透過每一刻散播慈悲的種子，我們就能毫無困難地克服各種困惑。運用善巧方法避免障礙，我們於美德路上安然的前進，因此在善用這寶貴而脆弱的人身。例如，在障礙中，通過專注我們內心真正渴望的，有助於我們克服任何苦難。
我們可以提醒自己，慈悲心的培養實在不需花很多力氣。行住坐臥也可長養慈悲心。運用以上的善巧方法，我們就可以好好利用有限的物質世界裡的每一刻。

By sowing seeds of compassion as each moment passes, we overcome various kinds of confusion without much struggle. By applying skilful means to avoid obstacles, we advance safely along the path of virtue, therefore making great use of this precious and fragile human existence. For example, in the midst of obstacles, by focusing on what we truly wish for, we help overcome whatever hardship is present.
We may remind ourselves that this cultivation of compassion can be achieved without much hard work. We can cultivate compassion while sitting, while walking, while sleeping. Applying these kinds of skilful means, we utilise every moment that can be spared within the limited physical world.

覺知的利益

修持覺知是佛陀教導我們的主要方法之一，我認為這是一個極奇妙及非常善巧的方法。沒有覺知，我們將無法知道我們昨天或前天所做的善行。然後，不知道怎麼的一回事，不知道如何區別，這會令事情變得越來越複雜困難。因此，隨著覺知的練習，能夠真正識別事物，並且能真正看清事物的本來面目。

Karmapa on the benefits of mindfulness

The practice of mindfulness is one of the main practices that was introduced by the Lord Buddha, and I think it is an amazing and very skilful method. Without it, we would not be able to keep track of the positive actions or accumulations we have made yesterday or the day before. And then not knowing what is what, not knowing how to differentiate, it really makes things more and more complicated. So therefore, with the practice of mindfulness, one will be able to actually identify what is what, and truly see things as they are.

噶瑪巴對「自我」的定義

我對「自我」的定義，就是執著於一些根本不存在的東西，意思是有違我們能放下從不存在的東西的本性 ，就像昨日的我，今日並不存在。

噶瑪巴

#Karmapa’s definition of ego:

My definition of ego would be holding on to something that is not there at all, meaning going against the nature of our mind – which is to let go of the things that do not exist – such as yesterday’s self, which doesn’t exist today.

Karmapa on how devotion grows.

Devotion grows by seeing the benefit.

That’s why we ourselves have to make sure that we carry forward the practice of being decent human beings for as long as possible. And if we do that, then when others see that, then this will be the benefit to help grow their devotion.

雖然慈悲的種子是我們所有人都固有的，為了在我們自己和身處的世界中長養慈悲心，我們首先需要一塊沃土，就是我們的家庭。這完全視乎我們，找出勇氣去培養慈悲，脫離執著，和無條件地愛護所有有情眾生。

噶瑪巴

While the seed of compassion is inherent within all of us, in order to cultivate compassion in ourselves and in the world around us, we first need a fertile soil – our family. It is up to all of us to find the courage to cultivate compassion, free of attachments, and seek unconditional care for all sentient beings.

噶瑪巴：和平是完全的覺知

和平就是完全的覺知。在覺知下，我們培養和融合慈悲與智慧。在覺知下，我們是生氣勃勃的、警覺的、對自己的行為負責任。在這種狀態下，我們不是由情緒所支配，而是控制著自己的情緒和行為。在這種狀態下，我們有耐性、非暴力、不作判斷。在這種狀態下，我們培養了我們內在財富和我們固有的特質，並以之與外在物質財富取得平衡來利益所有有情眾生，這便是和平。

噶瑪巴

Karmapa: Peace is Complete Awareness

Peace is complete awareness. In this state of awareness, we cultivate and combine compassion and wisdom. In this state of awareness, we are alive, awake, we take responsibility for our actions. In this state, we are not driven by emotion, we control our emotions and actions. In this state, we are patient, non-violent, we do not judge. In this state, we nurture our Inner Wealth – our innate values – and balance them with outer (material) wealth in a way that benefits all sentient beings. This is peace.

