1-1-4. DIVINE EYE - DIVINE EAR聖眼與聖耳
What I said at the beginning, that the Buddha teaches us to have the divine eye and ear means the eye and ear that are able to see and hear what appears out of not-knowing i.e. greed, hatred & delusion that core up at the senses, it doesn’t mean seeing or hearing something else. These 3 defilements are comparable to bandits or satan that come to snatch the throne or seat of awareness, concentration and wisdom away, so that one is deprived of cleanliness, brightness and peace. We should find and keep this kind of divine eye and ear because it is the divine eye and ear that will lead us to Nibbana. Life will be without suffering.
我前面一開始說：佛陀教導我們獲得聖眼與聖耳。這是指能看見和聽到貪瞋癡心的眼睛和耳朵，而不是能看見或聽到其它什麼東西。貪瞋癡心深藏在我們感官的核心底層，而且當我們沒有覺知時它就會流竄而出。這三種煩惱就好比是強盜或魔鬼，會奪走覺-定-慧的皇冠與寶座，而讓我們失去清淨、光明和安祥。我們必須去找到並守護這樣的聖眼與聖耳，因為，就是這聖眼與聖耳能引領我們趣入涅槃，讓生命沒有苦惱。
Even at the moment that you hear me talking, may you be filled with virtue and Dhamma. Know like; know dislike. Know boredom, know annoyance, whatever the mind thinks : know and see it !
就在你們聽我講話的這個當下，願你們內心都能滿載著善德與正法。知道喜歡，知道不喜歡，知道無聊，知道煩擾，不管你心里在想什麼：都要知道並且看見它！
In order to have this type of divine eye and ear we have to train in awareness, train in concentration, we must have awareness and concentration every moment i.o.w. whatever the mind thinks: know it and see it !
想要擁有聖眼與聖耳，就必須修練覺性，修練禪定，我們時時刻刻都必須要有覺性與禪定，換句話說，不管你心里在想什麼：都要知道它、看見它！
That the Buddha teaches to solve the problem in the present means at the moment of contact. He teaches to have awareness, concentration and wisdom to know and see the objects that arise in the mind. So awareness, concentration and wisdom must be ready every moment not to make way for satan. Whoever has awareness, concentration and wisdom to conquer suffering like this, even a little bit, is considered to have the divine eye and ear, to some extent, because one is able to see heaven in one’s heart and hell in one’s mind already.
我們說：佛陀教導我們解決當下的問題。這意思就是指根塵接觸的當下。他教導我們要用覺-定-慧去知道並看見我們心中生起的東西。所以我們必須時時刻刻都保持覺-定-慧，不讓魔鬼有機可乘。任何能像這樣用覺-定-慧去滅苦的人，即使才一點點的覺-定-慧，都可以說是得到了某種程度的聖眼與聖耳，因為他已經能夠在心中看到天堂與地獄。
