莎士比亚的戏剧中有一句话
there's a line in Shakespeare
我不记得是他的哪一部戏剧了
I don't remember which play
那句话就是：“万事万物本无所谓好坏
it says "nothing is either good or bad,
但,思考把它们定义为好和坏”
but thinking makes it so"
这句话中有一个很重要的教导
there's a very important lesson here
关于灵性觉醒的
an essential part of
很重要的一部分
spiritual awakening
或者我们可以称它为“意识的觉醒”
or we could call it the awakening of consciousness
那就是试着去觉察意识到
is to learn to become aware
一种不同
of the difference
“你发现的你所处的生命情境” 与
between the situation that you find yourself in
“你头脑中对你所处的生命情境的评判”
and what your mind says about the situation
这二者之间的不同
that you find yourself in
尤其是一些具有挑战性的生命情境
particularly challenging situations
现在 你们很多人也许
many of you at this time are perhaps
都被限制在一个较小的空间里
confined to a small space
或许是一栋小公寓
perhaps a small apartment
你不被允许出去 除了去买
not allowed to go out except to buy
食物或者其他生活必需品
groceries or other essentials
又或者 你不得不和其他人
perhaps you have to share that space
共享那个小空间
several people
或者你身边没有其他任何人
or there's nobody else
你感到孤独
and you feeling lonely
或者你可能正在经历着
or you may be experiencing
钱越用越少了
that money is becoming scarce
因为你停止工作了
because you've been laid off
没有了收入 或者你感觉自己病了
no more income or you're feeling sick
感觉自己发烧了，咳嗽了
and there's a fever as cough
现在
Now
现在你们很多人
all these things that
正在经历的所有这一切事情
many of you are experiencing now
按照传统，会被正常地称作“坏事”
would conventionally normally be called bad
是的
and yes I suppose
按照传统，
on the conventional level they are
它们不是愉快的
not pleasant
尤其是 如果你生病了
particularly if you're sick
所以说，那句话是什么意思呢
so what does it mean
莎士比亚说的是什么意思呢
what does Shakespeare mean
当他说“万事万物本无所谓好坏
when he says "nothing is either good or bad,
但，思考把它们定义为好和坏”
but thinking makes it so"
所以
so you're very essential
灵性教导就是能够
spiritual lesson is to be able to
区别
differentiate between a situation
你正在经历的生命情境
that you are experiencing
和你头脑中对有关你正在经历
and your mental commentary
的生命情境的评判
about the situation that you're experiencing
你所持有 的
the thoughts that you have
有关你正在经历的生命情境的思想念头
concerning the situation that you're experiencing
现在对于大多数人而言
now for most people
对于任何没有足够觉察力的人而言
anybody who's not sufficiently aware
对大多数人来说
for most people
他们经历的任何事情
whatever they experience
和他们头脑中
and the mental commentary that they have
对他们所经历之事的评判
about their experience
是一回事
area single phenomenon
他们没法把二者区别开
they cannot separate them
所以说
so let's say
你被限制在一个狭小的空间里
you are cooped up in a small space
已经在其中待了一周了
have been there for already a week
或者是两周
or two weeks and
你在思考着还要这样待多久
you're thinking about how much longer
并且你再也忍受不了了
and you can't stand it anymore
这太难受了
this is just too awful
小我一直不停地说
and the self-talk continues
小我告诉你
it's telling you
这种情境有多么糟糕，多么让人难以接受
how awful and unacceptable this situation is
你或许
and you might
这种“小我的话”可能会让你产生自艾自怜
this self-talk may generate self-pity
可能会产生愤怒
may generate anger
可能会产生抑郁
it may generate depression
当然也会产生恐惧
and or certainly will generate fear
因为很多“小我的话”是关于
because a lot of the self-talk is about
多么糟糕，不仅仅是这情境有多么糟糕
how bad it's not just how bad it is
而是 它将会变得有多糟糕
now but how bad it's going to be
它将会变得更加糟糕
it's going to be worse
那就是头脑经常说的话
that's what the mind is often saying
接着 当头脑说
and then when the mind saying
它将会变得更加糟糕的时候
that it's going to get worse
基本上对你而言 它已经很糟糕了
then basically for you it is already worse
而且它变得越来越糟糕
and it gets worse and worse
所以你们很多人这些日子都有闲暇的时间
so many of you have spare time these days
我建议大家去做一个小小的尝试
I suggest experimenting a little bit
去试着觉察 那种区别
and becoming aware of the difference
你所处的生命情境
between the situation you find yourself in
和你的头脑对你所处的生命情境
and the mental commentary
的评判二者之间的区别
about the situation
所以当你不快乐的时候
so when you feel unhappy
基本上就是对你所处之地感到痛苦
basically suffering where you are
你会说
and you're saying is
“我再也忍受不了这个了”
"I can't take much more of this"
无论你的头脑说什么
whatever the mind is saying or
或者头脑会说
the mind is saying
事情会变得更糟糕
it's going to get worse
我受不了还要像这样待三周
I can't take another three weeks of this
我怎么能够呢？
how could I?
