要如何去修持「止觀雙運」？舉例而言，當你生起妄念、生起嗔心時，對於這些念頭，我們不必過於恐懼、不需刻意排除；同樣的，也不需要去跟隨或隨之起舞。這裡我們要看妄念的本質、自然狀況是什麼，心就覺知著這個念頭，安住在本然狀態中。總之在念頭生起的過程中，「覺知」至為關鍵，要去看著、覺照著這個妄念的本質。但此時會談到「妄念的本質」，此時不需要去分析「妄念的本質是什麼？」，只要很直接、直觀的覺知著，不需要刻意去分析是否為空性等，就只是看著。 The classical Buddhist texts give instructions on how to measure the level but it is better to just give practical advice on how to practice this union. For example, if a thought or emotion such as anger arises, there’s no need to suppress it or stop it, nor do we have to hang on to that thought; rather, we should just be aware of the thought. There’s no need to analyse or examine its nature— just look at it. 若能做到，任何妄念煩惱都會因此失去力量、如同失去靠山一般。如果妄念真有其實質，當然難以處理，但當你覺知它後，妄念就如同一個無憑無據的說謊者一般，就會變得越講越無力、越講越小聲，慢慢地自己不見了。因此，當我們產生負面情緒時，不需要感到恐懼或緊張，只需單純看著它，覺知著它生起的過程和狀態，此時這個負面情緒就會變得像是個說謊者一樣，因為被看穿了，你的負面情緒也會覺得不好意思，就不再有力量，變得微弱。 When a negative emotion arises, if you just let it be, it will disappear because it is not supported by the truth, like a liar who eventually loses credibility. “When a negative emotion arises, there’s no need to be afraid or nervous, just look at that situation, regard that negative emotion as being like a person who tells lies. There’s no truth behind it,” he explained in English. 當然我們還做不到「根除煩惱」，但當我們試圖降伏負面情緒時，這種覺知會發揮很大作用。因此當大手印談到「止觀雙運」修持時，當你安住心的本質中，同時覺知著，在心很平靜中認識到妄念的本質，就是「止觀雙運」。 Then the negative emotion will lose its power, though this technique may not completely uproot the negative emotions. It is viewed as the union of the two forms of meditation, shamatha and vipasshyana, because your mind is peaceful but you are aware of the emotions and thoughts arising. Thus you recognise the nature of your mind. ～ 法王噶瑪巴2014年歐洲弘法行：大手印禪修 Karmapa’s heart advice on Dharma practice, Nuerburgring, 30th May, 2014 |
