Vipallāsa

　　顛倒障(Vipallasa)

　　根據經文，顛倒障是以假爲真、以地獄爲天堂、以惡爲善。

　　According to the texts, Vipallāsa means seeing false as true, hell as heaven, evil as good.

　　顛倒障是一種心態，當人發現好東西並以爲可以保住它，便抛下自覺而取它，就好像被小偷偷走了似的，當他開始尋求時，它已不在那兒，被藏起來了。

　　Vipallāsa is the state of mind when one discovers something excellent and thinks that he can keep it. So he leaves self-awareness behind to get that thing. It is like it was stolen by a thief. When he starts looking for it, it is no longer there. It is hidden.

　　人不應離開自覺，即使痛苦已滅或其它。

　　One should not leave self-awareness even at the End of Suffering or whatsoever.

　　我在悟得它後才證苦滅。那時我是在顛倒障的境界中。我沈浸在狂喜的階段，因爲我從不曾如此。

　　I realized the End of Suffering after I attained it. At that moment, I was in the state of Vipallāsa. I clung to ecstasy because I had never been like this before.

　　我正來回地走，感覺像在離地一、二公尺處漂浮。事實上，我正走在地上。我抓住這狂喜不放。可是，它沒有維持多久，我自己覺知：「咦！爲什麼如此？」

　　I was walking back and forth and I felt like I was floating above the ground about 1-2 meters. Actually, I was walking on the ground. I clung to that ecstasy but it did not last for long. Then I was aware of myself, “Eh! Why is it so

　　”

　　我回頭去觀「所緣」。在這階段，你應往返複習觀「所緣」。但是，並不包含「名色所緣」。

　　I began to review the Objects of Insight. At this stage, you should review the Objects backwards and forwards, but this does not include Roop- Nahm Objects.

　　複習這目標後，狂喜會漸漸消失，心將回到平常狀態。

　　After reviewing the Objects, the ecstasy will gradually fade away. The mind will return to the ordinary state.