我要怎么活下去啊？
what am I going to live on？
诸如此类
and so on
所以头脑里的评判是关于
so the commentary concerns
当下正在发生的某些事情
certain things that are happening now
也许是关于“所谓的未来”之中的
it may concern certain things
某些事情
in the so-called future
所以你觉察到“小我的话”
so you become aware of the self-talk
大多数人基本上都会和他们自己
basically most humans talk to
说很多话
themselves a lot
或者你也可能会和其他人说话
or you may also be talking to others
如果你和他人共享一个空间
if you share space with other people
那么这种“小我的话”就变成了
then this self-talk becomes
你和他人之间的对话
your the dialogue that you have with others
作为一种尝试，我建议你们
and as an experiment I will suggest that you
问问自己，如果我不给我的生命情境
ask yourself how would I experience
增添任何不必要的思想念头
the situation if I did not add
我将会如何去体验我的生命情境呢？
any unnecessary thought to it?
没有了头脑中的评判
how would I experience this moment
此刻我将会如何去体验
the situation that I'm finding myself in without the
我发现我所处的生命情境呢？
addition of the interpretation of the mind
有时候我也说
I sometimes call that
在大多数情况下 这种头脑评判
in most cases this addition this interpretation
在很多情况下，它都是负面的评判
in many many cases it's negative
通常头脑不会
this usually not that much
去评判
that the mind can comment
一种很愉快的经历
on a very pleasant experience
它就只是体验了那个经历
it just experiences it
但是如果有一个艰难的生命情境
but the mind can loves it
头脑可能会爱死了它
when it there's a difficult situation
接着头脑可能就真的开始搞事情了
then the mind can really get going
关于这个情境，它会说一大段故事
and has a long story about it
在没有增添不必要的思想念头的情况下
how would I experience this moment
我将会如何经历体验当下此刻
without the addition of unnecessary thought
这是一个奇怪的问题
that's a strange question
有时候我会说
I sometimes say that
这种附加的思想念头
this addition of thought
是你生命中的“多余的包袱”
is excess baggage in your life
并且很多人没有意识到
and many humans don't realize that
他们在让自己变得不快乐
they are making themselves unhappy
年复一年
for years and years
有时是一辈子
and sometimes a whole lifetime
因为他们永远都没学着去区别
because they never learned to differentiate
他们真正所处的生命情境
between situations they find themselves in
和 头脑对他们所在的生命情境添油加醋式的评判
and that which the mind adds to the situation
所以说，他们是通过头脑里的故事
so they experiences it situation
去经历他们所处的生命情境
through the narrative of the mind
他们没法说，这是一个生命情境
they cannot say here is a situation
而这是头脑故事
and here is the narrative
但是这就是我建议你们
but this is what I'm asking you
在当下试着去做的事
to experiment with now
因为你们有大把时间
because you have plenty of time
你们大多数人有大把时间
or many of you have
如果我不再去诠释我此刻所处的生命情境
how I would experience this moment
不再把我此刻所处的生命情境定义为好的或糟糕的
if I refrained from interpreting it
那么我将会如何去经历当下此刻呢
calling it either good or bad
嗯 没有了这个问题
okay without this question
它在思想观念层面上
doesn't have an answer
并没有答案
on a conceptual level
这个问题把你的注意力
this question directs
导向了当下此时此刻
your attention into the present moment
导向当下此时此刻的活力之中
the aliveness of the present moment
如果你不给你所处的生命情境附加任何思想念头
and if you don't add any thought to it
而只是去经历体验
but just experiments
你可以
you can
如果你
if you
如果体验失败了
if the experiment fails
如果你不喜欢它
if you don't like it
而你就可能给你所处的生命情境
and you can continue with adding
持续不断地增添
continuously adding
头脑故事
narratives to the situation
并且持续不断地通过头脑故事的那层面纱
