 清海無上師以英文講於美國佛州  2001.06.07(DVD#718) 







無論你們身處何處,每天都要讓自己置身於天堂。你們要了解,不管你住在哪裡,都只是暫時的。因為你們眼睛看到的是外在的世界,耳朵聽到的是外在的聲音,所以才會認為我們處在真實的世界裡。其實不是!無論你在何處,那兒就是天堂,就是這樣。只是你忘記往內看,而一直在期待生命中會有什麼好事發生。但這不是你的人生;你的人生是在內邊(師父指向智慧眼)。你一直往外找,是不會有任何收穫的。如果你在原來的地方找不到,在別的地方也一樣找不到。



我已經告訴你如何找到天國,你自己要去找,隨時隨地都要尋找天國。如果你還在等待什麼好事發生,還在等待什麼人來改變你的人生,那你是在等待不對的東西。你沒抓到重點,那麼無論你到哪裡,都會有麻煩。我不能給你天國,我只能教你如何找到天國,因為那是你自己的。每個人都有相同的天國,如果我們能往內找,我們就看不到其他人;除了天國,什麼都不存在。可是如果你一直抓著外在的東西不放,甚至抓著小中心或道場等等,那你就有麻煩了。你在等待不對的東西,你看錯方向了。


有個小中心也不錯,這樣你們有時就可以來看我,或是留下來。因為每當你們想來看我、想問問題、或看看很久不見的朋友時,如果有個小中心,大家就有地方可以來,只是這樣。任何的小中心都是為了讓大家聚在一起,在充滿靈性及愛力的氣氛中互相交流,互相鼓勵修行。因為一個人修行很難,一起修比較容易,如此而已。


並非小中心會讓你開悟或進步,那只是讓大家有地方齊聚一堂,認識一下師兄、師姊,彼此鼓勵往內找到真正的「中心」。有些人需要這樣,有些人不需要。但多數人都需要,直到能夠獨立為止,就如同我們跟家人住在一起,直到長大成人,這就是小中心存在的目的。家庭之所以存在,就是為了讓我們有地方依靠、成長,然後才出去自力更生,就如同小鳥初生時依靠父母親,之後父母親就會把牠們趕出鳥巢,教牠們飛翔。

清海無上師以中文講於福爾摩沙西湖   1991.08.11(影帶編號#187下集)



亡魂是真的存在,地獄也是真正的存在,不過都是一切唯心造而已,看我們前世、這世做些什麼,我們死的時候就會帶著那種氣氛或期望,我們生前習慣這樣,所以死後就會被凍在那個境界裡面。有時候你們看報紙或電視報導,他們有去研究那些忽然死掉的人,或是打仗時被軍隊殺死、忽然間死去的那種人,因為他們沒有心理準備,好像被驚嚇到,那個所謂的銀帶忽然間斷了,斷得太忽然了,所以他們受不了,忽然間就被凍在那個境界裡面,像被關在一個箱子裡面逃不出來。於是他們深信自己還是在打仗,還是在軍隊裡,在那裡還每天呼呼喊喊的,然後碰到什麼都殺。他們會看到幻象,所以看到任何人都認為是敵人,還是在那裡打仗。那些在軍隊裡或是忽然間被殺死的人真的很可憐,如果沒有明師,他們逃不開他們那種境界。


自殺也是一樣,自殺的時候心情怎麼亂、怎麼痛苦的話,死了以後還是一模一樣的,不是死了以後就完全脫離苦海。沒有啦!像我們小的時候沒有學,老的時候也不會有學問啊。所以打仗那種氣氛,真的是最恐怖,讓很多亡魂跑不出他們那個境界,如果很久以後那個人脫離那種境界而再生做人的話,往往還是偏向那種生活,還是打仗、還是充滿憤怒的那種精神。這個世界真是害人不淺,所以多數的修行人,都反對戰爭,只是他們沒辦法公開;一天到晚反對,這樣會像作革命一樣,怕引起大眾誤會,或是變成那種搞政治的事情,不過他們心裡面還是很反對,因為對人民都不好,不管是用什麼名義都不好,對人不好,他們死了以後還不甘心。

The Truth Behind
War Victims


Spoken by the Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hsihu, Formosa, August 11, 1991
 (Originally in Chinese) Videotape No. 187 Part II

Ghosts exist and so does hell. However, everything is created by the mind. Depending on what we’ve done in this life or the previous life, we’ll harbor the same atmosphere or expectation when we die. After death, we’ll be frozen into that dimension to which we were habitually accustomed during our lifetime. You may have occasionally come across newspaper or television reports about research on people who died a sudden death, or on those who were killed by soldiers or suddenly lost their lives during war. Apparently they fell into a state of shock as they were not mentally prepared. The silver cord was severed abruptly, totally unexpectedly, so they couldn’t accept it. They seemed to suddenly become frozen in a certain dimension, as though they were trapped inside a box, unable to escape. Therefore, they believed that they were still fighting the battle, still in the army. They continued to shout war cries every day and kill anyone who got in their way. They would see illusions and regard anyone they saw as their enemies. They just continued fighting. Such people who are killed in battle or die all of a sudden are really miserable. Without an enlightened Master, they can never get out of that dimension.


The same thing happens in the case of suicide. The perplexed and agonized feelings a person has at the time of suicide remain after the person is dead. Death can’t liberate one from the suffering, ever! It is just like if we fail to learn well during our youth, we can’t become a learned person when we’re old. So the atmosphere of war is most terrible. Many ghosts can’t get out of their dimension. If, after a very long time, these souls manage to get out of that dimension and be reborn as humans, very often they’re still inclined to live that kind of life, battling and being full of wrath. This world causes great harm to people. So most spiritual practitioners are against wars, but can’t express themselves openly. If they kept protesting, they’d become like revolutionaries, and that could lead to misunderstanding or to them mistakenly being identified as politically motivated. Nevertheless, they are against war in their hearts because it is bad for people. It’s bad whatever the excuse. It’s bad for people; they can’t even die in peace.

清海無上師以英文講於美國德州休士頓

1993.11.13(影帶編號#393

 






用自己的智慧回答自己


你們問我什麼問題並不重要,問題的癥結在於你們忘了自己的智慧,才會來問我,要不然根本不用問。你們認為我應該什麼都懂,至少應該懂得比你們多,但你們仔細想想,我的頭腦和你們的一樣,吃的東西也一樣或差不多,事實上我吃得比你們還少,如果就這點來說,我的智慧、精力應該比不上你們才對呀!所有的答案都在你們的內邊,為什麼還要我給你們答案?



要回答你們的問題,最好的方式就是讓你們能自己回答自己,這是唯一的方式,也是最好、最永久的方法。我們的生活應該要幫助其他人認識天國、認識那個長養我們的生命、長養整個宇宙的偉大聖靈,了解到如果沒有祂,我們只不過是一個沒有用的空殼而已,即使有眼睛,也看不到;有鼻子,也聞不到;有嘴巴,也沒辦法再開口。可惜一般人都忘了這點,只將這個大力量浪費在吃喝玩樂,從來沒有想去認識這個聖靈(上帝)最重要的功用。


萬能的智慧寶庫


我們的聖靈是全宇宙最好、最高的力量,要是我們忘了祂,心裡會有好多問題得不到解答,生活也不會滿足。不管我們有多少錢、先生太太有多好看,都沒辦法讓我們真正快樂,也許偶爾快樂一下,但是不永久,就像一個人喝酒的時候會快樂幾分鐘,不過明天卻會頭痛。


這個世界上大多數的快樂都有副作用,就像吸毒一樣,問題是在這裡。要不然,我們照這個世界的方式活下去也無妨。世俗的快樂只是一種幻想,今天讓我們快樂,明天卻帶給我們更多煩惱。不是它故意這樣,也不是我們做了什麼壞事,只是因為世界上的快樂多數都有副作用,所以才不好。


那我們應該怎麼辦?我們內邊有一個解決問題的寶庫,裡面裝滿解決困難的本領,那就是偉大的聖靈,有了祂我們才有生命力,才能行動、講話、彼此認識、互相疼愛。只要我們向祂求助,就不會有問題。祂一直都在我們內邊,只不過我們忽略了祂,沒有向祂請教,沒有請這個最偉大的聖靈、至高無上的力量幫助我們。


這個力量其實就是我們本人最高的智慧,不是說有一個鬍子長長的人在那裡之類的。這個力量一直都在我們內邊,任何時候我們向祂求助,祂真的都在。不過我們必須知道怎麼求,多數人只是一直說個不停,唸了一大堆禱告文,製造許多噪音,卻沒有去聽祂給我們什麼忠告,所以才得不到答案。


 


「祕室禱告」的真義


比方你問我一個問題,然後又一直講個不停,這樣我怎麼能回答你呢?同樣地,多數人也是用這種不正確、沒有效果的方法禱告。我們要禱告也可以,但應該靜默地禱告。就像聖經所說:「你禱告的時候,要進你的內屋,關上門,向暗中的父禱告;你父在暗中察看,必然公開報答你。」(馬太福音6:6)「你們禱告的時候,不可像那假冒偽善的人,愛站在會堂裡,和十字路口禱告,故意叫人看見。」(馬太福音6:5)這是什麼意思?就是要單獨和上帝溝通。我們可以坐在千萬人當中,但是和上帝、和聖靈溝通時,必須自己一個人。透過這種方式,我們才能解決自己的問題、解答自己的疑惑。


所以我從沒有任何問題要問,因為我自己可以回答自己。我對自己有形或無形的行為、自己的身、口、意和待人處世的方式負責,一切我自己負責,你們每個人也要為自己負責。這種生活方式很簡單,但多數人卻寧願過辛苦的生活,很多人問我:「噢!妳怎麼有辦法吃素、打坐?那很辛苦,不是嗎?」我說:「不,你們的生活才辛苦,我的生活不辛苦,我過簡單的生活,對我來說,一切都很簡單、很明白。」

清海無上師以英文講於福爾摩沙西湖道場 1995.07.12(影帶編號#489)
 






 

多數明師總是告訴我們:放下一切才會擁有一切。聖經上也說:執著生命的人將失掉它;而捨棄它的人,必得永生。同樣,如果我們真的不執著任何世上的財產、名譽、虛名,那麼任何東西都會到我們這裡來。可是一旦我們被這世上的東西所奴役,我們就會永遠追在它後面跑,疲於奔命、耗盡心力,各種問題都找上門來了,還不一定得到任何東西。


真的是這樣,我是以自己的親身體驗講的。一旦我們只尋求天國,我們真的什麼都有,即使不想要,它也會自己來,硬要給我們。有時我們不想要,但卻非接受不可;有時連要拒絕也很困難。我們這裡是很嚴格的,這樣對我很好,否則會有各種禮物擺得到處都是。之前,我說過不接受供養,有人就把禮物丟著,然後跑掉,可憐的我還得把它們撿起來送給其他人,所以給我這些有什麼用?我真的不需要什麼東西。



真的很好笑!就像聖經中講的:「有的人將擁有更多,而沒有的人將擁有更少。」這不是說如果你已經沒有東西了,你會擁有更少,而是說當你們覺得匱乏時,通常就會一直要、一直要,而這種「渴求」的能量會像一堵牆,反而阻擋一切流向你的東西。同樣,我們修行必須虔誠,而非貪婪,不是像那種執著物質的修行人。


一切都會自然地到來。我們可以禱告,但是要有誠意,心不貪婪、不索求無度,這之間有非常微細的差別。如果你能了解欲求和誠心渴望解脫、尋求智慧真理之間的區別,就會知道渴望了解真理和貪欲,兩者的差別非常微細。


如果沒有平衡好,就會陷在其中一方。如果我們是待在比較誠心渴望修行的那一邊,那就好。這樣的話,那天打坐會很好。但是我們不必每天這樣祈禱,除非是我們做不到的時候(師父指向智慧眼)。有時情況很糟,你誠摯地向師父禱告就會有用,一定有用。在接手這個「生意」以前,我很少看到內在師父不回應或拒絕人們的禱告。當內在師父拒絕的時候,其實也許是那個請求對自己不好,以後自己會明白。有時師父從我們這兒拿走什麼東西,我們感到很懊惱,認為師父不照顧:「師父知道我喜歡這個,為什麼還把它拿走?」但事實並非如此。日後,你會很高興當初師父幫你擺脫它,真的是這樣。


我不保證如果你祈求,師父就會給你一個好的先生或太太,漂亮又忠誠,然後你就很幸福了。不!那個代價是很大的。這個差事很辛苦,如果你要,你可以擁有,並且為此努力,但是不要總是說:「師父,請你幫我!」因為業障的關係,師父不能介入這種問題。各人有各人的業障才結為夫妻、父母、子女等等,而你們的關係是苦是樂,要看彼此之間是什麼業障而定。


如果你完全都不要也可以,師父可以把它徹底清除,這樣比較快,清除比日後慢慢處理業障要快多了。不過我們多數人一生下來就有定業,在生前就發願與哪個人在一起,為了加強我們身、心、靈的力量,為了繼續在這個世上的工作,所以我們是自願的。


但是有許多人不想這樣做,所以他們跑去出家,或做一些義工,把他們的時間、青春和精力,奉獻在生命中更有意義的目的上,這樣也可以消除業障。這些人是比較堅強的,他們不需要從旁協助或背後的支持,他們可以獨立自主。但是大多數人覺得生活很孤單、無意義,所以需要別人一起分擔生活中的起起伏伏、點點滴滴、以及遭遇的困難。


沒關係,兩者都可以。那些單獨生活的人,靠工作、奉獻及追求生命中其他的理想來鍛鍊自己,而那些和伴侶一起生活的人,則靠彼此給予對方力量,因此兩者都各有不同的方法來獲得力量。上帝會一直彌補我們不足的地方,所以我們有內在師父的力量補給,我們的生活不會太難過或無法忍受。我們打坐,就對這一世真的沒有太多欲望,這樣日子會更好過,我們對任何事會更不執著,對待別人時也不會奢求什麼。


這正是修持內在力量帶來的非常好的利益。有一天,欲望會完全不見,我們的內在會感到非常快樂、非常滿足,除非有人需要幫忙,否則我們不會沒事找事,更不會硬要去幫忙別人,說:「哇!你看起來好懊惱,我來幫你。」不會!不會!我們怎樣都好。不管幫忙或不幫忙、說或不說、教或不教,我們都很自在,因為我們內在變得圓滿而充實。我們不需要任何外在的刺激、動機,或覺得需要達成什麼目標,也不想炫耀自己的慈悲心,或是覺得為了愛而承擔責任,沒有任何罣礙!

Forsake Everything, 
and then You Will Have Everything





Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hsihu Center , Formosa, 
July 12, 1995 (Originally in English) Videotape #489


Most of the Masters always tell us that if we forsake everything, then we will have everything. In the Bible, it’s also said, “Whoever holds on to dear life,” like holding onto their life, “will lose it. But whoever forsakes it will attain eternal life.” Likewise, if we do not really feel attached or attach ourselves to any possession, fame or name in this world, then everything really comes to us. But once we are enslaved for anything in this world at all, then we’ll be forever running after it, and we’ll become exhausted, taxing our mental abilities. All kinds of trouble will come our way, and we won’t necessarily attain anything.



It is truly like that. I speak from my own experience, too. Once we seek only the kingdom of God, we truly have everything. Even when we don’t want, it just comes from nowhere; they force their way to us. Sometimes we don’t want to, but we just have to accept it. It is very difficult also, very difficult to reject sometimes. We are very strict here, which is good for me. Otherwise, gifts would be laying all over everywhere. Before, I said, “Don’t accept gifts!” but then people threw them there and ran away. And then, poor me! I had to collect them together and give to someone else. So what is the use? Because I don’t really need anything.


It’s funny! Like the Bible says, “The one who has, will have more;” “the one who doesn’t have anything, will have less.” But that doesn’t mean that if you don’t have anything, you’ll have even less. It’s just that when you don’t have anything, then you mostly want: you want and keep wanting. And the wanting energy acts just like a wall, stopping everything from coming to you. Similarly, we have to be sincere in our spiritual practice but not greedy and not like materialistic spiritualists.


Everything will come naturally. We may pray, but with sincerity, not with greed and demand. There is a very, very slight difference! If you can know the difference between desire and the yearning or longing for liberation, longing for wisdom and longing to know the Truth - between yearning to know the Truth and greedy desire, there is a very slight difference.


If we don’t balance ourselves well, we will step on one side or another. It’s good when we step on the other side, of more spiritual yearning. Then that day we meditate very well. But we don’t have to pray every day like that, only when we can’t make it. (Master gestures toward the wisdom eye.) Sometimes when it’s black, or when things look dark and gray, then you pray earnestly to the Master, and it happens. It always happens. Before I took over this "business," very rarely did I see that the Master didn’t answer. The inner Master rarely refuses your prayer. When the Master did refuse, it meant that request might be no good for me. Later, I would find out. Sometimes the Master takes away something from us, and then we feel very miserable. We think, “Master doesn’t care; Master knows I like it, so why does He take away?” But it’s not true. Later, you’ll be so happy that He got rid it for you. It is like that.


I cannot guarantee you that if you pray to the Master, the Master will give you a good husband or a good wife, a beautiful and very faithful one, and then you’ll be happy. No! The price is very great. The work is very hard. If you want, you may have, and then work for it. But don’t always say, “Master, please help me!” Master cannot interfere in such problems, because there is karma. There is the karma of every person who joins together as husband and wife, as father and mother and children and so on. There is karma. And depending on what kind of karma you have, your relationship will be sweet or sour.


If you don’t want it altogether, that’s OK too. Master can annihilate that; it is quicker. It’s quicker to get rid of than to sustain later. But most of us are born with a fixed karma, and before we are born, we are willing to join with such-and-such person in order to strengthen our physical, spiritual and mental power, in order to continue the work in this world. So we are very willing to do that.


But many people are not willing, so they run away and become monks and nuns, or do some volunteer work by spending their time, youth and energy on a more meaningful purpose in life. That also will level the karma away. These are people who are stronger and do not need support, beside them or behind them. They can go it all alone. But many people find life very lonely and meaningless, so they need someone to share their ups and downs, the ins and outs and troubles of life.


That’s all right; both are all right. The one who lives alone strengthens himself or herself with works, with sacrifice and with other pursuits in life. And the ones who live with company strengthen each other by each other’s strength, too. So both will be strengthened somewhat in different ways. God will always make up for the short of supply. So life will never be made too miserable or unbearable for us, if we have an inner supply of the Master power. We meditate, and we really do not desire much of this life. The days go by easier; we do everything with less attachment and we look at other people with less desire.


That is the very good thing about practicing inner power. One day, the desire is lost completely. We feel so happy inside and so fulfilled that unless other people need us, we don’t go looking for trouble. We don’t even go looking for help, like saying, “Wow! You look miserable. I’ll help you.” No, no! We’re just OK. Whether we help or don’t help, talk or don’t talk, teach or don’t teach, we’re OK; because we have become completely whole and fulfilled within ourselves. We don’t need any external stimulation, motive, goal to reach, compassion to boast about or love to carry on the shoulder. Nothing!

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.07



有時我們把錢浪費在很多不必要的事物上,不然,生活開銷會更少,也會更有樂趣。兩天前我在電視上看到一個節目,提到有個人原本要花二十年才能還清貸款,但有位專家來指導這對夫婦如何在兩年內還清,結果他們真的辦到了!


這位專家一一查出他們必須刪減的開銷,比方說那位先生喜歡買各種小玩意,專家便告訴他:「你不需要這些東西!」他買了很多小玩意,但後來都只是擱在一旁。所以他們第一步就是將那些東西統統清出來,以舊貨拍賣的方式賣掉,換回一些錢。從那時起,如果他要買東西,就必須考慮清楚是否真的有必要!不然就不要買,這是第一件事。


第二件事就是不要每天都去餐廳、咖啡館或自助餐廳用餐,他們自己準備三明治作為午餐,也自己帶咖啡,這樣每個月就可省下很多錢。不是一次就省下很多,而是這裡省一點、那裡省一點,加起來就很可觀。


最初的六個月,他們省下大約六千英鎊,僅僅六個月而已!平均一個月省一千英鎊,這裡省一點,那裡省一點。比如說那位女士也抽菸,專家便指出每星期一包菸要花費十四英鎊左右。她並不是一天抽兩、三包菸,不過專家算一算,這樣一兩年下來,買菸的錢竟也能買輛車了!兩年過得很快,如果不抽菸就可以買一輛車!我希望你們都不抽!(大眾笑)


此外,他們改搭火車上班,不再開車。這樣更便宜、省時且安全,還可以坐著看報紙,吸收各種資訊,或是讀師父的經書等,也可以利用坐火車的時間學些新的東西。所以他們又省了一筆錢,每個月大概省一百或五十英鎊。不只這樣,應該更多!現在汽油很貴,是嗎?如果你經常開車到處跑,像是開車上班,可能花更多錢。當然這要看你去哪裡而定,不過要是改搭火車而不要開車上班的話,每個月起碼可以省下幾百英鎊,不是嗎?(同修:你也需要停車!)對,停車位之類的問題,所以這樣又省下多少錢?你們其中一個告訴我,如果不開車上班,每個月可以省多少錢?


