噶千仁波切開示:唯一的必要對治
在西藏入獄的日子裡,偉大的大圓滿上師堪布門色仁波切曾教導我:「你的了證是到什麼程度,就看你遇到困境的反應。當事事都順遂的時候,沒辦法看出你有多少了證。」
當你發現自己陷入麻煩、當你處在極大的痛苦中、當一股強烈的情緒生起,唯有在這些時候,你才會知道自己的修持到了什麼程度。
門色堪布補充道:「逆境能彰顯你隱藏的過患。」
如果你在這些時候能夠維持如如不動的覺性,便不會被情緒的力量所帶走,而這正是你獲得修持覺受的徵兆之一。
如果你能極為精進地修持正念覺性一個月,如果你能認出甚至是最細微的念頭且同時不讓自己的心在迷妄中游盪,那麼,即使在這麼短暫的期間,你都能見證到極大的改變。猛烈的苦惱再也不會讓你那麼煩躁,因為你將察覺這如幻的遊戲而獲得個人的修持覺受。
其實就只有一項對治法門是必要的—正念覺性。單單這一個對治法門,就足以徹底轉化困境。
Just One
Necessary Remedy
In prison in Tibet, the great Dzogchen
Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche taught me this: “The extent of your realization will be
known when you encounter difficult circumstances. You will not know the extent of your realization
when things go well.”
When you find yourself in a troublesome situation,
when you are in great pain, when an intense emotion arises, only then will you
know where you are at with practice.
Khenpo Munsel added: “Adverse circumstances reveal
your hidden faults.”
If you are able to hold awareness unwaveringly
during such a time, and thus if you are not carried away by the force of the
emotion, it is a sign that you have gained experience in practice.
If you were to practice mindful awareness with great
diligence for just a month, if you were to recognize even the slightest thought
and not allow your mind to wander off into delusion for that time, even in such
a short time you would witness great changes. Fierce afflictions would not faze
you so much anymore, because you would have gained personal experience in
observing the illusory play.
There is in fact just one
remedy necessary—mindful awareness. It is the single sufficient remedy that
transforms difficulties inside and out.
