一行禪師:好的修行者能在任何時間都創造欣喜片刻和開心感受
在你注視恢宏壯闊的日出之際,越是保持正念和專注,那片日出美景就越能為你展露。若有人送來一杯極為香醇的好茶,但你卻分心散亂,此時便無法真正享有品茗之樂。你必須對那杯茶保持正念和專注,它才會釋放茶香而讓你驚奇不已。
這就是正念和專注何以為快樂之源的道理。也是好的修行者何以知道如何在一天中的任何時間創造欣喜片刻和開心感受的道理。
譯注:目前通常會把 mindful/mindfulness 翻譯成「正念」,以下嘗試用「觀照」來翻譯,您覺得哪一種比較有感覺或看得懂呢?

"When you contemplate the big, full sunrise, the more mindful and concentrated you are, the more the beauty of the sunrise is revealed to you. Suppose you are offered a cup of tea, very fragrant, very good tea. If your mind is distracted, you cannot really enjoy the tea. You have to be mindful of the tea, you have to be concentrated on it, so the tea can reveal its fragrance and wonder to you. That is why mindfulness and concentration are such sources of happiness. That’s why a good practitioner knows how to create a moment of joy, a feeling of happiness, at any time of the day." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

「每當你在禪修時有所了悟,千萬要努力將它瓦解。相信它,但要瓦解它。別握著不放。無有了悟之時,你就到了。」~ 巴楚仁波切
"Everytime you have some realization during meditations, you must diligently dismantle that realization... Trust but dismantle your realization. Don't hold it... Where there's no realization, you are there." ~ Patrul Rinpoche.