同修 甲:大約兩百英鎊,因為還要加上保險費、公路稅以及停車費。


師父:我了解。即使你不開車,還是得付保險費和公路稅嗎?(同修甲:如果你處理掉車子,就不用付保險費。)不,我是說即使車子都停在車庫,你仍然必須繳稅,是嗎?(同修甲:是!)還是可以少繳一點?(同修甲:你可以少繳一些保險費,以美國為例,如果你能證明一星期開車不超過一次,就可少繳一點。)喔,這樣更省錢!好, 如果算每個月省兩百英鎊,哇!一年就省了兩千四百英鎊!那可以買好多東西了。十年可以省多少錢?(同修甲:兩萬四千英鎊,如果把這筆錢拿去投資,會賺更多。)沒錯!會有更多利息。好,所以兩年就可以省 大約四千英鎊,是嗎?(同修甲:兩年可省下四千八百英鎊,再加上利息,大約有五千五百英鎊。)哇!你們看!有了五千五百英鎊,就可以去喜馬拉雅山打坐五年,什麼事都不用做。(大眾笑)


同修甲師父,或許我幫得上忙,我是財務分析師。


師父:我現在就是在做分析!我分析這些給他們聽,當作例子參考。不只這些,還有許多其他方面,比方說,不要買當季流行的服飾,而買折價的衣服,或者等到冬季折扣或季末出清時再買,這樣就可以省下很多錢。穿些簡單實穿的衣服,就不用經常改變造型或趕流行之類的。如果你想過自在的生活,就不能時時打扮時髦。我們也不需要那樣,或許偶爾在一些特殊情況,比方說你去上班,參加正式的會談,或是有些工作需要穿體面的衣服,那時你才會需要那些。但是不必花很多錢買名牌服飾,有一些比較便宜的衣服也很好看。我只是舉個例子來說明。


這對夫妻不但省下那些開銷,還去兼差。太太擅長唱歌,先生則擅長做其他的事,於是他們每星期出去兼差賺一些外快。因為省錢就是賺錢,當然,如果賺越多,不斷地累積起來也是很可觀。


所以有很多方法可以過個快樂的生活,而不必工作太多,不用日以繼夜地燃燒生命、辛苦工作。除此之外,你們又不喝酒,這樣每個月可以省下多少錢,你們知道嗎?(同修:知道。)比方說你每天少喝兩、三罐啤酒,一個月可以省下多少錢?(同修乙:兩百英鎊。)輕而易舉就省下兩百英鎊!因為不只你一個人在喝酒,朋友會來,然後大家就一起喝酒,接著他回請你,你又回請他,於是越喝越多,事情總是這樣。不僅如此,喝酒還會傷身,你必須更常去看醫生,付很多醫藥費,保險金額也因而提高。你越常生病,保險費就越高。下次你想辦醫療保險時,他們會調查你多久去看醫生一次,病情有多重,然後提高你的保險費。


還不只這樣,萬一酒後發生意外,可能會斷送生命,或賠上你的手腳。套句英國人的說法:那會讓你的荷包嚴重「失血」(師父和同修笑)。如果你死了,故事到此就結束,那還好!如果你沒死,那你就必須永遠依賴別人生活,可能需要醫療、呼吸器或氧氣輔助設備來維生。你只能躺在那邊,成為家人和社會的負擔,讓每個人感到難過。


所以撇開打坐的利益不談,光是我的工作及教理就已經省去你們很多麻煩。即使你沒有打坐、看不到佛菩薩或沒有成佛,你也安全了。對你個人以及世界而言,你都是安全的公民。酒後駕車每天導致成千上萬的人喪命!世界各地每天都有很多人因酒後駕車而喪生,不只喝酒的駕駛會喪生,也會殃及周圍無辜的人,包括婦女、孩童、孕婦,任何人都有可能!這個你們都知道,是嗎?所以我們的教理對你們有好處,是不是?對我的教理有什麼要抱怨的嗎?(大眾笑)有的舉手,沒有嗎?很好!

Life Can Be
 Less Expensive and More Joyful





Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, 
Surrey, United Kingdom, 
January 7, 2006, 
(Originally in English)

Sometimes we just waste money on so many things that we don’t need. Otherwise, our life can be less expensive and more joyful. There was a program on TV that I watched two days ago. It said there was a guy who was supposed to pay the mortgage for twenty years. But there was one expert who came and taught the couple how to pay it in two years only. And they really did!


He came and checked out whatever they had to cut. For example, the husband loved to buy all kinds of gadgets. So he said, “Well, you don’t need’ them!” The man would buy a lot, and he’d just leave them laying there. So, number one, they took them all out and sold them at a garage sale to take some money in. And from then on, if he has to buy something, he has to consider that it must be really necessary! Otherwise, don’t buy it. That’s the number one thing.


Number two, instead of going to the restaurant to eat every day, or the coffee shop or cafeteria, they just pack a sandwich lunch and take their own coffee. And then they save a lot every month. Not a lot but here and there, and it adds up.


In the first six months, they saved about six thousand pounds. In six months! So, that’s one thousand per month of a little bit here, a little bit there. For example, the girl also smoked, and he pointed out that one package per week cost 14 pounds or something per week. She didn’t even smoke two or three packages a day, but he calculated that in one whole year or two years, she could even buy a car! Two years passes very quickly. So, you could even buy a car if you don’t smoke! I hope you don’t! (Laughter)


Then, instead of going by car to work, they go by train. It’s cheaper and quicker and safer. You sit there and read newspaper, catch up with things, read Master’s books or whatever. Or, learn something new while sitting on the train. So they save another, maybe 100 or 50 per month. No, more! Petrol is very costly nowadays, right? And if you keep running here and there all the time, like going to work, it probably costs more. It depends on where you go, of course, but at least you save a couple of hundred pounds per month if you go by train and not go by car to work. Or not? (Practitioner: You’ve got parking, as well.) Yes, parking space and everything. So, how much do you save? One of you tell me. If you don’t go by car to work, how much do you save per month?


Practitioner 1 (P1): Probably two hundred because there’s insurance and road tax and parking.


M: I know, but even if you don’t go by car, you still have to pay for insurance and road tax, right? (P1: When you give up your car, then you don’t pay for insurance.) No, what I mean is, if you have a car lying around in the garage, you still have to pay, right? (P1: Yes.) Or you pay less, or not? (P1: You can pay less on the insurance because in America, you pay less if you prove that you don’t ride more than once a week.) Oh, that’s even cheaper! Well, just say 200 per month. Wow, 2400! You can buy a lot of things with that. In ten years, you have how much? (P1: 24,000. But if you invest it, you will have a lot more.) Yes, yes! You have more interest. OK, so maybe you have about four thousand in two years? (P1: You will have 4800 in two years, and then with interest, probably five and half thousand.) Wow! OK, see that? Five and a half thousand, you can go into the Himalayas and sit there for five years, doing nothing. (Everyone laughs.)


P1: Master, maybe I can help. I’m a financial analyst.


M: I’m doing just that! I’m doing this analyzing for them as an example. And that is not all; there are many other things, like you go buy the clothes on sale instead of buying the trendy ones. Or wait until the winter sales, also the end-of-season sales, and you save a lot more money. And wear simple, practical clothes, so you don’t always have to change and be in the mode, or anything like that. If you want to live a free life, you can’t always be modish. We don’t even need that. Occasionally maybe, for something special, like if you go to work and you have to have an interview, or some job that needs presentable clothes, maybe then you need them. But you don’t have to pay a lot of money for brand names. There are some cheaper clothes that look as good. That’s for example.


But the two couples, not only did they save on those things, they also worked extra. She was good at singing, and he was good at doing some other thing. So they would go out to work and bring in extra income every week. Because every money you earn that you save, that means you’re earning as well. And of course if you earn more, then it adds up, all the time.


So, there are many ways we can live a happy life without having to work a lot, or without having to toil day and night - just to burn it. Plus, in all of that, you don’t drink alcohol. You don’t know how much it saves you every month, do you? Do you know? (Audience: Yes.) For example, if you drink, say, a couple of beers every day, how much would you save a month? (P2: Two hundred.) Two hundred easily, yes! Because not only do you drink, the friends come, and then all of them drink together. And then he invites you and you invite him, and then more and more; it’s always more. And not only that, it costs your health. You have to go more to doctor, pay lots of money for medicine, and your insurance mounts up. If you are more sick, the insurance gets more money. The next time you want to insure your health, they will check how often you visit doctors and how ill you are, then they will just raise the fees.


Not only that, if you have an accident, it might cost you your life or your arms or your legs even. It might cost you an arm and a leg, (Master and everyone laugh) the way the English people say it! And then, if you die, that’s the end of the story, fine! But if you don’t die, then you will be dependent forever: maybe on health support or air support, oxygen support, and then you just lie there being a burden to your family and society and making sadness for everyone.


So, don’t talk about the benefits of meditation or anything. My job and my teachings already clear you of a lot of trouble. Even if you don’t meditate at all and if you don’t see any Buddha, or you don’t become a Buddha, you’re already safe: a safe citizen for yourself and for the world. Because drinking and driving kills thousands, tens of thousands of people every day! Around the world, hundreds of thousands of people die every day because of drinking and driving. Not only the driver, the other drivers around him as well, including women, children, pregnant people, anyone! You know that, right? So our teaching is good for you, yes or no? Any complaints about my teaching? (Laughter) Raise your hand. No? Good!

清海無上師以英文講於新加坡共修會 1994.09.28(影帶編號#446


 


現今仍有很多疾病會造成無數的人死亡,每年大約有一千八百萬人死於各種疾病。因為有些人沒有小心保護上帝賜給我們的寶貴身體,來執行我們在人世間的使命,以達成某些目的,同時了悟我們的萬能力量。比方說,有些人抽菸過多、飲酒過量、吃太多肉,而使肉類中的細菌進入體內等等,這些致命因素再再使我們的生活變得很痛苦。


 


事實上我們可以活得更好。如果我們生活更有規律,更愛惜我們的身體,只吃滋養身體的食物,而不貪求口腹之欲,並且攝取適量,這樣當然就不會危害到我們的健康。大多數人吃素以後,都變得更健康了,你們很多人印心吃素以後都變得更加健康,是不是這樣?(大眾答:是)事實上醫院裡滿滿吃肉的人。毫無疑問,我們從這裡就可以得到證明。不僅因為素食本身有益健康,而且植物的振動力和我們的身體很協調,但是動物的振動力就不是那麼和諧、平靜。


 


事實上,要過簡單、健康的生活很容易,並不需要吃這麼多藥、打這麼多針。很多人把有毒的物質吃進體內,自己傷害自己。要是我們知道如何過一個簡單、營養、健康的生活,我們真的不需要常看醫生。這樣醫生就會有更多的假日, 雙方都可以保持健康。


能量越使用,
越能從宇宙中吸取更多


不用擔心工作辛苦;你們應該工作消耗能量,因為我們體內有七個「能量中心」可以從宇宙吸取能量。它們就像蓄電池一樣,宇宙力量會自動對它們充電,因此我們才能夠一直運轉這部「人身機器」。而且當我們打坐時,這個力量會更加充足。我們釋放越多,這個力量就進來越多,源源不斷,所以不用擔心。


 


不用擔心業障,不用擔心幫助別人會收到業障什麼的。如果別人需要幫忙,我們就幫忙。只有當我們想介入別人的思想,想控制他們,或是為了私人的目的,叫他們做我們要他們做的事,那時我們才會造業障。否則,如果我們有愛心,在別人需要時幫助他們,即使真的因此而收到業障也沒關係,一點關係都沒有,因為我們應該為彼此犧牲,應該一起生活在愛中,而不要去管業障。


 


我們必須時時保持肯定的能量,即使只是想法肯定,如果你看得到自己的靈體,就會發現你四周「氣」的形態、你的外貌和內在能量,都隨著你每一個肯定的思想而改變,變得更活力充沛、更健康。反之,若想法否定,只要想到任何負面、不好或痛苦的事,你周圍的「氣」也會立刻隨之變改。任何有靈力的人都看得到這種改變。這就是為什麼有些人可以看出別人的心思,因為當你靠近他們時,他們就看到了你的「氣」,看到與你身體相對應部位的能量在變改。


 


這種對應的能量,其外形看起來就像真的器官一樣。比方說,心臟看起來像這樣;如果有人把你的心臟拿走,那麼心臟的位置就空了,可是仍有某種類似心臟形狀的東西在那裡,那就是對應於心臟的能量。有時這個能量會有毛病,並不是真的心臟出毛病,那時就必須修理這個能量。只要思想肯定、生活簡單健康,你們就是自己最好的醫生。生活簡單,思想崇高,時時想法肯定;即使只是想而已,就足以改變你們的生活型態、日子和命運。所以要時時保持肯定,這樣就可以避免很多意外和疾病。


 


上帝一直在我們身邊,十方明師一直保護著我們,我們真正的並非孤獨地在這世界做事。我們每個人都有天使守護著,雖然看不見,但化身師父也一直守護著我們。就算你不相信天使和聖靈,也應該相信上帝的存在,否則不會有我們的存在。


多數的問題都是我們自己造的,來自我們否定的想法、負面的行動,以及受到別人否定力量的影響。有時我們去看病,醫生會說有些病是我們自己造成的。不是因為我們想生病,而是因為失去抵抗力。例如,平時你都不會過敏,但是每當你身體衰弱、心情沮喪、工作過度、精疲力竭時,就會過敏。你每天吃同樣的食物都不會過敏,但是有一天就過敏了,很可能是因為那時你的抵抗力很弱,免疫系統暫時故障了。然而只要你的想法肯定,病很快就好了。


 


萬一如果免疫系統故障、失靈,而且很難修復的話,那時就很糟糕,生死難卜了。所以要儘量保護自己的免疫系統,不要讓它故障。身、口、意要保持肯定,以維護你們的免疫系統,這很簡單做到。光是思想肯定,對你們就已經有莫大的幫助。事實上當你們精進修行時,有時會感覺不到肉體的存在,是不是這樣?你們有這種體驗嗎?(同修:有)感覺很輕鬆,對嗎?就像你在開車,但實際開車的人不是你,而是別人,你根本不用費力。這就是我們輕鬆地生活在這個物質世界的方法,那時我們可以用更輕鬆的方式做很多事,而不再覺得精疲力盡。我們打坐越多,感覺越好,而且工作越快,沒問題。


 


你們也要儘量把這個消息傳播給世人,拯救他們脫離苦難。儘量安慰他們,告訴他們這個好消息:只要修習這個古老的智慧法門,和自己內在的天國、內在的佛性溝通,他們就會過得更輕鬆、更偉大、更快樂。當他們還在世時,不會覺得如此痛苦、精疲力竭、心情鬱悶和寂寞。這是拯救人類的唯一良方。雖然看起來好像有很多災難降臨這個世界,但事實上,我不認為世界會這麼快就毀滅。也許某些方面、某些人會滅亡,但是有道德、善良的人會留下來照顧下一代。而且有你們打坐、共修、默禱時所發出的肯定力量的幫助,這個世界會比我們期望的更好,所以我希望你們把這個好消息傳播給世人。



回歸正當的生活方式


一個人也可以產生很大的改變。如果你真正相信自己的美意、相信自己所做的事是對的,你就會影響別人;但是如果你不相信,別人就會影響你。因此要做個個性堅強的人,擇善固執,不要讓別人動搖你,因為這世上好的典範很少。所以要讓自己成為好榜樣,盡力做好每一件事,這樣別人就會知道:你因為修行而變得更好,你真的對社會很有幫助。這就是你們進步的方法,這就是你們幫助別人的方法,也是我們挽救世界免於毀滅的方法。因為世界上有很多自我毀滅的毒品和武器,以及人們的生活方式、大家相互染來染去,這些都可能會造成世界末日,毫無疑問,根本不用觀測天象也會知道。


 


如果我們愛這個星球,我們認為這是個美麗的地方;它真的很美麗,要形成一個像現在這麼漂亮的地球,需要百千萬億年的時間,所以我們也該有所貢獻。如果能夠的話,我們就把地球修復好。當然,如果我們已經盡力了,而世界末日仍然到來,那就順其自然!可是只要能修理,我們就修理。所以盡力傳播這個好消息,讓世人回歸自然正當的生活方式,也就是吃素、有道德、持戒、生活簡單和思想肯定,這樣我們的世界就沒問題,而且人類很可能還會在更好的環境下再生活數千年。現在有兩種選擇:一個是全部滅亡;另一個是生活各方面和靈性都向前邁進。未來真的掌握在我們手中,沒有外星人能夠介入,沒有上帝懲罰我們,也沒有佛菩薩加持我們,只有靠我們自己作選擇。要作出明智的選擇,這樣我們才會成長。

Master Says


 


 


 


 


 


 







Positive Thinking, 
Healthy Life




Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Singapore, September 28, 1994
(Originally in English) Videotape #446

Nowadays many sicknesses still kill millions of people. About 18 million a year die from different diseases because some of us do not take precautions to guard our precious body, which is given by God to do some mission on earth for some purpose and also to realize our almighty power. For example, we smoke too much, we drink too much, we eat too much flesh and invite all these bacteria from the flesh into our systems, etc. All these killing factors make our lives a miserable time. Actually, we could live a better life if we organize more, if we appreciate our body more. And if we eat just nutritious food for our body, and not eat because of the taste, and eat just a reasonable amount, then of course, our health will not be so much endangered. Most of the vegetarian people become healthier. Many of you became healthier after taking initiation and switching to a vegetarian diet. Is that not so? (Audience: Yes!) Actually, the hospital is full of meat-eating people. No problem. We can see the proof there. Not only because the vegetarian diet is healthy in itself, but also because the vibrations are very harmonious to our body whereas the vibrations of the animals are not that harmonious, not so peaceful.


Actually it is very easy to live a simple and healthy life. There is no need for so much medicine, no need for so many injections. Many of us harm ourselves because we bring poisonous substances into our body. If we know how to live a simple, nutritious, healthy life, we really don’t need doctors so much. The doctor can have more holidays and both stay healthy.


 


The More Energy We Use, 
the More We Receive from the Universal Power


Don’t worry about hard work; you should work and spend your energy because in our bodies, there are about seven chakras which can draw in the energy from the universe. They are just like a battery automatically charged by Universal Power. That’s why we can run our machine all the time. And when we meditate, this power is even in more abundance. The more we give, the more it comes in; it will never stop, so we don’t worry.


Don’t worry about karma; helping people and taking the karma and all that. If people need help, you help. It’s only when we try to interfere with the people’s minds, like trying to control them, or trying to tell them to do what we want them to do for a selfish purpose, then we will create karma. Otherwise, if we love people and we want to help them in their time of need, even if we truly get karma from them, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter at all because we should sacrifice for each other. We should live with each other in love and don’t mind the karma.


We must always keep positive energy because even if you think positive, even just thinking positive, if you can see your body, you will see each positive thought will change the pattern of the aura, change your outlook, and change your energy inside. It becomes more over-flowing and healthy. But if you think negative, just think anything negative, bad or miserable, and then your pattern changes immediately. Any psychic person can see this. That’s why some people can read your mind, because when you come in, they can see your aura. They can see the pattern change in the energy counterpart of your body. The energy counterpart is the shape of energy which looks like the shape of your real organ. For example, your heart is like this. Suppose someone took your heart away and that heart-place is empty, but still, it has the shape of your heart in it - something is there. That is the energy counterpart of the heart. Sometimes this energy counterpart has problems, not the real heart, and so they have to fix it. You are the best doctor for yourself if you think positive, live a healthy and simple life -- simple living and high thinking. Always think positive. Even just thinking changes your pattern of living, changes your day and changes your fortune. So always try to keep being positive. Then a lot of accidents, a lot of illnesses can be avoided.


God is always around you. Masters from the ten directions are always protecting you. It is true that we are not left alone in this world to do all things ourselves. We are always protected by angels, everyone of us. And we are always guarded by the Master’s spirit even though we don’t see it. Even if you don’t believe in angels and spirit, you must believe there is a God who exists. Otherwise, we don’t exist.


Most of the problems are our own making because we think negative, we act negative and we let the negative influence from the people affect us. Sometimes, if you go to see the doctor, they will tell you that some of the diseases are self-made. Not because you want the disease only but you are run down in resistance. For example, like an allergy. Sometimes you never get it, but every time you get run down, you are depressed, you are overworked, you are exhausted, then the allergy will come. You eat the same food every day and have no allergy. But one day, you have it. It’s because, at that time, probably your resistance is very low. Your defense system temporarily broke down or something like that; whereas if you think positively, the disease will also go quickly.


Sometimes the defense system is so run down, it’s like broke down, and it’s very difficult to fix it. At that time, then it’s too bad; either we live or we die. So try to take care of your system and don’t let it break down. Try to take care of your system by acting positive, thinking positive, talking positive. That is very simple. Even just thinking positive is already a tremendous help to you. Actually, when you practice very hard, sometimes you don’t feel the body. Is that not so? You have this experience? (Yes.) You feel very light, right? Like you are driving but it is not you who drives; it is someone else. No effort. That’s how we achieve effortlessness in the physical dimension. And then we can do many things in a lighter way and we don’t feel so exhausted any more. The more we meditate, the better we feel, and the faster we work, and no problem.


You must also try to pass on the news for our fellow beings to rescue them from their misery. Try to comfort them and bring them the good news that they could be lighter, greater, happier in their lives if they practice the age-old wisdom, getting in contact with the kingdom of God within themselves, with the Buddha-nature within themselves. Then they don’t feel so miserable, worn-out or blocked, and lonely in this world. That’s the only cure for mankind. Actually it looks like so many disasters are coming to the world, but I don’t feel like the world is going to end so quickly. Maybe it will end in some parts; maybe there will be a great destruction for different people, but the virtuous people, the blameless persons, will be preserved for the next generation. And with the help of the positive energy from you during your meditation, during the group gathering, during your silent prayers time, our world is preserved in a greater degree than we might have hoped for. And that’s why I hope that you spread more good news to people.


