邱陽創巴仁波切：伯利恆之星

Posted on December 22, 2015 by SHAMBHALAPUBS

The spiritual friend’s role is to take you out for a walk to look at the star of Bethlehem. It is a real experience at that point, no myth. There is the star of Bethlehem out there shining, and it is not a matter of conmanship at all. It’s a real experience, very real. It can be called the meeting of two minds. The main point here is making enlightenment real, rather than purely a myth.

心靈之友（善知識）的角色，就是帶你出去走走並看看伯利恆之星。此時，它並非是個神話，而是真實的體驗。那裡的確有顆閃耀的伯利恆之星，它和騙人的把戲毫無關聯。這是真實的經歷，非常真實。可稱之為心與心的交會。此處的重點在於讓證悟成真，而非純粹是個神話。

～中譯備註：spiritual friends 若是梵文mitra的英譯，即是「善知識」；conman在口語上是指先贏得他人信任而騙取錢財等物的騙子，有點像是金光黨，並無對應的譯詞。

～普賢法譯小組Sarita & Iris翻譯校對，Serena完稿於2016.02.11 藏曆神變月（正月）初三，願一切有情都能得遇善知識而見到伯利恆之星！
