..續本文上一頁at our minds. Watching the mind is turning on the light by using the switch. When we do this often, awareness will become nimble and quick; awareness will intercept greed, hatred and delusion and prevent it from arising. Awareness and concentration are together. As for wisdom, it means knowing and seeing clearly. In Pali, it says NATTHI PANYA SAMA ABHA, meaning there is nothing as bright as wisdom. And SATI
TESAM NIVARANAM, meaning awareness is that which prevents the stream of defilements. There isn”t anything that is fast enough to hold back this stream, other than Sati. It is this awareness and wisdom that come and contact, know, see and stop it, not letting us become deluded. This is because Sati-Samadhi-Panya is opposite to Lobha-Dosa-Moha. If we don”t see, know and understand, there is full greed, hatred and delusion. It is comparable to nighttime, when it”s dark. As soon as we light a candle there is light and the darkness disappears, because darkness is afraid of light; as soon as the candle
goes out, the darkness immediately comes back.
如果你不了解天堂，你就不能去到那裏，舉例來說，房子裏有電，我們都希望能有燈光，可是，我們卻只是抓著燈泡，這樣燈是不會亮的。當我們明白必須打開開關，燈才會亮，然後我們去打開開關，燈泡就發出光亮了。對治貪瞋癡的方法也類似這個道理，我們不必搞清楚貪瞋癡在哪裏，只需要回來看我們的心，貪瞋癡自自然然就會滅除。
佛陀由于對治清淨了自己的心，而宣稱他覺悟了，所以我們也必須看自己的心，觀心就是打開開關－真正開燈的方法。如果我們經常這麼做，覺知就會變得敏銳快捷，可以截斷貪瞋癡，不再讓它生起。但是，覺知和禅定是一體的，至于智慧，意思是清楚地知道和見到。在巴利文裏說：「NATTHI PANYA SAMA ABHA。」意思就是說，沒有任何東西像智慧一樣光明。又說：「SATI TESAM NIVARANAM。」意思是，覺知可以防杜煩惱之流，除了正念，沒有任何東西的速度，快到能夠阻斷這股泛流。只有這覺知和智慧才能跟隨它、趕上它，並且知道、看到和阻斷它，而不讓我們陷入迷惑。這是因爲覺－定－慧(Sati-Samadhi-Panya)是貪瞋癡的反面。如果我們沒有覺知，沒有看到、知道和了解，就會充滿了貪瞋癡，就好比夜晚，充滿黑暗；明暗是相對的，只要我們點燃蠟燭，有了燈光，黑暗就消失了，黑暗害怕光明；一旦蠟燭熄滅，黑暗又立即回來了。
C. Peace As Result 寂靜爲果
That I”m giving some reflections and explaining this shortcut-method of practice is in order for you all to take it and practice with it, so that you get quick results and don”t have to waste time. This method can
be used in daily life; there is no need to stop working in order to practice. Some people have practiced a bit already, and some people have only just heard it. Some people who have never heard it might feel displeased. If that”s how you feel, then discard that feeling first, the knowledge that you have learned
before. put it down for now and test out what I”m saying; try it out and you will know what the results that arise are like. I dare to guarantee that this method is at least eighty percent right according to what the Buddha teaches. According to just my own personal feeling, it is one-hundred percent right, because having practiced it, I know that it alleviates greed, hatred and delusion. When those things diminish, peace arises instead.
我之所以要給大家一些觀念及解釋這個快捷方式的修法，是希望你們能接受它並依之修學，讓你們快速得到成果而不浪費時間。這個方法可用于日常生活中，沒有必要爲了修學而停止工作。有些人已經修學過一點，有些人可能才剛聽說而已，而也有些人可能從來沒聽說過，而且感覺不喜歡，如果你是這樣的感覺，那麼請你先放下那種感覺，以及你以前學到的知識，請現在就放下，然後試試我說的方法，去體驗看看，你會明白結果是怎麼回事。我敢保證，這方法至少有八成是直接傳承于佛陀的教導。就我個人的感覺來說，這是百分之百正確的方法，因爲我已經練習過了，我知道它可以減少貪瞋癡。當這些東西消滅了，反之，寂靜安祥就會生起。
D. Full Awareness As Result 圓覺爲果
I”d like to give another example: Take a glass. We can see that there is air in the glass. When we pour water into it, the air goes out and the water is in it instead. Then, when we pour the water out, the air
goes back in and replaces the water. This compares with our turning up the hand, we know, we have awareness, Sati comes to replace not-knowing, delusion. Not-knowing goes out of our minds. Do it often. Catch the feeling often, in all postures. Sati will increase; and delusion, not-knowing will decrease just as
the water replaces air in the glass.
我再舉個例子：就以杯子爲例吧！我們可以見到杯子裏有空氣，當我們把水倒下去，空氣會跑出來，而水會進到裏頭去。當我們把水倒出來，空氣就會回到裏頭而取代了水。這就好比我們在翻掌時，如果我們知道、有覺知，那麼正念就會取代不知與妄念，不知會被趕出我們的心。你們要經常這樣練習，在任何姿勢中，隨時抓住那個感覺(即覺知動作)，這樣你的正念就會增長，而不知與妄念就會減少，就像杯子裏的水取代了空氣一樣。
Maybe some of you have heard about, or have been taught, to make merit, for example by building a
