清海無上師以英文講於美國洛杉磯國際禪三

問：傳統佛教包括了「四無量心」的修行，也就是修行慈、悲、喜、捨。這是不是可以和我們的修行方法一起並行？用這種方式來散發愛力？
答： 如果那樣做會讓你覺得舒服，你可以先那麼做，然後再依照我們的修行法門打坐。

問：我們在街上行走或是和別人見面時，也可以這麼做嗎？
答：我真的建議你默念五佛號就好，沒必要用意念去散發愛力什麼的，因為那沒有什麼用。你在默念五佛號時，自然就會散發出最高等的愛力了。

問：說實在的，我到現在還是沒辦法真正領會五佛號。
答：那就慢慢來，但你默念五佛號是一種最高的祈禱。比如你在這幾天打禪的期間或是在錄影帶裡面所聽到的一些神奇感應，以及大家所看到的境界，還有你從別人身上或是從我身上所感受到的愛力，這些都不是因為我坐在這裡觀想自己散發慈、悲、喜、捨到四面八方

而發生的。我只是如如不動，讓上帝去運轉整個宇宙，由祂來散發慈悲愛力，我並沒有做任何事。

所以如果你想達到這樣的境界，其實是不必特別去做些什麼。你只要不斷地默念五佛號、打坐，其他事就會自然運轉。長久以來，我們已經試過了太多方法，但一點用處也沒有。現在不妨改變一下，不特別去做什麼，自然我們的世界就會和平。♥

Just Let God 
Run the Universe

Q: The Buddhist tradition includes practice of the Four Viharas; namely, love, compassion, joy and peace. Is it OK for us to do that along with our practice as a way of sending love?

M: If it makes you feel good you can do that in the beginning, but then do our practice.

Q: Like while walking down the street or seeing people?

M:  I really would advise you just to repeat the Holy Names. Don't use your mind to send love or things like that because it will not help anything. When you repeat the Holy Names, that's the highest love you can send and it is automatic!

Q: In all honesty, I haven't really made a connection with the Holy Names yet.

M: Then take your time, but it is the highest prayer you can give. For example, all these miracles that happen, all the visions that you hear about at retreats or on tapes and the love you feel from people or you feel from me are not because I sit there and imagine that I'm doing the Four Compassions, sending things in all directions. I’m simply being. I let God run the universe and let Hirm send the compassion. I don't do anything.

So if you want to reach that, you also don't need to do anything. You just need to repeat the Holy Names, meditate and everything else will come along. We have already tried to do too many things for centuries and nothing has happened so just do nothing for a change and the world will be peaceful. ♥
