The Difference Between Mind and Wisdom
心與智慧的差別
-帕秋仁波切,2010年10月17日
Dear friends near and far
遠近各地親愛的朋友們,
Today I thought I’d answer a question that I get asked quite frequently by students: the difference between the mind section and the wisdom section.
今天我想回答一個學生頗常提及的問題:心和智慧這兩個部份的差異。
In the mind section, the key is noticing. It is extremely important to notice negative emotions. There is a difference between judgment and noticing. When you have judgment then your emotions arise because judgment comes with duality. When you notice the emotions don’t arise because you don’t follow on with a second thought; it is only recognition of a negative emotion, nothing more.
在心的部份,重點是覺察。覺察負面情緒是極為重要的。評斷和覺察之間有著差異。當你有所評斷,情緒便會生起,這是由於評斷來自於二元性。當你有所覺察,由於沒有追隨第二個念頭,所以不會生起情緒;那單純是認出了負面情緒,此外便沒有了。
The wisdom section can be categorized into the appearance of wisdom and essential wisdom. The appearance of wisdom is free from duality, from bad and good. Don’t think that it is bad if you have a negative emotion and good when you have a positive emotion. After all, whether if it’s positive or negative it is just an emotion, which is impermanent. One must participate in pure perception. See all emotions, positive and negative, with pure perception and hence neither good nor bad. Essential wisdom, on the other hand involves less judgment and is without engaging. Not clinging onto the emotions, not holding onto the emotions, just letting them be. If you hold onto the emotions once they arise and do not let them dissolve naturally then that is not essential wisdom. Notice them and let them be. They will dissolve on their own, naturally. This is important to understand and practice. This is the essential teaching.
智慧的部份,可以分為智慧的顯現和精要的智慧。智慧的顯現離於二元,離於好壞。當你有負面情緒時,不要認為那是糟糕的;當你有正面情緒時,不要認為那是良好的。畢竟,不論它是正面或負面,都只是一種情緒,且是無常的。我們必須將清淨觀落實在生活中。以清淨觀看待所有正面和負面的情緒,就不會有好或壞。另一方面,精要的智慧所做的評斷較少,且沒有涉入。不耽著情緒,不抓住情緒,就只是任其如是。當情緒生起,如果加以耽著,且不讓它們自然消融,那便不是精要的智慧。覺察情緒並放下。它們自己會自然消融。理解並修持這一點,是很重要的。這就是精要的教法。
Right now I am in the very south of Brazil, near Port Alegra at Khandro Ling. Today with the sangha here we auspiciously performed Guru Rinpoche’s Shower of Blessings tsok offering. During the tsok offering, I thought of you all and had you all in my heart, praying for your long life, good health, and prosperity.
我目前正在巴西南端靠近阿列格雷港的康卓林。今天我與僧團一起順利進行了蓮花生大士的《加持雨降》薈供。薈供的時候,我心中憶念著所有人,祈願大家都能長壽、健康和富足。
Sarva Mangalam,
願一切吉祥
Phakchok Rinpoche
