A FLASH OF SACREDNESS
It is important to discuss how to actually maintain the Shambhala world in ourselves twenty-four hours a day, so that we don't just have theories about overcoming arrogance and developing confidence....There's something else we need to cultivate, which is a constant experience or quality of sacredness in everyday life. Problems, difficulties and challenges may arise quite suddenly in everyday life. We may have a flash of doubt or pain or an attack of emotion. At that very moment, at that same time, we can also have a flash of the sacredness in whatever arises, a sudden awareness of unconditional sacredness. It is very important to actually practice this and maintain it.....The cultivation of sacred world on the spot is the practice that allows all phenomenal experience to become part of a Shambhala mandala, or the basic enlightened structure of your life.
From "Invincibility, " page 111, in SMILE AT FEAR: AWAKENING THE TRUE HEART OF BRAVERY., Teachings by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
探討如何在每天廿四小時的生活中實際維護香巴拉的世界,有其重要性, 這樣才不會對於克服傲慢和培養信心等等只有理論而已。我們還需培養其他的東西,也就是對每日生活聖性的不斷體驗或對此特性的延續。在日常生活裡,可能有些問題、困難或挑戰會出現得相當突然。我們可能會閃過一念懷疑、痛苦,或情緒衝擊。就在此刻、這個時候,我們也可能會瞥見在種種境遇中的聖性,也就是對於無緣(不受條件制約的)聖性的頓時覺知。實際修習並加以維持,這是很重要的。當下培養神聖的世界,即是能將一切現象經驗納入香巴拉壇城、或成為生活基本證悟架構的修持。
