﻿翻译&字幕：全新的地球字幕组⊂↹⊃Sitting Together in Presence A Meditation with Eckhart Tolle
欢迎来到我们的直播冥想⊂↹⊃welcome to our live meditation
今天我在丹麦⊂↹⊃I'm in Denmark today
在我们的直播冥想中，我们只关注一件事⊂↹⊃we're only interested in one thing here for our live meditation
那就是一起坐着，不是物质层面的一起⊂↹⊃and that is to sit together not physically together
而是一起临在⊂↹⊃but nevertheless together in presence
思考在这儿不重要⊂↹⊃thinking is not important here
尽可能毫不费力地放下思考⊂↹⊃as much as possible let go of thinking without any effort
并且意识到，当你没在思考的时候，你是更完整的自己⊂↹⊃and realize that you are more fully yourself when you're not thinking
当你不思考的时候⊂↹⊃and when you're not thinking
你能意识到，“在”是什么，“在”意味着什么⊂↹⊃you can realize what being is what it means to be
你能感知到你的存在⊂↹⊃and you can sense the being that you are
你的存在可以用动词的第一人称“我是”来表达它⊂↹⊃which can be expressed as the first person singular of the verb to be I am
所以，你感知，或者你就是先于思考的临在⊂↹⊃so your sense or you are the presence prior to thinking
澄澈的临在空间⊂↹⊃the clear space of presence
这就是为何我们在此⊂↹⊃that's why we're here
要成为临在空间，要意识到我们就是临在空间⊂↹⊃to be that to realize that we are that
当我坐在这里时，我没有思考⊂↹⊃I don't think as I sit here
这些话直接来源于宁静⊂↹⊃the words just come out of the stillness
在这些话之前，没有任何思考⊂↹⊃there's no thinking prior to the words
话一说出来⊂↹⊃and as soon as a word has been uttered
就保持临在或者宁静⊂↹⊃this just presence or stillness
所以，你可以加入我⊂↹⊃so you can join me in that
现在我不需要思考，你也不需要思考⊂↹⊃as I don't need to think you don't need to think right now
只是保持临在⊂↹⊃but just be present
伟大的导师拉玛那·玛哈希⊂↹⊃the great teacher Ramana Maharshi
20世纪初在印度教学⊂↹⊃who taught during the first half of the 20th century in India
他静修处的一位来访者曾问过他一个问题⊂↹⊃was once asked by a visitor to his ashram this question
“我如何知道我是否在灵修道路上取得了进步呢”⊂↹⊃how do I know whether I'm making progress on the spiritual path
他回答道⊂↹⊃and he said
无念的程度⊂↹⊃the degree of absence of thought
是你在灵修道路上进步的唯一真正的标准⊂↹⊃is the only true criterion for your progress on the spiritual path
换言之，你在每日生活里能在多大程度上从思维中解脱出来⊂↹⊃the extent in other words to which you are free of thought in daily life
无论何时需要思维，你仍然能够使用它⊂↹⊃still able to use thought whenever it's needed
比你以前使用得更有效、更有创造力⊂↹⊃perfectly more efficiently than before more creatively
因为你接触到了未受制约的智性本身，也就是临在⊂↹⊃because you have access to the unconditioned intelligence itself which is presence
你能在冥想中坐多久？⊂↹⊃how long you can sit in meditation
正式的冥想并不是灵修进步的一个好标准⊂↹⊃formal meditation is not a good criterion for progress on the spiritual path
而是，「临在」在多大程度上融入到了你的日常生活⊂↹⊃but to what extent presence comes into your daily life
首先是临在的细微时刻⊂↹⊃which initially made us mean little moments of presence
在你生活的所有活动中⊂↹⊃in between all the doings of your life
保持觉知、警觉、宁静的细微时刻⊂↹⊃little moments of being awareness alertness alert stillness
有意识地看事物⊂↹⊃conscious consciously looking at something
有意识地听⊂↹⊃consciously listening
有意识地穿过房间⊂↹⊃consciously walking across the room
有意识地洗手⊂↹⊃consciously washing your hands
意思并不是说⊂↹⊃which does not mean
当你穿过房间的时候⊂↹⊃when you walk across the room
你就想着，"我现在正在穿过房间。"⊂↹⊃you're thinking I am now crossing the room
当你看着某物时，就想着“我现在正在看着那棵树。”⊂↹⊃when you look at something I'm now looking at that tree
那么，你还没有临在⊂↹⊃that you're not present yet
