問： 當我在衆人之前被輕視、侮辱、打擊時，我應該如何處理這種情況呢？
Q: How should I deal with a situation where I am abused, kicked and belittled in front of many people
答： 在衆人之前或單獨一人，這兩者有何差別呢？如果某人侮辱你，你就接受有人侮辱你的事實，爲什麼要有生氣的反應呢？當你開始反應時，你已經是在傷 害你自己了。當某人侮辱你時，他想要使你不快樂；結果你就任它擺布，你的習 性會說：「好的，你想讓我不快樂嗎？沒問題，我就配合你！我會讓自己不快樂、 我會一直保持不快樂，現在你想要我不快樂，好啊，那我就不快樂幾個小時、幾天。」這是怎麼一回事啊？你正在做什麼呢？你正在傷害你自己。這個事實在你 修習內觀之後，會變得十分清楚。
A: In front of many or alone, what difference does it make
If somebody insults you, somebody insults you. Why react
When you start reacting, you have started harming yourself. When that person is insulting you, he wants to make you unhappy. So you say, "All right, you want to make me unhappy
Shake hands! I”ll be unhappy. I”ll remain unhappy. You want to make me unhappy once, but I”ll continue to be unhappy for hours, or for days at a time." What is going on
What are you doing
You are harming yourself. This will become so clear by the practice of Vipassana.
問： 什麼是無選擇地(、如實地)觀察呢？
Q: What is choiceless observation
答： 這個意思就是：不做什麼；一切正在發生之時，你就只是觀察著它，不要 附加這個信仰或那個信仰、這個教條、那個儀式或這種哲學，不要附加任何東西， 也不要創造任何東西：讓所有事物自然地發生。在你身心之內所自然發生的，無 論是什麼，都是實相；而實相就是神。
A: It means to do nothing. Things are just happening, and you are observing. Don”t impose this belief or that belief, this dogma, that cult, this philosophy. Don”t impose anything, don”t create anything: let things happen naturally. Whatever is happening within you naturally is the truth, and truth is God.
問： 內觀與專注有何差別？
Q: What is the difference between Vipassana and concentration
答： 內觀不僅僅是專注而已，內觀是在每一個當下觀察實相。你發展自己的覺 知力、發展你的念住；事物不斷地改變，而你只是保持覺知：這就是內觀。如果 你僅僅是專注于某個可能是一個想象的對象，那麼是不會觀察到任何變化的。當 你的心以想象作爲專注的對象，那麼你不是在觀察實相。當你在觀察實相時，它 必然是變化的；它不斷地在變化，但是你保持覺知。它不斷地在變化而你也不斷 地覺知到這個變化，這就是內觀。
A: Vipassana is not merely concentration. Vipassana is observation of the truth from moment to moment. You develop your faculty of awareness, your mindfulness. Things keep changing, but you remain aware: this is Vipassana. If you concentrate only on one object, which may be an imaginary object, then nothing will change. When you are with this imagination and your mind remains concentrated on it, you are not observing the truth. When you are observing the truth, it is bound to change. It keeps changing and yet you are aware of it. It keeps changing and you aware of the change. This is Vipassana.
問： 禅修是解脫的唯一方法嗎？
Q: Is meditation the only way to get liberated
答： 是的，如果只是以盲目的信仰來接受任何東西，對你是沒有多大幫助的。 你必須自己努力使你自身解脫；你要發現束縛在那裡，然後讓自己從束縛之中解 脫出來––––這就是內觀。觀察你的束縛，觀察你的痛苦。那麼你將會發現束縛的 真正原因、痛苦的真正原因，並且看到這些原因逐漸地根除、根除，漸漸地你就 從中解脫了。所以解脫是來自于內觀的修習。
A: Yes. Just accepting something with blind faith will not help. You have to work for your liberation. You have to find out where the bondage is, and then you have to come out of that bondage. This is Vipassana. Observe your bondage, observe your misery. Then you will find the real cause of the bondage, the real cause of misery and you will find how this cause starts getting eradicated, eradicated. Gradually you are coming out of it. So liberation comes by the practice of Vipassana.