 


Go Back to the Righteous Way of Life


One person makes a lot of difference. If you truly believe in your goodness, in what you are doing, you will influence other people. But if you don’t believe, they will influence you. Then try to make a strong person out of your personality. Whatever you believe is good, stick to it and don’t let other people make you waver because a good example in this world is rare. So make yourself a good example. Try your best in everything so that people will know that, because you practice, you have become better. And you really are being useful for society. That’s how you improve. That’s how you help other people. That’s how we rescue the world from the great destruction that may be coming because of a lot of self-destructive drugs and weapons, the way we live our life and the way we infect each other. It could be the end of the world. There is no doubt about it. No need to see the moon, the sun or anything. If we love this planet— we think it’s a beautiful place, which it is—it takes billions, trillions of years to make one until it is beautiful like today, so beautiful like this. So we have to also make a contribution. If we can, we fix it. Of course after all, if we try our best and still the end of the world comes, then let it be. But if we can fix it, we do it. So spread the good news and let the people go back to the natural way of life, the righteous way of life; that is, being vegetarian, being virtuous, keeping precepts, living a simple life and positive thinking. Then our world will be no problem. And we will probably live a few more thousand years in a better condition. There are two choices now: one is total destruction; another is to go ahead with progress in all ways of life, including spiritual. And the future is in our hands, really. There are no aliens who can do anything about it. There is no God who punishes us. There is no Buddha who blesses us. It’s only ourselves. We have to make a choice. That’s how we grow: by making good choices.

性質:打禪
用語:英文

清海無上師以英文講於美國佛州小中心 2001.12.23(DVD#725)


我們修行人並不是坐在那裡就好,還有各種事情要做:要研習教理、要遵守戒律、要打坐,還要去看師父--這是額外的發紅。此外,我們還要把所學的教理付諸實行,把我們靈修所獲得的智慧和力量加以運用,把修行進步而發展的慈悲心發揮出來。


所以我們不是只有坐在那裡不動而已,還有做很多事情:我們有打坐、有想念最高的上帝、與內在至高無上的力量溝通,除此之外,我們也保有高尚的道德情操,努力做個好人、好男孩、好女孩。而當我們與內在的靈性力量溝通後,又發展出更多的愛心、慈悲心和智慧,所以我們生活簡單,過得更舒服自在。生活簡單的話,我們就不需要像以前那麼辛苦工作,反而賺得更多,因為省一塊錢就等於賺一塊錢。


你們現在生活比較簡單,就算從事同樣的工作,也比以前更有錢。或許有的人會從事比較輕鬆的工作,因為他們懂得安排自己的生活,不管生活情況如何,都感到很滿足,物質欲望不會日益坐大。事實上,東西越多,只會帶來更多麻煩,讓人更頭痛和浪費更多錢而已!為了賺更多錢,就必須做更多工作;做更多工作,就得付出更高的健康代價,消耗更多時間與精力。結果我們的時間沒有用來打坐,沒有用來致力於好的事情,卻浪費在賺錢上。賺了更多錢,又要繳更多稅,而且工作業務太多的話,就必須花時間照顧更多事情,付更多錢給會計師。


現在我們生活比較簡單,就會有更多時間;有更多時間,就可以多打坐、多發展智慧,還可以多參與慈善工作,為我們自己和周遭的人帶來更多快樂。有更多時間,也表示說工作比較少,所以身體會更健康,而且會有更多時間與家人相聚,如此一來,我們的婚姻和家庭會更加幸福美滿。


修行帶來這麼多好處,如果全世界的人都知道的話,他們就會放下一切來打坐,跟隨我們的生活方式,因為這真的是我們唯一應該遵循的生活方式。我們並不是捨棄其他方面,而是只要遵循這種生活方式,其他方面也會獲得改善,還有生活上各種以前沒空做的事情,現在都可以獲得提昇。


你們工作比較少的話,身體會更健康,還可以多省一些錢;有多一些錢,有時候就可以去參加打禪,回復自己的靈性等級,並恢復健康。省下來的錢,又可以拿來幫助別人。以前你認為自己沒錢做慈善工作,現在到處都看得到你們的愛心活動:你們幫助美國、阿根廷、智利、阿富汗、非洲等等地方,雖然你們賺的錢和以前一樣,卻可以為世界各地提供援助。


你們不只是有能力幫助別人而已,又可以保留時間給自己,彌補因忙於工作或忙於服務世界而疏於照顧自己的地方,然後你們又變得更有智慧、更仁慈、更溫柔親切,更有愛心、包容心、諒解心,好多、好多美好的事物降臨在你們身上!你們內在和外在都變得越來越富有,連外表也變得更好看,青春常駐,少病痛,即使生病,也會很快復原。


各方面變得這麼美好,就是因為你們過的是理想的生活方式,這是唯一的生活方式,也是天國的生活方式。遵循天國的生活方式,找到內在的天國,一切將隨之而來,這才是真正實踐聖經與佛經的教理。我們唯一要做的,就是把教理付諸實行。


佛陀強調慈悲、智慧和愛心,這些你們都足了。耶穌強調找到內在的天國,當然,還要愛你的鄰居、愛你的敵人等。找到內在的天國,意思是說得到大智慧,達到天國的等級;與天國溝通,意思是說像上帝一樣有智慧,或至少和上帝差不多,或是越來越接近上帝,這些你們也都做到了。聖經所提到的、所要求的、所強調的,你們都做到了。你們越修行,成果就越多,難怪你們看起來這麼快樂!

Lead a Life in God’s Way and Everything Shall Be Added onto You






 


Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, 
Florida, U.S.A. December 23, 2001 
(Originally in English) Videotape #725



 


As practitioners, we don’t just sit there. We have all kinds of things to do. We have theories to study, we have precepts to keep, and we have meditation to practice. We have the Master to see, and that’s a bonus. But we also have to put what we learn into action, to exercise our wisdom and power of spiritual achievement, and the compassion we develop along with our spiritual improvement.


So we do many things; we don’t just sit there. We do sit there, contemplate the most High and connect with the power within ourselves, which is the highest of all beings. But then we also keep our moral standards high, being a good person, a good boy and a good girl. And then, from the spiritual power inside, we also develop love, compassion and wisdom so that we live a more comfortable life and a simple way of living. And from simple living, we don’t have to work as hard as before, but we earn even more because one penny saved is one penny earned.


Now you live more simply and have more money than before, even though you work the same job. Or maybe you work a less busy job because you can organize your life; you can be contented with whatever life gives you, without wanting more and more things that cost you more trouble, more headaches and more money. More money means more work; more work means more health consumed, more time consumed, more energy wasted. Instead of having time to meditate and to direct our energy to good causes, we have to waste it on earning money and paying more taxes because we earn more or have to take care more, paying more to the accountant because we have too much work.


So now that we have a simpler life, we have more time, and more time means more meditation, more wisdom. More time also means more charitable actions and more happiness for everyone around us and for ourselves. More time also means less work, more health and more time for family members, more happiness within our marriage and family.


So much good comes out of this spiritual practice. If the whole world’s people knew, they would forsake everything to do meditation and follow our way of life, because this is really the only way of life that we should follow. It’s not that we forsake every other way of life, but by following this way of life, we improve in every other way of life, and we enhance all kinds of other ways of life that we didn’t have time for before.


Therefore, when you work less, you have more health and that saves even more money. More money means you can go on retreat sometimes and recuperate in terms of your spiritual standard and your state of health. And then the money you save you can use to help other people. Before, you thought you didn’t have enough money to even do charity work. But now, look! You do it everywhere. You help America, you help Argentina, you help Chile, you help Afghanistan, you help Africa.


You help everywhere, and with the same amount of money you earned before. Not only can you help, but you can have time for yourself so that you can even recover yourself for anything you lacked during the busy hours of working and serving the world. And more and more you become wiser, kinder, more affectionate, more loving, more tolerant and more understanding. So much more has become of you! You become richer and richer, both inside and out. And you also look even better. You stay young longer and have less illness, and even if you have an illness, you have a quick recovery.


Everything is so good just because it’s a good way of life and the only way of life, the Kingdom of God’s way of life. Follow the Kingdom of God, seek the Kingdom of God, and everything will come into fulfillment.


This is the practice of the Bible and the Buddhist doctrines. There is nothing else to do but to practice it. The Buddha emphasized compassion, wisdom and love. You have it all. Jesus emphasized the Kingdom of God, of course: Love thy neighbor. The Kingdom of God: Love thy enemy. The Kingdom of God means you have wisdom. You achieve the Kingdom of God; you contact the Kingdom of God, meaning you’re wise like God or God-like at least, or moving toward God, more and more toward God. You have it all. Whatever the Bible names, demands, or emphasizes, you have. The more you practice this, the more you have it. And that’s why you look so happy.

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.08







事實上,如果世人更有智慧、更明理的話,他們就會選出更有靈性意識、思想更清明的世界領袖;而這些特點只能靠修身養性得來。正如先賢所說:必須先修身;也就是必須先修身養性、打坐、發展智慧。沒有智慧的話,怎麼治理世界?如果連自己都幫不了,怎麼能幫助別人?如果你連自己往生後要去哪裡都不知道,甚至某些情況怎麼處理也不知道,又怎麼領導別人或幫助別人?更不用談治理整個國家了!



所以我們必須先修身,也就是要讓自己更有智慧。該怎麼做呢?就是要打坐和訓練自己。這只有當你頭腦清楚、身體健康時才能辦到。如果身體不舒服,怎麼能好好思考?而喝酒只會使健康惡化,絕不會使你更健康。喝酒、抽菸會使人生病,這個大家都知道,那為什麼想要領導國家的人卻要這樣傷害自己?所以必須先訓練自己和打坐,使自己平靜下來,找到內在的智慧,還要修養自己,這樣才是!然後你才能照顧好你的家庭。你的孩子需要你,這是一定的!如果小孩看到你整天喝酒、抽菸,你要如何照顧你的家庭?你自己不以身作則的話,如何教導他們為人處事?萬一你又遊手好閒等等之類的,那更是成了孩子的壞榜樣。


所以要先訓練自己具備智慧和美德,才能照顧好一個家庭,這是理所當然的。古代的賢人並沒有禁止我們成家,但要先「修身」,然後才能「齊家」,進而「治國」。他們甚至不只說「治國」而已,還能「平天下」,你們看那個影響有多大?不只能治理一國,而且還能平定天下!這就是有修行又有智慧的人所具有的大力量。所以如果世人真的明智而覺醒的話,就會更謹慎地選擇他們的領導人。


修行人為世界樹立優秀的典範


我想任何好的政府都喜歡他們的人民健康、快樂、聰明;那是每一個國家領袖的目標。因此,如果有人幫政府做那些事,那麼他們必定是政府的朋友。而我們就是政府的朋友,因為我們幫助社會遠離菸酒、保持乾淨、有道德、高尚;我們以身作則,並且傳播這種典範,不斷地教導人們奉行這種生活。任何政府總是宣導:「我們要保護人民的安全,要讓人民享有和平,要讓人民過著乾淨、快樂又遠離犯罪的生活。」


我們就是在幫政府做這些事!所以每個政府都應該頒獎給我們,嘉許我們:「你們做得很好,幫了政府很多忙!」何況我們還是義務做的,他們甚至不需要付錢給我們!每個政府都要付錢請警察或軍隊來防制犯罪和保護人民,而我們正是做同樣的事,而且不支領薪水、不會跟警察發生衝突、不傷害任何人,也根本沒有任何武器可去傷人!


想想看要是每個人都跟我們一樣!也許他們一開始不吃素,但是不喝酒、不碰毒品及不抽菸,就已經能使他們過著更純淨、更健康的生活,而且還可以省下很多錢,讓人人都快樂。也許他們會擁有好的房子及車子,身體健康、家庭安樂,同時也為學校裡的孩子們樹立良好的榜樣,不再有 悲劇發生,或是會減少。


因為坦白說,有時家庭並沒有好好地教育小孩,結果這些孩子進入學校以後就成了校園惡霸,因為他們在家裡學到壞的榜樣。可能那個爸爸每天喝醉酒,然後對家人拳腳相向,因此孩子也有樣學樣,或是心裡感到沮喪。也許他的爸爸因為喝醉酒而喪命或殺人入獄,只剩下他和媽媽相依為命,使他感到挫折。所以他覺得必須捍衛自己,而變得越來越有侵略性,因為他只知道弱肉強食的生存方式,才會變成一個惡霸。他的家人並沒有做個好榜樣。對一個來自破碎家庭又沒有人教導的小孩,你能期待他怎麼做?孩子的爸爸可能坐牢或過世了,或者殘廢,或是一輩子像植物人一樣。有的爸爸則是喝酒後回家對家人拳打腳踢,或者死於酗酒,於是小孩無所適從,漸漸變得防禦心強。而這麼做真的有用,因為他內心很脆弱又害怕,於是養成好鬥的個性,最後變成惡霸。


如果我們能戒除酒、肉、菸,那麼家庭會更和樂,學校環境也會更好,所以這種生活會影響到各方面!淨化生活真的會產生很大的效應!不僅是影響一個人或一個家庭而已,還會影響到整個社會。


所以我認為世人都應該這麼做。只要他們依照我們的榜樣去做,甚至不必來跟我學打坐,也不必全都成為聖人。我不用去教他們,他們也不必來找我,只要淨化自己的生活就夠了,他們也可以向上帝禱告,或向他們自己認同的對象禱告,這樣他們的美德及良好的生活方式自然會影響全世界,整個世界都會成為天堂,根本不需要我!



怎麼世人都沒有發現這一點?為何沒有更多國家的領導人努力推行這種純淨的生活方式,建立一個人人快樂的和平天堂呢?如果他們真心想要照顧家人,就該那樣做。至少要努力推行、樹立典範,因為那正是當權者該做的事。你們能改變整個世界!身為國家的領導人,你們至少可以改變自己的國家。

Master Says


 


Clean Living Makes the Whole World a Paradise



Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, 
Surrey, United Kingdom, January 8, 2006
(Originally in English)

 


Actually, if the people in the world are wiser and more sensible, they will pick the world leaders with more spiritual awareness and more clarity in mind. But you can only do that by disciplining yourself. Like the ancient wisdom says, you have to first cultivate yourself. That means you really have to discipline yourself and meditate and have wisdom. Without wisdom, how can you rule the world? How can you help anyone if you can’t even help yourself! If you don’t know where you are going when you die and you don’t even know what to do in some situations, how can you lead anyone or help anyone, let alone a whole nation!




You have first to cultivate yourself, which means make yourself wise. By what? Meditation and discipline. But you can only do that when you’re clear, and your body is well. If you are not well, how do you think well? Alcohol makes you worse; alcohol doesn’t make you well. Alcohol and cigarettes make you sick. Everyone knows that! Why would you damage yourself when you want to lead the nation? So you have to be disciplined and meditate: to calm yourself down, to find the wisdom that is inside you and also to cultivate yourself. That’s it. Then, you can take care of your family. Of course, your children need you. If a little kid looks at you drinking and smoking all day, how are you going to take care of your family and tell them what to do, when you don’t do it? And then if you even fool around or something, that’s also a bad example for your kids.


So, first discipline yourself with wisdom and virtue, and then you can take care of the family. That’s natural. The old ancient wisdoms don’t even forbid you to have a family, but to cultivate yourself, and then you can take care of the family. Further on, you can lead the nation. They don’t even say, “Lead the nation.” They say, “Pacify the world.” See how big it can be? They don’t even limit it to a nation: Pacify the world! That is the great power of a spiritually cultivated person, a wise person. If the world were really wise and awakened, they would have chosen their leaders more carefully.


 


Spiritual Practitioners Are Shining Examples for the World


I suppose any good government would like to keep its subjects healthy, happy and intelligent. That’s the aim of any government leader. So, if anyone helps the government to do that, then they should be the friends of the government. And we are the friends of the government, because we keep the society sober, clean, moral and high, by making an example and spreading this example or giving people teachings to do just that. Any government always says, “We want to keep our people safe; we want to keep our people peaceful; we want to keep our people clean, happy and crime-free.”


We are doing just that, to help the government! So, any government should give us an award and say, “You are doing good; you are helping us!” Free of charge, even! They don’t even have to pay us. All governments have to pay their police or army to suppress crime, suppress criminals and protect the people. We are doing just that: without getting paid, without clashing with the police, without harming anyone and without having any weapons to harm anyone to begin with.


Imagine if everyone just did what we do! Maybe they wouldn’t be vegetarian to begin with, but no alcohol, no drugs and no cigarettes, would be so clean and more healthy; it would save a lot of money and everyone would be happy. They could have a good house, a good car, good health, a good family and be a good example for the children in school. Nothing tragic would happen anymore, or less would. Because let’s face it, sometimes children are not taught well at home. So when they get into school, they become bullies because they have a bad example at home! Maybe the father is drunk every day and beats up the family. The child learns from that, or he gets frustrated. Maybe the father is drunk and then dies or kills someone and goes to jail, and then the child is alone with the mother only and he’s frustrated. So he has to defend himself and grows up aggressive, because that’s the only way he knows -- to rule and become a bully. The family doesn’t make a good example. He came from a broken family; what do you want him to do, with no one to teach him! The father’s in jail or died, or was maimed or is a vegetable for life. Sometimes he drinks and goes home, beats the family up or dies because of alcohol. Then the kid doesn’t know what to do, so he grows defensive. And it works, because he’s weak and scared, and then that’s how he grows into aggressiveness and becomes a bully.


If we take away the alcohol and all the meat and cigarettes, then the family will be much better already, and the school will be a better place. So, it affects everything! The effect of a clean life is really big. It’s not just for one person or one family; it affects the whole society.


So, I think the world should do this. If they just do like us and follow our example, they don’t even need to study meditation with me or become all Saints. I don’t need to teach them; they don’t need to come see me. All they need to do is just live a clean life. They can even pray to God, or pray to whatever they want. But their virtues, their good life, will affect the whole world and the whole world will be a paradise already. No need for me!



Why doesn’t the world see this? Why don’t more leaders of nations reinforce this kind of clean-living, happy, peaceful Heaven for everyone? If they really want to take care of their family, that’s the way. At least reinforce it by making an example, because that’s what you have a power for. You can change the world! You’re the leader of a nation; you can at least change your nation.

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.08


世界上這類的事情都會令我很傷心。最近我打開電視都看不下去,因為現在有禽流感,成千上萬的雞鴨被人抓著脖子丟進袋子裡,然後綁緊丟到掩埋場。換作是你被這樣對待的話,會有什麼感覺?設身處地想想看!他們像這樣直接將雞鴨活埋!或是把牠們活活燒死,想像一下如果那是你的話!只要全世界都吃素,就不用養那麼多雞,讓牠們自在地生活,牠們也不會騷擾任何人。


我實在不忍心看下去,這種事讓我傷心難過到睡不著覺。環顧這世上任何的事情,每件事都讓我心痛。記得我在年輕時寫過一首詩「吾心怎依憑」,就是在這種情況下有感而發,儘管當時我還年輕,還沒有去喜馬拉雅山求道,還沒有大開悟,就已經無法忍受這類事情。所以即使我結了婚,還是無法享受生活。每次打開電視看到那些新聞,就會讓我傷心好一陣子。我在紅十字會工作時,沒有一件事能讓我感到快樂。當我年輕時,就目睹了人們垂死掙扎、受苦、戰亂等等這類的事,這個世界真的沒什麼好的事,任何事情都能輕易讓我傷心。


有時我看到人們將健康可愛的小孩放在嬰兒車裡推著走,但嬰兒車前方卻沒有遮蔽物,雖然小孩穿著保暖衣物,但冷風還是會吹襲他們的臉,或是路上突如其來的瓦礫碎片有可能會傷到他們。大人因為比較高,走路時上半身在上方,而嬰兒則位於下方。看到這樣,我也會為那個嬰兒感到難過。嬰兒很嬌嫩,風可能會把異物吹進他們的眼睛,或是鼻子會吸進髒東西、冷風等等,可能會很痛!


有些 人真的很沒有體貼的心!有時他們將狗放在卡車後方,沒有任何能抓住的地方,就這樣在熾熱的六月烈陽下,或是在氣候炎熱的國度中,自顧自地開著車,任由那些狗兒東倒西歪。狗兒的腳可能會受傷,或是被熾熱的豔陽曬傷,就連我們也受不了。我無法了解許多人做事的方法,我想不通有些人為何如此麻木不仁!


所以重點是,無論做什麼都要考慮到對方,這樣才能了解對方的立場而感同身受。所以,不用問我你有多開悟、你是哪個等級的聖人,檢查一下自己就知道了,看看自己如何與他人應對、如何對待他人、如何對待那些較不幸的動物,這樣你就知道自己的等級在哪裡,不用來問我!因為如果你開悟了,必定更有聰明才智;聰明才智越高,就能將任何事看得比以前更透澈;當你的眼睛張開時,當然會看得更清楚。所以看自己就好,不用來問我什麼時候你會修到第五界、什麼時候會成為明師等等。


如果可能的話,我們應該盡全力做到最好。否則即使一時救了動物,卻任由牠們陷入另一種困境,坐視不管,那麼救牠們有何用?談起這些事情又讓我感到心痛。我沒辦法拯救全世界所有的狗,但是你們如果看到類似的情況 (有受忽視或受苦的動物)、看到不對的事情,要設法糾正,不要只是因為一時不便就坐視不管。

Master's Words







  

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, 
Surrey, United Kingdom, January 8, 2006 (Originally in English)


Anything in this world like that hurts me a lot. I can’t watch TV right now because of things like bird flu, where they take thousands of chickens or ducks, just take them by the neck, throw them in a bag, close it, and throw it in the garbage. Can you imagine, if it’s you? Imagine it’s you! They just bury them alive, just like that! Or throw them in the fire, and burn them alive. Imagine it’s you! If all the world could just be vegetarian and not breed a lot of chickens and let them be them, they wouldn’t bother anyone. 