不过，那可能是过渡阶段⊂↹⊃it can be an intermediate step
但是，真正的临在，是当你的内心中没有任何背景评论的时候⊂↹⊃but the actual presence is when there's no background commentary
当在你的整个生活中，你内心都不再有背景评论时⊂↹⊃and when there's virtually no background commentary throughout your life
这就是醒觉的状态⊂↹⊃that means the awakened state
你的心里依然有评论这或评论那的思维片段⊂↹⊃There still be fragments of thoughts saying this or that
但是，基本上，根本上，你在日常生活中从思维中的无意识强迫评论中解脱出来了⊂↹⊃but basically are fundamentally free of the involuntary compulsive background commentary in your daily life
像这样生活，就是一种进化的大飞跃⊂↹⊃that's an enormous evolutionary leap to live like that
但是你不需要立下类似“我想要彻底的解脱”这样的目标⊂↹⊃but you don't need to have that as some aim I want to be totally free
只需在当下从思维的背景评论中解脱出来⊂↹⊃just be free of background commentary now
这么做， 比起你说“我想要在我的一生中从思维的背景评论中解脱出来”更加容易⊂↹⊃that's easier than to say throughout my life I want to be free of that
只需在当下做这件事⊂↹⊃well just do it now
放下不必要的思考⊂↹⊃renounce unnecessary thinking
活在当下⊂↹⊃be present instead
于是，小我⊂↹⊃then the ego
消失了⊂↹⊃diminishes
当你活在当下的时候，小我终究无法在你之内活下去⊂↹⊃and eventually cannot survive in you when you are present
过去，人们在灵性生活中践习了各种各样的修身克己之法⊂↹⊃people have practiced traditionally all kinds of renunciations in spiritual life
在基督教，佛教，印度教等等之中⊂↹⊃in Christianity and Buddhism and Hinduism and so on
现在， 在很多文化中人们仍然在某种程度上修习这些克己之法⊂↹⊃and they are still being practiced in many cultures to some extent
放弃财产⊂↹⊃renunciation of possessions
弃绝你的名字⊂↹⊃renunciation of your name
放弃旧名字，取一个富有灵性的新名字⊂↹⊃let go of your old name adopt a new spiritual name
断绝物质层面的舒适⊂↹⊃renunciation of physical comforts
让身体吃苦⊂↹⊃exposing the body to discomfort
这些做法都可能有所帮助⊂↹⊃all these can be helpful
但是⊂↹⊃but
如果人们并不知晓最根本的断绝⊂↹⊃if the most basic renunciation is not known
那么，最根本的执著依旧在你心中存在⊂↹⊃then the most basic attachment will still be there
那就是执着于你的思想念头⊂↹⊃and that's attachment to your thoughts
你还没有断绝不必要的思考⊂↹⊃you haven't renounced unnecessary thinking
在一旁坐一段时间，以保持临在，这在传统上被称作冥想⊂↹⊃sitting aside a period for being present is traditionally called meditation
所以，你可以说，我们在此正在做的就是冥想⊂↹⊃so you could say that that's what we are doing here
或者说，我们实际上没有在做任何事情⊂↹⊃or we are not really doing anything
或者说，我们正在做的，其实不是一种作为，而是意识到我们的存在⊂↹⊃or we are doing which is not a doing is realizing our presence
意识到我们的存在⊂↹⊃realizing presence
此刻，在地球上的不同地区⊂↹⊃right now in different parts of the planet
星星点点的意识⊂↹⊃little points of consciousness
正在醒觉过来⊂↹⊃waking up
以前就只有一个人⊂↹⊃where before there was only a person
而现在⊂↹⊃there's now
有意识的临在正在扬升⊂↹⊃conscious presence arising
在同一时刻，在地球上的不同地区⊂↹⊃different parts of the planet at the same time
当然了，这件事是无形的⊂↹⊃and this of course has no form
也不存在时间⊂↹⊃and there's no time
在临在状态中，过去与未来变得无关紧要⊂↹⊃past and future become irrelevant in presence
现在，这是一个绝妙的领悟，你的本质⊂↹⊃now that's an amazing realization that who you essentially are
你的身份感，你的本质身份感⊂↹⊃your feeling of identity, of essential identity
不需要“未来”去充实它自己⊂↹⊃does not need the future to complete itself
你的本质身份感已经是完整的了⊂↹⊃it is already complete
它不需要过去⊂↹⊃it does not need the past
所以，你不需要过去就知道你自己是谁⊂↹⊃so you don't need past to know who you are
过去是一个幻觉，过去是一个故事⊂↹⊃that's a delusion it's a story
