我看到过1-2天就drop out 的人,。 也听到过有人sneak 手机进去打电话的 10天不是vacation, 不是总是轻松愉快的 The Code of Discipline[p=27, null, left]The foundation of the practice is sīla — moral conduct. Sīla provides a basis for the development of samādhi — concentration of mind; and purification of the mind is achieved through paññā — the wisdom of insight. The Precepts [p=27, null, left]All who attend a Vipassana course must conscientiously undertake the following five precepts for the duration of the course:
to abstain from killing any being; to abstain from stealing; to abstain from all sexual activity; to abstain from telling lies; to abstain from all intoxicants.
[p=27, null, left]There are three additional precepts which old students (that is, those who have completed a course with S.N. Goenka or one of his assistant teachers) are expected to follow during the course:
to abstain from eating after midday; to abstain from sensual entertainment and bodily decorations; to abstain from using high or luxurious beds.
[p=27, null, left]Old students will observe the sixth precept by having tea without milk or fruit juice at the 5 p.m. break, whereas new student may have tea with milk and some fruit. The teacher may excuse an old student from observing this precept for health reasons. The seventh and eighth precept will be observed by all. Acceptance of the Teacher and the Technique[p=27, null, left]Students must declare themselves willing to comply fully and for the duration of the course with the teacher's guidance and instructions; that is, to observe the discipline and to meditate exactly as the teacher asks, without ignoring any part of the instructions, nor adding anything to them. This acceptance should be one of discrimination and understanding, not blind submission. Only with an attitude of trust can a student work diligently and thoroughly. Such confidence in the teacher and the technique is essential for success in meditation. Other Techniques, Rites, and Forms of Worship[p=27, null, left]During the course it is absolutely essential that all forms of prayer, worship, or religious ceremony — fasting, burning incense, counting beads, reciting mantras, singing and dancing, etc. — be discontinued. All other meditation techniques and healing or spiritual practices should also be suspended. This is not to condemn any other technique or practice, but to give a fair trial to the technique of Vipassana in its purity. [p=27, null, left]Students are strongly advised that deliberately mixing other techniques of meditation with Vipassana will impede and even reverse their progress. Despite repeated warnings by the teacher, there have been cases in the past where students have intentionally mixed this technique with a ritual or another practice, and have done themselves a great disservice. Any doubts or confusion which may arise should always be clarified by meeting with the teacher. Interviews With the Teacher[p=27, null, left]The teacher is available to meet students privately between 12 Noon and 1:00 p.m. Questions may also be asked in public between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. in the meditation hall. The interview and question times are for clarifying the technique and for questions arising from the evening discourses. Noble Silence[p=27, null, left]All students must observe Noble Silence from the beginning of the course until the morning of the last full day. Noble Silence means silence of body, speech, and mind. Any form of communication with fellow student, whether by gestures, sign language, written notes, etc., is prohibited. [p=27, null, left]Students may, however, speak with the teacher whenever necessary and they may approach the management with any problems related to food, accommodation, health, etc. But even these contacts should be kept to a minimum. Students should cultivate the feeling that they are working in isolation. Separation of Men and Women[p=27, null, left]Complete segregation of men and women is to be maintained. Couples, married or otherwise, should not contact each other in any way during the course. The same applies to friends, members of the same family, etc. Physical Contact[p=27, null, left]It is important that throughout the course there be no physical contact whatsoever between persons of the same or opposite sex. Yoga and Physical Exercise[p=27, null, left]Although physical yoga and other exercises are compatible with Vipassana, they should be suspended during the course because proper secluded facilities are not available at the course site. Jogging is also not permitted. Students may exercise during rest periods by walking in the designated areas. Religious Objects, Rosaries, Crystals, Talismans, etc.[p=27, null, left]No such items should be brought to the course site. If brought inadvertently they should be deposited with the management for the duration of the course. Intoxicants and Drugs[p=27, null, left]No drugs, alcohol, or other intoxicants should be brought to the site; this also applies to tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and all other sedatives. Those taking medicines or drugs on a doctor's prescription should notify the teacher. Tobacco[p=27, null, left]For the health and comfort of all students, smoking, chewing tobacco, and taking snuff are not permitted at the course. Food[p=27, null, left]It is not possible to satisfy the special food preferences and requirements of all the meditators. Students are therefore kindly requested to make do with the simple vegetarian meals provided. The course management endeavors to prepare a balanced, wholesome menu suitable for meditation. If any students have been prescribed a special diet because of ill-health, they should inform the management at the time of application. Fasting is not permitted. Clothing[p=27, null, left]Dress should be simple, modest, and comfortable. Tight, transparent, revealing, or otherwise striking clothing (such as shorts, short skirts, tights and leggings, sleeveless or skimpy tops) should not be worn. Sunbathing and partial nudity are not permitted. This is important in order to minimize distraction to others. Laundry and Bathing[p=27, null, left]No washing machines or dryers are available, so students should bring sufficient clothing. Small items can be hand-washed. Bathing and laundry may be done only in the break periods and not during meditation hours. Outside Contacts[p=27, null, left]Students must remain within the course boundaries throughout the course. They may leave only with the specific consent of the teacher. No outside communications is allowed before the course ends. This includes letters, phone calls and visitors. Cell phones, pagers, and other electronic devices must be deposited with the management until the course ends. In case of an emergency, a friend or relative may contact the management. Music, Reading and Writing[p=27, null, left]The playing of musical instruments, radios, etc. is not permitted. No reading or writing materials should be brought to the course. Students should not distract themselves by taking notes. The restriction on reading and writing is to emphasize the strictly practical nature of this meditation. Recording Devices and Cameras[p=27, null, left]These may not be used except with the express permission of the teacher. Course Finances[p=27, null, left]According to the tradition of pure Vipassana, courses are run solely on a donation basis. Donations are accepted only from those who have completed at least one ten-day course with S.N. Goenka or one of his assisting teachers. Someone taking the course for the first time may give a donation on the last day of the course or any time thereafter. [p=27, null, left]In this way courses are supported by those who have realized for themselves the benefits of the practice. Wishing to share these benefits with others, one gives a donation according to one's means and volition. Such donations are the only source of funding for course in this tradition around the world. There is no wealthy foundation or individual sponsoring them. Neither the teachers nor the organizers receive any kind of payment for their service. Thus, the spread of Vipassana is carried out with purity of purpose, free from any commercialism. [p=27, null, left]Whether a donation is large or small, it should be given with the wish to help others: 'The course I have taken has been paid for through the generosity of past students; now let me give something towards the cost of a future course, so that others may also benefit by this technique.' Summary[p=27, null, left]To clarify the spirit behind the discipline and rules, they may be summarized as follows: [p=27, null, left]Take great care that your actions do not disturb anyone. Take no notice of distractions caused by others. [p=27, null, left]It may be that a student cannot understand the practical reasons for one or several of the above rules. Rather than allow negativity and doubt to develop, immediate clarification should be sought from the teacher. [p=27, null, left]It is only by taking a disciplined approach and by making maximum effort that a student can fully grasp the practice and benefit from it. The emphasis during the course is on work. A golden rule is to meditate as if one were alone, with one's mind turned inward, ignoring any inconveniences and distractions that one may encounter. [p=27, null, left]Finally, students should note that their progress in Vipassana depends solely on their own good qualities and personal development and on five factors: earnest efforts, confidence, sincerity, health and wisdom. [p=27, null, left]May the above information help you to obtain maximum benefit from your meditation course. We are happy to have the opportunity to serve, and wish you peace and harmony from your experience of Vipassana.