Oh God, I cannot watch all this! It just hurts me, and I can’t sleep. Anything in this world, when I look around, it hurts me all the time. Even when I was younger, if you remember I made a poem, “I Don’t Know What to Do with My Heart.” It’s because of that. Even when I was younger, before big enlightenment, before the Himalayas, I really couldn’t bear it. That’s why when I was married, I couldn’t enjoy. If I watched TV, I would feel sad for many days and many weeks. I worked in the Red Cross, and nothing was happy. And when I was young, I witnessed people dying and suffering, and war and all that. There’s just nothing really good in this world. 


So, anything can hurt me, so easily. Sometimes I even see healthy, good children being pushed around in prams without any covering in the front. Of course they are warmly dressed, but the cold air can hit their face, also the debris from the street or anywhere. Because you are tall, you are walking up here but the baby is down there. So I also feel hurt for that baby, because they are delicate and something can flow into their eyes, or they can breathe something bad or the cold air into their nose, which can be painful! 


Some humans are very inconsiderate. Sometimes they put the dogs behind them on the truck, without anything to grip. So they’re just running under the hot June sun, or in some very hot weather kind of country. The dog is just slipping here and there, and he might be hurt on his legs or in the heat from the sun. We could not even bear it! So I don’t know how a lot of people do a lot of things. I don’t know how some humans have no feeling. 


So the thing is, whatever you do, consider the other party. Then it’s easy to understand and to feel it. Don’t ask me how enlightened you are and what level of sainthood you are in. Just watch yourself. Watch how you react with other people, how you treat other people and how you treat the less fortunate animals. Then you know what level you are; you don’t need to ask me. Because if you are enlightened, you must be more intelligent. More intelligent human beings can see everything better than before. When your eyes are open, you see better! So just watch yourself. Don’t bother asking me when you’re going to reach the Fifth Level and be a Master and all that.


You have to do the best, alright? If you can! There’s no use rescuing some animals and then just putting them into another different kind of hardship and neglect. Talking about these things, it makes me feel painful again. I cannot rescue all the dogs in the world, but if you see a neglected, suffering animal or something that is not right, try to correct it. Don’t ignore it just because of inconvenience.

當我們在幫人正確拼出某個外文名字或單字時,通常會使用一些常見的字彙來代表該單字中的字母。師父在黃金3年(2006年)1月7日於英國舍瑞的一場開示中,和同修們討論另一種拼字的方式,並創造了下列的「靈性字母」。


使用表列的這些更肯定、開放、擴展、喜悅及令人靈性提昇的字彙,可以提昇我們的靈性意識。這些象徵著加持、希望與美麗的字元,會在潛移默化中提醒我們並激勵他人朝向高等的方向思考,進而加速人類進入天堂生活的紀元。

清海無上師以英文講於匈牙利歐禪 2005.02.24


你們也許很和善,因為你們跟著我學。你們會想:「我不能殺害任何眾生,我不吃肉,所以我很好。」但你們的好是學來的,不然你們也許沒那麼好。你們很努力做個好人,這樣很好,但是成為好人還不夠,成為聖人也不夠,你們要比那樣更好。你們要更有愛心、更體貼入微、思維敏捷、幫助別人、自動發心,要更和善,並且隨時滿懷著無條件的愛,特別是無私的愛!你們要常常想到如何去服務全體人類,如何去幫助那些不幸的人,這才是真正的聖人之道。


要想想如何才能更妥善地服務他人,這也算是一種打坐。即使在這段日子裡,我白天忙著處理所看到的事,到了晚上,我會想到那些外面的鳥兒們,擔心牠們受凍,因為夜裡很冷。我也會想到那些狐狸和狗兒們,或是山裡的綿羊、山羊。不管我在哪裡,我都會想到那一帶的眾生,擔心牠們是不是夠暖和、夠舒適?我自然會想到這些!


所以表現和善還不夠,你必須要與和善、慈悲、愛力融為一體,那時這些品質就是你,除了愛,你別無其他了,那時你才是真正的聖人。否則,你還只是名義上的聖人,被冠上個聖人的頭銜而已。就像有些人苦學多年,為了要拿到博士學位,有的人則是得到榮譽博士學位,也許你們就像那樣。沒關係,不管你是得到榮譽博士,還是假冒或買來的博士學位,可能的話,就當個真正的博士吧!既然你已得到博士頭銜,何不就當個博士?成為一個真正的博士!










師父愛心照顧遭到忽視的狗,其自然流露的的聖人典範值得我們效法

有的人工作勤奮、用功讀書,然後才成為博士;而你雖然先拿到榮譽博士學位,但是用功之後也一樣會變成真正的博士,變成一個和善或知識淵博的博士。多讀一點書之後再趕上,這樣也不錯。你們現在就像得到了榮譽聖人的果位,所以,那就要成為聖人!成為名副其實的聖人、真正的聖人,當一個讓自己信服的聖人。要行聖人之道:任何行動和念頭都要像個聖人、感受像個聖人,幫助所有人,為別人著想,散發愛心,不斷嘗試朝那個方向走,訓練自己時時處在這種神聖的情境裡,然後你就會成為一個更好的聖人。

To Be a Saint, Be the Qualities that Are Saintly


Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai,
European Retreat in Hungary,
February 24, 2005 (Originally in English)


Perhaps you're all kind because you learn with me. You think, “I can’t kill anyone,” or, “I'm not eating meat so I'm good.” But you learned that. Otherwise, you might not have been that good. You're trying hard to be good, which is good! But to be good is not enough; to be saintly is not enough. You must be more than that. You have to be more compassionate, considerate, intelligent, helpful, willing, kind and at all times have unconditional love. Especially unselfish love: You have to always think of how to serve humanity at large and how to help the less fortunate. That's really saintly.


Think of how you can do better for others. This is also a kind of meditation. Even at this stage of my life, after the daytime when I’m busy with fixing whatever I see, I think at night of the birds outside and whether they’re too cold because of the cold night. And I think of the foxes and the dogs or the sheep or the goats on the mountain. Wherever I am, I think of the beings and whether they’re warm enough and fine enough. It's just automatic.


So, being kind is not enough. You have to be the kindness. You have to be the compassion; you have to be the love. And then it becomes you so that you cannot be anything else but love. Then, you’re a real Saint. Otherwise, you’re just living a borrowed sainthood, or a granted sainthood. For example, some people study very hard for many years in order to become a doctor, while others just get an honorary doctorate. Maybe you’re like that. It’s fine if you get an honorary, fake or paid doctor degree. But then, be one! Since you have the title, why not be one? Become a real one.










Through Her loving concern and care
for previously neglected dogs,
Master’s natural saintly example is one we all can follow.

Some people work very hard, study well and then become a doctor. But even if you become a doctor first, then practice and become one. Become a kind doctor or a knowledgeable doctor. Study a little bit more and catch up afterward; that's also fine. You’ve already gotten honorary Sainthood. So, be one! Be one to match it, to make it real. Convince yourself by being a Saint. Walk the way of the Saint by acting like a Saint, thinking like a Saint, feeling like a Saint, helping everyone else, considering other people and giving love. Always try to go in that direction; train yourself in this environment and this saintly domain. Then you’ll become a better Saint.

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.07



同修甲:我的兒子很久以前就學了方便法,不過他並沒有修行。進入青春期後,他變得非常叛逆,抽菸、喝酒、撒謊、偷盜、吸毒樣樣都來!


師父:天哪!吸毒!你要看好他,應該制止他呀!


同修甲:是,我有這樣做了。那段期間我和他常發生衝突。


師父:後來怎麼樣了?


同修甲:我們有一大堆的麻煩。不過有一天他突然意識到自己將會陷在不如意的處境中,而且很可能會越陷越深,於是他就戒除了所有的壞習慣。然後我們不斷地鼓勵他來跟我們一起打坐,但是採取逐步漸進的方式,因為有很多同修給小孩壓力,要他們來印心,但是小孩並沒有真正用功修行。


師父:了解。


同修甲:我告訴我兒子:「如果你能持續六週每天都打坐,我才會考慮讓你報名印全心。」結果連續六週,他每天早上都過來打坐。不過,我並非每次都完全相信他所講的話。


師父:我了解。


同修甲:我會看他是否說到做到。


師父:好,他有做到了。


同修甲:這次我回家後跟他說:「如果你能讀完《即刻開悟之鑰》一至五冊,同時每個月都看師父的新聞雜誌,而且只要有機會就去參加共修的話,我才會幫你報名印心。」他也答應了。所以您又多了兩位徒弟。


師父:嗯,很好!


同修甲:我對他這麼嚴格,自己也感到難過。因為我知道他很懶惰,不想讓您浪費時間在他身上,也不想讓他白費時間,所以一定得確定才行。


師父:很好!很好!他只要做到你所說的一半,就可以來印心了。


同修甲:好,太棒了!


師父:至於另一半我會幫他。(大眾鼓掌)


同修甲:好的,謝謝您!他是個好孩子;他現在非常快樂。


師父:我明白。


同修甲:我回家的時候,發覺他看起來很幸福,又很快樂。事實上他是個非常好的孩子,心地很善良,但是卻想要學壞。


師父:不是這樣!是同儕壓力的緣故。我鄭重告訴你們這些為人父母的人:你們的話真的會影響小孩。很多父母平常什麼也不說,或是很少提及這些事,所以孩子就以為遠離毒品並沒有那麼重要。你們應該要堅決地告訴他們這樣不行!一定要告訴孩子毒品會造成哪些危害,要反覆再三叮嚀,而且是用溫和、恰當、合邏輯的方式開導。你們一定要說:「不行!」而不是只說:「順其自然就好。」不能那樣!因為當孩子們出去外面,有成千上萬的壞影響在各個角落等著,他們很容易受到傷害!畢竟他們還只是孩子。


所以你們一定要制止!要陪伴孩子走過成長的每個階段,每天像朋友般和他們一起聊天,好嗎?不要孩子犯一點小錯或做了什麼事就罵他,應該用鼓勵的方式,告訴他那樣做不好,必須馬上改掉,那真的會危害自己的健康、影響前途,並且會傷害到家人。告訴孩子那樣做不好,讓你們覺得很難過。要讓孩子知道你們的感受,因為小孩子不了解!


有時如果父母沒說出來,或是對孩子不嚴格,他們甚至會以為父母對他們漠不關心,不在乎他們的死活、不在乎他們好壞;他們會覺得被遺棄、被忽略,然後就變得越來越壞,以引起你們的注意。不過,如果父母能關心他們,一開始就適度地關心孩子,不是溺愛或過度關切,而是像朋友一樣,那麼他們自然會向你們傾訴一切,而你們也會得知孩子和他的朋友們在做些什麼。孩子必須先信任你們,才會毫不保留地告訴你們,如此一來,你們才能知道他們目前的狀況,知道如何幫助他們,因為孩子在外面也很孤單。你們以為他們是你的小孩,備受呵護。不!當他們去外面上學,並沒有受到保護。有時他們在學校被欺負,卻不敢告訴父母。有時他們做些亂七八糟的事,只是為了得到同儕的認同,不然他們會遭到排擠,被譏笑是「孬種」或「膽小鬼」,這種外號對青少年來說傷害很大。


因此你們一定要告訴他們什麼是好、什麼是壞,別人怎麼取笑他們並不重要。你們要做他們的後盾、當他們的朋友,讓他們能依靠你們、信賴你們。這樣對他們來說,全世界就不再那麼重要,外面的人也就無法在孩子的心靈上投下陰影。因為社會上不好的影響一直都在,對小孩尤其如是。如果其他父母不懂如何教育小孩,你的小孩就會被那種小孩影響而學壞,小孩和小孩之間會互相影響。所以你們必須態度堅決,即使孩子不喜歡,也要跟他們說:「不行!」你們要用合邏輯的方式,愛心地跟孩子講,他會聽從的。


就算他今天不喜歡聽,但是日復一日他就會聽進去。有朝一日情勢會變改,他會看到他的朋友不好的一面,那時就會想:「噢,還是我爸比較好,他說得對。看看你現在那副德行!吸毒什麼樣樣都來。看看你變成什麼樣子!我爸爸是對的,我不想變成像你這樣!」雖然他已經受到朋友很壞的影響,但總有一天,你們的影響力仍然會起作用,這樣總比沒有好!更何況你們也有力量。當小孩對那些壞事躍躍欲試時,父母一定要堅決說不!


即使像男女關係之類的敏感話題,你也要坐下來跟他們談。說不定他們已經懂得比你們多,不過為了要引導他們,你還是得先了解他們知道了哪些。不要覺得不好意思談這方面的事,不然等到他們出了問題,那就為時已晚!就算現在談這些會覺得尷尬,但總比到時後悔好,因為孩子甚至可能會染上嚴重的疾病而喪命。


你們要像講給自己聽一樣來開導他們,所以父母必須當子女的朋友。如果連你們都無法當他們的朋友,那還有誰能當他們的朋友?你們是他們所能擁有的最好的朋友!事實上,在孩子長大成人以前,他們只要有父母當好朋友就夠了。當然,他們也會有其他的朋友,不過他們年紀都一樣小,懂得不多,那只是同伴,談不上是朋友。你們才是他們的朋友,是他們的帶路人,他們會很尊敬你們。何況如今你們已經淨化自己,所以是孩子更好的嚮導、更有益的朋友!


 








家人的愛對孩子非常重要


因此在外面茫茫的世界中,他們知道你們會一直陪伴在身旁,這會使他們感到自信、堅強、受到關愛,讓他們能戰勝任何困難。如果他們沒有感受到被人疼愛,就會覺得心情低落,沒興趣做任何事,為了讓自己振奮起來,他們會隨便去嘗試任何事情。所以家人的愛對孩子非常重要,你們要無條件地愛他們--嚴格不過有愛心。


就像我對待你們一樣,有時我也會責備你們,不過是出於愛心,你們感受得到。雖然我罵你們,不過你們知道可以信靠我,知道我不會傷害你們,你們心裡很清楚,是嗎?(大眾答:是的,師父)你們也要像這樣對待你們的孩子,讓他們知道自己一直受到關愛。不過不要讓他們為所欲為,溺愛和寬容、親切是不一樣的。


要和他們做朋友,當他們的朋友。如果他們回家向你坦承一些不好的事情,比方說他們今天做了一件不該做的事,你不要馬上責備他們,斥責他們是壞孩子。你應該告訴他:「謝謝你告訴我這些。你願意告訴我,我真的感到很榮幸。雖然你知道告訴我這些事可能不太好,不過你願意告訴我,我真的很高興!」然後視他們的情況幫助他們,因為他們還是小孩!如果他們犯錯的話,只是因為他們還是孩子。


看看你們自己,即使已經是大人了,還會犯很多錯,那小孩怎麼可能不犯錯呢?所以要一路上指導他們、疼愛他們。每當他們向你坦承錯誤時,都不要責備他們,而要告訴他們你真的很高興,他們願意信任你,讓你感到榮幸,這樣他們才會願意多講一些。因為每個人都會犯錯,壞的影響到處都有,所以你應該高興他們肯對你坦承這些,然後你再根據情況糾正他們。讓他們願意告訴你,像好朋友一樣跟他們相處,不要動不動就擺出一副威權的姿態,不要過度嚴厲!


這是很複雜微妙的情況,不是每個家庭都一樣,不過大原則就是要當孩子的朋友,當他們傷心時的慰藉,讓他們能夠信任你,這樣他們就會聽從你的話。謝謝你提出這個話題,讓我可以順便告訴大家。(大眾鼓掌)


同修甲:現在電視上也有節目指導家長如何教育青少年和兒童,我小時候還沒有這類節目。我想我兒子生命中的轉捩點是發生在某一天。


師父:轉捩點!是。


同修甲:我以前總是告訴他:「要當心,毒品很糟糕,絕不要去碰那些毒品,不過你卻老是往外面跑!」有時我們父子倆吵得不可開交,我太太也會牽扯進來。我兒子會拉攏她站在他那邊,讓我感到既氣憤又無能為力,於是我就說:「算了,不管你們兩個了,隨你們想怎樣就怎樣!」不過我還是一直試著給他一些好的建議。


師父:我了解。


同修甲:有一次他要出門,我告訴他:「聽好,我不希望你出去。你最近每晚都出去,我要你留在家裡。週末你可以出去,不過不能每天這樣。」


師父:對!


同修甲:結果他那天晚上還是出去,於是我就沒收他的電腦。我把它拿進我房間,鎖在裡面。他回來後說:「我要進去你的房間拿我的電腦!」而前一天我剛好看了一集這類的電視節目。


師父:是嗎?


同修甲:節目裡的教練教導青少年如何不動怒。那個教練和一位少年站在拳擊場中,他對少年說:「我要開始辱罵你了,我要激怒你。如果你動手打我,你就輸了。」那天我就用那個方法對付我兒子。無論他說什麼、怎樣咒罵我或是講什麼髒話,我只是說:「聽著,我不會生氣的,我愛你。不過,除非你不再往外跑,否則我不會把電腦還給你。」


師父:對!


同修甲:我兒子說:「你走著瞧!」我有個朋友在每星期三晚上會來我家打坐,所以我兒子想要去開門,他認為我會礙於面子而讓步。不過我讓我的朋友了解當時的情況,我告訴他:「我和兒子有一些爭執,他每天都往外跑,所以我沒收了他的電腦。如果你不介意的話,今天我們去另一個房間打坐。」


而且那時候因為他用盡力氣咒罵我,我說:「好啦,你罵我愚笨等等這些話我早就聽過了。我愛你,但我不會把電腦還給你。」


師父:是,他不值得!


同修甲:是的!事實上,之後我把電腦拿去辦公室放了兩個禮拜。那天晚上,因為我沒有和他爭吵,所以他也沒辦法博取他母親的同情,所以她就站在我這邊。


師父:懂。


同修甲:我們一起試著幫助他。每天我都用很關愛的語氣,反覆地對他說:「我愛你!」他會說:「討厭!」但我會再說:「我愛你!我愛你!」我想那天他因此而耗費了很多能量。事實上,我替您做了一下廣告,我說:「聽著,我已經跟隨無上師修行十年了,難道你不知道我有學到了一些訣竅嗎?」(大眾笑)


師父:那他怎麼說?


同修甲:從那次以後,我們的關係大有改善。


師父:真的?


同修甲:在試探他很多次之後,我才把電腦還給他。


師父:了解!


同修甲:之後我指導他功課,因為他目前所修的科目正是我以前學過的。


師父:啊,好極了!


同修甲:所以我們就這樣建立了良好的關係。


師父:是嗎?太好了!


同修甲:是逐漸建立起來的;每天我都看到他不斷地在進步。


師父:是,青少年體內的荷爾蒙分泌旺盛,所以這個年紀是他們生命中的艱難時期。


同修甲:而且他們四周有很多壞的影響。


師父:那也是麻煩!


同修甲:其他的男孩影響他們去吸毒等等,還不斷地炫耀!


師父:我知道。


同修甲:我看得出來,當他與那些很低等級的人為伍時,是他強迫他們當他的朋友,那些人根本不想要接受他,不過他強迫自己融入他們。


師父:是,我懂!這種事在學校裡經常發生。那是同儕的壓力!你必須像他們一樣酷,不僅穿著打扮一樣,連行為舉止也要一樣。如果他們喝酒,你也要喝,否則你就無法打入他們的圈子!他們會取笑你等等。所以你一定要確保孩子不必無端地經歷這些痛苦。告訴他:自己的價值不在於裝酷,而是做一個聰明、獨立的好學生。


同修甲:有幾次我的確讓他了解到這些。有一次,他酩酊大醉以後,嘔吐並倒在路上,後來我接到了救護車的電話。那段時間我非常關愛他,所以那天我帶他回家後,完全沒有對他發怒。我說:「我要等你好了再揍你一頓。」(大眾笑)因為我知道被酒精毒害的後果。還有一次他被警察抓了,當時我在生病,所以無法去找他,也不知道他在哪裡。他在牢裡過了一夜,隔天我對他說:「兒子啊,如果你想要這樣過,這就是你的生活!不過我認為你可以過得更好,因為你是個聰明伶俐的孩子。」


師父:你要叫他把「想要如何經營自己的生活」寫下來;不要告訴他:「你要做什麼」,而是問他:「你想要選擇做什麼、想成為什麼樣的人。」


同修甲:不過這些都已經過去,現在他已徹底改變。(師父:這樣很好)他很專注在自己的學業上,現在也有打坐。


師父:哇,太好了!


同修甲:他現在很快樂。


師父:哇,他好棒!真是一百八十度的轉變!我為你感到驕傲!


同修甲:謝謝您!(大眾鼓掌)


師父:這也是你的功勞,是你改變了他。唉!家庭問題,真是一門大學問。




父母的陪伴支持對小孩影響極大



同修乙:我也是年紀很小就印心了。我在學校裡也經歷了重重的同儕壓力和種種問題。師兄剛才說的那些,我幾乎都做過了。


師父:了解。


同修乙:後來我開始認真打坐,我的生活就轉變了。我知道您一直在我身旁、在我內邊陪伴著我。當我開始打坐後,我的生命徹底轉變了,生活中每件事都變得如此美妙。比方說我小時候看到太陽出來,不會那麼開心地走到戶外去。但是現在有您與我同在,我實在是滿心歡喜;我知道您每天都與我同在。


師父:當然,每一天!


