大自然(节选)

Notice how present a flower is, how surrendered to life.


留心看看一朵花儿是多么临在,多么对生命臣服。

The plant that you have in your home–have you ever truly looked at it? Have you allowed that familiar yet mysterious being we call plant to teach you its secrets? Have you noticed how deeply peaceful it is? How it is surrounded by a field of stillness? The moment you become aware of a plant's emanation of stillness and peace, that plant becomes your teacher.


那株你在家中养的植物 你是否曾经真正看过它?你是否曾经让这既熟悉又神秘的存在,这被我们称为植物的东西,教导你关于它的秘密?你是否曾经留意它是多么地安详?是否曾经留意它是如何被一个宁静的场域所围绕?在你意识到一株植物所散发的宁静与安详的那一刻,它就成为了你的老师。

Watch an animal, a flower, a tree, and see how it rests in Being. It is itself. It has enormous dignity, innocence, and holiness. However, for you to see that, you need to go beyond the mental habit of naming and labeling. The moment you look beyond mental labels, you feel that ineffable dimension of nature that cannot be understood by thought or perceived through the senses. It is a harmony, a sacredness that permeates not only the whole of nature but is also within you.


观察一只动物、一朵花、一棵树,看看它是如何安住于本体之中。它就是它自己。它拥有无上的尊严,纯净,和神圣。然而,你要看到这些,必须超越头脑喜爱命名和贴标签的习惯。在你看穿头脑的标签的那一刻,你感受到大自然那不可言说的向度,这不是思维可以理解的,也无法通过感官来感知。这是一种和谐,一种神圣,它不仅弥漫整个大自然,也渗透在你之内。

The air that you breathe is nature, as is the breathing process itself.


Bring your attention to your breathing and realize that you are not doing it. It is the breath of nature. If you had to remember to breathe, you would soon die, and if you tried to stop breathing, nature would prevail.


You reconnect with nature in the most intimate and powerful way by becoming aware of your breathing and learning to hold your attention there. This is a healing and deeply empowering thing to do. It brings about a shift in consciousness from the conceptual world of thought to the inner realm of unconditioned consciousness.


你呼吸的空气是自然的,正如你的呼吸过程一样自然。


关注你的呼吸,意识到你并没有在做它。它是自然的呼吸。如果你必须记得去呼吸,你很快就会死去,如果你试图停止呼吸,自然会胜过你。


藉着觉知你的呼吸,学习将注意力停留在呼吸上,你以最亲密和有力的方式与大自然重新联结。这样做深具疗愈作用,并能给予你极大的力量。它带来一个意识的转移,从思维的概念世界,转移到无限的意识的内在领域。
