第七章

不能簡單地由期望而得

期望也是苦

BUT THAT IS NOT OBTAINED SIMPLY BY

WISHING – AND THIS TOO IS DUKKHA

There are many different methods of kammatthana. I have practiced many, many methods, but those methods did not lead to panna. Now, the method that we are practicing is the method that directly leads to panna. Anyone can practice it, if they know the correct method. When panna arises you will know, see and understand by yourself. So the method of turning the hand up and down is the method to build up sati, to develop panna. When it has been practiced thoroughly, it will be abundant and spontaneous.

世上有很種不同的禪修方法。我曾練習過許多種，但這些方法都沒有使我產生智慧。現在我們練習的方法是直接通向智慧的。如果知道正確的方法，任何人都可以練習它。當智慧生起時你會自己知道、看見、明白。因此，翻手放手的方法是培養覺性、發展智慧的方法。若能徹底練習，它將自發地產生顯著的效果。

Anyone without exception can practice it, whether they are a child or adult, whatever work they do, whatever religions they profess or beliefs they hold, they can practice.

任何人，毫無例外地，都可以練習。不管他們是孩童或是成年人、從事什麼工作、聲稱信仰什麼或者秉持什麼信念，都可以練習。

Everyone has body-mind. Body is the matter that we can see with the eyes. We can call it roop. But the mind we cannot see with the eyes, we cannot touch with the hands. It can be called nahm. These two things are the same.

每個人都有身--心。身是我們可以用眼睛看見的物質。我們稱它為色(roop)。不過心我們無法用眼睛看見、無法用手觸摸。它稱為名(nahm)。兩種東西是相同的。

When we build up sati, develop sati, panna will arise and know by itself. Just have the thing that is already there grow up. The thing that is not real, we don』t have to do it. When we know roop-nahm we will know everything, and we can really untie dukkha. For example, we will not attach to sammuti. After knowing that, we practice more awareness, doing the arm-movement as I advised you. Now we do it faster. Thought is the quickest thing, it is quicker than electricity.

當我們培養了覺性，智慧會自動生起。只要讓已存在的事物成長即可。若是虛無之物，我們就不必理會。知道了名色之後，我們會知道所有一切事物，我們真的能從苦中解放出來。例如，我們不執著假名。知道這點後，按照我所指導的方法去做更多的手部動作來培養覺性。我們可以做得更快一些。念頭是最快的，比閃電還快。

When sati panna has increased, it will know, see and understand dosa – moha – lobha. When we know it, dukkha in the mind will decrease. Most people misunderstand, and think that dosa, lobha and moha are normal. But one that knows says that dosa – moha – lobha is dukkha, ugly, dirty, so he or she doesn』t let that thing come close. This is called knowing one』s own life-mind, which is clean, illuminated and calm. When we know this point, it has great potential, like a small stream descending to become a big river.

智慧增長時，就會知道、看見、了解貪嗔癡。當我們知道它，心中的苦就會減少。大多數人誤解了，以為貪嗔痴是正常的。知道者會說貪嗔痴是苦、是丑陋的、是骯髒的，所以他(她)就不會讓貪嗔癡靠近。這就稱之為知道自己的本心。它是清淨的、光明的、寧靜的，具備巨大潛能的。當我們知道這一點後，它將像小溪變成大河。

So the method of practice is to have more and more awareness, knowing the postures of the body, and those minor movements like blinking, looking to the left and right, inhaling and exhaling. All these movements can be seen with the eyes. But we cannot see thought with the eyes. We can only know it and see it with samadhi – sati – panna. The samadhi I am talking about is not sitting with eyes closed. Samadhi means setting up the mind to be aware of ourself. When we have awareness of ourself continuously, that is called samadhi, or it can be called sati. When the mind thinks we will know thought immediately, and thought will become shorter and shorter. It is like plus and minus, increase and decrease. If we talk there is much to say, but I would like all of you to practice the movement, to practice by yourself through the method of movement. The fruit will come by itself.

因此練習的目的就是擁有越來越多的覺性，知道身體的動作，以及細微的運動，像眨眼、左顧右盼、呼吸。所有這些運動都可以用眼睛看見。但是，我們無法用眼睛看見念頭，我們只能用覺--定--慧(samadhi–sati–panna )知道它、看見它。我這里說的定不是閉眼坐著，是安定自己的心(setting up the mind)讓它知道自己。當我們可以連續不斷地知道自己，那就稱為定(三摩地，samadhi)，也可以稱為覺性(sati)。心一思考，我們就可以立即知道念頭，念頭就會越來越短。這就像是加號和減號，增加和減少。如果要解釋的話，要說許多，但我希望大家都自己按照這個方法練習動作。果實會自己出現。