同修乙:我只是想讓您知道,我真的非常感激您為我所做的一切。


師父:我很樂意做這些,我愛 妳!


同修乙:謝謝師父,我也愛您!


師父:因為妳是個好孩子,這麼棒的孩子!


同修乙:謝謝您!非常感謝您所做的一切!


師父:妳的情況我也理解,我能理解你們,還有那些青少年。他們在外面很孤單。你們以為他們有同伴和朋友,不過事實上他們非常孤單,只有那些好勇鬥狠的才不會感到孤單。那些校園惡霸就像幫派老大一樣,他們會強迫其他的小孩聽命於他們,而且作弄其他小孩,像是譏笑他們:「你是肥豬!」、「你是瘦皮猴!」等,惡意辱罵別人,讓他們覺得自己一無是處,覺得自己是班上最糟的,諸如此類的事。他們會讓你有如生活在地獄!


所以你們為人父母應該了解小孩也會遭遇困難,不是把他們丟到學校去就沒事了,你們也要了解他們的困難。有時小孩甚至會成群結黨去騷擾另一個小孩,而這個小孩回家後當然會很沮喪,不知道如何是好!他們也不敢告訴父母,有時甚至無法指出問題所在,只是覺得很難過,卻又無法告訴父母,因為他們不曉得如何表達在學校裡發生的事情。而且他們自覺懦弱無能,卻羞於啟齒告訴父母。所以如果你不是他們的死黨,他們不會對你傾訴問題,因為這也牽涉到他們的自尊。青少年的自尊心比我們還強,那是他們建立自信的時期。如果他們所有的朋友--那些死黨和同學都攻擊他們的話,那當然他們會受不了。


所以你們一定要陪伴你們的小孩。既然你們已經選擇結婚生子,就要負起責任,陪伴你們的小孩。當然你們也要打坐修行,不過你們一定要陪伴你們的小孩。你們要知道,如果沒有父母和家人的愛,小孩的成長過程會十分艱辛。所以無論如何,要讓他們感受到被愛,這一點很重要。一定要讓他們真正感受到才行,不然的話,他們在學校被欺負,在家裡又覺得沒人需要他、沒人關愛他。有時即使你責備他們,但他們知道你在乎他們。如果你對他們不聞不問,連罵都不罵,只是說:「好,你想做什麼隨便你!」過一陣子甚至不跟他們說話,這樣只會更糟。他們正在經歷生命中非常困難的一段時期,青少年時期是最艱難的,因為他們成長得太快,超出自己的理解能力。他們的身體發育得太快,幾乎無法控制自己的身體,所以他們有時才會打破東西,或是常常跌來撞去的,這都是身體發育太快的緣故。


青少年很容易打破東西,成年或是小時候就比較不會這樣,這是因為他們的身體在發育的關係!真的,我不是在開玩笑!他們的身體發育得很快,而他們的頭腦難以指揮控制它,他們還不習慣!就像你們買了輛新車或是新的儀器,需要一段時間練習才能操控自如。而且再加上人類與生俱來的詛咒--青少年體內的荷爾蒙分泌旺盛,讓他們不知所措,所以會煩躁不堪。


所以要諒解他們、幫助他們,當他們的好朋友來引導他們。想想當初你們也曾經是青少年,對很多事物也都無法理解,心中充滿疑問:怎麼會這樣?為什麼身體會有這樣的感覺?為什麼會覺得那樣?為什麼想要做這個?好多事情你們都無法理解。而你們的孩子也是像這樣。


我很高興妳是個好孩子(師父指那位分享自己經驗的同修),不過,有多少青少年能像她這樣自律和自信?我很高興妳是個乖孩子,也很高興妳能那麼堅強。因為學校裡人際關係的壓力真的會毀了一個孩子,有些小孩就是因此而自殺。有些小孩內邊非常聰明,但因為被那些惡霸欺壓,使他們覺得自己懦弱無能,感到非常沮喪和悶悶不樂,而無法集中注意力,於是他們的成績滑落,或是學習狀況變差,他們的聰明才智就這樣被毀了。




永遠對小孩信守承諾


所以如果你的小孩成績退步或是突然滑落下來,你一定要去了解原因所在,要跟他談談。父母可以一起帶他去他最喜歡的咖啡館,和他坐下來談談;或是看他和雙親中哪一位比較合得來,就由那位出面;也可以雙親和孩子一起,如果孩子和父親相處比較融洽,那一開始先由父親談,之後再雙親一起談。如果孩子告訴你要保守祕密,你就一定要做到。信守對孩子的承諾是非常重要的。如果你答應要買東西給他,你一定要做到;如果你沒做到,最好給他一個很好的交代!否則他們以後不會再信任你。如果沒事先徵詢他的同意,就洩漏了你們之間的祕密,以後他就再也不會信任你了!


養家活口並不容易,我很高興你們多數都做得很好,我看得出來你們家庭的小孩都很乖。雖然他們正經歷生命中一段非常艱難的時期,但是因為有你們當他們的後盾,帶領他們走往正確的方向,所以他們會成為好孩子,會很出色地度過這段艱難的時期,這是最佳的教養之道。非常好!恭喜你們!這樣對整個家庭也好,一舉數得。我為你們感到很驕傲。我真的感到很驕傲!(大眾鼓掌)


我們每個人都有缺點。假如你注意到自己的缺點,就儘量改正。家庭生活中,並不是那些大事讓人們快樂,而是那些小事、點點滴滴的細節。大事自然會水到渠成,而細微之處更能顯現一個人的關懷之意。比方說,你坐下來和小孩一起聊天幾個小時,或是一起玩耍,比起你只買大玩具給他們,但卻忽略他們、不和他們聊天還更重要。所以要關心小孩,不過要嚴格,不要寵壞小孩,否則就太糟糕了。你們都做得很好。情況需要的時候,父母一定要堅守立場,孩子必須自己去掙取想要的東西,而不是他們想要什麼就買給他們,沒有給他們機會教育,那樣很不好!孩子們應當要學習崇高思想和簡單生活的價值觀。




尋回天賜的快樂,揮別過去,邁向未來


同修丙:師父,感謝您所有的加持,因為我小時候在學校和家裡受了很多苦。不過最近幾年,我得到如此多的加持,每天都有奇蹟發生,現在我非常快樂。


師父:你現在更有自信了嗎?


同修丙:是的。


師父:你們知道那可能會毀了一個人!如果童年過得很糟糕的話,那種影響會持續一輩子,不光是童年而已,而且很難再重拾自信。特別是有些阿修羅等級的人,他們在學校裡非常殘酷,處處找你麻煩,讓你覺得很難受。雖然你長得並不醜,不過根據他們的看法,你很醜,或是他們想讓你覺得自己很醜,因為他們比你還難看!於是他們便會不斷反覆地取笑你,讓你覺得自己真的很醜,即使你根本就不醜!心理暗示作用就是這麼厲害!


你們要真正地關愛並引導你們的孩子,這點是我一而再、再而三強調的,你們一定要了解。所以,首先要引導你們的孩子克服它!有些人真的很愚蠢,他們不懂得欣賞別人,或許是出於嫉妒,有時你比他們聰明,或你的父母比較有錢、房子比較高級,甚至你的男朋友比較好看,他們就想辦法欺壓你。但因為你還是孩子,所知有限,而且你又如此善良。大多數被欺負的小孩都是乖寶寶,只有那些兇惡的孩子會欺負其他小孩,而那些乖孩子很文靜,專心讀書作功課,不會做任何壞事。就因為他們太善良了,所以不知道如何防衛自己,這就是問題所在。


還好你尋回了自己的快樂,這是你應得的。人人都應當享有快樂,如果你不快樂,那是你的問題。你必須了解自己為何不快樂,或生活中哪方面使你煩惱。有一次,我在法國的時候,有個婦女對我喋喋不休,說她覺得很難過,因為她的先生和家庭問題等等。她的情況也不是很難處理,不過她一直嘮叨不停,問我該怎麼辦?我告訴她方法,她也不改變。於是我說:「好,你知道嗎?換作是我,我會檢視自己的生活,看是哪些地方在煩擾我,哪些東西讓我不快樂,我就甩掉它們!」


她說:「什麼?真的嗎?全部丟掉?」我說:「任何事都一樣!」她就說:「那老公呢?」我說:「如果老公煩我,我就把他賣了!(大眾笑)如果車子惹麻煩,我就賣掉車子!如果房子給我添麻煩,我就把房子賣了!」剛開始我是說:「如果車子惹麻煩,我就把車賣了!」接著又說:「如果房子給我添麻煩,我就把房子賣了!」這時她問:「如果是老公呢?」我說:「如果是老公煩我,我連老公也賣了!」(師父笑)不過這需要一點時間,如果是另一半的問題,處理起來比較棘手,但並非不可行。


這聽起來像在開玩笑,不過確實可行。你何苦讓自己一直困在麻煩裡?也許你無法現在就擺脫它,不過你可以著手規劃!試著向前看。孩子們在學校裡也是一樣,如果有人欺負你,你要回家告訴父母,不要畏縮。告訴父母,因為他們會幫你。你一定要告訴他們!假如你不知道怎麼說或是很難啟口,而無法口頭上告訴父母,那就用寫信的方式,想一想你要告訴他們什麼,然後寫下來。有時候用寫的比用講的更容易,因為你有較長的時間思考如何表達自己的想法。孩子有時很難開口,而且當你在談論時如果情緒太激動的話,更無法表達清楚。所以也許你先想一下有哪些問題要告訴你的父母,然後把它寫下來,再拿給他們看。

清海無上師以英文講於美國洛杉磯共修會 1997.07.08


(摘自DVD#588師父喜馬拉雅山朝聖的故事(上、下)


我們要改變自己的生活方式,而不是改變那些像天氣等等外在的事情。只要大多數的人還過著很不道德的生活,那後果依舊很可怕,如果不是這裡有事,就是那裡有事。即使我們什麼都沒做,有時也要分擔那些共業,因為我們既然住在同一個國家,就會分擔那個國家的業障。


那些不選擇過著道德、天堂般生活的人,就無法在世體驗天堂的境界,因為我們選擇的生活方式決定我們現在的情況,因果報應的法律放諸四海而皆準,如果我們繼續過著低等的生活,還繼續殺生、還沈溺在各種不道德的行為的話,那麼當然會招致惡業。這沒什麼好驚訝的,因為同性相吸,低等的振動力會吸引低等的能量,然後帶來各種的災難、麻煩、不幸與混亂。


但是如果我們過著非常高度發展的生活,選擇神聖的生活方式,那麼神聖的事物自然就會注入到我們的生活之中。所以你們在印心之後,透過打坐和經由外在的持素以及內在天國靈糧的淨化自己後,生活就會變得越來越好,這就是同性相吸的道理,因為你變得越來越聖潔,所以你就會吸引更多上帝的加持。


大部分沒有追求靈性發展的人,會過著一種比較低等的生活。他們多數選擇過著動物般的生活,所以會吸引各種像動物一般的能量或是比較低等的能量,而這些能量則會帶來災難、不幸和麻煩。天堂的能量會帶來快樂、喜悅和加持,因為那是來自天堂;而低等級或邪惡的能量,則會帶來低等品質的生活,或將具有邪惡品質的事情帶進人們的生活中,因為物以類聚。所以如果我們想要時時生活在天堂的境界,我們的行為就必須像天堂的眾生一般,這樣才能吸引天堂的加持過來。這個道理很簡單,不需要開悟也能了解。


有些人平時行為不檢,等到遭受果報時,他們卻責怪上帝,抱怨上帝不保佑他們,然後什麼事都怪:怪情況、怪別人、怪朋友、怪家人,但這些都怪錯了,其實是他們自己吸引了這些災難,因為他們的行為產生災難性的能量,而根據同性相吸的定律,這種災難性的能量會吸引來更多災難性的能量,直到這些能量足以形成災難為止,然後災難會藉由各種人、事、物,以各種不同的形式包圍著他們。


所以我和其他的明師都要求你們持戒、吃素,要求你們打坐,以單純的身口意來淨化身體和心靈,那是因為這樣做才能吸引所有純淨的能量和神聖的加持。並非明師嚴格,要控制你們的生活、指揮你們怎麼做,也不是為了什麼人而要求你們持戒等等,這一切都是為了你們自己好。因為你們所做的好事,會為你們自己吸引來好的事物。如果你們時時做好事,就會有越來越多的好事發生;好事越多,壞事就越不可能發生在你們身上,那時候好的能量會形成厚厚的圍牆包圍著你們,你們連想要做壞都很難。


一旦你們開始做好人、開始行善以後,便會繼續做下去,正如好的能量產生以後,便會吸引更多好的能量,然後你在好的能量中會覺得自己越來越強壯,然後你會做更多的好事。好事做得越多,就會招來更多好的能量,然後更多的好事及能量會帶來越來越多的好事和能量。到那時你們時時刻刻都被天國的氣氛環繞著,災難怎麼能靠近你們呢?你們已經被團團保護著,根本不需要守護天使,也不需要相信有守護天使。你們守護自己,你們就是自己的天使。

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞  2006.01.02(原文為英文)


我有一些醋做的噴液,用來洗手,照顧我的狗兒。另外,我也隨時帶著一瓶醋水各半的混合液,有時候在餐廳裡我會用來洗手:先噴在手上,然後再擦乾淨,或噴在公用的餐具上,消毒一下,再擦掉,這樣就很乾淨了!像乾洗一樣,「吱…」地噴一下,很實用又不含化學物質。醋是無害的,可以食用,所以沒問題,我隨身都帶著一小瓶。現在你們又學到一項竅門!


有時你們也可以把醋水噴在窗戶四周和其他地方,或噴一些無毒的驅蟲劑,這樣昆蟲就不會鑽進來,連蚊子也會離得遠遠的,小昆蟲也不會靠近你的紗窗。要是沒有那種驅蟲劑,噴一些醋也很有用,因為醋能消除所有的氣味,而蚊蟲都是被氣味吸引來的。也許你們可以噴些醋在身上,而不必噴香水,這樣蚊子就認不出到底你是一株萵苣,還是熱情的金髮美女了,說不定還會把你當作甘藍菜或是生菜!(大眾笑)


如果你們有養狗,就只用醋水來清洗牠們。假使你們的狗、貓或其他寵物是養在屋子裡,那最好只用醋水來清洗房子。如果偶爾想把房子清洗乾淨,又覺得醋水的清潔效果不夠的話,也可以使用必要的清潔劑,不過用完之後,必須再用清水徹底清洗一遍,這樣屋裡才不會殘留化學物質,否則可能會使你的狗和貓致命。雖然不致於馬上就害死牠們,但也會讓牠們痛苦好多年,牠們忍受不了那些化學物質!如果你聽得懂狗兒說話,牠們就會告訴你。


所以用醋水就夠了。當你想讓狗兒待在屋裡時,就用醋水各半的溶液來清洗牠的全身,用沾了醋水的濕毛巾清洗腳掌和其他部位,之後再用清水迅速清洗眼睛四周,以免醋水刺激到牠的眼睛。對於那些暴露在外的敏感部位和敏感的皮膚,必須立刻再用清水擦洗乾淨,牠們才不會感到刺痛,最好這樣做!如果你手邊真的沒有醋,也可以用嬰兒濕巾擦拭,不過擦完後也要馬上用清水再擦一次,這樣寵物身上才不會有任何的化學殘留物。

An Effective and Safe Disinfectant 
for All Sentient Beings


 


Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Surrey, United Kingdom 
January 2, 2006 (Originally in English)




I have some vinegar spray, just for washing hands for my dogs. And I take a bottle of half-water, half-vinegar with me all the time. Sometimes in the restaurant, I use it to wash my hands; spray it on my hands and then wipe it, and spray on the public utensils, to disinfect them. And wipe it off, and then it’s clean. You know, like a dry-cleaning system: “Zzzt…!” It helps, and there are no chemicals. Vinegar is harmless; you could eat it, so it doesn’t matter. I carry a little bottle all the time. You’ve learned another trick now!





And sometimes, you can spray around your window and so on. Or you spray some insect repellent, the non-toxic kind, around the window so insects don’t come through. Even mosquitoes stay away. The small insects stay away from your screen. But if you don’t have that, then you spray vinegar. It also helps because vinegar dispels all the smell, and they’re only attracted to smell. So instead of perfume, maybe you spray some vinegar, and then the mosquitoes won’t know if you’re a lettuce or a hot-blooded blonde. Maybe they think you’re a cabbage or a salad! (Laughter)





If you have dogs, clean them with vinegar water only. And if you have dogs or cats or pets in the house, clean your house only with vinegar and water mixed. Now and again, if you really want it clean and you don’t feel sure, then clean with whatever you have to. But afterwards, you have to clean with water throughout so that no more chemical residues are left in the house because you could kill your dogs or cats that way. Not killed immediately, but it would make them suffer for many years. They cannot bear it. If you can hear your dog, they will tell you.





So vinegar water, that’s all we want. Half-vinegar, half-water, to clean: Clean the dog’s body when you want to let them in the house. Clean the paws and everything with vinegar-water and a vinegar wet towel. And then after that, around the eyes, you have to clean quickly with water so it doesn’t smart their eyes. In the sensitive areas that have revealed or sensitive skin, then you have to clean it back with water immediately afterward so it takes away the sting. That’s the best! If you really cannot get vinegar on hand, you can use a baby wipe. But then wipe with water immediately after, so there are no more residues of the chemical, whatever it is.

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.02


 




我們不一定要當靈媒或是會說狗語,才能了解狗的語言;狗兒懂我們的意思,牠們懂英語、俄語、德語、法語,不論我們對牠們說什麼語言,牠們都了解得很清楚。因為狗是藉由圖像來領會每句話的意思,任何我們所說的話都會在牠們的頭腦裡形成一個圖像,透過這種方式,牠們可以非常清楚地領會我們的意思,不會有任何差錯。每種語言的每句話,無形中都有一個象徵的圖案。


這也是為什麼我告訴你們言語要保持純淨,因為我們所說的話確實具有實際的含意,會影響到那些聽到的人。那些話會形成一個圖像,而且會發出好或壞的能量;無論你走到哪裡,它都會環繞在你的四周。這就是我們必須保持身、口、意乾淨的原因。凡事都有它的道理,並非我想控制你們,我只是告訴你們戒律背後的科學根據和邏輯。


我們所想的任何事物也會形成一種圖像,別人也可以看得到;有些人可以,不是每個人都看得到。這些圖像會環繞在四周,人們可以察覺得到,而且所散發的能量也會停留在那裡;停留時間的長短,就看我們當時講這句話或是想這件事的意念有多強烈。無論如何,它都會繼續留在那裡,有時候會停留很長的時間,幾乎不會消散。


你們聽過有那種禍及子孫的詛咒,這是千真萬確的!不一定要成為巫婆才有這種詛咒的力量,當一個人充滿強烈的仇恨或愛心,或是滿腦子報復的念頭時,也有這種力量。當他盡用自己強大的力量所說的話,不管是詛咒或祝福,這些話終會成真。所以有時候你們去見一位牧師或聖人時,會說:「請加持我!」「請給我一些祝福!」因為真的有用,那不是迷信!


也許將來我們不需要電視或任何類似的工具,只要調準我們想要的頻道,畫面就會自動出現,這就是所謂的心靈感應。狗和其他動物的心靈感應能力比我們人類強,我們多數人已經失去了這個能力。因為身處這個複雜的生存環境中,我們必須以物質的方式思考許多事情,做一大堆物質方面的工作,牽掛太多世俗的義務,一切都是為了生存下去。於是我們每天越來越物質化,因而忘了心靈感應這回事,忘了自己所擁有的心靈感應能力。


有些人或多或少還保有這個能力。比方說,有時候即使你的伴侶沒有大聲說出來,你似乎也能了解對方想講的話,因為那時你們把分散的心靈感應能力又集中了一小部分;這種能力你們本來就有了,偶爾它還會顯現出來,確實有這種事。你們能不能想像,要是我們不曾失掉這個能力而一直保有它,會是什麼情況!不過就某方面來說這樣也好,因為我們如果保有這個能力,我們不會時時都聽到好事,也會常常聽到不好的事,這樣我們可能會承受不了!

The Power of Telepathy


 



Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Surrey, United Kingdom 
January 2, 2006 (Originally in English)


 




You don’t have to be a psychic or a dog talker to understand the language of dogs. They understand you. They understand English, Russian, German, French - whatever you speak to them, they understand very well. Because dogs understand words by pictures, whatever words you speak form a photo or a picture in their mind. And that’s how they understand you perfectly clearly, with no mistake about it. In every language, every word has a symbol, invisibly.


That’s also why I tell you to be pure in speech. Because it does have an impact on the people who hear it and it does have a real meaning. It does form a picture, and it does send some energy, bad or good, to the environment that you’re walking around in with it. So that’s why we have to be pure in speech and action, and thought as well. Everything has a reason. I am not trying to control you or anything; I am just telling you all the scientific evidence and scientific logic behind the precepts that we keep.


Everything we think also forms some kind of picture that people can see as well. Some people can; not everyone can. Nevertheless, it will be around in the ether and people can perceive it. And the energy does stay. Depending on how strongly you mean it at the time of saying it or thinking it, it will last longer or it will last shorter. But, it will last. And sometimes it lasts for a long time, almost forever.