一,大方向不要搞错了
二,如何分辨你自己大方向的对错
三,修心从做善事开始
四,学会把内在的心态和外在的思想行为分割开
五,内在心态的辨认 六,修心的几个大关口
七,破情关为啥对女人那么难?
.
有一些姐妹会问我,那在平时说话做事思考的日常生活中,怎么才能知道自己的大方向是对还是错呢?这个很简单,你只要看你是否有烦恼。。。如果你说一句话,做一件事,或是想一个问题,立马烦恼就来了,说明你在说这句话做这件事想这个问题的时候,你被你自己的私心所控制,大方向错啦!
.
我没修心之前,就有这样的经历,比如遇到一个事情,会越想越心烦。。。其实,这就是说明我在考虑这个问题的时候,私心太重。。。这个帖子以帮助大家实际解决问题为目标,因此,我来写一些常见的例子,大家对照着看看,是否能够帮助你察觉你自己的私心。
.
例子一,爱孩子的妈妈
.
我自己只有一个儿子,因此,我自己内心的欲望是希望他的生活十全十美天天开心快乐,请注意这是一种充满私心地爱。。。于是他遇到个事情,不高兴了,我自己立马也会跟着烦躁起来。。。他要是哭哭啼啼的,那我的心更是揪成一团,非常烦恼,经常会控制不住自己发脾气。。。我修心之后,发现这样充满私心地爱一点儿也不好,在我儿子需要我温柔耐心地帮助他的时候,我总是先自己乱了心绪,没帮到他什么,反而给他增加负能量。。。还不如我对待我朋友的孩子们!!当我朋友的孩子们不高兴,哭泣的时候,我反而很有耐心,会认真倾听他们的诉说,帮助他们打开心结,把事情解决好。
.
修心之后,我很清楚地看到我对我孩子的私心,这一年多都是在不断的练习放下这种私心,尽量用无私的爱来与他相处。。。用大白话说,就是从心态上把他当作我朋友的孩子来对待。。。于是,他遇到不顺的时候,我渐渐能够淡定下来,能够多一些冷静理智温柔忍耐来帮助他鼓励他,给他带来多一些正能量。
.
例子二,淡泊名利的老妈
.
我妈现在七十岁了,去年生了一场大病,自以为把一切都放下了(她现在对于钱确实视如粪土啦)。。。然后,会问我-女儿,我现在什么都看穿了放下了,怎么还会有烦恼呢?我说,妈,您只是放下了名利心罢了,你的心还是在不断地向外求感情(她的情况是亲情),当然还是会有烦恼的呀。
.
其实我妈对于亲情私心蛮重的,对于我哥和我嫂子,那肯定是大大的不同。。。人就是这样,私心一起,烦恼就来。。。名啊利啊,其实只是人生的一部分,如果你认为你不看重钱,不关心别人如何看你,就是没有自我的欲望,那真是大错特错了。
.
例子三,累心的中年人
.
楼主自己年近四十,所以,周围的朋友都是这个年龄,有很多都是人生硬件配置豪华鲜亮的,一流的头脑,靠自己的能力,工作家庭房子车子孩子,样样齐全。。。就是活得心好累! 有的朋友甚至会对我感叹说,还是年轻好,那个时候虽然穷,啥都没有,但也没有这么多压力责任,多么轻松自在啊!
.
其实,这种心累的情况,都是自我的欲望闹得结果!心不断向外求的人还是少拥有一些比较好,拥有的越多,心就越累!因为,向外求的人拥有越多,就越贪心,希望自己的东东啥都好。。。人一贪心,凶祸就来了,今天工作有问题,明天家庭有问题,后天孩子有问题,再后天房子有问题,再再后天车子有问题。。。最后,把自己的心搞得超累!大家看,大方向错了的人,各种人生硬件配置反而成为心的累赘,不能够好好地享受这些硬件配置,真是好可惜啊!
.
这样的人需要告诉自己,人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,有问题是很正常的,需要放下心里面追求样样都好的贪心,解脱自己的心!
.
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
.
从以上的例子可以看出,烦恼就是检验真理的最有效方式!我自己修心的体会是,有烦恼的时候,就是私心重的时候,需要反省反省再反省。。。修心练习时间长了,自然会条件反射了,当有烦恼起来的时候,第一反应就是-哇,我的私心又来了,又开始自私啦。。。赶快放下这个事情,先反省一下,看看自己的私心是个啥。。。等看明白了,就容易放下啦!现在的我,有时候一天都没啥私心起来,那这一天过得真是轻松愉快
.
其实,修心就是帮助你减少烦恼,成就幸福的,你只要认清楚大方向,发心改变自己的大方向,努力一点一点把自己变得无私一些,你会很快就体会到我说得这种幸福啦!反之,大方向错了,你越来越自私,烦恼缠身,别人也不喜欢你,你自己也会讨厌自己,这样的日子就是地狱啊!
.
.
要想真正往内求修心,就必须分清楚啥是内,啥是外。。。内是指人的灵,心灵,或是心态。。。外是指人的六根,眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意(这个意包括人的意识思想)。。。人内在的灵,心灵,心态是人一切外在的原动力。。。修心的目的就是把这个原动力从自私的状态改变成无私的状态。
.
开贴这么久,我发现很多跟帖的姐妹都是内外混为一谈。。。用几个例子来具体说明。
.
例子一:我在易经坤卦篇里面,用我自己的婚姻来讲厚德载物,提倡无所求(内在的无私)。。。然后,就有许许多多的姐妹来责问我,这个无所求的包容心不是就是让自己做包子,养混蛋懒汉吗?坚决行不通的啊!!!还有一个姐妹专门发了一个贴来表示对我这个说法的强烈反对之情。
.