and continue to experience the situation
去经历体验你所处的生命情境
through the veil of the narrative
头脑故事评判你所处的生命情境多么糟糕
that comments how awful it all is
你的生命将慢慢瓦解
that your life is falling apart
世界正在分崩离析
the world is falling apart
太可怕了
it's also dreadful
那就是一种头脑故事
that's a narrative
所以
so
如果我不增添任何东西
how would I experience this moment
我将会如何经历体验此时此刻
if I did not add
嗯 让我们一起来做吧
okay let's do it
哦不 是让我们避免去
let's oh let's refrain
不是去做
not it's not a doing
是避免去做某些事
it's a refrain from doing something
某些通常来说是无意识的头脑运作的事情
that is normally an unconscious mind process
嗯好的 那我还剩下什么
okay what I left with
我在此处 正坐在这儿
Here I am I'm sitting here
环顾四周，并呼吸着
looking around breathing
看到在这个房间里的任何事物
whatever is here in this room
望向窗外
look out of the window
看到一部分天空，树木
see a bit of sky tree
光透过窗照射进来
light coming through the window
房间里的家具
furniture in the room
任何在此时此地正在发生的事
whatever else is happening here
感官感知
sensory perceptions
你的呼吸
and your breathing
可能 你感到无限活力
and you are alive presumably
即使你实际上可能并没有体验到活力
although you may not actually experience being alive
但是你可以体验到它 通过去感受
but you can experience it by feeling the
身体内在的能量场
inner energy field of the body
那充满了活力
which is alive
这全部是当下此时此刻的体验经历
it's all part of the experience of this moment
你就在那儿
and there you are
坐在那儿
sitting there
并且你已经丢掉了头脑故事
and you have dropped the narrative
而你所剩下的全部就只是纯粹的
and all you're left with is the bare
“所是” “存在” 或者说是“当下此时此刻所是的”
isness beingness or isness of this moment
那很有趣
that's interesting
而且你可能会突然感觉到
and you may suddenly feel
你肩膀上有种重担逐渐消散
a kind of weight lifting of your shoulders
你可能习惯性地
the weight that you
背负着那种重担
habitually probably carry
那种重担是
which is the weight of
这就是为何我要把它称作“多余的包袱”的原因
this is why I call it excess baggage
那重担就是一种无意识思考
it is a weight of unconscious thinking
是一种反应式思考
reactive thinking
头脑制造了一些不快乐的故事
the mind creating unhappy narratives
然后
and then
你接下来经历体验到的就是
what you then experience is
你的身体会反馈给你
the body is reflecting back to you
那个不快乐的故事
the unhappy narrative in the form of
以一种不快乐的情绪的形式反馈回到你身上
an unhappy emotion
这被叫做 “正常生活”
that's called "normal living"
那就是当你看电影的时候
that's what when you watch a movie
或者 每个人都在这样生活着
or everybody's doing it
那就是常见的、正常的
that's just normal not
很少有人质疑它
very few people question it
但是还有另外一种方式
but there is another way
那就是觉察意识或临在的方式
and it's a way of awareness or presence
所以这可能是
so this is the perhaps
最
one of the most of
最基本的一种灵性练习
the most fundamental spiritual practice
它能够把头脑故事
is to be able to separate
和你所处的生命情境分离区别开
the narrative from the situation
而且如果
and if possible
尽可能地
as much as possible
放下你的头脑故事
let go of the narrative
只是待在当下此时此刻（临在于当下）
and just be present with this moment
如当下所是
as it is
当然还有一个令人惊叹的事实就是
and of course the amazing fact is
当下此时此刻永远都在那儿
this moment is all there ever is
你的整个生命都是
your entire life unfolds in
作为当下此时此刻展现出来的
and as this moment
换句话说，永远都只是“现在”
in other words it's always now
永远都不可能不是现在
it's never not now
“你的整个生命”就是“现在”（当下）
your entire life is now
无论过去发生过的什么事
whatever happened in the past
都是在当下发生的
