善心的重要性
請問空行母：爲了達到更高的證悟，最重要的事情是什麼？
"Khadro-la, what is the most important thing that we can do to achieve greater enlightenment?”
空行母回答：人們試圖要獲得心靈上的了悟。而真正的了悟，是成就一顆善心。於此之外，沒有任何東西更有益處。沒有別的了！現實來說，有善和惡。我們能全然仰賴的、永遠不會背叛或辜負我們的，就是善心和菩提心。
Khadro-la: “People try spiritually to achieve realization. The true realization is to achieve a kind heart. Other than that, there is nothing really that is useful. Nothing else. Realistically, there is good and bad. The things that we can completely trust, that will never betray us or fail us, are kindheartedness and bodhicitta.”
禪修的要點
Tips for Meditation
請問空行母：禪修是否有助於成就善心？可提供任何禪修的要點嗎？
“Khadro-la, is meditation helpful in achieving a kind heart? Do you have any tips for meditation?”
空行母回答：很多人喜愛禪修。大部分人認爲禪修就是一心專注。而我認爲：禪修是去養成一種真誠心態和善良心地的習慣。若我們培養並增長善良和真誠的功德，我們將可擺脫種種苦難。否則，如果認爲自己想要禪修，並且只是坐著不動，但心中沒有任何特定的念頭，那麼我們其實是在讓心休息，讓心放鬆一下。但這不僅沒有建設性，也沒有益處。如此並不會減少瞋怒、貪愛等負面心態。也不會增長善良、誠實和智慧的功德。那麼，我們或許能四、五個小時都一心專注、坐直不動，但有何意義呢？這就像隻鴿子一樣！
Khadro-la: “Many people like meditation. Many people think of it as single-pointed concentration. In my opinion, meditation is to cultivate a habit of an honest mindset and a kind heart. If we develop and increase our qualities of kindness and honesty, we can get rid of so many different kinds of suffering. Otherwise, if we think we want to meditate, and we just sit still and we don’t think about anything in particular, then what we are doing is actually resting our mind, giving our minds a little break. But it is not very constructive or useful. It does not decrease our negative mindsets of anger, attachments, etc. It does not increase our qualities of kindness, truthfulness and wisdom. So, we might be able to sit still single-pointedly for four or five hours, but what’s the point? It’s like a pigeon!”