You’ve heard about the curse from generation to generation: it’s true. The person doesn’t have to be a witch to form this kind of curse energy; it can come from some person with strong hatred or strong love or strong revenge ideas in his or her head. When he says it with all his mighty power, then it will come true, whether it’s a curse or a blessing. That’s why sometimes you go to a priest or some holy person and say, “Please, bless me,” or, “Give me some blessing.” Because it does work; it’s not superstition.


Maybe in the future we won’t need television or anything similar; we can just tune in wherever we want, and the picture will come on. And that’s what telepathy is all about. Dogs and animals have more telepathic power than we do because we lost it. Many of us lose it, because through the complication of the survival network we have to think too much in physical terms, and do too much in the physical field and think too much about physical obligations because of survival. So, we are more and more physical every day, and that’s how we forget the telepathic self or the telepathic ability that we had.


Some people still retain it, to the minimum or maximum, or half-and-half. Sometimes, in some instances, you seem to understand what your partner is saying, without his speaking it aloud. That’s when you collect a little scattered ability of the psychic power that you do have. Now and again, it comes out. And that is true. Can you imagine, if we hadn’t lost it all we’d have it all the time. But it’s also good in a way. Because if you have that power, you don’t always hear the good but you always hear the bad also. And that would be a little bit too much for us.

清海無上師以英文  講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.02


如果那個孩子(師父意指一位16歲的盧安達男孩,他誠實正直的精神感動了師父。)或任何人只是一副軀殼而已,那麼他就不可能會有那種想法。在那背後一定有一個靈魂、有一股強大的力量,否則,一個普通人處於那麼艱難的情況下,怎麼還能夠這麼正直、這麼有骨氣!不向人乞求任何東西!比方說其中有一位母親,她的嬰兒病得很厲害,而她又沒有錢。她想帶著小孩走二十英里路去鄰近大城市的醫院,請求他們幫孩子看病;如果對方願意的話。那時有一個記者剛好開車經過,便順道載那對母女去城裡,而且還給了她一些錢讓嬰兒治病。結果那位母親愣住了!那位盧安達婦人非常驚訝地看著那個記者說:「您願意載我們一程就已經夠好了!」


他們真的是很善良的一群人!很有骨氣、很誠實,所以他們值得幫助。這只是舉例讓你們明白,只要堅持積極肯定的精神,奇蹟就會發生。即使有的人修了觀音法門之後,還是一樣差勁和否定,奇蹟照樣發生!所以,要是能更肯定、更有信心,你能想像自己會多有力量?你能加持自己、加持自己的生活、加持整個世界,甚至加持宇宙,你所到之處都有奇蹟發生!所以照這樣去做,奇蹟就會發生!


那個小孩才十六歲而已,卻能說出那種話!全村的人都不跟他講話,也不想靠近他,因為他們家很窮。大家都說他們不好、走霉運等等,但是那個男孩說:「我會證明他們是錯的!」所以他在16歲的時候,每天工作十八個小時,扶養五個兄弟姊妹和年邁的祖父母。他說他什麼都不怕,就怕萬一自己生病不能工作。工作之餘,他也自修,手邊拿到什麼書,他就學習什麼。正由於他那種精神,所以奇蹟就出現了!


僅僅三十英鎊,就夠他買一塊地和幾隻羊,然後可以擠奶、製作乳酪,還有種菜,那樣就足以養活一家人了!所以我送去的那筆錢不僅是個奇蹟,還遠超過他所需要的十倍以上,這還不包括送給其他人的部分。這一切都只因他那股堅毅的精神!他甚至沒有印心,沒有修行什麼或有什麼特別之處,他只是一心一意工作養活自己的家人而已。由於那股堅強的毅力,奇蹟就發生了!那對他來說是個奇蹟,因為整個家庭只需三十英鎊,就能永久自給自足!而且他得到的還不只那些,在那個國家、那種處境下,那已經算是一大筆財富了!


這就好像你原本也許只需一萬英鎊,卻突然中獎得到十萬英鎊,那就是一個奇蹟,一個奇蹟的顯現!那個男孩會有這些收穫,是因為他所說的話,因為他心中肯定積極的精神,因為他為家人的犧牲奉獻,這一切是如此肯定又堅強,所以使得奇蹟發生!


因此,你們處在如此幸運的情況下,若能運用你們所獲得的靈性力量,不斷發展、進步的話,那麼創造出的奇蹟將會增加多少?我們可以用念力促使任何事情發生,我們祝福別人好、做利益別人的事,那樣就是每天在創造奇蹟了。你們就是奇蹟!你們是其他人的奇蹟,也是你們自己和那些較不幸的人的奇蹟,天堂就是這樣形成的。當那個十六歲男孩所獲得的,比永久供給全家所需還多出十幾倍時,對他而言,那不是天堂是什麼?否則你認為天堂看起來是什麼樣子?你認為什麼才是奇蹟?


因此我們時時都在創造奇蹟!我們用自己的雙手創造奇蹟,因為我們工作賺錢,然後藉此幫助一些不幸的人,使他們獲得維持生命的動力。我們可以用自己的意念、言談,用我們的慈悲愛心來安慰別人,這些都是你們每天所創造的奇蹟。你們的愛心行為令我以你們為榮!任何時候有人需要你們,你們就給予幫助!我很訝異這個社會上仍然有人需要我們幫助,不是只有非洲而已。所以我們每天都有機會做一些好事,也許只是給遊民五毛錢喝杯熱茶,或是送一英鎊給生病不能工作的人;或是當你的鄰居無法出門時,送上一杯咖啡給她;或是當她無法去藥房時,幫她買個藥。也許只是做一些不起眼的小事,然而那些都是奇蹟!對那些辦不到的人而言,那就是奇蹟。就像你想來這裡卻不能來,那麼當你能成行時,你會說:「噢,這真是奇蹟!」(大眾笑)


奇蹟時時都在發生!奇蹟是看你需要什麼而定。對你們而言,奇蹟就是能去見一位素昧平生的女士(師父開自己玩笑),而不是去賺錢,或在乎自己是不是沒錢了!(大眾笑)這就是奇蹟,對你們來說這可是一個了不得的奇蹟,而不是一個小小的驚喜而已!對那個盧安達男孩而言,三十英鎊的禮物就已經是個大奇蹟了,而他得到的還不只這些,甚至超過所需的十倍、十二倍之多,足以永久養活全家,至少夠用一輩子,可以建立穩固的生活。也許他會用那筆錢去做生意,不只是生產羊酪而已,也許還會開個農場之類的。他還可以送他的兄弟姊妹去上學,支付年邁的祖父母的醫藥費等等,而且等他有錢以後,還可以幫助別人。


這種影響會持續下去,不是只有他本人受益而已。因為現在有人幫助他,以後他也會幫助別人,這是一定的事!他絕不會忘記那段困苦的日子,所以他也能體會那些困苦的人,像這樣苦過來的人是不會忘記的。


所以我不只幫助他或他的家庭而已,那種效應會不斷傳遞出去,仁慈會衍生更多仁慈,許多人將因此而受益,這才是好的生活方式,才是我們應該過的生活。我們要培養仁慈心,並且長養它,使它發展茁壯,進而散播到全世界,這就是讓這個世界越來越好的方法。那會影響到很多層面,不只是靈性方面而已,也會影響到物質方面。你們也許不知道,那會影響政府、影響領導人員、影響和平、影響一切!你們看,現在吃素的人越來越多,愛爾蘭的內戰結束了,南北韓已展開對話等等,只是舉幾個例子而已,還有很多一時想不起來的。甚至連日本天皇不久前也對全世界發表一份充滿愛心悲憫的聲明,表達他對戰爭受難者深感遺憾及哀悼之意。他以前從未這麼做!也許有人會說那是迫於經濟或政治的壓力,但壓力一直都存在,這並不是頭一次哪個國家遭受某些人或其他國家、國際力量施壓,而日本或其他國家也不是第一次遭遇那種情況。所以這個世界一直不斷地在改善。


當然,阿修羅界的淨化過程仍然持續著,至於其他的則會堅強無事,而且會一直越來越好,看看我們在各方面已經提昇了這麼多。至於災難是無可避免的,那是阿修羅能量造成的業障。除此之外,任何可以改進的事物,都不斷地越來越好。你們以前想得到現在我們會有這些東西嗎?(師父拿起手機)對著一個這樣的方盒子說:「哈囉!」然後遠在世界另一端的人就可以回應你!還有其他很多先進的東西,像是可以將一千首歌壓縮灌入一個小小的iPod裡!沒人知道那是從哪裡來的!或是像一片口香糖那麼小的東西竟可以容納三百首歌,太厲害了!


現在就算相隔十萬哩,只要手持一個方盒子,就可以互相看到對方。此外還有各種影音設備、DVD等。遠在地球另一端的人看到的東西,就像出現在他們面前一樣,只需透過你手中的東西。這些事在一百年前,或甚至七十年前、五十年前,都算是奇蹟。所以生命一直都是奇蹟,如果你仔細觀察,就會發現奇蹟。只是有時我們視為理所當然,然後反反覆覆地要一些根本不重要或不需要的事物。奇蹟就在你的手中!當你出門時,就運用內在的奇蹟做事,並把奇蹟帶回家!那麼你就可以隨處散播奇蹟,散播到全世界。


我們時時都有奇蹟!這整個身體就是奇蹟,好好利用它,創造更多奇蹟。如果不善加利用,除非你看得到,不然就感覺不到什麼奇蹟。能看得到已經算不錯了!不要等到你看不見時,才想:「天啊!我以前看得見真是奇蹟!」要感恩!每天感謝上帝,感謝宇宙支撐的力量,使整個地球不至於掉到別的地方去,使太陽得以高掛空中,使月亮每個月都會準時出來跟你打招呼,不需任何時鐘。


到處都看得到奇蹟!就連下雪也會帶來水分,滋潤你的花園和農作物。每件事物都是奇蹟!所以不要把一切視為理所當然,而要將它們投資運用,創造更多奇蹟。運用我們神奇的雙手,讓財源廣進,以成就更多事,那麼我們就能享受人生,也造福他人。我們生活簡單,所以有能力去幫助別人,因為我們需要的並不多,有什麼就用什麼。每一樣你所擁有的都是一個奇蹟,就連頭髮也可以拿來變換千百種造型!別等全掉光了,才說:「噢,我的奇蹟沒了!」(大眾笑)


我們可以看得到四周的世界,那已經是大大的奇蹟了。你能想像要是自己失去視力會如何嗎?就像晚上你在一片黑暗中摸索,那時你才了解到耳朵聽得見是怎樣一種奇蹟。你的身體健康、體內所有的組織運作協調,那就是奇蹟!不要等到某個地方出毛病了,你才體會到它以前一直運作正常,有時會太遲了!你的生活順利、身體健全,這樣就很好了;身、心、頭腦協調合作,才能使你成為一個身心健全的人。你們已經很漂亮了,非常漂亮!你們樣樣都有,什麼都不缺!

Master Says








Make Miracles withYour Positive Spirit


 


Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, 
Surrey, United Kingdom 
January 2, 2006 
(Originally in English)



If that kid (Master is referring to a 16-year-old boy in Rwanda who touched Her heart with his upright spirit), or any human being were merely a physical body, it wouldn’t be possible that he could think like that. There must be a soul behind it; there must be some great force behind it. Otherwise, an ordinary person under such dire circumstances couldn’t still have such an upright spirit and wouldn’t be so proud, not begging or anything like that. For example, one of the mothers had a baby who was very ill, and she didn’t have money. So she wanted to walk 20 miles and bring her to the hospital in the next town, in the bigger city, to beg them to help her somehow, if they would. But then a journalist coming by gave her and the baby a lift into town. And the journalist also gave her some money for the baby’s treatment. She was stunned. The native Rwandan looked at the journalist, very surprised and said, “But your lift was good enough!”




These are really good people, very proud and very honest. And they deserve help. But this is just an example so that you know that if you just keep your positive spirit, miracles happen. Even if you’re still lousy and negative after you learn the Quan Yin Method, miracles still happen. Can you imagine if you’re more positive, with more faith, how much more powerful you can be? You bless yourself, bless your life, bless the whole world, bless the universe and make miracles happen everywhere, wherever you walk. So, do that! And it will happen.




That kid, he was only 16, and he also spoke like that. The whole village wouldn’t talk to him and wouldn’t go near him because he and his family were so poor, saying that they weren’t very lucky or good or anything. But the boy said, “I will prove them wrong!” So he worked 18 hours a day at 16 years of age to nourish his five brothers and sisters and his elderly grandparents. He said he wasn’t afraid of anything, only that he might get ill, that’s it, so that he could not work. But meanwhile, he still studied things by himself, like in a book that he grabbed somewhere. And because of that spirit, miracles did happen.




With only 30 pounds Sterling, he can buy a parcel of land and some goats, and make cheese and milk and plant vegetables, sufficient for the whole family. So the money I sent is more than a miracle. More than 10 times that I sent to him, apart from what was sent to other people as well. It’s just that he has a strong spirit. And he’s not even initiated; he’s not anything spiritual or anything special. He just wanted to concentrate on working to feed his family. Such a strong power like that could make miracles happen. It is a miracle for him because the whole family needs only 30 pounds to be independent forever. And he has more than that now. For that country, for that situation, it’s like a big fortune.




For example, if you won 100,000 pounds all of a sudden, and all you needed was maybe 10,000 pounds, that would be a miracle. It would be the manifestation of a miracle. And this boy earned it because of what he said, because of the spirit of positivity within him and because of the sacrifice he made for his family. It’s so positive and still so strong that it can make miracles happen.




So how much more could you make in your lucky situation, with the spiritual power that you’ve been given and you’ve acquired and continue to develop? We can make anything happen with mind power. Just think good for others and do good for others. That’s the miracle you’re making every day. You are the miracle! You are the miracle for other people, for yourselves, for the less fortunate. That’s what Heaven is made of. What else do you think Heaven is to that boy 16 years of age when he gets more than 10 times what he needs for the whole family, forever? What else do you think Heaven looks like, or a miracle is?




So we make miracles all the time. We make them with our own hands because we earn money. And then with those hands, we can give life-sustaining power to some unfortunate people. We can comfort them with our thoughts, with our speech and with our loving kindness. These are all miracles that you’re making every day. And I’m proud of you that you’re doing that. Anytime someone needs you, you give. And surprisingly in our societies, there are still people who need us, not just in Africa. So we have a chance to do something every day. Maybe we just give 50 cents to a homeless person for warm tea, maybe one pound to someone else who’s sick and can’t work, maybe a cup of coffee for a neighbor when she can’t go out and maybe buying some medicine for her when she needs to go to the pharmacy but can’t. Maybe it’s just doing any little thing, because those are all miracles. To the people who can’t do it, they’re miracles.  Just like you, when you want to come here but you can’t: So when you can, you say, “Oh, it’s a miracle!” (Everyone laughs)




Miracles happen all the time. Miracles depend on what you need. To you, a miracle is just to go and see some strange woman, (Master jokes about Herself) not to earn any money or care if you don’t have any! (Laughter) That’s a miracle, a big deal miracle, not just a small one, that goes to you. To that boy in Rwanda, a 30 pound gift is a big miracle. And it was even more than that, 10 or 12 times more, enough for the whole family forever or at least for life, to build their life, whole and strong. Maybe the boy can open a business as well, not just goat cheese but maybe a farm or something. And he’ll also be able to send his brothers and sisters to school and buy medicine for his elderly grandparents and help other people later when he becomes rich.




It goes on forever; it’s not just for him. Because someone helps him now, later he’ll help someone else. That’s always for sure! He will never forget the day that he needed, and he will understand the people who need. A person like that will not forget.




So it’s not like I’m just helping him or his family. It will continue. The kindness will be redeemed as more kindness, and many people will benefit from that. And this is a good way; this is how we should live our life. We breed kindness. We nurture it, make it grow and spread it all over the world. And that’s how the world becomes better. It does affect us in many ways, not just in a spiritual way but in a physical way as well. The thing you may not know is that it affects the government, affects the leaders and affects the peace. It affects everything. For example, you see now more and more people are vegetarian, you see that the war in Ireland is finished, and that south Korea and north Korea talked – so many things that one cannot even remember sometimes! Even the emperor of Japan just read a loving and sympathetic letter to the whole world, saying how sorry he was and how much sympathy he felt for the victims of the war. This has never been done before. Maybe you think it’s because of economic or political pressure, but that has always been there. This is not the first time any nation has had pressure from anyone else, from another country or from an international power, and it’s not the first time the Japanese or any other country has had that. So it’s getting better all the time.




Of course, there’s still the cleansing of the Astral. But the rest will be fine and strong and will get better all the time. Look at how far we have lifted, in all aspects. The disasters cannot be helped; that’s the karma of the Astral energy. But otherwise, whatever the improvements, it just gets better and better all the time. Could you have imagined before what we have now? (Master picks up a cell phone) Talking to a square piece like that, saying “Hallo!” then a guy from the other end of the universe answers you! And there are many other things. For example, you can concentrate 1000 songs into that small iPod. No one knows where it came from. Or, 300 songs in just a small stick, like a piece of chewing gum. That’s powerful!




Nowadays, we can even see each other from a hundred thousand miles away, just by holding a square thing in our hand. We have video pictures, songs, DVDs, everything. And a person at the other end of the globe can see it like it’s right in front of them, but it’s right there in your hand. That would have been a miracle a hundred years ago or maybe even 50 or 70 years ago. So, life is a miracle all the time. If you look, you see miracles. It’s just that sometimes we take things for granted, wishing and washing for something else, which is not really important or necessary at all. The miracle is in your hands. When you go out, you work with the miracle that’s inside. You go out, work with it and you bring home miracles. And then you can spread those miracles all around you and around the globe.




We have miracles all the time. The whole body is a miracle! Just make use of it, and make more miracles. If you don’t use it, there’s not much miracle except if you can see it. It’s good already. Don’t wait until you’re blind and think, “My God! I had a miracle before!” Appreciate it. Every day, thank God. Thank the Universe for its sustaining power so that the whole planet doesn’t drop into somewhere, so that the sun stays in the sky, so that the moon even comes out and says “Hallo!” to you every month on time, with no clock needed.




Miracles are everywhere. The snow brings water for your garden and for the agriculture. Everything is a miracle! So don’t take them for granted, but use them to invest and make more miracles. Use your miraculous hands to make more events happen with more financial success. Then you can enjoy life and spread it out. And our life is simple; that’s why we can afford to help someone else, because we don’t need much. You use whatever you have, and whatever you have with you is a miracle. Even your hair: you can do a thousand things with it. Don’t wait until you lose it all and say, “Oh, my miracle’s gone!” (Everyone laughs.)




We can see the world around us; that’s already a big miracle. Can you imagine if you didn’t have that? At night, when you’re groping in the dark, you know what it’s like to have the miracle of your ears so you can hear. Your health, all the tissues in your body functioning in harmony, that’s a miracle. When something goes wrong, then you appreciate that it was right before. Sometimes it’s late. But it’s good that your life and your body are in harmony together. The mind, the brain and the body work together to make you a functional, perfect human being. And you are beautiful already, very beautiful. You have everything; you’re lacking nothing.

清海無上師以中文講於福爾摩沙台南1988.10.13(MP3-CG02 


你們聽什麼人說:修行不應該持戒,不應該淨化身、口、意,就知道他們是開玩笑的,他們修行不嚴肅,認為修行跟小孩子玩遊戲一樣。


自古以來,沒有一個人修行那麼簡單就得道,除了那些從三界以外來的高等眾生,他們沒有一點問題,障礙很少,才能夠一修行就成道。他們即使有障礙的話,頂多只是看到什麼魔鬼,或是像釋迦牟尼快成佛時,看到魔王化成他的太太、兒子或是很漂亮的女人來誘惑他,這樣而已。不過那時候他說:「你們都是幻想!」然後他控制了那些幻想,並戰勝它們。這是釋迦牟尼佛遇到的障礙,不然的話,他也沒什麼障礙,他修六年就成佛了。我們如果沒有修對的法門,即使修六百年、六百劫,還不一定有什麼成果,因為煮沙不能成飯。但如果修觀音法門,就一定會成功!