噶瑪巴- 保持健康的心識

非常簡單地我們可以透過檢視何謂健康以提高覺知，好像檢視什麼是良好的飮食，什麼能給予我們健康體魄的良好運動。同樣，我們問自己什麼是健康的心識，用諸佛菩薩給我們的正知正見，就能找到越來越多什麼可以令我們心識健康的正見。依據我們的能力來運用知識，漸漸地我們會變得更健康、壯健、堅強和更柔韌，最終我們便能克服一切困難。

噶瑪巴

#Karmapa – keeping a healthy mind

We very simply develop awareness by examining what is healthy, just like examining what is a good diet, a good fitness routine for our physical body. Just like that, we have to ask ourselves what is healthy for our mind, and then by using the knowledge that is given by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, then we can find out more and more what is healthy for our mind. And then gradually, by applying the knowledge according to our capacity, we become healthier, fitter, stronger and more flexible, and then we can overcome all difficulties.

噶瑪巴： 發願和迥向的重要性

當我們的發願和迥向有良好和穩定的進展時，我們累積的每一個行為、每一個念頭都會變得正面和成為一種修持。故此，無論我們行住坐臥，一切都變得喜樂，一切都變為功德。所以，懂得如何發願和迥向是非常重要。

噶瑪巴

#Karmapa on the importance of aspiration and dedication:

Once we have a very good and steady progression of aspiration and dedication, then every action, every thought that we accumulate becomes positive and becomes a practice. So then, whether we are walking, talking, sitting, or sleeping, everything becomes joyous, everything becomes meritorious. Therefore, it is very important to know how to make aspirations and dedicate.

May all sentient beings, may all of us be liberated from the extremes of samsara and nirvana, and find the absolute way which is the middle path. May all of us reach the enlightened state, and enjoy the timeless bliss that is born out of the combination of wisdom and compassion.

All of us should make such wishes, such aspirations and dedications that with our actions, speech and thoughts, we will be able to benefit all limitless beings. We have the very seed of bodhicitta within us, which will never be separate from us. Being close to these absolute friends, wisdom and compassion, we can fully reach the state of enlightenment.

噶瑪巴：

利益他人的想法是我們自然會產生的念頭。如果有好榜樣, 或有老師提醒我們這個本質，都是有幫助的。然而，它是天生固有的，所以我們很容易便會生起利益別人的念頭。

從實踐的角度來看，我們必須想到所有有情眾生，和從接近或親近我們的人開始。在某程度上，先專注於跟我們最親近的人是有幫助、實際、和更有效的。然後，繼續堅持不懈，努力保持這種心態，再延伸到對其他人便會變得更容易。我認為，其利益不僅是現在、不僅是這一刻，而是在生命中的任何時候都能帶來平靜與意義。

Karmapa:

The idea of wanting to benefit others is a quality that comes very naturally to us. It always helps to have an example, to have a teacher to remind us of this quality. However, it is innately there, so it is easy for us to relate to this idea.

In terms of a practical way of engaging with this, we have to think of all sentient beings, and it starts with all those that are near or close to us. In a way it is helpful, practical, and much more effective to begin like this, to focus on the nearest individuals. Afterwards, by continuing, persisting and putting effort into maintaining that attitude, engaging in supporting others becomes easier. I think that the benefit is not only for now, not only for the moment, but it brings peace and meaning in one’s life, and at all times.

面對困難有助我們成長

從菩薩的角度來看，我們現在所面對的困難，就是我們“偉大的老師”，就像如意寶珠一樣，因為它們幫助我們成長和進步。它們是“願望實現的挑戰”、“願望實現的老師”。我們面對的所有障礙 – 無論是在健康、身心方面，或是有關我們的收入，我們的生活 – 基本上是日常生活中的任何困難，挑戰或障礙 – 所有這一切，如果我們帶著正念面對他們，便可以幫助我們成長。

噶瑪巴

The difficulties we face can help us grow.

The difficulties that we face right now, from a Bodhisattva’s perspective, are what is known as ‘great teachers,’ like wish-fulfilling jewels, because they help us to grow and develop. They are ‘wish-fulfilling challenges,’ ‘wish-fulfilling teachers.’ All of the obstacles that we face – be it health-wise; with regard to our mental development; or concerning our income; our livelihood – well, basically any difficulties, challenges or obstacles concerning day-to-day life – all of it, if we can take it the right way, can really, really help us to grow.

