第十七世大寶法王嘉華噶瑪巴禪修指導
 
當我們呼吸時,如果我們說吸氣就是生命,那麼當我們吸氣時,我們就是這樣子。
 
當我們呼吸時,如果我們說呼氣就是死亡,那麼當我們呼氣時,我們就是這樣子。
 
但是,只因為呼氣就是死亡,並不等於我們應該停止呼氣。
 
這種恐懼本身是不自然的。
 
當我們呼氣並放下生命時,它又會回來。
 
死亡似乎是最終的,但正如深長的吸氣,就會有深長的呼氣一樣,別無其他。
 
呼與吸都是相互依存的。
 
它們一直都是。
 
因此,沒有永恆的東西。
 
我們自然的身心無需任何外在東西的介入,也會明瞭這一點。
 
這就是我們的英雄、醫生和護士,以及整個醫療機構,怎樣能夠照料所有病患者。
 
當然,他們有恐懼和驚慌,他們是神智清醒的。
 
但是,當他們找到一種接受現實的方式,即是接受變化時,他們的勇氣和愛能超越恐慌和恐懼,和他們只有一個焦點,就是克盡職守照顧任何發生在病患者身上的事情。
 
親愛的,請好好的呼吸。
 
呼吸。
 
毫無恐懼地呼吸。
 
你與我一同呼吸,我也與你一同呼吸。
 
 
Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, shares the following meditation:
 
As we breathe, if we say that inhaling is life, then as we inhale we are doing just that.
 
As we breathe, if we say that exhaling is death, then as we exhale we are doing just that.
 
But just because exhaling is death, it doesn’t mean that we should stop exhaling.
 
That act of panic itself would be unnatural.
 
As we breathe out and let go of life, it comes back.
 
Death might seem final, but just as there are long inhalations, there are long exhalations, and there is nothing else.
 
Both the aspects of breathing are interdependent.
 
They always were.
 
So there is nothing permanent.
 
Our natural body and mind knows this without any external input.
 
That’s how our heroes, the doctors and nurses, and the whole medical establishment, are able to care for all the patients.
 
 
But when they find a way to accept reality – which is change – their courage and their love take over their panic and fear, and with only one focus they go with the flow of what’s happening to the patients and do what they can.
 
Sure, they have fear and panic: they are sane.
 
But when they find a way to accept reality – which is change – their courage and their love take over their panic and fear, and with only one focus they go with the flow of what’s happening to the patients and do what they can.
 
So kindly breathe, my dear ones.
 
Breathe.
 
Breathe without fear.
 
You are breathing with me and I am breathing with you.
