洽美仁波切的問答:

發生騷亂時該怎麼辦,我應該報警嗎? 

我們的問題往往是,當事情正在發生時,尤其是如此大的事情,我們總是被正在發生的東西所牽動,而忘記了我們正在做著什麼,和被一種想法糾纏。報警可能是被認為最合理要做的事情,但這之後又怎樣?你還仍然會繼續糾纏在事情不應該是這樣子的一種想法,並且只會不斷深化,我們應該做的是轉心四思惟:人身難得,生命無常,因果業報,輪回過患。這樣,我們可以得到不一樣的看法,能正面積極並繼續我們的精神道路。

What to do when there are riots, should I call the police? 

The problem with people is that when there is something going on, especially this big, we always tend to be drawn to what’s happening and forget what we are doing and get sucked into a different mindset. Calling the police might be the most common sense thing to do but what then? Your mindset still continues where it’s not supposed to be and only grows, what we should do is to reflect on the Four Thoughts, Precious Human Body, Impermanence, Karma and The Sufferings of Samsara. From this we can get a different perspective, create positiveness and continue with our spiritual path.
