慈悲與大愛, 並不是濫用情與義
是看清楚真相,
不要陷在感情,慾望,憤怒,嫉妒,自我,
脆弱的迷思裡!
慈悲與大愛,
並不是濫用情與義,
而是真正希望對方從痛苦中解脫,
讓他真的找到生命的方向,
讓他真正的愛惜自己,
付出自己並珍惜世間的一切!
If there is a truth of the universe, there should be an absolutness beyond our comprehension, so why should one exist on Earth with ignorance but being omnipotent instead? Trying to build a safe haven for ourselves and living like ants...is like rearranging our furniture while our house is on fire. The only sure thing is that we will lose it all in the end. So, let us get on the boat and surf...

In the Gulu Renpoche's yoga practice, you need to visualize yourself uniting with him. You Unite with the Gulu Renpoche as one, insight and out. You have his compassion, his wisdom, his speech, his action, his strength, his courage, his power, his youth and his purity.
Not only during the practice, or meditation period, but also through out the day, walking and sleeping as a real Bodhisattva.

第二章: 學習佛法之路: “自我”與”證悟”的和解
Line1
“證悟到底與我有什麼關係?” 在學佛的道路上,修行者必定與這個問題搏鬥許久.
在我們心中, 一直會出現兩種對立的現象: 一種是渴望得到自由與知識, 以及對覺悟有種大約概念性的想法. 另一種是, 當我們很誠實的面對實際狀況, 我們卻陷入自己的掙扎, 困惑, 與一切醜惡的泥沼裡無法自拔. 那麼,我們要如何做才能平衡兩種對立, 予與和解呢?
Line6
當我們嘗試著逃避內心裡不愉快的痛苦及困惑, 而努力達成解脫 (也許這些想法很模糊, 也許很清晰), 我們將發現自己的修行並沒有建立在自身的經驗上. 而是建立在一個思想的架構上, 即是我們”欲想”得到某種東西. 倘偌我們把注意力集中在痛苦與困惑上, 讓它們吞噬我們, 我們將會發現自己的願景消匿, 開悟及解脫痛苦的可能性降低, 對人人皆有佛性的信仰開始動搖. 這兩種狀況都讓我們與親身的經驗分離開來.
Line13
佛法之所以擁有特殊的美感及慈悲, 是因為佛法從不會讓我們去經歷任何
我們沒有經歷的事物. 再者, 讓我們的心專注在自己的經驗上, 包括一切的痛苦及困惑, 也是在修行的道路上的起始步驟. 佛陀傳法時, 四聖諦裡的苦集滅道, 苦的真諦便是擺在教授佛法的第一位. 這是種多麼大的慈悲, 因為無論我們面對或逃避痛苦, 受苦的事實卻是真實存在.
Line19
佛法的修行絕不會屏除任何的經驗. 甚至, 佛法教導我們面對任何事情時, 都能夠以一種嶄新的態度對待, 那就是了解自己所經驗的事情, 但是不賦予任何的評斷. 這種開放心胸的, 不給與評斷的能力, 是必須從消除自我的”個人化”經驗做起. 任何的念頭,感官以及情緒上的覺受都是瞬間即逝的. 這些瞬間並沒有固有的真理或是身分.

只要我們心中擁有很清晰的目標, 願望及焦點, 我們將會確定自己的位置, 與上師的關係也就會更加的清楚明白. 換言之, 倘偌我們了解扣環的必要性, 我們自然的就會了解掛鉤的本質; 事實上, 他們是相互依存的. 在這個基礎上, 我們便能夠很清楚的認知, 弟子與上師之間的關係與互動, 幾乎完全是仰賴我們自己的態度, 與開闊的心胸, 以及我們長遠的願景.
Line7
當我們開始建立成為扣環的同時, 我們也逐步的建構對上師龐大的感謝之心, 也更對上師的傳承給予最高的感激. 在修行的道路上, 我們會逐漸體會上師給予我們引導的重要性, 不然我們將會迷失在困惑當中, 然而這種由衷的感激,卻是當我們在摸索當中自然不造作的情況下產生的. 透過上師的指引, 我們將會與上師連結, 發掘更深遠更寬廣願景.
Line13
在這樣的願景下, 任何與”我”有關的想法都將不再重要. 例如, 我的難題, 我的習性, 我的心靈, 我的體悟, 我的成就, 我的知識等. 事實上, 仁玻切說這些事情, 都與我, 真正的”我”沒有關係, 它們只與無知的行為有關. 當我們提及”我的”無知, 實際上所指的應是有情眾生的無知---全體眾生的無明. 當我們提及我的心性, 或是我的體悟, 我們需要了解, 這裡所說的我的心性, 指的就是眾生心的本質. 上師與上師所延續的傳承, 即是覺悟心性的化身, 然而, 上師與傳承,即所謂的掛勾, 必須要靠我們來創造.

From Heart Sutra: "Here, O Sariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness ; they are not produced or stopped, not defiled or immaculate, not deficient or complete.
Therefore, O Sariputra, in emptiness there is no form nor feeling, nor perception, nor impulse, nor consciousness"
Sometimes, in cinema, we could find one splendid sentence that would spin in our head for quite a while। As I walked out from Spider Man's web, these words revolved in my mind trumpeting for the longest time:
" Everybody has their own choices; whether being good or bad, right or wrong, it is all their choice."
During meditation, I suddenly realized one thing, feeling touched but relieved -- a real forgiveness is after all nothing to be forgiven, yet empty in the beginning. Why so? Because is there an absolute good or bad person? or a right or wrong deed?
According to Heart Sutra's teaching, the answer is
no,
as " in emptiness there is no form nor feeling, nor perception, nor impulse, nor consciousness ."
Is the perception of reality as cloudy as it seems we might wonder? In meditation of mind nature practice, one has to contemplate on the importance of one's mind in comparison with one's speech and physical form. If we merely suppose the dominance of mind, we would loose our chance to exam the supper power of our mind, to experience the non-physical existence phenomenon, and so does more in depth understand the concept of Buddha's teaching of emptiness।
How we exam the importance our mind is very similar to how we exam which choices we would make in our life. For instance, when the Sand Man encountered Spiderman's uncle, if he would not act on impulses, if he would consider the consequences of killing , if he can feel the sorrow and suffering of this being killed person's love ones as he loves his daughter, if he would ponder upon the causes and effects on his doing.......Thus, this is not matter of good or bad, right or wrong, but being wit and compassionate. As a result, on our discussion of forgiveness, is there anything to be forgiven? Is he still the same man who killed Spinderman's uncle, whether he repented or not? No, each cell in his body and mind had differed since. Therefore, we should be able to perceive this beyond what had been done, because it is all matter of concept and beyond our daily perception।
It is all about WISDON and COMPASSION。
When we meditate on the subject of the importance of mind, we sometimes experience the feeling of loosing forms, loosing self-awareness, and loosing the grasping power of concreteness for couple minutes।
to be continued...
