  问: 当我在众人之前被轻视、侮辱、打击时,我应该如何处理这种情况呢?

  Q: How should I deal with a situation where I am abused, kicked and belittled in front of many people

  

  答: 在众人之前或单独一人,这兩者有何差别呢?如果某人侮辱你,你就接受有人侮辱你的事实,为什么要有生气的反应呢?当你开始反应时,你已经是在伤 害你自己了。当某人侮辱你时,他想要使你不快樂;结果你就任它摆布,你的习 性会說:「好的,你想让我不快樂吗?没问题,我就配合你!我会让自己不快樂、 我会一直保持不快樂,现在你想要我不快樂,好啊,那我就不快樂几个小时、几天。」这是怎么一回事啊?你正在做什么呢?你正在伤害你自己。这个事实在你 修习内观之后,会变得十分清楚。

  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.

  问: 什么是无选择地(、如实地)观察呢?

  Q: What is choiceless observation

  

  答: 这个意思就是:不做什么;一切正在发生之时,你就只是观察着它,不要 附加这个信仰或那个信仰、这个教条、那个仪式或这种哲学,不要附加任何东西, 也不要创造任何东西:让所有事物自然地发生。在你身心之内所自然发生的,无 論是什么,都是实相;而实相就是神。

  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.

  问: 内观与专注有何差别?

  Q: What is the difference between Vipassana and concentration

  

  答: 内观不仅仅是专注而已,内观是在每一个当下观察实相。你发展自己的觉 知力、发展你的念住;事物不断地改变,而你只是保持觉知:这就是内观。如果 你仅仅是专注于某个可能是一个想象的对象,那么是不会观察到任何变化的。当 你的心以想象作为专注的对象,那么你不是在观察实相。当你在观察实相时,它 必然是变化的;它不断地在变化,但是你保持觉知。它不断地在变化而你也不断 地觉知到这个变化,这就是内观。

  

  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.

  问: 禅修是解脱的唯一方法吗?

  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东西,对你是没有多大帮助的。 你必须自己努力使你自身解脱;你要发现束缚在那裡,然后让自己从束缚之中解 脱出來––––这就是内观。观察你的束缚,观察你的痛苦。那么你将会发现束缚的 真正原因、痛苦的真正原因,并且看到这些原因逐渐地根除、根除,渐渐地你就 从中解脱了。所以解脱是來自于内观的修习。

  

  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.