呵呵,其实这个无所求仅仅指的是内在的心态,而不是外在的思想行为。。。用大白话来说,就是心态上包容不生气不计较,行为上奖罚分明,狠狠地打一个巴掌又温柔地送上一个甜枣!
.
例子二:有个姐妹很直接地指出我的问题,她说“行为出自心态。。无欲无求的人还上网发什么贴,辩什么论,传什么教,论什么断”。。。这个姐妹认为无欲无求的心态必然导致啥也不用做的行为。
.
她把行为上的无所求和心态上的无所求混为一谈啦。。。心态上的无所求是指无私给予,并不是指什么都不做。。。而且,当一个人的心态是无私给予的时候,他外在的行为思想必然是积极向上活泼生动的!
.
例子三:修心之后,我自己的思想改正了很多,无私是对,自私是错,因此我的思想行为会很执着于无私。。。于是一些mm立马说我执着。。。其实这种坚持只是外在思想行为上的,正所谓无欲则刚,内在心态上的无所求恰恰会导致思想行为上的坚持,非常奇妙。
.
大家看,历史上那些修心大师们,个个外在的思想行为都是很坚定执着的呀。。。不符合真理的,那就是错误的颠倒的,符合真理的,就是真善美的。。。基督耶稣,释迦牟尼,孔子老子,都是这样的人。。。内心越是无我,外在的思想行为越是坚定如山,无欲则刚啊!
.
当一个人处于这种混沌未开的状态-就是把人内在的心态和外在的思想行为混为一谈,修心的工作就没办法开始了。。。我讲心态,她说思想行为。。。我说思想行为,她又来讲心态。。。因此,想要通过修心来摆脱烦恼,成就今生幸福的童鞋们,一定要先来认真做一个功课,就是学会把人内在的心态和外在的思想行为分割开来,深层次认识一下。。。然后,在自己平时的生活中,多留意观察一下自己,彻底搞明白自己到底有哪些内在的心态以及外在的思想行为。
.
有姐妹问我,外在的思想行为还比较好辨认,但是内在的心态就不容易认清楚了,怎么办?呵呵,人想要看清楚自己的心可不是件容易的事啊!关于这个问题,释迦牟尼老师给的答案很清楚,内在心态的存在形态就是一个字---我! 当一个人有我的时候,是自私的心态,当一个人无我的时候,是无私的心态!修心就是在心态上去除“我”!
.
你也许会马上说,那这个太难了。。。我们从小就被教育,人生的意义是实现自我价值。。。如果去除我的话,那人生还有啥意思呢?呵呵,这个世界真是很奇妙的,人生的意义是实现自我价值这个目标完全正确,不过,实现自我价值恰恰是通过成就无我来完成的!
.
大家来看看历史,秦始皇希特勒亚历山大都是曾经称霸一方的伟人,但是,现在还有谁会拿着他们的思想语录每天学习?相反,基督耶稣,释迦牟尼,老子孔子,在这两千多年之间,无数的人追随他们的脚步,发现了人生的意义,实现了自我的价值,成就了今生的幸福!
.
因此,当你有兴趣来观察一下你自己的心态,你就紧紧抓住这个“我”的原则就行啦。。。如果是从我的角度出发来思想行为,就还是处于自私的心态。。。如果从他人的角度出发来思想行为,那就是无私的心态。。。怎么样,这样就相对容易看清楚自己的心了吧!
.
有姐妹问我,在心态上放下“我”真是件蛮难的事,如何开始修呢?一般来说,从你最在意的东东开始。。。每个人在意的东东都不同,比如这次爸爸去哪里节目中的卷毛胖轩轩,非常可爱自带笑点的好孩子,一个喜欢美女的吃货,一遇到好吃的就走不动路了,只有美女可以让他放下对吃的执着。。。如果轩轩来修心,那他就需要从美女开始,然后是美食。。。再次强调一下,不是不让他见美女吃美食,只是让他心态上放下对美女美食的执著和贪心来更好的享受美女美食!
.
虽然每个人在意的东东都有不同,但是这个世界上大致的东东基本是以下几点:
1)情关 - 包括一切人类的感情,亲情,爱情,友情
2)名关 - 这是指声望名望
3)金钱关
4)色欲关 - 这包括食和性(食色性也)
.
总的来说,男女有别,各自修心的关卡有些不同。。。对于男人修心的关卡,从难到易的排序是,名关,金钱关,色欲关,情关。。。对于女人修心的关卡,从难到易的排序是,情关,名关,金钱关,色欲关。。。华人上以姐妹为主,就来细说一下这个女人第一大难关,情关。
.
我姨妈修心几十年,我自己修心之后,侧面观察了一下她,发现她对金钱关和色欲关做得比较好,其次是名关,情关做得最不好,她对于自己的孩子执着心还是蛮明显的。。。女人要想放下对自己男人,对自己孩子的贪心和执着,一定要好好地认清自己的心!
.
有个姐妹来找我,说她前夫在他们的婚姻中,一直对她无微不至爱护有加,有一段时间让她觉得她前夫是这个世界上最爱她的人,爱她的程度甚至超过她的父母,可是,她前夫突然变心,有了小三出轨,然后果断与她离婚,和小三结婚双宿双飞了。。。她非常想不通,怎么一个人会如此快地变心呢?她前夫过去对她的爱是不是真的呢?
.
想要辨认真爱,还是要牢牢抓住“我”的原则。。。如果一个男人是出自自我的欲望来爱你,那这爱是假的靠不住的。。。今天他爱你是因为你可以在某种程度上满足他自我的欲望,明天出现一个能够更好满足他自我欲望的人,那他立马就与你byebye啦!相反,如果一个男人是出自你来爱你,那这种爱才是真爱,是可以经历一切逆境和病痛,直到死亡才把你们分开!可是,现代人自私的太多了,大部分的夫妻都是怀着一颗私心搭伙过个日子,大难临头各自飞,或是遇到个更能够满足自我欲望的人,立马就动心。。。姐妹们要看清楚,这些都不是真爱,都是假爱!能够看清楚,就比较容易放下啦!再次强调,放下爱情并不是让你离婚或是不要结婚,而是通过婚姻感情看清楚人内心的“我”。
.
那怎么样才算是修破情关呢?释迦牟尼老师给的答案是,没有分别心。。。我个人的体会是这个分别心有好几个层次,首先是各种感情没有分别,就是亲情爱情友情都是没有分别的。。。其次是更深一点的层面,有和没有亲情爱情友情也是没有分别的。
.
