邱陽創巴仁波切:修行應該帶著一種歡喜心。
它完全是世俗的,而且完全不是宗教性或篤信式的信仰。
當磬聲響起,你開始禪修時,「應當」或「不應當」、「應該」或「不應該」的看法,以及懲罰、做個安分守己的好女孩好男孩的觀念就會自動浮現。你必須放下這些觀念和看法,讓自己澈底變得普通平凡,不要把你正在做的事情和宗教扯上關係。
如果你緊緊抓著宗教的態度不放,就會出問題:當你姿勢不良、錯過一座禪修,或沒有好好地禪修時,就會感到內疚。這會累積負面的反應,使你無法聽法。這麼一來,做為佛法修行者就毫無喜悅可言了。
Practice should carry along with it a sense of delight. It is completely
secular and not at all religious or pious. When the gong strikes and you
begin your meditation practice, notions of “ought” or “ought not,”
“should” or “shouldn’t,” notions of punishment or of being a good boy
or good girl automatically begin to come up. You need to let go of such
notions. You have to become completely ordinary and not associate what you are doing with religion. The problem with holding on to a religious
attitude is that when you have bad posture or you miss a sitting session
or think that you didn’t meditate properly, you feel guilty. That builds up
negativity, and in turn you are unable to hear the dharma—and because of
that, there is no joy in being a buddhadharma practitioner.