當因缘和合必然成果，這是定律。如果這些條件不具足或不適當，例如沒有種子或種子是腐爛的，無論嘗試給它什麼有利的條件，比如陽光、水份或肥料，都不會起作用。

所以要有種子和具備必須的條件。當所有都具足時，事物便會生起，這都是無有錯漏，亦無可避免。這是宇宙最大的法則。

#Karmapa explains Karma:

When causes and conditions come together, then it produces a result. That is the mechanism. If those conditions are not met or not proper, for example if there is no seed, or if there is a rotten seed, no matter how much you try to bring in positive conditions, such as by trying to give sunlight, water or fertiliser, it will never work.

So there has to be a seed and also the proper conditions are required. When all the things are there, then it works, it is flawless, it is inevitable. In the whole of the universe, it is the greatest law.

作一個良好的榜樣

無論我們活到什麼階段，我們都有孩子的本性。當我們對孩子說「要睡覺了」，總是不行的。相反，孩子們主要通過觀察別人的言行舉止來學習。他們一直在觀察。故此，不管在生命中的哪一個階段，我們還有著這樣一種小孩的本性，要令別人改變，便當給他們一個好榜樣。讓他們習慣了，他們會想去模仿和仿效。所以，當我們希望一些事情或別人改變，我們必須要成為他們的好榜樣。

噶瑪巴

#Karmapa: Be a good example

We all have a child nature inside us, no matter what stage of life we are in. When we say to a child ‘go to sleep,’ of course it doesn’t work. Instead, children will learn actually mostly through watching what others do, how others walk, talk, behave and express. They are always watching. This is why, no matter where we are in life’s journey, since we still have this kind of child nature in us, all it takes for that person to change is for them to see a good example. And then the habit takes over and they want to mimic and imitate that. So if we wish for something or someone to change, we have to be a good example.

內在財富一詞是形容我們本來具足的慈悲與智慧。

慈悲和智慧好像是屬於精神上，與財富無關的東西。然而，我們太習慣將財富與物質東西聯繫起來，因此我們已經忽視了它與仁愛及其他非物質價值的關連。

噶瑪巴

Inner Wealth is a term used to describe your innate values of compassion and wisdom.

Compassion and wisdom might seem to belong to spirituality and have nothing to do with wealth. However, we are so used to connecting wealth to material resources that we have lost sight of its relevance for other things like loving kindness and other non-material values.

#Karmapa – what to do when you feel lost and confused

Whenever you feel a little bit confused and lost, always go back to the teachings, always go back to the practice.

依佛菩薩之修行路，是有方法和途徑讓我們專注於積累和致力於無限、無量、幾乎是無窮的利益。沒有別的，就是運用我們的「Changchub sem” (藏語）， 或「菩提心」（梵語），英文譯作「覺悟的心」或「發菩提心達致覺悟境界」。

噶瑪巴

According to the ways of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there is a method or a way where we can focus on accumulations and dedicate them, aiming them towards something that is timeless, towards something that is immeasurable, towards something that is almost unlimited in terms of its benefit. And that method would be none other than using or directing our mind towards what is known as ‘changchub sem’ in Tibetan or ‘bodhicitta’ in Sanskrit, the English translation of which is ‘enlightened mind’, or the generating of our own mind towards enlightened phenomena.

每天只需五分鐘

每天反思究竟我們真正在追求什麼，在怎樣的條件下以及用什麼方式追求，這樣的反思都是對自己很有裨益。無礙我們的生活，只需要每天抽出一點時間。我們可以從每天五分鐘開始，這不算太多，練習本身不需要密集的方法或嚴格的程序。我們所需要做的是坐著或站立在一個感到舒適、安靜、平靜的地方。

然後，只要以平靜的心態和身體禪修和反思在過去廿四小時發生了什麼事情，不要作任何判斷，也毋需加入自我的情緒。通過這樣做，就會帶來很多好處。你會更了解自己，了解你生活中有趣的事情。這不僅有助於你的記憶，使其更加清晰，而且可以真正幫助對自己的了解，以及認識快樂的本質。

我鼓勵大家嘗試這樣做。我自己也是盡力運用這種方法，這的確帶來了很多好處。它可以幫助我明確了解現在我身處的狀況，過去曾經體驗過的事情，這樣做也有助我了解可能發生的事情。這種簡單的修行可以幫助我們了解過去、現在和未來，令我們有信心，和能夠深入了解快樂為何物。

噶瑪巴

Taking 5 minutes a day

It is beneficial to reflect every day on what we are really seeking, theconditions that we have been gathering, and the methods that we have been applying. There is no harm in taking a little time every day from our schedules. We can start by taking just five minutes a day – it’s not much – and the practice itself doesn’t need to involve intensive methods or rigorous procedures. All we need to do is sit, or stand in a place where we feel comfortable, quiet and peaceful.