达赖在他的书中写道,每个人都是他的家人。。。是啊,你心中亲情爱情友情有分别,有没有亲情爱情友情有分别,这都是因为你还是有自我的欲望!现在我每天都在练习除去这个分别心,比如当我想一个关于我儿子的事情,我会查觉到“我”又来了,于是我会调整自己,把他带入朋友的孩子来思考,如果他是朋友的孩子,我会如何来处理这件事情。。。每一种感情的边缘渐渐变得模糊起来,会真实感受到其实各种情感之间没啥差别。。。对于目前的我来说,有和没有亲情爱情友情还是有很大分别的,不知道我这世能不能修到有和没有也是没有分别的,随缘吧!
.
首先再来强调一下破情关是让人放下对于感情的贪心和执着,而不是说要求人什么感情都不要,做一个薄情寡义的人。。。其实很多时候,我们恰恰是因为自己对于感情的贪心和执着,而成为一个薄情寡义的人。。。一旦放下对于感情的贪心和执着,才能够更理智平衡地做一个重情重义的人!
.
修心破情关对于大部分女人来说,是件非常难的事,大部分女人对于各种感情会不由自主的起贪心和执着。。。为什么呢?我自己也是个女人,自己亲身经历过年少时期甜蜜的男女情爱,也经历过十月怀胎的母子亲情,还经历过与我老妈患难与共的母女情。。。当我细想这些情感的时候,我都在考虑是什么让我那么贪心和执着,没有的时候拼命想要有,有的时候拼命想要事事如我所愿!我自己修心之后,就很清楚地看到这种贪心和执着来自于我内在的感知。。。是我自己的六根,眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意(这个意包括我的意识思想)与环境相接触而产生的内心感知。。。比如,我和我老公恋爱的时候很甜蜜,说不完的话,那种甜蜜的感知通过六根带给我,产生快乐的内心感知,于是,我会起贪心执着,不想让这种快乐结束。。。再比如,我和我儿子在一起的时候,我儿子总是很贴心,我喜欢吃的他也喜欢,我做完饭,他会大声说感谢,然后很享受地吃饭,这种接触通过我的六根带给我很多快乐的内心感知,于是,我会起贪心执着,不想让这种快乐结束。。。女人天生就是感情动物,一旦尝过种种感情的快乐,就很容易上瘾(好比吸毒一样),沦落成为感情的奴隶啦!
.
在修心前,我并不意识到我的贪心执着来自于内心的感知,我只是傻傻地认为自己在贪求和执着的是外部的事物(比如一个好的婚姻,一个好的孩子,等等)。。。修心之后,突然明白,原来我所有的烦恼都是来自于内心对于追求贪恋这种快乐感知的毒瘾,我的心被这种毒瘾所控制,无法解脱。。。求有所得时,快乐,求不得时,烦恼!
.
明白了这种毒瘾之后,立刻立志开始戒毒(放下对感情的贪心和执着)。。。戒毒的方式有很多,各种宗教都有其独特的方式,有方便法也有究竟法,我自己试过很多种,在这个帖子里面,就不一一例举了。。。每个人的情况不同,需要1)观察自己,清楚明白你的烦恼不是来自于你没有一个好老公,或是没有一个好孩子,而是来自于你自己对感情的贪心和执着。。。2)开始尝试不同的方式,来帮助自己戒毒!
.
那有姐妹会问我,想要一个好老公不是很正常吗?这难道也是贪心执着吗?呵呵,每个人的人生都是不一样的,如果你的命中没有这样一个你想要的好老公,那你自我的欲望就成了贪心执着啦!不是吗?
.
这个帖子我继续分享我学习释迦牟尼老师的究竟法,止观双运,很简单,两个部分:
1)静下心来,观察自己的内心,觉知自我的感知 (这个部分可以依靠打坐站桩来帮助静心)
2)修炼平等心(没有分别心)- 就是遇到了快乐的感知,不企盼它会持续;遇到了烦恼的感知,也不企盼它会消失。(这个部分需要深层体悟宇宙自然的无我和无常)
.
就如同站桩锻炼气血一样,这样每天锻炼心的力量,让心越来越清净,找到自己人生的平衡点,最终做回自己的主人!
.
.
只是修心与修身一样,光是纸上谈兵是没用的,一定需要靠自己实实在在地每天坚持修行。。。就好比站桩,你一偷懒,气血就给你点颜色瞧瞧!呵呵。。。因此,如果你只是在学习书面知识,而在日常生活中没有行动,那修心的结果肯定是不如意的啦!再次劝大家,每天多做善事,每天多观察自己的心。。。心还不够静的人,每天可以多坚持打坐站桩,先把心慢慢静下来,否则根本看不清楚自己的心呢!然后,就可以开始内观练习平等心啦!
.
有人说我写的这些是心灵鸡汤,我只能呵呵。。。心灵鸡汤是那些只给结果,却没有提供方式的东东。。。我写的这些都是有方式方法告诉你如果如何通过具体方式来成就结果的,只是我讲的这些方式方法很难被一些人接受,然后会自动屏蔽这些方式方法,主观的把我的帖子变成心灵鸡汤。。。这是很可惜的!希望大家都能够努力尝试这些方法,如果在尝试的过程中,有问题,我们还可以单独讨论。。。不过,如果你自己做不到坚持行善,坚持站在别人的角度考虑问题,或是坚持静心观心,那神仙也没有办法啦!所以说,做人还是要自强不息,自求多福!与大家共勉吧,最后谢谢阅读!
.
在华人自三月开贴,至今已经六个月,总共写了十二篇帖子。。。本来打算写到明年一月,但是,近日察觉开贴机缘已尽,感叹人之渺小,只能随缘收笔。。。我接下来准备继续闭门思过,好好修心,待来日再有机缘来华人开贴,为华人姐妹服务。。。当然,我会继续上华人的(只是暂时没有开贴的计划),如果任何人有修心方面的东东想要找人交流,或是遇到事情想要解卦的童鞋,欢迎随时用华人短信与我联系,我会每天check一下华人短信,并尽我最大的能力来为大家服务。。。再次谢谢大家!
最后用两个mm给我的回复作为这个修心系列的结尾吧,请大家看到修心修身怡养性情并不是空中楼阁或是世外桃园,而就是我们平时一点一滴的生活!最后,祝福大家都越来越幸福!

楼主的马甲,你好
看来楼主不仅会水仙术, 还是老顽童
修心贵在坚持啊.. 每个月初会小修一下,之后忙着忙那总觉得没时间就退回起点。
呵呵,下次遇到类似情况,无需解释的。。。老顽童不是很好嘛,嘻嘻
一个人每天都会有变化,不是越变越自私,就是越变越无私。。。因此,大方向很重要。
因果要搞明白。。。因为一个人有私心,所以,才会对现状不满意,产生烦恼。
当一个人对现状不满意,有烦恼的时候,只有向内求把这个私心修没了,才能从根本上解决烦恼问题。
你现在的大方向还是错的,因此会有很多不满意,动不动就烦恼,不是吗?