我們修行應該保持身、口、意乾淨,不論我們的等級在三界以外或以內。我們聽什麼人說我們在三界以外,也不要馬上相信,要先檢查自己看看,如果還被綁住在哪個地方,就表示說我們還在三界以內,因為還被綁嘛,我們還不輕鬆、不自在,那時候就要趕快修行,等一下我們就變成在三界以外了。


任何佛菩薩在成道以前,都應該修行很辛苦。耶穌基督說他是上帝的兒子,不過當他在沙漠修行的時候,魔王還是來誘惑他。他修很辛苦,快成佛時,魔王來跟他說:「你只要拜我一拜,三界都是你的!」耶穌基督說:「你走到我後面!」意思是叫他走開、不要看他。事實上,當三界以內的梵天也不是簡單的事。


我們的意念最好時時刻刻都集中在最高的力量那邊,應該強烈地想念祂,想要回去最高的境界,不要停留在其他的境界,這樣我們就會造出來一種很好、很強烈的氣氛給自己用。然後我們自己蓋天堂,就像你們自己蓋道場一樣,你們先有構想和設計,然後再一起合起來建造,現在才有這個道場。


同樣,我們現在如果對天堂沒有好的設計,上去以後會找不到什麼東西。我們設計越高等的天堂,我們的境界就越高,因為「一切唯心造」,我們造天堂、地獄都是很簡單的事。所以每天不要忘記內邊的萬能力量,祈求祂幫忙:「我只要您,其他的東西您給我也好,不給也沒關係;生活夠用也好,即使不夠用,我也不管它,我真的只要回家,我不想再做什麼天啊、人啊、阿修羅啊那種輪迴生死的眾生。」


所以師父才教你們身、口、意都要乾淨,修行不能不持戒。不過我們修行好了以後,就自然會持戒。我們修行越好,感覺到自己越敏感,就自然會持戒,那個時候不用講戒、定、慧,自然有戒、有定、有慧,那才是真正的戒、定、慧。我們有智慧,跟我們沒有智慧一樣,我們不會想到自己有智慧,就像我們呼吸一樣那麼自然,或是像我們洗手、洗臉、睡覺那麼簡單。


我們不用刻意放下這個世界,只要繼續修行,有一天世界自然會放下我們,我們不怕被它綁那麼清楚。即使有的時候師父比較嚴格,說你們還放不下、還留戀這個世界,不過你們也不要因為這樣就痛心、敏感,應該反省、繼續修行,等一下就放得下了,等一下名啊、利啊、錢啊,任何東西對我們都無所謂了。並不是說我們不能用,而我們不想那些東西,有就用,沒有也沒關係。


所以我們想那些名利的東西,都是自己綁自己的。本來這個宇宙還沒有生萬物出來以前,並沒有任何東西,我們應該回溯到那個時候。萬物本來都是空,花還沒生出來以前是什麼?我們還沒生出來以前是什麼?本來都沒什麼,都是因緣聚合而生。所以我們不能留戀那種無常的東西,那些東西只是因為因緣而合起來,等一下因緣盡了就分散出去。


我們要真正了解這些道理,應該修行好久,然後有一天自然會悟到,真的是這樣。悟到了以後,我們就不會失掉。現在你們聽師父講,還是師父的財產,師父讓你們看一看而已,你們還沒有「錢」買得到,等你們買到了以後才是算你們的財產。所以還要繼續修行,並不是聽師父講這樣就夠了,心裡想:「既然萬物是空,業障本來空,那我們就不用修行了,太好了!師父講什麼就是什麼啦,相信她就好了!」這樣不行,因為現在你們還沒有真正了解。


所以我們身、口、意應該乾淨,越乾淨,我們災難越少、病苦越減少。遇到任何情況我們都不能怪別人,任何的天堂、地獄,都是我們自己造出來的。

We Create Our Own Heaven and Hell


Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai in Tainan, Formosa, 
October 13, 1988 (Originally in Chinese) MP3-CG02




When you hear someone say that it’s not necessary to keep the Precepts or purify the body, speech and mind in spiritual practice, you should know that they’re joking. They are not serious in spiritual practice and treat spiritual practice like a children’s game.


Since ancient times, no spiritual practitioner has been able to attain the ultimate Truth very easily. Only those superior beings from beyond the Three Realms who don’t have any problems and have very few obstacles can attain the Truth soon after embarking on the spiritual path. Even if they have obstacles, at the most it’s just seeing some demons, or it’s like Shakyamuni Buddha, Who, when He was about to reach Buddhahood, saw the Maya King transformed into His wife, son or a pretty woman to seduce Him. That’s all. However, at that time He simply said, "You are all but illusions!" Then He controlled the illusions and conquered them. That was the obstacle that confronted Shakyamuni Buddha; otherwise, He didn’t have any obstacles and attained Buddhahood after practicing for six years. If the method we practice is not the right one, even after six hundred years or six hundred eons, it will bear no fruit because we cannot cook rice from sand. But if we practice the Quan Yin Method we will definitely succeed!


Also, we spiritual practitioners should ensure that our actions, speech and thoughts are pure regardless of whether our level is within or above the Three Realms. When we hear people say that we’ve transcended the Three Realms, we shouldn’t believe them immediately. Instead, we should first introspect ourselves, and if we’re still bound somewhere that shows we’re still within the Three Realms because we’re still chained, still not relaxed or free. At that time, we should quickly practice spiritually and then very soon we will go beyond the Three Realms.


Every Buddha has to practice very hard before attaining the Truth. Jesus Christ said that He was the son of God, yet when He was practicing in the desert, the Maya King still came to tempt Him. He practiced very hard and when He was about to attain Sainthood, the Maya King said to Him, "All the Three Worlds I will give to you if you worship me." And Jesus Christ said, "Get thee behind me, Satan!" This meant that He was telling the devil to go away and out of His sight. In fact, it’s not an easy thing to become the king of the Three Realms.


It’s best for us to always focus our thoughts on the Supreme Power. We should think of Hirm intensely while craving to go back to the highest realm and not linger in any other realms. In this way we can create a very positive, intense atmosphere and use it to build our own Heaven the way you build your own meditation Center. First you conceive and design it and then get together to build it. That’s how you have this Center now.


Similarly, if we don’t conceive of a good design of Heaven, after we go there we won’t be able to find anything. But if we have a superior concept of Heaven’s design, we’ll go to a superior realm because "all is created by the mind." It’s very simple for us to create Heaven or hell. So don’t forget the Almighty Power within and pray every day to Hirm for help by saying, "I want only You! As for the other things, it’s fine if You give them to me; it’s also all right if You don’t. It’s fine if I can have enough to make a living, but if I don’t, I also don’t mind. Really, I only want to go Home. I don’t want to again become a deva, a human or an asura who has to transmigrate in the cycle of birth and death."


That’s why I teach you to purify your actions, speech and thoughts. To pursue spiritual practice we must observe the Precepts. However, when we’re advanced on the spiritual path we naturally observe the Precepts. The more advanced we are in spiritual cultivation, the more sensitive we feel, and so we observe the Precepts spontaneously. At that time there’s no need to emphasize the Precepts, samadhi or wisdom; we naturally attain them. Only then do we have the true Precepts, samadhi and wisdom. We have wisdom as though we don’t have it and we don’t think we have it. It’s as natural and simple as breathing, washing our hands, washing our faces and going to sleep.


It’s not necessary to deliberately renounce the world. We just need to persist in spiritual practice and the world will naturally let go of us one day. Don’t worry about being bound tightly by the world. Even if sometimes I’m rather stern and reprimand you for not being able to let go, and for continually clinging to this world, you don’t have to become agonized or irritated. Instead, you should introspect and persist in spiritual practice and sooner or later you will be able to let go. Sooner or later, all the fame, profit, money, all those things will mean nothing to you. It doesn’t mean we can’t use these things, but we don’t care about them. We use them if we have them and if we don’t have them it’s also fine.


Therefore, when we think about things related to fame and gain, we’re chaining ourselves. In the very beginning, before anything came into being in the universe, there was absolutely nothing. We should trace our thinking back to that time. Everything was originally nothing. Before a flower came into being, what was it? Who were we before we were born? Nothing existed in the first place. Everything comes into being through the convergence of causation so we mustn’t be attached to these ephemeral things, all of which things come into existence only due to causation and they will disperse when the causation ends.


To really understand this truth, we need to practice for a long time and then one day we’ll naturally realize that this is indeed the Truth. Having attained this realization, we will never lose it. Now as you listen to me telling you all this, it still belongs to me. I’m just letting you have a glimpse of it; you still don’t have the "money" to buy it. It only becomes your property after you have bought it so you must continue to practice. It’s not enough to just listen to me and then think, "Since everything is nothing and all karma is originally void, we have no need to practice anymore. This is too great! Whatever Master says is true. Just believe in Her!" This won’t do because you have not yet really understood.


So we must be pure in our actions, speech and thoughts. The purer we get, the fewer disasters and illnesses we’ll have. We can’t blame anyone for any situation we run into; all the Heavens and hells are created by us.

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.08


師父:我想將來所有政府制定的食品法規,都會採取類似現在防制菸害所使用的方法:在香菸盒上標示一些如「抽菸會致命」,或是「抽菸會危害健康,引發肺癌,縮短壽命」等警語。如果他們能在肉品上這麼做,很多人就不會再吃肉,那麼不久的將來,大家都會變成素食者了。


所以我建議那些領導者或政府機關,應該警告大眾肉食的危害,或至少強制規定在肉鋪放置一隻牛的屍體。要是能夠播映整個屠宰過程的影片那就更好,因為這樣一來,就可以讓消費者知道他們付錢買的究竟是什麼樣的東西了。否則我總覺得那像是在欺騙消費者,因為那些肉販只賣切好的肉給顧客,根本看不出原本動物的形狀。比方說,有時雞會整隻地賣,不過多數時候他們只賣半邊的雞或是肉塊,已經看不出來原來的模樣。顧客沒看到雞的頭是怎樣被活生生地剁掉,沒看到牛被單腳吊掛起來放血時,慢慢滴血到地面上的慘狀,也沒看到豬被


宰殺刺喉時,四隻腳還在掙扎亂踢的模樣,而且有時屠夫沒刺中要害,還得再刺一次!這些過程顧客都沒看到。還記得我那個節目—「真正的英雄」嗎?(DVD編號#760)







同修:喔!是的,那也是講這方面的事。而英國政府目前也正在推行公共場所全面禁菸。


師父:是,你們一定想不到,這還是愛爾蘭先發起的!你們相信嗎?一個酒館林立、喝酒人口眾多的國家,卻具備有充分的常識,決定在公共場所禁菸。而其他國家現在也開始慢慢跟進,已經有很多國家跟著做了。愛爾蘭太好了!這樣對那個國家很好。我真的為他們感到光榮,因為抽菸對誰都沒有好處,這一點大家很久以前就知道了。雖然香菸的包裝盒上標註有警告標語,不過還是有人照買來抽,所以乾脆在公共場所一律禁菸,這樣起碼能保護那些不抽菸的人。


不過有時情形還是很糟糕!就拿我下榻的旅館來說,雖然我住在禁菸的樓層,但我在浴室裡還是聞得到菸味。想不通為什麼隔壁的房客要躲在浴室內偷抽菸呢?有些人就是很不守規矩,因為我每天都聞到菸味。他們以為躲在浴室裡面抽就沒事了,可是菸味還是會飄到我的浴室來,因為他們打開抽風機,而旅館浴室的通風系統都是相通的。有時人們偏偏喜歡去禁菸區抽菸,純粹只是出於叛逆之類的心態。


因此,將來不但要禁菸,而且違法抽菸的人還應該要被罰款。比方說,任何乘客如果在飛機上的廁所抽菸的話,就得繳交2000美元罰款。每個地方都可以這麼做,包括飯店也是。如果被抓到,就得繳交罰款。應該強制施行這種政策,因為光靠宣導是不夠的,大眾並不怎麼遵守規矩,在道德上也不夠誠實。


此外,酒瓶也該貼上像是「喝酒會損害大腦,引發嚴重疾病」的警語,或至少要標示「酒會要人命」。酒真的會要人命!每年全世界都有成千上萬的人因酒醉駕駛而肇事死亡,這一點大家都知道。


不過酒駕喪生還不是最悲慘的情況,有些人寧可死掉,也不願一輩子殘廢,成為家庭和社會的負擔,讓自己和親朋好友痛苦、難過,那樣比死還難過。當然我們不希望任何人因喝酒而喪失性命,但是如果一個人已經斷手斷腳、神智不清,只能半死不活地躺在那裡,是不是生不如死?那會成為社會的負擔、納稅人的包袱,也會讓很多人悲傷。如果必須日以繼夜地照料一位這樣的病人,你們能想像他們家屬的心理壓力有多沈重嗎?那是不是比死還糟糕?


還有,對於那些父母因喝酒而出事的小孩來說,他們就像沒有父母一樣,甚至比孤兒還可憐。當這些小孩去學校,被大家問到父母的情況時,會覺得丟臉、尷尬和難過。那些家裡有人像植物人一樣躺在醫院或家裡的小孩,往往會有心理方面的創傷,因為小孩子不知道該如何向人解釋,於是其他小孩就會取笑他或是取笑他爸爸。你們能想像這些事嗎?那不是只有當事者死亡的問題而已。


我們並不希望看到有人因酒醉駕駛而死掉,不過由許多案例來看,那樣似乎還比殘活下來所遭遇的悲慘情況要好些。因為這種不幸事件的影響很深遠,不只是當事人受苦而已,連親朋好友也深受其害。光是談到這些事,就已經讓人很不舒服,更不用說如果是我們自己或家人遭遇到這種情況,會是多麼地痛苦。


所以我認為政府還沒有善盡職責。他們至少可以將每一樣危險的東西都貼上警語,讓小孩看得到。他們光只是禁止小孩喝酒,但是小孩根本不懂為什麼不能喝酒。如果小孩子拿起的每個酒瓶上面都寫著:「喝酒會損害大腦、降低智力,會減損對一切事物的判斷力。」至少小孩一看到警語,就會恍然大悟,明白為什麼不能喝酒。如果只是偶爾在電視或報紙上宣導,小孩不見得會剛好看到,電視也沒有每天播放這類廣告,讓小孩明白喝酒不好。大人只是用口頭告誡他們不要喝酒,你們也知道小孩子年輕氣盛,又很叛逆,你越是禁止他們喝酒,他們越是想盡辦法偷喝,像是自己去買來喝、去偷來喝,或是互相挑戰來喝,甚至闖進酒館偷酒喝。這樣反而造成反效果。他們為什麼不在酒瓶上貼標籤,或至少標示警語呢?讓小孩知道為什麼不能喝酒,就像在香菸盒上標示警語那樣,這麼一來,起碼會使一些小孩醒悟過來,或讓小孩從一開始就知道喝酒真的不好。


同修:師父,我認為政府並沒有全力禁菸,原因是他們擔心經濟會受到影響,因為香菸稅是一項很大的稅收來源。


師父:不過政府還是有努力,他們將警告標語標示在菸盒上。為什麼酒類不也這麼做?難道也是經濟考量嗎?政府還有很多方面可以課稅;只要不再打仗、不再花大筆金錢製造武器,那些經費就足以拿來餵飽全世界的人了。


所以政府應該將所有會危害人的東西,無論酒還是什麼,都貼上警告標語。因為身為國家的領導者,他們應該要這麼做。保護人民是他們的職責,不該等到人民生病或瀕臨死亡,才花很多納稅人的錢去醫治這些人,有時也沒辦法救治,已經為時已晚。就算最後這些病患治癒了,他們也飽受折磨,整個家庭跟著承受麻煩,以及情緒和心理的痛苦。


我真不懂全世界的領導人都在做些什麼、都在忙些什麼!他們應該處理這些基本問題:除了實施禁菸,違法的人也要處以罰鍰,就像犯法一樣。如果有人往別人背後捅一刀,兇手會被抓去坐牢,至少關上一陣子;同樣的,要是有人將煙吹到別人的鼻子裡,害人致癌或生病的話,這種人也應該坐牢或被罰款,這樣他們才不敢再那麼做。在別人面前抽菸是另一種行兇,也算是一種侵犯、傷害他人的行為。抽菸真的會傷害人體,就跟刺傷別人一樣,只不過受害者痛的方式不同,是那種慢性、無形的傷痛。每個人都知道二手菸對人體危害很大,會使很多人喪生、痛苦,讓成千上萬的民眾生病,造成國家社會福利系統的負擔。這點大家都知道,可是卻沒有人採取任何行動。


如果政府擔心因為警告人民不要買菸,或是因為香菸盒印製了警語導致人民減少買菸,造成經濟衰退,到頭來政府還是得把菸草業的稅金用在抽菸的受害者身上,支付他們的醫療費用,那又有什麼用?


同修:有相關研究報導指出,那種醫療費用更高。


師父:沒錯!首先,政府要花費更多的成本;其次,會造成民眾痛苦不堪。這不是只有錢的問題而已,抽菸會使人身體病痛,精神受苦,也會戕害全國人民的聰明才智。長久以來已經有許許多多的人由於抽菸、喝酒而導致腦部受損,這些人才原本可以投身建設國家,建設一個更祥和、更明智、更理性的世界。


大約一百年前,喝酒還是被明令禁止,而且是非法的,我不懂他們為何解除禁酒令。每個人都知道酒是穿腸毒藥,卻還依舊公開販售。雖然只有成年人可以買酒,可是如果家裡總是擺著一瓶威士忌,大人又成天喝酒,那如何禁止家裡的小孩喝酒?還有,當大人們跟朋友聚會,坐在岩石上或是其他地點,一邊喝酒,一邊愉快地聊天,一副很酷的樣子。這樣的畫面會讓小孩深信:喔!喝威士忌會讓人開心!


或是在某些浪漫的場合中,父母坐著一起喝威士忌或其他酒類。小孩看了心裡當然會想:「喔!想要羅曼蒂克,就要像爸爸媽媽這樣。」於是他會邀請女朋友來,遊說她一起喝酒,以為這樣才符合電影裡或家裡看到的羅曼蒂克畫面。


如果社會教導小孩一堆垃圾,卻又期望世界和平、井然有序,期望小孩乖巧聽話、頭腦聰明,畢業後當個好公民等等。但是當小孩看到大人這種壞榜樣時,又怎麼能倖存在這個世界上成為好公民?


所以我們一定要大聲疾呼,我們的話會造成影響。我們只管開口說,別人聽不聽隨他們,至少我們說出來了。本來就應該這麼做。如果不在酒瓶上印標語,至少餐廳裡也應該標示:「喝酒危害生命」。為什麼單單只禁菸而已?香菸造成的傷亡並沒有酒類多,酒精造成的影響甚至比香菸的影響更快速。如果有人喝醉了出門,被別人激怒,他們會大打出手、互相殘殺,甚至將對方刺成重傷。喝酒的後果是那麼立即可見,為什麼不在酒瓶上貼上警告標語?我實在不懂。


此外,酒精會損害人的腦部,這是每個人都知道的事。而且腦部一旦受損就無法修復,除非是喝很少量的酒,而且接著很長一段時間都不再喝酒,那麼腦部受損的區域才有時間復原,但也不是永久復原。如果你不停地傷害它,它就回復不了。如果你喝烈酒的話,那麼你的頭腦就永久毀損了。無論酒精進入哪個部位,都會損壞那個區域,腦神經一旦受損就無法復原了,這是許多人都知道的事實。現代人有電視可看,有報紙可讀,不能說你不知道這些知識,所以為何不將警告標語印在酒瓶上呢?


以後連肉鋪裡會危害人類的東西,也應該貼上警語,在每一小塊肉包裝上標示:「你以吃屍體維生!」、「為了你今天一頓飯,某些生命被殘忍地殺害。」這麼一來,至少顧客會先明瞭,再作選擇。而且還要將死牛或牛隻被殘殺的照片貼滿肉鋪的牆上,至少讓民眾知道自己正在掏錢買什麼。如果做買賣是靠矇騙顧客上門來購買,那就像詐欺一樣,一點也不誠實。


同修:有時肉看起來並不像肉,因為它們被做成火腿或香腸之類的東西,所以小孩嘴裡吃著香腸,卻不知道香腸是什麼東西做的。


師父:對,他們不知道。我認識一個人,他有個四歲大的姪子一點都不愛吃肉,只喜歡不含肉的東西。但是他父母卻一直強迫他吃肉,有時甚至害他生病。所以我告訴我那位朋友,應該說服那對父母讓小孩自己作選擇。之後的情形如何,我就不知道了,但至少我已經盡力了。



大眾的覺醒創造人間天堂


我們無法說服全世界的人都不吃肉,不過至少要儘量告知周遭的人,儘可能去做。如果我們一起努力,一定會有結果。我們可以透過電視、廣播電台、小冊子或傳單來宣傳,隨時隨地呼籲大眾:「成為一位素食者吧!至少今天吃素,可以拯救一條無辜的生命。」把牛被單腳倒掛在天花板的圖片印在傳單上,把它印出來,讓人們看看牛是如何被殘殺的。


同修:師父,英國素食協會已經在這方面下了很多功夫。他們有特別為學校設計些活動,同時也製作了上面印有動物臉的T恤。


師父:是,我知道。要印就應該印牛被倒掛在天花板,屠夫在一旁拿刀的圖片,這比長篇大論更有力量。我希望這樣能真正撼動一些人的心,讓他們採取一些行動。即使人們不聽我們的勸告,以致於挽救不了他們的靈性,那至少我們可以拯救一些可憐的動物。


我們還應該做些什麼來淨化這個星球呢?我們可以在校園裡張貼些警告標語,到處貼些像是「毒品會致命」、「毒品有害心智」、「吸毒會使你上癮而無法自拔」、「吸毒使人傾家蕩產及性無能」之類的標語,這些都是千真萬確的事!我們為何不宣導這些事情呢?這些都是事實。吸毒會使人軟弱沉迷,臉色蒼白難看,又臭又老又病,為何不在校園裡宣傳這些事實呢?不要光在那邊說「禁止吸毒」,應該要全盤解釋清楚,因為學童的課業繁重,並不是每個小孩都會讀到全部的訊息。如果老師沒有說明清楚,或只提一兩次的話,還是不夠的。


我們應該到處張貼關於毒品、酒精以及肉食害處的標語,例如「為了你今天的晚餐謀殺了一條生命」,把這個標語印在每盒牛肉或豬肉上,看看有多少人還會想買肉,讓人們去想想看。殺害人命叫做謀殺,殺害動物也同樣是謀殺!動物牠們只是四處走動,對你無害,但你卻跑去把牠殺了,那就是蓄意謀殺,要不然該怎麼說呢?所以我們應該說:「為了你餐桌上的這塊肉,一條生命被謀害了。」看看大家會怎麼想。


將來如果所有政府都能確實盡責,更有道德、更堅定,而非只為經濟擔憂操心的話,世界會越來越乾淨。因為把收來的稅拿去支付病患醫療費用的話,怎麼算都划不來。這些東西會讓許多人受苦,不單是在治療過程中要受苦,有些人甚至根本治不好,即使讓他們服用再多的藥,接受最先進的儀器治療,還是無法康復。這樣倒不如根本就不要賣香菸,或在菸酒上面標示警語,這麼一來患病的人就會減少,我們也不必去支付那些醫療費用了。這些醫療的開銷遠比稅收來得高,豈不是在做虧本生意嗎?任何明智的政府都應該好好精打細算,就會知道怎麼做才合乎經濟效益。此外,警告大眾和保護人民本來就是政府的職責所在,他們有義務照顧人民的健康和安全。


有太多好事你們可以效法,你們可以從我做事的榜樣,過去的事蹟及教理中去找。我從不禁止你們做什麼,你們可以戴高級珠寶,我甚至還為你們設計天飾。有慶祝會時,你們也可以穿漂亮的服飾。我們並不常需要那些東西,但是想要的話也可以,如果不必要就不用,我們怎樣都自在。我們的美麗是由內向外散發出來,所以根本不需要穿華麗衣服讓自己好看,但是如果有人想要穿,我也不禁止。我不想讓你們當個苦行僧,只要記得吃素就好,這是為了長養慈悲心。只要你內在越美,外在各方面也會越美,你的穿著品味也會更好,一切都會一天比一天更好。


很久以前,譬如在中國,很多國王本身就是靈性導師,像堯、舜都是明師,而且他們都愛民如子。那個時代夜不閉戶,人民也不用繳稅給國王,完全不必為國王做任何事,一個社會理當如是。


所以每個政府都應該頒獎給我們、嘉許我們:「你們做得很好,是在幫助政府!」何況我們還是義務做的,他們不需要付錢給我們。因為每個政府都需付錢請警察或軍隊來防制犯罪和保護人民,而我們正是做同樣的事,而且不支領薪水呢!我們不會跟警察發生衝突,沒有傷害任何人,更沒有任何武器去傷人,所以怎麼可能是壞人呢?怎麼會有政府不懂這個道理?可見這個世界還是很落後。當然上帝是不會記恨的,祂還是一直在幫忙把每個人都提昇上去!


