如何有智慧地禪修

在禪修的歷程中,當人們覺得舒適、喜悅、安靜時,不應該標記他們就是這樣,認為這必然是解脫或意味著已解脫。相反,最好的禪修方式是加以“內觀”或洞察或智慧,看到的是,它在平靜心識,它是安靜的,但我們不要因此分心,只要觀察,任運自然。

How to Meditate Wisely

During the experience of meditation, when one feels that it is comforting, blissing, peaceful, one shouldn’t label them as such and think that this must be liberation or what it means to be liberated. Instead, the best way to meditate is to add what is known as ‘vipassana’ or insight or wisdom, to see that yes, it is calming the mind, it is peaceful, but instead of getting carried away, we simply observe and then just let things be.

為什麼父母和朋友都是上師

作為一位修行者,特別是一個初學者,你必須要有一位上師。所有的人都會找到自己的上師。是的,你一定會找到一位,這只是時間的問題。但在這之前,其實你已經有自己的上師。你應該明白,我的意思是說,你的父母,你的朋友 – 除非他們都已離開你的世界,否則他們是你最偉大的知識來源。無論他們是佛教徒還是非佛教徒:不管他們是什麼傳統和宗教,他們就是知識的來源。

#Karmapa on Why Parents and Friends are Teachers

As a practitioner, particularly a beginner, you must have a teacher. All of you will find a teacher. Yes, you will find one. It is only a matter of time. But until then you already have teachers, you see. I mean to say, your parents, your friends – unless they have all left from your world they are the greatest source of knowledge. It doesn’t matter whether they are Buddhists or not Buddhists: they are a source of knowledge regardless of their tradition and religion.
