2006.10.01與大我合一，可消除我執－從愛心出發

清海無上師以英文講於西班牙馬拉加國際禪四 2006.10.01

問：師父，昨天早上您告訴我們為何要多謙卑並去除我執，這些我都了解了。您是否能再指引一些訣竅，好讓我們可以確實做到。比如說我們在世上工作，所處的情況一直讓我們的我執冒出來，那該如何克制呢？

答：其實也不必太勉強自己。這和內在了悟有關，我們必須領悟到大家同一體，領悟到我們前世或許曾冒犯別人，而他也是我們同一體這個大我的一部分，因此，如果大我的這一部分想要修正回來也好，這都是我們自己。

比方說昨天你撞到石頭流血了，你簡單處理了一下，但還不徹底，然後就睡覺了，完全忘了這回事。第二天早上醒來，你看到傷口仍然瘀青腫脹，又再度流血，就用另一隻手綁上一些繃帶，這時就會感到疼痛。有時消毒劑也會讓你感到刺痛，它會刺激皮膚和傷口，不過會有幫助，最終會使你的傷口痊癒。在這種情況下，你會因為左手使用令人刺痛的消毒劑去處理右手的傷口，而責怪左手嗎？不會！你會因為雙眼審視全身並告訴左手去處理傷口，而怪罪雙眼嗎？不會！雙眼代表你生生世世無所不見的明鑒，而那隻手就是因果律，它透過不同的人來指出過去的錯誤，並加以改正，現在你明白了嗎？（同修：明白了，謝謝您。）

好，那就不要抱怨，時時都要和善待人，並儘量接受情況。如果可以的話，在當下或稍後用圓融正面的方式盡力去改善情況，要不然就接受它。

問：就是要戰勝頭腦，是嗎？

答：是。雖然很難做到，不過至少當你再度遭遇那種情況時，你會想起繃帶這個比喻。我舉具體的例子，你們會更容易記得，而宇宙中到處都是這種例子。另外，即使否定的力量透過那個人來攻擊你，也無法傷害你，只會讓你提昇，只會讓你變得更偉大，就像肥料讓玫瑰更嬌豔欲滴，像農夫挖土、除草、修剪，只會讓花朵更美麗耀眼。

Ego Can Be Dissolved through Oneness with the Greater Self

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Malaga, Spain,
October 1, 2006, (Originally in English)

Q: Master, yesterday morning you were telling us how we have to become more humble and get rid of our ego, and I understood all that. But I wondered if You had some tips about how we actually do that. If you’re working in the world, and you are in a situation where the ego is always coming to the front, how do we actually go about suppressing it?

M: Actually, you don’t have to try too hard. It also comes with the inner realization that we all are one; and that in some way in the past lives, we might have offended someone, which is a part of our one-togetherness Self. So, if that particular part of our togetherness Self wants to correct it, it’s alright. It’s all our Self.

Suppose yesterday you banged yourself into some stone and you’re bleeding somewhere. So you fix it a little bit, but it’s not complete. And then you go to sleep and you forget all about it. But the next morning you wake up and your eyes see the still-bruised and bleeding areas again, so the other hand puts some bandages on it and it hurts. Sometimes the antiseptic stings; it hurts your skin and hurts your wound, but it helps, and in the long run, it heals your wound. Would you blame the left hand for treating the right hand with the stinging, hurting antiseptic? No! Would you blame the eyes that see the whole body and tell the hand to help? No! The eyes are the all-seeing of your many lifetimes. The hand is the law of karma that works through different people to address the wrong of the past and make it better. Now you understand, yes? (Q: Yes, thank You.)

All right, no complaints. Just always be polite and try to accept the situation, or try to make it better later on or immediately in some diplomatic or good way if you can. If not, just accept it.

Q: Just overcome the mind, yes?

M: Yes. It’s very difficult, but at least if you get into that situation again, you’ll remember the bandage. It’s easier to remember when I give a concrete example. And it’s all in the universe. Also, even if the negative power attacks you through that person, it will not harm you in any way. It will only boost you up. It only makes you greater. It’s like the fertilizer that glorifies the roses, like the digging of the farmer and the weeding and the trimming only glorify the flowers.