不妨想想,要是每個人都跟我們一樣,即使他們不吃素,那就先從不喝酒、不碰毒品及不抽菸開始,如此一來,他們會變得更神清氣爽、身體健康,還可以省下很多錢。人人都會更快樂,擁有好的房子及車子,身體健康,家庭安樂,同時也為孩子們樹立一個良好的榜樣。如果我們能戒除酒、肉和菸,家庭會更和樂,學校環境也會更好。


由此可知,淨化生活真的會產生很大的效應,它會影響到每一件事,不僅是個人或家庭,還會影響整個社會,這也是為什麼我認為世人都應該這麼做的原因。只要他們依照我們的榜樣去做,不必來跟我學打坐,也不必全都成為聖人;我可以不用去教他們,他們也不必來找我,只要淨化他們自己的生活就足夠了。他們可以向上帝或其他對象禱告,不過他們的美德及良好的生活方式自然會影響全世界,整個世界都會成為天堂,根本不需要我。


怎麼世人都沒有發現這一點?為何沒有更多國家領導人努力推行這種純淨的生活方式,建立一個人人都會快樂和平的天堂呢?如果他們真心想要照顧同胞,就該那樣做,至少要努力去推行,樹立典範。因為那正是當權者該做的事,他們有能力改變整個世界的!身為一國的領導人,至少也可以改變自己的國家。只要一步一步來,就會很容易。我們不妨也開始擘劃一個風氣純淨的社會,以及每個政府都應該要推行的事情,也許這樣的夢想會成真,事實上已經開始了。


我認為問題的根源還是在酒、菸和毒品,從那裡一切事情都變壞,因為人一旦失去理智,什麼事都做得出來。在佛陀的時代有個故事,那時有人教導民眾要持戒:不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語及不喝酒,不過有個人說他除了「不喝酒」之外,其他四個戒律都可以持守。結果他喝酒之後,就跑去殺人,殺人之後又說謊,接連做盡各種壞事,這一切都只因為他喝醉酒。酩酊大醉以後,要是有誰擋他的路,他就殺那個人,要是有人想勸阻他的話,他也將對方殺掉。因為那時他已經無法控制自己,不知道自己在做什麼。


所以我衷心希望將來所有政府都能這麼做:首先將有關酒精危害的警語張貼在每一家賣酒的商店裡,接下來印製有關肉類和魚類的警語,像是:「有些生命因為你而被謀殺了」,起碼要向大眾宣導這些事實,讓人們能有所選擇。因為人們也許不知道這些實情,他們知道自己是在吃肉,可是因為長久以來每天都這麼吃,所以也不會多想什麼。多數的民眾都沒被好好教導,他們只知道那些「優良」肉品和烈酒等的廣告,那些全都是騙人的!所以如果讓大家知道這正是他們的選擇時,他們可能就會去思考。你們不必強力推行,非得要別人吃素不可,只要讓大眾知道為什麼要吃素,讓他們知道還有另一種選擇,可以不用殺生就可以活下去,大眾自己就會決定,他們知道那將是比較明智的選擇,不過前提是必須讓大眾有足夠的知識來作選擇。

清海無上師以英文講於匈牙利歐禪 2005.02.23-24



我們必須幫助世界進化到更高的等級,加入其他更進化的銀河系,當我們這樣做時,也是在幫助自己提昇!




         一切事物都已經改變!世界變了,我變了,你們也變了。每個人都必須跟著改變,我們要迎頭趕上!雖然我的外表沒變,但我已經和以前不一樣了,一切都變了。內邊的概念變了,我的做法也變了,所以你們也要跟著改變。你們的思考方式要改變、對待自己的方式要改變,看待打坐的態度也要跟著改變,你們要把打坐視為生命中最重要的事!


所以,如果真的有事要處理,那就快去處理,否則,就找個地方打坐去!任何地方都可以。即使你們得穿著大衣在雪地裡打坐,還是要坐下來打坐!你們也不是第一個這樣做的人,只是你們比較幸運。以前中國有位明師,在他成道以前,在雪地裡跪了三天懇求印心。他跪在厚厚的雪地上整整三天,他的師父還是拒絕給他印心,於是他就砍斷自己的手臂表示誠意,把手臂獻給師父。那時他的師父很感動,才幫他印心。他後來成為中國六位禪宗祖師之一(二祖慧可)。


我不是要你們砍斷手臂,不要誤會!(大眾笑)我的意思是,你們真的是非常幸運!就算你們得坐在雪地上打坐,那就坐下去;就算你們人坐在那裡,心裡卻想東想西,上帝還是知道你們奉獻的心,你們會得到點數。我們盡力而為就好,我們頭腦裡滿滿那些愚蠢、世俗、瑣碎的事情,並不是我們的錯,因為世俗生活從四面八方、無時無刻用各種情況壓迫我們。所以不管是在小中心、公車上、公園裡、甚至育嬰室裡,任何地方有機會打坐就打坐。特別是現在地球正在加入較高等的銀河系,在這個過渡時期,一切眾生都受到加持,對那些信心高強的人也大開方便之門。


就算你餓著肚子、口很乾渴,還是要打坐。當然,如果你有得吃喝,就先照顧好自己。但是就算打坐的時候你會死,也還是要打坐,因為那是唯一跟著你的寶藏,所以沒關係!不用擔心。我們也在幫助世界順利進入新的千禧年,你們都聽說西元兩千年世界原本會毀滅,那是真的,但是我不想告訴你們。當然也因為我在這裡,所以才沒發生。在倫敦時(請參考清海無上師於1999年6月9日的講經開示《勇敢面對生活》; DVD#662),我說過世界末日不會發生,結果就沒有發生,但是差一點就發生!所以世界各地才發生像聖經提到的大災難。你們自己也知道,而且我已經事先告訴過你們,要更精進努力打坐,因為現在我們正處於淨化的階段。


一旦你發生改變,你自己會知道。當你打坐、等級提高的時候,自己會感覺得到,周圍的人也看得出來。你變得更光亮、更開朗、更隨和、更單純,而且理解事情很迅速。那些等級比較低的人就比較複雜,也許他們本來就很複雜,現在還是沒變。但是當你從第二界提昇到第三界時,就完全不一樣了!很快,很不一樣!等級越高,差別越明顯。


你們在祈禱前要謹慎三思!想想看這些祈禱是真的好,還是出自於自私的想法。禱告真的有用!但要確定你們想要的東西真的對大眾有益,因為任何你們祈求的事情我都得去做,沒有別人會做。所以有時如果讓我多打坐,對你們、對世界更好。不是說我來看你們就對你們比較好,不見得每次都這樣。


我們永遠都相連相繫,我從不覺得離你們很遠,為什麼你們會覺得離我很遠?不管我坐在這裡或是坐在山洞裡,我從不覺得跟你們隔開,為什麼你們會覺得和我隔開,需要來看我?生活中有兩種事物我們必須分清楚:「必要」的事物和「想要」的事物。「必要」的事物是好的,一定得發生、一定得有;而「想要」的事物則是有也好,沒有也無所謂。「必要」的東西應該要有,沒關係;「想要」的東西則不同,我們要分清楚。


就算你們今天、明天或明年想要看到我,我的肉身又能維持多久?我就在這裡(師父指向自己的智慧眼),我就在這裡(師父指著自己的心)。最好是你們整天二十四小時都與我同在,意思是說你有在打坐,你很善良,對別人很好,而且記得上帝,就是這樣。那就是我們同在的方法,我們朝同一個方向看。還記得嗎?有人說:「愛不是看彼此的眼睛,而是看同一個方向。」這句話說得很對,只要我們做同樣的事、想同樣的事,我們就一直同在了,而以後我們也會一直永遠在一起。我們必須幫助世界進化到更高的等級,加入其他更進化的銀河系,當我們這樣做時,也是在幫助自己提昇。


這樣做才最好,這樣才是和我同一體的最好方式。否則,就算你們坐在這裡,還是好像離我一千哩那麼遠,你們沒有和我同一體。你們聽自己那個笨頭腦的意見,沒有聽我的,所以就算坐在這裡也沒用,還不如回家去!


你們要節省時間,不需要的事就不做,必須做的事就快快做。一秒鐘是你的生命,半秒鐘也是你的生命,要好好打坐,加入整個宇宙的聖人團體,不能落後!不然他們會笑你,尤其你們還是我的徒弟!總而言之,成佛很容易,只要找對法門,努力修行。就像科學研究一樣,只要研究的方向正確,就會找到結果。



舉止自然就是對自己坦白

不要管外表怎樣,不要在乎別人怎麼說你,不用在意別人對你的看法,因為整個世界都是幻想,不管是誰在那邊想誰是誰。所以外表有時會騙人,我們不要做那種事。你們要檢查自己,看自己裡面是不是真的誠心,不要裝出一副道貌岸然的樣子,那很噁心!如果大家都以為你很好,但其實你並不是那樣,那對你也不好。不僅對那些錯看你的人不好,對你自己更是不利!因為別人期望你那個樣子,你也認為自己沒問題,結果你就一直留在原地不動。


你不會去反省自己,也不會想改善自己,因為你認為只要露出微笑、親切待人、在小中心努力工作,大家就會認為你是聖人,你用這些行為掩飾內在的缺點,隱藏自己等級很低的事實。這樣對你真的很不好,因為這樣做有效,所以你就一直戴著笑臉幫忙做事。你做工作是為了給別人看,讓人知道你在工作,或者用微笑親切的態度,讓別人認為你是聖人。這樣的做法很有效,所以你就一直混下去。


不過你越戴上這種外表的面具,離內邊的真我就越遠。因為這種做法很管用,乾脆繼續下去。過一段時間以後,你還真的以為自己已經很不錯了,不知道應該更誠心、更切實追求內邊的進步。外表真的會瞞過很多人,甚至騙你自己,所以不要做那種事。如果你來這裡跪拜我一萬次,我也不會感到高興。我只要求你們打坐,從不要你們拜我。拜來拜去很討厭!


所以不管你們做什麼事,一定要捫心自問,不是做給我或給旁邊的人看。你們要問問自己:「我在做什麼?我這樣做對嗎?我是不是誠心誠意做的?我真的進步了嗎?」要誠實地面對你自己,不是面對我,我不會在乎的。雖然我會責罵你,叫你別那麼做,但是我真的不在乎,因為那不關我的事。那是你的人生,要自己去美化它,不要到哪兒都帶著垃圾,為了自己而打擾到每個人。你在小中心吸引別人的注意,跟在外面吸引別人注意一樣糟糕,都是渴望名利而已。


所以要小心,別老是停在那裡,靠外表的假面具在社會上賴下去。這個肉體沒什麼了不起,任何肉體都一樣,我們只是暫住在裡面一陣子,用來達成我們的目標。所以不要太注重外表,反正沒有人在乎,只要做人坦白、誠心、真摯就好,自自然然,我喜歡這樣。



越奉獻,就越擴大自己

你們有些人的毛病是:你們來這邊打禪,只顧慮到自己,根本不關心旁邊同修的需要。你完全不想到別人,這也不錯,不過太自私了。所以要看情況!如果你來這裡一心打坐、一心想念上帝,這樣就很好!不過如果你什麼都只想留給自己,想要師父的注意,想要佔同修的位子,任何最好的都給自己用,這樣就不好了。


「專注自己」跟「自私自利」是不一樣的。「專注自己」的意思是你專注於內在,專心打坐,那個很好!你不去管閒事,也不閒聊,不管那些不相關的事,那樣做是對的。「自私自利」則是無論看到什麼,都想抓來給自己,那對自己很不好。這樣的人即使來這裡打禪,還是不會有什麼收穫,甚至會被扣掉一些點數,因為任何自私的態度會減損你的功德。任何時候你如果一心只想圖利自己,反而什麼都會失去;如果用愛心服務別人,無條件奉獻,就會有所收穫。


這是宇宙的運作方式,聽起來好像很矛盾。但每當你為大眾、為某個人奉獻的時候,你就會擴展,你的能量和磁場至少會擴展到對方那邊去。相反的,如果你只想到自己:「我要這個!」「這個我要全部留給自己」,你就會局限在自我的框框裡。


你越奉獻,就越擴大自己,你會越來越偉大。這個道理我已經講了二十年,你們都說:「是!很好!師父您講得真好!」但是如果沒有真正去了解,沒有把我教的付諸實行,那只是浪費時間而已。我並不是特別針對某個人,而是就普遍的情況來說。那些修行到現在還是很自私、我執很重的人,趕快放下!


你越抓,就越虧本!聽起來似乎很矛盾,不過宇宙法則就是這麼運作的。所以你們要改善自己,做自己認為是好的事情,全力以赴。我也知道這個世界虧待你們,常常帶給你們煩惱和障礙。甚至連你的家人、你所愛的人,你以為最了解你、最親近的人,也老是給你帶來麻煩,我知道這些情況。


所以我才會一而再、再而三提醒你們這些。我不會生你們的氣,丟下你們不管,因為我知道你們還不懂。我了解你們在這個世界修行真的很辛苦,因為每件事都想拉你離開修行的路。你才剛開始要打坐,昨天的事又浮上腦海。不是說昨天有人煩你,煩完就結束了,它還會反覆煩你好幾天,有時讓你心痛好幾個禮拜,甚至好幾個月、好幾年。


不是說昨天或上禮拜有人傷了你的心,然後你難過一個禮拜或難過一天就好了。不!它會一直糾纏你,刺傷你的心。即使你努力想專注在智慧眼、想念上帝、保持肯定的想法,還是很不容易,我知道那種情況,所以盡力就好。不管如何,你們的努力已經有了成果,整個天國都知道。



唯有提昇靈性方能帶來宇宙和平

如果你們有問題,可以問我,沒有的話就繼續打坐。打坐是你們分內的工作,但是也會讓你的生活過得更好,可以消除這輩子應該清付的定業,如果你們打坐,這些定業可以減輕,也有助於世界提昇,讓整個宇宙更團結、更平均,各個星球的等級才不至於相差太多而引發星際大戰。


以前確實發生過星際戰爭。就靈性的角度來說,因為各個星球之間的靈性振動頻率差太多了,才會彼此打仗。因此,為了讓宇宙和平,我們必須打坐建立和平的氣氛。不然就算這個世界和平了,如果別的星球不和平的話,還是會有戰爭發生,不是某個星球的戰爭,而是星際之間的戰爭。


這個地球以前曾經被摧毀過。地球曾經達到非常高的科技水準,但是由於那時候的人知識太多,靈性方面卻沒有發展,所以攻擊其他星球,其他星球也反擊,造成許多事物被摧毀。


我們人類曾經比現在還文明,現在也快回到過去的水準了,但是我們的知識如果沒有和智慧相匹配,物質成就沒有和靈性發展相平衡,不但會自我毀滅,也會連累別的星球。許多星球都是因為這樣而毀滅的,他們擁有太多物質的知識,卻缺乏靈性的智慧,到頭來就是互相戰爭。


這個星球已經邁入二十一世紀。「二十一世紀」是從耶穌的時代算起,其實早在耶穌之前,這個星球就已經存在很久了,但是到今天我們還在打仗!你們能想像嗎?就像野蠻人一樣!我們自稱為人,卻毫不留情地殘殺其他人,還敢說這是「文明時代」,我們到現在還在彼此殺戮,跟生活在叢林或是洞穴的時代一模一樣。我們稱那些人為「穴居人」,說他們很落後、很原始,但至少他們不會像我們這樣大規模互相殘殺。所以物質上的文明不能帶給我們任何舒適或和平,唯有靠靈性的了悟才行,這點你們自己觀察也會了解。

清海無上師以英文講於匈牙利歐禪 2005.02.26


修行等級越高,智商也會越高,所以我們同修之中,有人的智商是天才。智商達到150或是140就算是天才了,我們團體中有很多這種人!不過外表有時候會騙人,有些人看起來笨笨的,但其實很聰明;有些人長得一副聰明相,卻剛好相反。


因為隨著你的修行等級越高,智商也會越高,智商會隨著開悟而提高。你們有沒有想過為什麼愛因斯坦那麼聰明?他是一位素食者,為什麼呢?他一定是修了某種法門,不然為什麼吃素?何況在他的時代,很少人知道什麼是素食!因此,愛因斯坦吃素一定是因為他有跟一些瑜伽行者學打坐,所以他的智商才變高。在那個時候,修行是很稀有的事,很少人知道瑜伽是什麼,也很少人打坐或吃素,像愛因斯坦這樣算是極少數,所以他的智商當然很高。要是我把你們送回那個年代,你們全會變成愛因斯坦,因為就那個時代來說,你們太聰明了。


你們全都是愛因斯坦:有的是大愛因斯坦,有的是小愛因斯坦,或是迷你愛因斯坦!這是因為你們的智商已隨著修行而提高。靈性的提昇會打通所有的管道,清除靈體、身體脈絡的阻塞。你體內的血液循環會更順暢,訊息傳遞更迅捷,看事情也會看得更清楚。你的等級越高,溝通管道就越暢通,可以從大腦接收更多的訊息和更正確的指示。否則,即使你的大腦夠聰明,指示你該怎麼做,但你還是會笨手笨腳,因為身體阻塞不通(師父指她的上手臂),只有一點點訊息傳得過去,所以你才會事倍功半。可見靈性上的阻塞也會影響身體運作的明確度。


如果沒有修行,就不會那麼聰明,即使小時候很聰明,長大以後因為吃肉、喝酒,或受到環境的不良影響,智商也會變低。所以我們修行不只是為了上天堂,我們在這個世界就能善用修行的成果,因為我們比較聰明,可以幫助別人,能成為領導者。當別人束手無策時,我們出來說:「啊!這個簡單!」結果兩分鐘內就想出解決辦法,別人想不到你看起來這麼年輕,竟然那麼聰明。


當你遇到情況考驗時,就會知道自己有多聰明,平時是不會知道的。你修行以後慢慢進步,因為你本來不聰明,所以你以為自己還是像以前一樣笨(大眾笑)。等到有情況考驗,你就會知道:「喔!原來我的智商有增加了一點。」如果你沒遇到考驗也沒關係,但是你越有不同的情況考驗,越會了解自己現在真的很聰明。你們真的很聰明!不是那種奸詐的小聰明,而是真正有智慧。你會覺得很自豪,知道修行真的有用,連家人和同事都會好奇說:「這是怎麼回事?你跟以前不一樣!到底發生什麼事?」


只是你所處的環境不一定會遇到考驗,四周的人也不一定以前就認識你,能看得出你的轉變。如果你是獨自工作生活的話,當然沒有人會留意到,自己更想不到。不過,如果你碰巧和別人有往來,就會知道自己真的不一樣了,因為別人也會注意到。他們不了解其中的原因,但是知道你真的不一樣,成長了,你現在有某種特質,是他們沒有而且不了解的。


所以說,即使你們在這裡只算小地瓜(大眾笑),但我知道你們在外面很出色。別以為我不知道,我很尊重這一點,我真的很尊重你們的成就,但我不想讓你們停在那裡。所以每次你們來這裡,我會用推的、用踢的、拉你們、磨你們,讓你們進步,等到你們回家以後就知道不一樣。就算我責備你們,也不要看輕自己,那只是訓練的過程而已。你們還是徒弟, 所以犯錯是可以容許的,要不然你們就變成師父了。
