根本沒什麼大不了。但無論如何，無論那是什麼，別再做就好。」就這樣。羞愧並無幫助。
羞愧——你永遠覺得不夠好。你感覺自己不值得。我知道，當人們對毒品、色情或酒精上癮，無論是什麼癮，他們只覺得絕望，覺得自己是缺陷品，所以無處歸屬。因此，他們甚至不認為自己該——你知道的——值得被原諒。但當然，每個人都值得。
而央掘摩羅殺了那麼多人。他確實是個兇手。當佛陀看見他時，佛陀說：「停。別再擔憂過去。過去去哪了？別再活在過去。別再擔憂未來。停。靜下來。」他成了一位覺者。
……我不知道你犯了什麼罪，為此感到內疚與羞愧。我確信那不會比央掘摩羅更糟。而佛陀允許央掘摩羅成為比丘。他允許他——不，不只是允許——央掘摩羅成了一位覺者。所以，對任何曾說「他幾年前犯過幾次罪」的人而言，都沒有障礙。既是多年前的事，就已經過去。放下吧。

<<後悔>>
我們每個人都做過蠢事、錯事， 對嗎？
誰說沒有？ 不要騙大家(笑)
由貪嗔癡所驅動的思想、說話與行為， 就是蠢事。
有時當一個人修行不斷提升的時候， 就會發現自己過去是多麼的愚蠢啊。
例如 Luang por thongpoon 修行到一定程度， 便發現這個身體是多麼的骯髒啊， 為什麼自己的心之前那麼蠢，會去執著這個身體呢？
如果一個人成為阿羅漢的話，雖然他過去做過蠢事， 但不會再後悔， 因為後悔也是屬於煩惱的一種
但不是我們。
每當我們想起過去的錯事 ，都會覺得很羞愧、很後悔。
當我們後悔的時候， 心好受嗎？
當然不好受。 所以當我們後悔的時候我們是愚蠢的
但我們還是不斷去想想想， 想過不停， 這就非常愚蠢了
其實不用後悔。
我們想的每個念頭、說的每句話、做的每件事， 其實都是由條件組合的。
不由我們去選擇。
就如 Ajahn suchart 所說，無論發生什麼事，無論什麼情況導致你去做事情，這都被認為是法(大自然)提供給你，讓你去做事情。這不是你自己的意志，不是你自己的願望，而是法、環境，是主動將事情帶給你的。
當我們遇到這系列的條件的時候， 我們就必定會這樣做。
假如任何人有齊您所有的條件的時候， 他們也必定會這樣想、這樣說、這樣做。
這是大自然的事， 不是任何人的事， 不是您的事。
這個世界只有因和果而已， “您” 並沒有牽涉在其中
所以不用後悔， 因為“您” 並不存在，所謂的“您”只是由條件組合而成而已
"Regret"
Each of us has done foolish things and made mistakes, right? Who says otherwise? Don’t fool us (laugh). Thoughts, words, and actions driven by greed, hatred, and delusion are foolishness.
Sometimes, as a person practices and improves, they realize just how foolish they were in the past.
For example, when Luang Por Thongpoon reached a certain level of practice, he discovered how dirty this body really is. Why was his heart so foolish before, clinging to this body?
If a person becomes an arahant, although they have done foolish things in the past, they will not regret it because regret is also a form of defilement. But that’s not us. Whenever we remember our past mistakes, we feel ashamed and regretful.
When we regret, does our mind feel good? Of course not. So when we regret, we are being foolish. Yet we keep thinking and thinking, endlessly thinking of the past, and that is very foolish.
In fact, there’s no need to regret. Every thought we have, every word we speak, every action we take is actually a combination of conditions. We do not have the right to choose.
As Ajahn Suchart said, no matter what happens, or what circumstances lead you to act, it is considered the Dhamma (nature) providing you the conditions to act. It is not your own will or desire; it is the law and the environment that actively brings these things to you.
When we encounter these series of conditions, we must act accordingly. If anyone had all the same conditions as you, they would also think, say, and do the same.
This is a matter of nature, not of any individual, and it is not your matter. This world consists only of causes and effects; "you" are not involved in it.
Therefore, there is no need to regret because "you" do not exist; the so-called "you" is merely a combination of conditions.
被隆波甘哈派遣來香港弘法的阿贊耀曾經被一位信徒問起
227條比丘戒那麼多，他花了多長時間學、掌握？
他大概說，很難回答，因為掌握戒律是不斷犯錯破戒，然後從中改過的過程
想必我們如果出家的話都會是如是，因為227條戒太多了
同樣地，人生那麼多遭遇、那麼長，我們每個人難免都曾犯過錯，傷害過自己、傷害過別人，這是很正常的事情
所以我們應當原諒自己。
從錯誤中學習，決意未來不要犯即可;不用一直回想過去、一直後悔
無論我們過去犯過的錯有多嚴重，只要不是五逆重罪（惡意讓佛陀出血、殺阿羅漢、殺父、殺母、分裂和合的僧團），還未玩完。
只要任何人從現在開始到死時對三寶有不壞的信心，有清淨的五戒；他就被佛陀記說為入流者，已經永遠脫離於惡道，未來肯定會抵達涅槃 （AN5.179）
Ajahn Yiu, who was sent to Hong Kong by Luang Por Ganha to propagate the Dhamma, was once asked by a follower:
With 227 monastic precepts being so numerous, how long did it take him to learn and master them?