俺就是越变越自私型的,也不知为啥
人生的大方向就是两种,一种是自私,另一种是无私。。。当你的大方向是自私的时候,当然是越变越自私。
只有你改变自己的大方向,发心要把自己改造成为一个无私的人,你才可能渐渐无私起来。。。如果你不发心,就只能越来越自私啦。。。这就是很多老人非常自私的原因。
每个人都喜欢与无私的人相处,讨厌与自私的人交往。。。我相信你也一定是这样的,不是吗?因此,快点行动起来,把自己改造成为一个比较无私的人吧!加油!
mm说的很对。。。mm悟性高慧根好,对于自我的欲望看得比较清楚,能够明白清楚地知道自己有烦恼是因为自己的私心。。。因此,可以随时修!
可是,这个版上的很多人还是活得很混沌的,自己有烦恼了,就是别人的错,或是自己的命不好。。。还很难看到自我的欲望。。。所以,我才写了又写,希望能够从不同的角度,揭示一下人自我的欲望吧。
其实,你就是想,我不换,干嘛就要找我换,做了这个决定,就不去想了,不就可以了吗?
或者,ok,我与人为善,我跟你换,完了。
而且,我觉得这也只是幸福的诸多模式中的一种,有的人可能就是自私她/他才快乐,只有占了便宜才快乐,(当然这个只是我的臆想)。我只是想说,快乐幸福对不同的人可能有不同的定义,如果我们能够让大家都认同无私,帮助别人是快乐的,那当然很好。但是,这个世上很多种不同的价值观,人生观,有的人可能就是要自己比别人过得好,别人都不如自己才开心。这种情况可能还很普遍呢,因为羡慕嫉妒恨大概是很普遍的人类的情绪了吧。
可能有的人一辈子就这样觉得自己比别人好,“快快乐乐”的过了一辈子。
不好意思,叨叨了这些,只是想说,这样的想法(无私,帮助别人来达到自己的快乐)非常好,但是这样的劝说并不是太有说服力。
我说的是幸福,并不是快乐。
满足自我的欲望当然会让人产生快乐,要不然怎么会这么多人执着于自我的欲望呢?比如,我好想要个Chanel的包包,然后我买了,好快乐。。。但是,这种快乐只是短暂的。
无私给人带来的是长久的幸福。
如果用个例子来说明的话,自私就好比是毒品,只是给人带来一时的快乐罢了。
这个需要具体问题具体分析。。。不能一概而论。
比如现在很多妈妈对于孩子都太过执着了,孩子不上私立学校,认为就会对小孩不利。。。其实,这种想法本身就是错的。
如果你有需要帮助,你要先说一下具体是个啥情况,只有了解情况本身,才能知道怎么做。
我现在的感觉是尽量为别人考虑很有意思哦,一下子就看清楚了很多事情。看见大家和自己挣扎挺好笑的。等我过了阵子有突破回来分享哈。
不过话说回来,我中毒好深啊。
是的,修心的目的是成为一个无私的人,但是手段是开悟智慧!
其实,做善事就是为了开悟智慧!只是开悟智慧不容易,所以,机缘不够的人只能够从做善事开始做起。
You are on the right track!!!!
你一求回报,就起私心,于是烦恼缠身啦!
这是事实啊。。。求不到的时候,痛苦。。。求到的时候,快乐。。。不是与吸毒的人一模一样吗?
修心的过程与戒毒瘾的过程没啥大区别,嘻嘻
无私是指无私给予,利益众生。。。自己就是众生的一员,利益众生就是利益自己!
修心的终极目的是超越二元对立。。。自私和无私是二元对立世界的一种对立存在,一旦超越,就不存在自私无私一说,自私无私成为一体了。
马上看!
是的,一旦没有“我”,啥都没有分别的啦。
我现在修心,就是修分别心。。。在心态上,我自己的老妈与邻居大妈没有分别。。。自己的孩子与邻居的孩子没有分别。。。效果超好,很容易就淡定随缘,少执着少烦恼!
有个速效的办法,就是把今天当中生命的最后一天来活。。。那你立马就会放下很多东东,轻松愉快起来!
你要多问问自己,如果今天是你最后一天,你还会计较这个算计那个吗?
没有你的无私帮助我现在估计还在不开心中呢:)
现在看着树啊,小花小草什么的渐渐觉得好有爱.
你现在真是超有爱啊!我为你做得那么少,基本都是物来则应物去不留的。。。其实,修心是一个自己改变自己的大工程,都是你自己的努力,是你自己的功劳,当然,享受幸福结果的也是你自己!太为你骄傲了!
烦恼和快乐都是来源于有“我”。。。修心的本质是除去这个“我”。
当你开始忽略烦恼和快乐的时候,就说明你对自我的抓取程度在减轻。
如果你能够彻底把“我”修没了,那你就会完全忽略烦恼和快乐,荣辱不惊,自由自在,幸福美满!
行为上我比以前对别人更好了 也包括家人老公和身边所有人 因为放下我了嘛 有了更多的耐心和精力对别人好 可是我自己什么感觉也没有 觉得心里最柔软的地方上了锁一样
lz我以前是个多愁善感 感情老丰富的人了 难道我这辈子感情都被我用完了么 我心里清楚多愁善感带给我很多烦恼 所以那个心不敢动 但是自己不太适应啊。。
你目前正在调整心的方向,当然会先冷下来,等方向调整对了,又会渐渐热起来。
就好比开火车,你开着开着,发现方向错了,你总是需要先停下来,然后转180度,再重新启动,不是吗?
心态上放下情爱,并不代表人生中没有情爱。。。我觉得我自己修心之后,反而能够更好地享受我生活中的各种情爱。。。父母之情,夫妻之情,母子之情,朋友之情!
呵呵,真是好垂头沮丧的感觉!
我前面说过,修心的过程蛮像戒毒的过程。。。我有个很要好的朋友,她做近视眼激光手术的时候,出了一点意外,医生只能给用一些很轻量的“毒品”来控制手术的进程。。。完了之后,我朋友对我说,这次她真是明白为啥那么多人会对毒品上瘾,真是一下子麻醉你的大脑,让你忘记一切痛苦,有种飘飘欲仙的快乐感。。。我问她,这种感觉与爱情的感觉比较,哪个更好?她说这个更快,而且快感更多。。。我又问她,那这种感觉与sex时高潮的感觉比较,哪个更好?她说毒品给人飘飘欲仙的感觉,更持久,而且是种很舒服的飘飘欲仙,而感官上的高潮感有种压迫的短暂感,不令人放松,因此,还是毒品更好!
