答：什麼力量？（大眾笑）自己懶惰不說，你們都怪外面的力量，每次都怪鬼、怪魔、怪狐狸、老鼠、小貓，不考慮清楚是不是自己的問題。啊！（師父嘆一口氣）我們認真修行，有一天一定會有體驗，真正的要努力，不要怪有什麼不好的力量干擾、拉我們。沒有任何力量，都是我們自己軟弱；即使有什麼魔干擾，也是因為我們怕它。我們悠樂有一句話說：「魔要來抓你啊！它先看你的臉。」意思說看那個臉有沒有很凶、有沒有勇氣？它才敢抓的。如果它看你比它凶、有勇氣，它就不敢了！你們看西遊記，本來閰羅王抓孫悟空下去地獄，他在那裡很得意地說：「哈哈哈！我是閰羅王。」結果，等一下孫悟空抓住他，他就在那裡磕頭：「哦！大聖，大聖！饒命！饒命！」（大眾笑）我們應該這樣才對，如果太軟弱就會被鬼魔恐嚇住。因為我們一動一靜就怕哪股力量，自己已經在那裡等那股力量了，當然它才來；不然的話，全世界什麼不好的力量沒有跑到別人那邊，卻跑到你那邊？

　所以有障礙時，我們要心無罣礙，不管它，即使感覺到有不好的力量還要繼續打坐，如果打坐不下，起來走一走再來打坐，念佛號，求裡面師父幫忙，堅持到底打坐下去，看看那股力量能做什麼事（大眾鼓掌）。我們的思想應該肯定、樂觀、勇敢一點，就會變成習慣。一切唯心造！如果我們沒有自信、沒有勇氣，即使連老鼠動一動，我們也怕耶！我們會想像成恐怖的事情，懷疑是魔來或是什麼股力量來，哈！結果是老鼠。所以不怕任何事嘛！

Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai
Tainan, Formosa January 12, 1989 (Originally In Chinese)




Q: Every time after I have meditated for a while, I want to stand up. I cannot continue to meditate, because I feel a power pulling me up.


M: What power? (Laughter) You don't blame your own laziness, but you blame an outside power. You always blame ghosts, Maya, foxes, rats or cats. You do not think whether it is your own problem. Well! (Master sighs.) If we practice diligently, we will eventually have inner experiences, but we must truly be diligent and not blame negative powers for disturbing or pulling us away. Actually, there is no power pulling us away except our weakness. Even if Maya bothers us, it is all because we are afraid of it.

There is an Au Lac saying, "When Maya wants to trouble you, it will look at your face first." This means that it will see whether you are fierce and courageous or not. If not, Maya will bother you. If it sees that you are more fierce than it is, it will not dare to bother you.

In "The Journey To The West," when the king of hell wanted to take the Monkey King to hell, he arrogantly said to the Monkey King, "Ha! Ha! Ha! I am the king of hell!" However, when he was defeated, he kowtowed to the Monkey King, saying, "Oh! Your Greatness! Please spare my life! Please spare my life!" (Laughter) We should be like the Monkey King. If we are too weak, we will be intimidated by Maya. If we are always afraid of Maya's power, it will come to us, because we are actually expecting it to come. Otherwise, what power in the world comes to you only but not to others?

Therefore, when we encounter obstacles, we should not be bothered. Even when we feel a negative power, we should continue with our meditation. If we cannot meditate, get up and walk around for awhile and then try again to meditate. While reciting the Holy Names and praying to the inner Master for help, we continue to meditate and see what the negative power can do to us. (Applause)

We should be positive, optimistic and courageous and then this will become our habit, because everything is created by the mind. If we lack self-confidence and courage, we will feel scared even when a rat moves; we will imagine that it is a horrible thing or that Maya or some power has come. But it may actually be just a rat. So don't be afraid of anything.