He roughly replied that it was difficult to answer because mastering the precepts is a continuous process of making mistakes, breaking the rules, and then correcting oneself.
Presumably, if we were to ordain, we would all experience the same, because 227 precepts are indeed too many.
Similarly, life is filled with so many experiences and is so long that each of us inevitably makes mistakes, hurting ourselves or others. This is a very normal part of life.
Therefore, we should forgive ourselves.
We should learn from our mistakes and resolve not to repeat them in the future; there’s no need to constantly dwell on the past or regret it endlessly.
No matter how serious the mistakes we have made in the past, as long as they are not the five heinous crimes (maliciously causing the Buddha to bleed, killing an Arahant, killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, or causing schism in a harmonious Sangha), it’s not the end.
As long as anyone, from now until death, maintains unwavering faith in the Triple Gem and upholds the pure five precepts, the Buddha declared that person to be a stream-enterer, one who has permanently escaped the lower realms and will certainly attain nibanna in the future (AN5.179).
"Nothing to Regret"
What if we've done something foolish in the past?
It doesn’t matter; the past is already gone. Why hold onto it and regret it?
Regret arises from wrong views, incorrect perceptions, and misguided thoughts.
So let's solve from the root.
The Buddha teaches us to view things this way: whether it’s the past, present, or future; all that constitutes our 'self' includes:
The physical body
feelings
perceptions
Will and volitions
Awareness
None of these actually belong to us; we are not them, and they do not constitute a real self—this is how we should perceive them (MN62).
If we think "it does not belong to me," we can stop regarding the so-called 'self' of the past as something we possesses, instantly lifting the burden.
"I am not this" is meant to counteract self-labeling and self-inflation. Once we adopt this mindset, we can no longer feel inferior because the past 'self' is no longer relevant to us.
"This is not a true self" is to combat the wrong view that mistakenly believes a 'self' truly exists.
Whether body or mind, they are constantly changing, uncontrollable, and cannot be maintained; there is fundamentally no unchanging self.
At this point, the mind immediately feels empty and relaxed; there is no more regret, right?
《沒有什麼好後悔》
如果在過去做了蠢事怎麼辦？
沒有怎麼辦，過去已經滅去了，還後悔抓著它來做什麼？
會後悔都是因為錯誤的見解，錯誤的認知，錯誤的思維
那就從根源著手
佛陀教導，應該這樣看，無論是過去，現在，未來；所有構成我們這個‘我’ 的
1. 物質身體
2. 感受
3. 認知記憶
4. 意志動機
5. 覺知
它們其實都不是屬於我們的，我們不是它們，它們不是一個實在的我---應該這樣去看待它們（MN62）
如果想‘它不是屬於我的’—就可以不再把過去的所謂‘自己’成為心的擁有物，立即沒了負擔
‘我不是這個’ –是為了對治自我標籤，自我膨脹。一旦這樣思維，就可以不再自卑了，因為過去的那個‘自己’已經不再和自己有關了
‘這不是一個實我’—這是為了對治錯誤的見解，誤以為真的有一個‘自我’存在。
無論是身還是心；他們不斷在轉變、無法掌控、不能被維持；根本就沒有一個不變的自我在。
這時心立即空起來了，輕鬆起來了；不再後悔了，對嗎？
🌸 **讓心保持清淨吧——**
過去雖已無法更改，
但今日、明日，只要勤修誦念禪定，
惡業便會逐漸減輕。
過往歲月裡，
善惡交雜，
來到今日，我們已明白何者為非，
便不再重蹈覆轍；
若能持續積累善行，
惡業與罪愆自會日漸消褪。
從前因無知而犯錯，
人人皆曾有過失、有正行；
一旦學習、覺悟了，
便當修正自身——
善德終將成為我們的珍寶。
🌸 **Keep the mind pure. Though the past has passed and cannot be changed,
today and tomorrow, diligently recite prayers and meditate—
bad kamma will gradually lighten.**
In the past,
both evil and good were mixed together.
Now that we have reached today, we know what is unwholesome,
so we do not do it again.
If we continually create goodness,
bad kamma and unwholesomeness
will diminish on their own.
Before, we did not know right from wrong,
acting out of ignorance.
Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does right.
Once we have learned,
we improve ourselves,
and virtuous qualities become our own.