我想这就是为啥很多人可以啥都不要(抛弃妻子)地去吸毒的原因吧!有了这种又快又好的快乐,为啥还要有情爱呢?但是,毒品给人带来多大的快乐,也可以带来多大的痛苦。不修心超越二元对立的世界,快乐和痛苦都是结伴而来的!很多人承受不了毒品的巨大痛苦,只能戒毒。
如果你修心是因为无法承受你生命中的痛苦,你的大方向还是错的。。。那你戒毒的过程会非常痛苦,你还没有清楚地看到毒品之后你自我的欲望,你的注意力还是在毒品本身,于是你心里还是会非常贪恋毒品给你带来的那种快乐。。。这不是修心之道!
真正的修心是你开悟智慧,通过毒品看到自我的欲望,那么你才有可能放下欲望,彻底把毒给戒了!
从心态上来说,任何情都是一样的,都是你的意识与外界相碰触产生的东东。。。你认为不一样,是因为你自己内心的欲望!
mm说得真好,所以佛家常说很多世俗的快乐不是真正的快乐,本质上还是苦,皆是虚妄,只有放下一切,才能获得真正自在圆满。
推荐一下这篇文章,写得通俗易懂,用一种比较明白的方式解答了我们究竟要戒什么,如何戒,如何修心
这个作者还去参加过十天的闭关冥想,很有意思,值得一看:
http://www.dennythecow.com/?p=547
http://www.dennythecow.com/?p=559
http://www.dennythecow.com/?p=572
嗯,你现在的情况,如果多参加讨论,会帮助你看清自己的心!
说的是啊
四大皆空是指心态上的方下。。。不是你现在想象的-啥也没有的人生状态
真真假假,颠来倒去。。。当我38岁修心,发现我从出生到38岁所认为的真其实都是假的时候,我觉得人生实在是太有意思,太精彩啦!
修心不是要淡化自己的意识对外界的感受。。。相反,当心静定到一定程度,心中一片澄清的时候,心对外界的感知会变得越发敏锐。。。这方面我自己的体会就很深,我发现我自己修心之后,很容易觉知别人在想什么,看人心看得比以前清楚多了。。。这也是为什么我会鼓励大家去找功力深的禅师学习禅定,因为,修心功力深的禅师可以很清楚地看清你心的情况,然后在你需要帮助的时候,给予你适当的帮助。
你目前的情况是,你自我的欲望还比较重,心的觉知能力还比较弱,一遇到诱惑,会深陷其中,难以自拔。。。因此我会建议你先physically远离诱惑,把外界的诱惑屏蔽一下,帮助你把心静下来。
呵呵,不必着急嘛。。。人生那么长,而且还不断轮回,就是因为修心不是一朝一夕的事。。。有了觉悟上的改变已经是一个很大的进步啦,为你骄傲!
呵呵,你老公是上天派来帮你修心的人呢!如果不是他,你也不会有烦恼,来逛我的帖子,不是吗?因此,老公顺心,好事也是坏事。。。老公烦心,坏事也是好事!
mm说得真好。。。你在生活中这样实实在在地不断地调整自我的心态,就是最好的修心啦!我真是非常为你骄傲!
我自己也是这样过来的,我一直说我老公就是上天赏我的一面镜子,每天照一照,就可以看到我自己的智慧和慈悲心有没有进步!其实,当你变化的时候,他也在变化的。。。我老公在我开始修心前一段时间脾气暴得不行,现在一年多过去了,他基本都能够控制住自己不发脾气了,当他有情绪上来的时候,我就微笑着看着他,他的心也就安静下来一些。
修心是为了修己安人啊,先把自己的一颗心安下来,然后用自己的正能量帮助周围的人安心。。。win win的大好事,你说呢?加油!
再次感谢mm为众生服务的心。。。鞠躬
去看了一眼,是不是孩子不尊重妈妈的帖子?
我儿子从小的时候,如果不尊重父母,就是一顿惩罚,因此,他知道尊重父母的重要性。
孩子不尊重父母,都是父母自己惯孩子的结果。。。自己种的因,只有自己品尝苦果。。。唯一的建议是,父母从今天开始改变自己。。。具体如何改变自己,那需要具体的人具体分析啦。
宗教就是一个工具。。。有的人用这个工具来修心放下欲望,那自然是吉祥的。。。有的人用这个工具来培养自己的权势,满足个人的欲望,那肯定是凶险的。
人生的意义是在这复杂多变的尘世中,明白一个道理,就是只要你放下你自我的欲望,你就可以成就今生的幸福!与任何人任何事都没有半毛钱的关系!
你现在的状态是你的心还在向外求,希望让宗教来拯救你,拯救这个世界。。。这种向外求的心是根本错误的,一定会给你带来失望!你需要改变大方向,明白宗教只是一个工具,你只有自己拯救自己,人类只有自己拯救人类!等你把你人生的大方向搞对了,你才会真正体会到正能量的来源。。。我可以很明确的告诉你,正能量不是来源于宗教,而是来源于人的心!
同样是宗教徒。。。请姐妹看一看这位宗教徒的修心感悟吧。
达真堪布:佛子之慧,君子之交
跟众生交往的时候,要保持适度。既不能过于亲密,也不能对他们有怨恨。所谓不能过度亲密,是指不能以贪爱心去接触。所谓不能有怨恨,是指不能舍弃众生。
我们应该以慈心和悲心跟他们接触,保持适度。放下一切众生是智慧,不放弃一个众生是慈悲。既不是贪爱,也不是舍弃。
若是有智慧,就没有贪爱了。所谓智慧,是指无我、空性的智慧。你若证悟了无我,证悟了空性,就没有了人我执和法我执,也就没有我执我爱了。没有我执我爱,就没有自私自利;没有自私自利,就没有所谓的贪爱。有智慧就没有贪爱,不贪爱世间,不贪爱亲友。
若是没有贪爱,会不会远离众生,舍弃众生啊?不会。不放弃一个众生,这是慈悲心,有慈悲心还能舍弃众生吗?所谓慈悲心,是要拔除一切众生的痛苦,给予一切众生安乐。只要有慈悲心,就不会舍弃众生。
作为一个大乘修行人,应该既能“放下一切”,又能“不放弃一切”。不能放弃,但是要放下自私,放下贪欲。自私和贪欲是一种狭隘的心。
我们之所以会处处生烦恼,处处遇到问题,就是因为我们的心胸太狭隘了。如果你能把心量打开,把整个法界视为自己的家,把一切众生视为自己的家人,以慈心和悲心去接触众生,跟众生交流,就不会有这些矛盾和烦恼了。应该把自己的心态修炼得像大山那样稳重,像大海那样广阔。
谢谢信息,读了之后,觉得十天的禅修内观课很棒。。。立马上网查了一下,发现有一个教学点与我家只有3-4个小时的车程,已经订了感恩节的十天课程,准备也去感受一下十天只是内观(其他啥也不做)的人生!
