吉噶康楚仁波切：不要冀望念頭和情緒會止息
念頭和情緒總是會湧現。修行的目的並非在於去除它們。正如我們無法停止那些看似為我們而轉或與我們作對的世界情境，我們也無法停止念頭和情緒。然而，我們可以選擇迎接並面對。在某個層次上來說，它們不過就是感受。當我們不去強化、不作論斷，無論是好壞、對錯或喜不喜歡，便能將它們取為道用。
Thoughts and emotions will always arise. The purpose of practice is not to get rid of them. We can no more put a stop to thoughts and emotions than we can put a stop to the worldly circumstances that seemingly turn for or against us. We can, however, choose to welcome and work with them. On one level, they are nothing but sensations. When we don't solidify or judge them as good or bad, right or wrong, favorable or unfavorable, we can utilize them to progress on the path.
我們運用念頭和情緒的方式，是透過觀察它們的起落，而了解它們並無實質。看穿它們的時候，我們便能領悟，它們無法真的束縛我們，把我們帶上歧途，或扭曲我們的現實感。我們不再期待它們止息。冀望念頭和情緒會止息的想法，是一種誤解。在禪修時，要讓自己擺脫這種錯誤的觀念。
We utilize thoughts and emotions by watching them arise and dissolve. As we do this, we see they are insubstantial. When we are able to see through them, we realize they can't really bind us, lead us astray, or distort our sense of reality. And we no longer expect them to cease. The very expectation that thoughts and emotions should cease is a misconception. We can free ourselves from this misconception in meditation.