happened in the now
而当你回忆起它的时候 你是在当下记起它的
and when you remember it you remember now
无论什么将在未来发生的事
whatever will happen in the future
将不会在未来发生
will not happen in the future
它将会在当下发生
it will happen in the now
因为当未来到来的时候
because when the future comes
那已不再是“未来” 那是“当下”
it's no longer futures it's now
当你思考着有关未来的时候
and when you think about the future
那是当下此时此刻的思想念头
it's of the thought in the present moment in the now
所以 生命和当下
so life and now
你的生命和当下是不可分的
your life and now are inseparable
并且有一种巨大的能量
and there's an enormous power
深藏在当下，也就是说，深藏在你之中
hiding in the now which is means hiding in you
一种深深的活力感和存在感
and a deep sense of aliveness and beingness
远远超越了
that goes far beyond what we
我们惯常称作的“幸福”
conventionally call happiness
那其实不是“幸福” 那是恶神
it's not happiness it's Deva
但是你需要经受了生活的挑战后去发现它
but you need to be challenged by life to find it
而这也是当下集体性地
and this is what's happening for millions
发生在数百万人身上的事
collectively now
在个人层面上
on a personal level
每个人也会周期性地经历到挑战
everybody gets periodically also
但是当下我们正在集体性地受到挑战
but now collectively are being challenged
我们需要醒过来
we need to wake up
从无意识的思考中觉醒过来
wake up out of unconscious thinking
从对思考着的头脑的
out of complete identification
全然认同中醒过来
with the thinking mind
思考着的头脑被过去所束缚规约
which is conditioned by the past
我们需要意识到
and we need to realize that
在我们每个人之内，在你们每个人之内
there is in us there is in you
存在着另外一个意识的维度
another dimension of consciousness
它一直都在那儿
that has always been there
但是我们会习惯性地
but habitually
忽视它
one could say overlooked
那就是“觉察的维度”
and that is the dimension of awareness
即“没有思想念头的意识”
which is consciousness without thought
也许在许多场合下
you probably have experienced it
你已经很短暂地体验过它了
on many occasions briefly
比方说，当你参加一些
for example when engaged in an activity
需要你保持完全临在的活动之时
that requires you to be absolutely present
比如说 攀岩
climbing up the mountain
或者 有时参加
sometimes perhaps engaged in
一些体育运动
some kind of sport activity
要求你保持完全临在的状态
requires you to be absolutely present
那时就有一种觉察意识在那儿
and then there's an awareness there
但是没有任何观念式的思考
but there's no conceptual thinking
根本没有时间思考
there's no time for thinking
奇特的是
and the strange thing is
这种觉察意识是一种更加深沉的本质身份
this this awareness is a deeper identity
它是“你所是的觉察意识”（你就是那份觉察意识）
it's the awareness that you are
它让你从根本上
frees you ultimately
从“你的自我”之中解放出来
from yourself
从那个“有限的自我”之中
the self the limit itself
从那个“被限制规约的自我”之中
the conditioned self
从那个“头脑制造的自我感”之中解放出来
the mind-made sense of self that
对大多数人而言 那就是他们知道的一切
for most people that's all they know
但是对你来说 还有更多
but there's more to you
在你之中存在着一个更加深沉的“本质身份”
and this there is a deeper identity in you
那个“本质身份”就是“觉察意识本身”
which is and then identity is awareness itself
就是意识本身
that is consciousness itself
就是“未受到规约限制的意识本身”
it's the unconditioned consciousness itself
要去体验经历它，去觉察觉知到它
and it's not difficult to experience
并不困难
to realize that
但是人们并不
and but humans don't
他们需要经受挑战后被导向那儿
they need the challenge to be driven there
这就是为什么当下我们正在经受的这个疫情
and this is why what we are going through right now
从根本上来说是有益的
is potentially very helpful