Then, simply meditate and reflect, with a calm state of mind and body. Reflect on the past 24 hours – nothing more – reflect on exactly what has happened. Do this in an unemotional way, without judgment. By doing so, there is so much benefit. You will understand more about yourself, the various interesting aspects of your life. Not only will this help your memory, gain clarity, but it can truly help you understand yourself, and the true nature of happiness.

I encourage all of you to try this. I follow this practice as much as I can, and it definitely brings a lot of benefit. It helps me to understand exactly where I am, what I have experienced in the past, and by doing so it also helps me understand what may happen, the possibilities. In this way, this simple practice can help us understand the past, the present and the future.

We feel confident, and can gain an insight into happiness.

心識的本質

如果一個修行者仔細觀察自己的心識，會察覺很明顯地心識是念念相續不斷 ，非常困難發現或描述它有一個起點。

這表示心識的本質並非執著或依附某種東西（如夢，其實這就是輪迴）。當修行者試圖執著或依附某種東西時，當下和長遠的影響將會是經歷迷惘，即痛苦（’dukkha’）或混亂。

因此，修行者從這些簡單的事實就能證明，心識從來都不會執著或依附於夢境或輪迥，有意識或心識的眾生自然能從夢中醒來，走向覺悟。

#Karmapa on the nature of our minds

If a practitioner looks at his or her mind closely, it’s clear that it simply moves forward, constantly – it is very very hard to detect or to describe a beginning in its movement.

This shows that the mind’s nature is never to hold on or cling to something (like the dream which is samsara). The moment the practitioner allows their mind to try to hold on or cling to something, both the immediate and long-term repercussions will be to experience agitation, meaning suffering (‘dukkha’) or confusion.

Therefore, just these simple facts show the practitioner that their mind is never meant to hold on to dreams or hold on to samsara, and that whoever has a consciousness or a mind, it is naturally supposed to wake from the dream and move forward towards enlightenment.

內在財富

從佛教徒的角度，我們對財富的種類有更廣義的觀點。除了物質上，更有內在的財富。內在財富是永恆的，這和物質財富相反。內在財富是我們固有的無盡慈悲、智慧和其它非物質價值。

所有這些特質就在我們面前，都是我們具足的，只是我們不習慣去運用內在財富，很容易便往外追求。我們失去平衡、感覺不完整，部分原因是我們看待自己的財富和成功只著眼於本質是有限、會耗盡的東西。當我們瞭解和體驗到自己內在財富時，我們便能夠和物質上的財富取得平衡而再次感到完整。

#Karmapa on Inner Wealth:

From a Buddhist perspective, we have a broader view of the types of wealth that exist. There is Material Wealth, but there is also Inner Wealth. Inner Wealth is timeless, and in this sense it is the opposite of Material Wealth. Inner Wealth is the rich pool of compassion, wisdom and other non-material values that lies within us.

All of these values are in front of us, within us, but because we lack the experience of drawing upon Inner Wealth, we tend to look to the outside too easily. We lack balance, we do not feel whole, partly because we are considering our wealth and success solely in terms that are by their nature limited and exhausting. When we have an understanding and experience of Inner Wealth, we are able to strike a balance with Material Wealth and feel whole again.

How to find balance

We have to find a balance. The real balance is accepting change as change. The extremes we could fall into are thinking that ‘this is not it’ or thinking ‘there is something more’.

內在財富對你不是一件陌生的東西，從出生那一刻開始、從你跟父母、監護人或朋友間的關係裏，慈悲和智慧的體驗都一直存在著，它們都是你從這些關係裡最初感受到的東西。如果沒有慈悲與智慧，便沒有生命力。沒有愛你便不能活下去。所以，內在的財富是人類的基本需求，尤如空氣、食物、水和居所一樣。

Inner Wealth is not something foreign to you – from the moment of birth, the experience of compassion and wisdom has always been there, from the very first moments in your life, in your relationships with parents, guardians or friends – these are the first things that you faced. If there is no compassion and wisdom, there is no life. You cannot survive without love. In this way, Inner Wealth is a basic human need, just like air, food, water and shelter.