你不需要未来才能成为一个更加完整的你自己⊂↹⊃you don't need future to finally arrive at some more complete version of yourself
因为临在已然是完整的了⊂↹⊃because presence is already complete
临在的你已然是完整的了⊂↹⊃you already complete in presence
可以说，临在是奶油⊂↹⊃one could say presence is the cream and
在时间中发生的一切⊂↹⊃whatever happens in time
在未来你身上发生的一切，都是脱脂奶⊂↹⊃whatever happens in future to you is the skimmed milk
一旦你了解到了奶油，拥有了奶油⊂↹⊃and once you know the cream and have the cream
脱脂奶就不再那么的重要了⊂↹⊃and skim milk is not that important anymore
所以，随着临在的扬升，你不再害怕死亡⊂↹⊃so as small presence arises, you lose the fear of death
你会害怕死亡⊂↹⊃which of course arises
因为你无意识地认为你需要更多时间才能成为真正的你自己⊂↹⊃because you unconsciously think you need more time to be fully yourself
当然了，真相是，你需要走出时间才能成为真正的你自己⊂↹⊃of course the truth is you need to get out of time to be fully yourself
我们在此，同时保持放松和警觉⊂↹⊃so we are here relaxed and alert at the same time
警觉不需要紧张⊂↹⊃alertness does not require tension
没有了紧张并不意味着你要昏昏欲睡了⊂↹⊃and to be free of tension does not mean that you're going towards sleep
此刻，你是谁？⊂↹⊃and at this moment, who are you？
与你的故事无关⊂↹⊃with no reference to your story
（你是）临在的空间⊂↹⊃the space of presence
不是一个人⊂↹⊃not a person
你的外在看起来仍然是一个人的样子⊂↹⊃you still look like a person from the outside
所以，伴随这个转变，你这个人消隐了⊂↹⊃so with this shift the person recedes
临在升起⊂↹⊃and presence arises
在临在之中，你没有失去任何真实的东西⊂↹⊃you don't lose anything real in this
“那我的个人身份呢？我不想失去我的个人身份。”⊂↹⊃and what about my personal identity？ I don't want to lose that
如果你觉察地更深入⊂↹⊃if you look more deeply
你内心深处的感受就是你的个人身份⊂↹⊃at the bottom of what you feel is your personal identity
事实上，你现在就是意识临在⊂↹⊃there's the fact that right now you are conscious
意识临在是你感受到的、你所说的“你的个人身份”的根基⊂↹⊃that's the foundation of what you sense and call your personal identity
意识就是你的个人身份⊂↹⊃it's consciousness, is your personal identity
意识照亮“你是谁的故事”⊂↹⊃it gives light to the story of who you are
“你是谁的故事”包含了过去的思想念头⊂↹⊃which consists of thoughts in the past
过去就是思想念头⊂↹⊃past is thoughts
意识就是“你的故事”背后的光芒⊂↹⊃the consciousness is the light behind your story
没有意识，一切都将不复存在⊂↹⊃without it there would be nothing
我们一起闭上双眼⊂↹⊃let's close our eyes for a moment
仅在没有视觉感受的情况下，继续保持临在⊂↹⊃just continue to be present without any visual perception
如果思维介入⊂↹⊃if thoughts interfere
把你的注意力放到内在身体中⊂↹⊃take your attention into the inner body
感受身体之中的生命力⊂↹⊃feel the aliveness inside the body
全身每一个细胞都保持临在⊂↹⊃be present with every cell of the body
临在超越了身体⊂↹⊃presence of course transcends the body
但是临在之光穿透了形式⊂↹⊃but it shines through the form
睁开眼⊂↹⊃open your eyes
环顾一下房间，无论你在哪里⊂↹⊃look around the room wherever you are
保持临在，成为感受背后的觉知⊂↹⊃and stay present be the awareness behind the perceptions
纯粹的、鲜明的感受⊂↹⊃innocent fresh perception
警敏的感受⊂↹⊃alert perception
然后再看回屏幕⊂↹⊃and back at the screen
当我们结束了这场冥想后⊂↹⊃as we finished our meditation
你可能想要在静寂中多坐一会儿⊂↹⊃you may want to sit a little longer in the stillness
当你接下来开始移动，开始做事时⊂↹⊃and when you then start moving again,start doing things
尽可能多地带着这样的临在感⊂↹⊃carry that presence as much as possible with you
因为我没有带我的钵⊂↹⊃as I don't have my bell with me
现在我要尽我所能地模仿钵⊂↹⊃I will now simulate the bell as best as I can
模仿一次就足够了⊂↹⊃and once is enough
谢谢大家⊂↹⊃thank you