呵呵,我现在自己每天都有戒定慧的修行,可是平时生活太忙,所以,定功修得还差火候。。。去这样的闭关修炼课,其实对于修炼定功帮助很大的。。。如果好的话,可以一年去修几次,反正也不远,开车三个小时就到了。。。而且特别喜欢这种没有任何宗教外衣的修行方式,真正的修心确实不需要任何宗教。。。等我感恩节修回来,12月份的帖子可以专门写一写心得体会。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
猪舌头姐妹,如果你有空的话,也可以去尝试着上一下这个课,我替你看了一下,加州有三个教学点,而且,整个课程的吃住都是免费的,你只要有时间就可以去参加。。。与其那么痛苦地自我挣扎,不如去experience一些不同的课程。。。或许会有突飞猛进的改变!

佛经贴我跪求过大家去禅修, 10天闭关很短, 但是对很多人来说要适应的
下面这个the cold of discipline看过了吗?10天你是不能站桩的, 做瑜伽的, 不能用手机和任何人联系, 不能上网, 时间表是按照僧侣的作息的, 不能听音乐, 看任何东西, 和写任何东西的
葛老的课 是不讲行禅的, 运动会很少
多了解了解吧, 不要太impulsive, 对自己负责吧
我看到过1-2天就drop out 的人,。 也听到过有人sneak 手机进去打电话的
10天不是vacation, 不是总是轻松愉快的
The Code of Discipline[p=27, null, left]The foundation of the practice is sīla — moral conduct. Sīla provides a basis for the development of samādhi — concentration of mind; and purification of the mind is achieved through paññā — the wisdom of insight.
The Precepts
[p=27, null, left]All who attend a Vipassana course must conscientiously undertake the following five precepts for the duration of the course:
to abstain from killing any being;
to abstain from stealing;
to abstain from all sexual activity;
to abstain from telling lies;
to abstain from all intoxicants.
[p=27, null, left]There are three additional precepts which old students (that is, those who have completed a course with S.N. Goenka or one of his assistant teachers) are expected to follow during the course:
to abstain from eating after midday;
to abstain from sensual entertainment and bodily decorations;
to abstain from using high or luxurious beds.
[p=27, null, left]Old students will observe the sixth precept by having tea without milk or fruit juice at the 5 p.m. break, whereas new student may have tea with milk and some fruit. The teacher may excuse an old student from observing this precept for health reasons. The seventh and eighth precept will be observed by all.
Acceptance of the Teacher and the Technique[p=27, null, left]Students must declare themselves willing to comply fully and for the duration of the course with the teacher's guidance and instructions; that is, to observe the discipline and to meditate exactly as the teacher asks, without ignoring any part of the instructions, nor adding anything to them. This acceptance should be one of discrimination and understanding, not blind submission. Only with an attitude of trust can a student work diligently and thoroughly. Such confidence in the teacher and the technique is essential for success in meditation.
Other Techniques, Rites, and Forms of Worship[p=27, null, left]During the course it is absolutely essential that all forms of prayer, worship, or religious ceremony — fasting, burning incense, counting beads, reciting mantras, singing and dancing, etc. — be discontinued. All other meditation techniques and healing or spiritual practices should also be suspended. This is not to condemn any other technique or practice, but to give a fair trial to the technique of Vipassana in its purity.
[p=27, null, left]Students are strongly advised that deliberately mixing other techniques of meditation with Vipassana will impede and even reverse their progress. Despite repeated warnings by the teacher, there have been cases in the past where students have intentionally mixed this technique with a ritual or another practice, and have done themselves a great disservice. Any doubts or confusion which may arise should always be clarified by meeting with the teacher.
Interviews With the Teacher[p=27, null, left]The teacher is available to meet students privately between 12 Noon and 1:00 p.m. Questions may also be asked in public between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. in the meditation hall. The interview and question times are for clarifying the technique and for questions arising from the evening discourses.
Noble Silence[p=27, null, left]All students must observe Noble Silence from the beginning of the course until the morning of the last full day. Noble Silence means silence of body, speech, and mind. Any form of communication with fellow student, whether by gestures, sign language, written notes, etc., is prohibited.
[p=27, null, left]Students may, however, speak with the teacher whenever necessary and they may approach the management with any problems related to food, accommodation, health, etc. But even these contacts should be kept to a minimum. Students should cultivate the feeling that they are working in isolation.
Separation of Men and Women[p=27, null, left]Complete segregation of men and women is to be maintained. Couples, married or otherwise, should not contact each other in any way during the course. The same applies to friends, members of the same family, etc.
Physical Contact[p=27, null, left]It is important that throughout the course there be no physical contact whatsoever between persons of the same or opposite sex.
Yoga and Physical Exercise[p=27, null, left]Although physical yoga and other exercises are compatible with Vipassana, they should be suspended during the course because proper secluded facilities are not available at the course site. Jogging is also not permitted. Students may exercise during rest periods by walking in the designated areas.
Religious Objects, Rosaries, Crystals, Talismans, etc.[p=27, null, left]No such items should be brought to the course site. If brought inadvertently they should be deposited with the management for the duration of the course.
Intoxicants and Drugs[p=27, null, left]No drugs, alcohol, or other intoxicants should be brought to the site; this also applies to tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and all other sedatives. Those taking medicines or drugs on a doctor's prescription should notify the teacher.
Tobacco[p=27, null, left]For the health and comfort of all students, smoking, chewing tobacco, and taking snuff are not permitted at the course.
Food[p=27, null, left]It is not possible to satisfy the special food preferences and requirements of all the meditators. Students are therefore kindly requested to make do with the simple vegetarian meals provided. The course management endeavors to prepare a balanced, wholesome menu suitable for meditation. If any students have been prescribed a special diet because of ill-health, they should inform the management at the time of application. Fasting is not permitted.
Clothing[p=27, null, left]Dress should be simple, modest, and comfortable. Tight, transparent, revealing, or otherwise striking clothing (such as shorts, short skirts, tights and leggings, sleeveless or skimpy tops) should not be worn. Sunbathing and partial nudity are not permitted. This is important in order to minimize distraction to others.
Laundry and Bathing[p=27, null, left]No washing machines or dryers are available, so students should bring sufficient clothing. Small items can be hand-washed. Bathing and laundry may be done only in the break periods and not during meditation hours.