所以那个练习就是
so the practice is
在没有增添思想念头的情况下
how do I experience this moment
我将如何体验经历当下
without the addition of thought
接着你就会慢慢经历体验到
and then you come to experience
当下的那纯粹的“所是”
the pure isness of this moment
在那之中 没有痛苦
in which there is no suffering
只有那份“所是”
there is only the isness of this
因为所有的不幸
because all the unhappiness
从根本上来说 都不是那个生命情境制造的
ultimately was not created by the situation
“不幸”是由你的头脑故事制造出来的
it was created by the narrative
但是你并不知道那事
but you didn't know that
你们大多数人仍旧不知道那事
as most you would have still don't know that
因为他们没法
because they cannot separate
把“真实的生命情境”和“头脑故事”区分开来
the situation from the narrative
而且
and
所以无论什么时候你感到不快乐了
so whenever you feel unhappy
感到恐惧
you feel fearful
感到沮丧
you feel depressed
感到愤慨
you feel resentful
或是 自艾自怜
what's happening self-pity
无论是什么
whatever it may be
把它当作一个小小的“唤醒呼叫”
use that as a little wake-up call
比方说，嗯好的 它是怎么出现的呢
say okay how does this arise
它是从哪儿
where does this
这种以任何形式
how is this
出现的不快乐不幸福的感觉
feeling of unhappiness in whatever form
它是怎么产生的呢
how does it come about
接着你越来越能觉察意识到
and then you become more aware of what
你思考性的头脑中发生的活动
goes on in your thinking mind
那份觉察意识
the awareness is deeper
是一个更叫深沉的意识维度
a deeper dimension of consciousness
我们可以说 好啊 那份更深沉的
we can say hi our deeper
那并不重要 无论它是
it doesn't matter it is a deeper
一个更加深沉的意识维度
dimension of consciousness than the
还是一种思想念头的活动
activity of thought which is also
思想念头的活动也是意识
consciousnesses
每一个思想念头
every thought is a form
都是意识的一种形式
that consciousness takes
但是在那之下
but underneath that
存在着一个广阔的意识场域
there's a vast realm of consciousness
同样地
in the same way that
大海海面上的波浪
the ripple on the surface of the ocean
就好像是思想念头
let's say that's the thought
但是那个波浪只是
but the ripple is only a temporary
存在于它之下的更加深层次的真相
fleeting expression of a much
的一种转瞬即逝的表现形式
deeper reality underneath it
所以
and so
你觉醒过来 意识到那个深层次的本质身份
you wake up to that deep identity
通过觉察意识到
by realizing the fundamental difference
“当下所是”
between what is
和“头脑对‘当下所是’的评判” 之间的区别
and what the mind has to say about it
接着慢慢地
and then more and more
你越来越能够带着你临在的力量
you're able to experience situations
去经历体验生命情境
with the power of your presence
你带着你的临在力量
you're facing a situation
直面一个生命情境
with the power of your presence
那不是“你的”临在
it's not your presence
但是我们把它称作是“你的”
but let's just call it yours
你带着你的临在力量直面生命情境
you face it with the power of your presence
那是真正的智慧
which is true intelligence
而不是无意识反应的
instead of being reactive
或者抱怨
and complaining about what it
你正在经历的事情
is you're experiencing
很多不必要的头脑活动
a lot of that unnecessary mind activity
头脑故事
the narrative
那个“多余的包袱”
the excess baggage
很多很多 你可能已经注意到了
a lot of that you might have noticed
都是抱怨
is complaining
你可能会抱怨生活
you can complain about life
抱怨你周围的人
about other people around you
抱怨
about you can complain about
这一切的不公平
as the unfairness of it all
抱怨生活如何对待你的
how life has treated you
或者是 任何你可以抱怨的事
or whatever it is you can complain about
任何事
whatever
政治家们
the politicians
各种各样
and all kinds of
无穷无尽的
the infinite
头脑认为你可以抱怨的事
it thinks you can complain about
