第一天 问答

　　Questions and Answers

　　问： 我们如何避免业力呢？

　　Q: How can we avoid karma

　　答： 做你自心的主人。整个内观的方法就是教导你如何成为你自心的主人。如 果你无法主宰你的心，那么因为旧有的习性模式，你仍然会持续地造作这些行 为，造作这些「业」––––这些你原本并不想做的。在理智上你了解：「我不应该 造作这些行为」。但是，你仍然造作，因为你无法主宰你的心。这个内观的方法 将会帮助你成为自心的主人。

　　A: Be the master of your own mind. The whole technique teaches you how to become your own master. If you are not the master of your mind, then because of the old habit pattern, you will keep on performing those actions, that karma, which you don”t want to perform. Intellectually you understand: "I should not perform these actions." Yet you still perform them, because you do not have mastery over your mind. This technique will help you to become the master of your own mind.

　　问： 什么是生命最终究的目标？也就是說，和谐的生活将导向什么呢？

　　Q: What is the ultimate goal of life

　　 That is, what does all this harmony lead to

　　答： 终究的生命，终极的目标是在此时此地。如果你一直期望未來能得到某些 事物，但却无法于现在获得利益，那么这只是幻想。如果你现在已经开始经验到此刻的和谐与安详，那么你将会达到目标，达到这个无时无刻都是安详与和谐、 别无它物的目标。所以在此时此刻就要去体验，那么你就是真正走在正道上了。

　　A: The ultimate life, the ultimate goal, is here and now. If you keep looking for something in the future but you don”t gain anything now, this is a delusion. If you have started experiencing peace and harmony now, then there is every likelihood that you will reach the goal, which is nothing but peace and harmony. So experience it now, at this moment. Then you are really on the right path.

　　问： 一位真正如法的人要如何面对这个不如法的世界呢？

　　Q: How can a truly Dharmic person face this adharmic world

　　答： 不要尝试去改变这不如法的世界。试着去改变你自己不如法之处，改变你的习性反应和给自己带來痛苦的方式。就像我說过的，当某人辱骂你时，你要瞭解这个人是痛苦的，这是那个人的问题。为何要变成你的问题呢？为何要开始产 生忿怒和变得痛苦呢？如果你这么做，那么你并不是你自心的主人，而是那个人的奴隸；只要那个人想，他随时都可让你痛苦。你是一个痛苦的人的奴隸。你尚未了解法。做你自己的主人，那么尽管四周有这么多不如法的情形，你仍然可以过着如法的生活。

　　A: Don”t try to change the adharmic world. Try to change the adharma in yourself, the way in which you are reacting and making yourself miserable. As I said, when somebody is abusing you, understand that this person is miserable. It is the problem of that person. Why make it your problem

　　 Why start generating anger and becoming miserable

　　 Doing that means you are not your own master, you are that person”s slave; whenever that person wants to, he can make you miserable. You are the slave of someone else who is a miserable person. You have not understood Dharma. Be your own master and you can live a Dharmic life in spite of the adharmic situations all around.

　　问： 是否有任何快捷方式呢？

　　Q: Is there any shorter way

　　答： 你必须改变你的习性模式，你必须找到你问题的根源––––这就是最短的路径。而问题的根源是内在而不是在外面。如果你学习如何向内深入，如果你由问 题的根源來开始改变一些事情，那么这就是一条使你由痛苦之中解脱出來的最短路径。

　　A: I would say this is the shortest way. You have to change your habit pattern; you have to go to the root of your problem. And the root of problem is inside, not outside. If you learn how to take a dip inside, if you start changing things at the root level, this is the shortest way for you to come out of your misery.

　　问： 请解释，为何有一些人并不清净，但他们仍然觉得快樂，看起來并不痛苦？

　　Q: Some people have impurities, but they feel happy and don”t look miserable. Please explain.

　　答： 你还未进入这些人的内心世界。比如說一个人很有钱，别人可能会觉得：

　　「多快樂的人啊！看看他，他拥有如此多的财富啊！」但是你不知道的是，这个 人无法安稳地睡觉，他必须依赖着安眠药––––他是一位非常痛苦的人啊。如果深 入你的内心，你当然可以了解你自己是如何痛苦；但是你无法透过一个人的外表，从脸上就看出他(或她)是痛苦或快樂的。痛苦是藏于内在深层的。

　　A: You have not entered the minds of these people. A person may have alot of money, and others may feel: "Such a happy person. Look, he has so much wealth." But what you don”t know is that this person can”t get sound sleep; he has to use sleeping pills—a very miserable person. You can know for yourself how miserable you are, going deep inside. You can”t understand at the external level by seeing sombody”…