Outside Contacts[p=27, null, left]Students must remain within the course boundaries throughout the course. They may leave only with the specific consent of the teacher. No outside communications is allowed before the course ends. This includes letters, phone calls and visitors. Cell phones, pagers, and other electronic devices must be deposited with the management until the course ends. In case of an emergency, a friend or relative may contact the management.
Music, Reading and Writing[p=27, null, left]The playing of musical instruments, radios, etc. is not permitted. No reading or writing materials should be brought to the course. Students should not distract themselves by taking notes. The restriction on reading and writing is to emphasize the strictly practical nature of this meditation.
Recording Devices and Cameras[p=27, null, left]These may not be used except with the express permission of the teacher.
Course Finances[p=27, null, left]According to the tradition of pure Vipassana, courses are run solely on a donation basis. Donations are accepted only from those who have completed at least one ten-day course with S.N. Goenka or one of his assisting teachers. Someone taking the course for the first time may give a donation on the last day of the course or any time thereafter.
[p=27, null, left]In this way courses are supported by those who have realized for themselves the benefits of the practice. Wishing to share these benefits with others, one gives a donation according to one's means and volition. Such donations are the only source of funding for course in this tradition around the world. There is no wealthy foundation or individual sponsoring them. Neither the teachers nor the organizers receive any kind of payment for their service. Thus, the spread of Vipassana is carried out with purity of purpose, free from any commercialism.
[p=27, null, left]Whether a donation is large or small, it should be given with the wish to help others: 'The course I have taken has been paid for through the generosity of past students; now let me give something towards the cost of a future course, so that others may also benefit by this technique.'
Summary[p=27, null, left]To clarify the spirit behind the discipline and rules, they may be summarized as follows:
[p=27, null, left]Take great care that your actions do not disturb anyone. Take no notice of distractions caused by others.
[p=27, null, left]It may be that a student cannot understand the practical reasons for one or several of the above rules. Rather than allow negativity and doubt to develop, immediate clarification should be sought from the teacher.
[p=27, null, left]It is only by taking a disciplined approach and by making maximum effort that a student can fully grasp the practice and benefit from it. The emphasis during the course is on work. A golden rule is to meditate as if one were alone, with one's mind turned inward, ignoring any inconveniences and distractions that one may encounter.
[p=27, null, left]Finally, students should note that their progress in Vipassana depends solely on their own good qualities and personal development and on five factors: earnest efforts, confidence, sincerity, health and wisdom.
[p=27, null, left]May the above information help you to obtain maximum benefit from your meditation course. We are happy to have the opportunity to serve, and wish you peace and harmony from your experience of Vipassana.
THE COURSE TIMETABLE[p=27, null, left]The following timetable for the course has been designed to maintain the continuity of practice. For best results students are advised to follow it as closely as possible.
[p=27, null, left]You may download a copy of the above Code of Discipline in Adobe Acrobat format here for careful reading and review before you register for a course. You may apply for a Vipassana meditation course by completing and submitting an application for a scheduled course.
学佛不是万金油, 有问题, 哪里涂涂就可以解决的
有时候可能看点心理方面的书, 可能更直接一点
呵呵,多谢指教。。。
我现在回到学校了,在一个村,看了一下,周围5小时之内都没有。
不知道为什么,现在physically 远离引起我烦恼的人之后,我更加肆无忌惮了。因为无法在行为上犯错,所以也不去费力气纠正自己了。
我老公让我伤心那么久,我就抱着对感情的幻想一直无休止的付出。直到我发现情爱这个东西本就不是多么重要。而自己的心已经很久没在正路上走一走了。
你说得对,为感情而活是自私的,这种自私掏空了我的所有耐心。
道理我可能都明白,但是我现在根本就不在一个平衡的状态下。除了站桩和做好事以外,我好像就只想平静一下。
luckily 我们村就有一个庙 我想一两个小时的meditation也是很有帮助的。
你好,如果心中有结,修心会让心结淡化甚至于变得不值一提,还是会增长智慧,从另一个角度看待问题,然后自己解开困惑呢?
亲,这很正常,安啦按啦,慢慢来。。。你现在的心还比较浮,没法开智慧。。。因此我想着反正你上着学,老公马上也颠回国了,又没有孩子,正好抽这个空赶快抓紧时间修。。。等你读完书,找工作生孩子买房子,那之后几年时间就不够用啦。。。我看了一下,这个课程是每个月都有开的,还有三天的课,不是都需要十天的,你可以有空就去坐坐,或是去做义工为大家服务,顺便结识一些与你有缘的同修,对你很有益处的哟!我也准备去我家附近这个做义工呢!把偶儿子带上一起做义工!嘻嘻
另外,我觉得蛮奇怪的,加州本来就不大,我们以前从san diego开到san Francisco也只有八个小时。。。而且,我看了一下,这三个教学点分别是在北加,中加和南加,照理说无论如何车程3-4小时之内就会有啊。。。你会不会地址没看清楚?要不你短信给我你的地址,我再帮你看一下,你现在这么大好的修心时间,不做一些实打实地修行,太白瞎啦!
我自己的体会是一两个小时和几天或是十天的修行,是很不同的。。。当然,这两种也不矛盾,可以同时进行嘛!
会增长智慧,从另一个角度看待问题,然后自己解开困惑
这就是我一直说的超越二元对立的世界观。。。修慧,把分别心修没了,就是让自己超越二元对立的世界观,从一个全新的角度来体会人生。
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
你可能会想,那么我在思想上,不“贪”、不“嗔”,不就好了吗?
理论上是的,但问题是你做不到。
做不到的原因是你可能都没察觉到,真正迷恋或厌恶的,是身体最深层的感知。而察觉不到,又是因为我们对于识、想、受、行的整个发生过程完全无知,对于身体内在的感知也完全缺乏觉知能力。因此,我们一直纠结于最表象的图像、言语、思想、回忆。
这种无知,就是人们常说的中所谓的“无明“,也就是“三毒“中的最后一毒:“痴”。
所以一切的一切从“无明“起,「内观」便是释迦摩尼同学作为一个智者,发现的破解无知的方法——通过向内观察最自然、真实、根本的感知来培养对根本感知的意识(Awareness)和平等心(Equanimity),从而达到“无无明”。这样人才能主动把智商用起来,而不是被“贪”、“嗔”被动控制。
这一切都和后来的加入了很多神的宗教无关。
而中文中所谓的“禅“,出自巴利语的“禅那”(jhana)。修行“禅那”的方法只有两个:”奢摩他“与”毗婆舍那“,中文称之为“止观二学“。
止,也就是“修定”,也就是奢摩他,Samadhi。
观,也就是“内观”,也就是毗婆舍那,Vipassana。
这,就是冥想最纯净的全部。