所以 很多头脑故事
and so a lot of that narrative
作为一种抱怨的对象
as an element of complaining to it
是不愉快的
and it's not pleasant
但是那种不真实的自我感
but the the false sense of self
那个小我
the ego
那个“我”
the me
爱死了抱怨
it loves complaining
而且
and
因为它感觉到一种很强的
because then it feels it has a stronger
身份感
sense of identity
那种虚构假想的身份
that fictitious identity
它爱死了 说某人是错的
it loves to make somebody wrong
他人是错的
another person
你可能会说整个生命情境都是错的
you can make a whole situation wrong
“这不应该发生”
and this should not be happening
“那不应该发生”
it should not be happening
它是一种歪曲
it's a travesty
但是那情境的确正在发生
but it is happening
“这不应该发生”
this should not be happening
是头脑故事
is the narrative
而那个让你不快乐的
and that what makes you unhappy
在大多数情况下，也许在所有情况下
in most cases perhaps all cases
都只是 头脑里的故事
is the narrative in the mind
而非生命情境，那个生命情境只是如它所是地存在着
not the situation the situation is as it is
当你逐渐觉察意识到
and as when you realize that
当你越来越能够直面
and more and more are you able to face
当下的每一个生命情境
every situation which is in the present moment
当下也是任何生命情境能够发生的唯一地点
the only place where any situation can arise
你直面情境 如它在当下所是的样子
you face it as it is in the now
带着你的临在力量
with the power of your presence
如果需要采取行动 那么你就采取行动
and if action is required you take action
如果无需做什么
if nothing can be done
那么你就不做什么
you leave it alone
那情境只是如其所是地在那儿
it is as it is
而且你不再对它感到不快乐了
and you are not unhappy about it anymore
你已经超越了它
you rise above it so to speak
可以说 你不再受到
you're no longer at the mercy of
当下发生的任何事情
whatever is happening
或者任何发生在你身上的事情的影响了
or not happening around you
是的 当好事发生之时 那是很好的
yes it's nice when nice things happen
而当不愉快之事发生之时
and it's not so nice when
那是不那么好的
unpleasant things happen
但是那些事不会深深地触动到你了
but that's it doesn't touch you that deeply
因为你已经接触到了
because this you have access already
在你之中的那个深层次的维度
a deep dimention within yourself
所以你不再受到那些限制性条件的
so you're no longer at the mercy of
控制束缚了
conditions
因为只要你受到
because as long as you're at the
那些限制性条件的控制束缚
mercy of conditions
生活就让人十分沮丧
life is very frustrating
那些限制性条件就是：
because conditions that are
你发现的你所处的生命情境
situations you find yourself in are
从来都是，长时间以来都是不如意的
never satisfying for very long
很多时候它们是不如意的
and a lot of the time they are unsatisfing
很多时候它们是充满挑战的
a lot of the time they are challenging
因为生命存在于此并不是来让你快乐的
because life is not here to make you happy
世界存在于此并不是来让你快乐的
the world isn't here to make you happy
它们存在于此是来唤醒你，来让你变得有觉知
it's here to awaken you to make you conscious
它是如何做到的呢
how does it do that
它是通过挑战你做到的
it does that by challenging you
而它现在正在这么做着
and it's doing it now
所以
so
当你能够慢慢放下
and as you are able to let go of the
那个让你不快乐的
unnecessary narrative that
头脑故事的时候
makes you unhappy
那么你就自动地
then you automatically become present
对当下所是 变得临在
to what is
接着你也许就明白了
and then you understand
莎士比亚那句话的意思
perhaps what Shakespeare meant
当他说“万事万物本无所谓好坏
when he said nothing is either good or bad
但，思考把它们定义为好和坏”
but thinking makes it so
谢谢大家 不久后我会继续和你们谈话
thanks I will talk to you again soon
与此同时
in the meantime
请大家尝试去做那个练习
please try it out practice
