空無一物的襪子 / 收信人不明的卡片
聖誕老人是否相信聖誕節？

　　全世界最棒的工作，應該就是聖誕老人吧？只要在聖誕夜當晚上班，其他時間就躲在北極的小冰屋裡面讀信、看書，沒事就騎著馴鹿去打獵，生活好不愜意？不過，送了那麼久的禮物，聖誕老人卻始終有一個缺憾：「我很乖，但為什麼我從未收過一件禮物？」

　　趁著值勤前的空檔，他向賣火柴的小女孩借了火柴盒，站在冰天雪地之中劃下火柴許願，偷偷對著天空說：「請給我一個聖誕禮物吧！」

　　但……什麼也沒有發生？

　　那一天夜裡，在天堂的日本作家「太宰治」先生遇見一顆來自北極的流星，流星把聖誕老人的心事告訴了他。太宰先生心想，要是聖誕老人太傷心，結果決定辭職或罷工，那全世界的好孩子們豈不慘了？

　　於是太宰治先生從回憶裡拿出了一篇叫〈Merry Christmas〉的小說，還順道邀請了來自台灣和香港的創作人好友們，要大家寫出最好的故事、圖畫、照片和小詩，來送給這位最老的好孩子，一起給聖誕老人一個最棒的驚喜！

　　大家的禮物都準備好了，但少了你的那一份，所以還不能寄出去。書裡藏了一張明信片，趕快寫上給聖誕老人的祝福，和我們一起把禮物送出去吧！

親愛的聖誕老人：

　　您是一個好孩子，我們準備了一個禮物要給您，請笑納。

　　聖誕快樂！

　　p.s.請不要罷工，謝謝，我們的床頭都掛好襪子了，等你喔。

More than two thousand five hundred years ago, the Buddha attained enlightenment. Teaching the Dharma for forty-nine years in the world, he listened to countless afflictions of sentient beings, told innumerable stories, and applied infinite analogies and metaphors, all in the hope that everyone would have the causes and conditions to listen to the Dharma and be transformed.

Master Cheng Yen has made a vow to spread the Buddha-Dharma and benefit all sentient beings. For decades, she has led Tzu Chi volunteers to walk the Bodhisattva-path joyfully, without regret. Over the years, Master Cheng Yen has gathered many stories from the Buddhist sutras as well as from real life. Based on the conditions and people’s capabilities, she kindly guides everyone with these stories. Each story provides teachings that illustrate the principles taught by the Buddha.

The various forms of suffering, afflictions, and joys experienced by sentient beings are all created by the mind. Thus, we must safeguard our minds at all times. We can give rise to a thought of kindness within the span of a second; if we can seize it and mindfully put it into practice, it can influence our entire lives. By upholding such kind thoughts, we can prevent ourselves from going astray on our path in life.

This book gathers many stories told by Master Cheng Yen that describe situations we may encounter in our daily life. In addition to spreading the Buddha-Dharma in the form of literature, these stories are also examples showing us how we can polish the most precious mirror of our minds so that we can all return to our pure intrinsic nature.
