觉悟之旅 一

摘要：不管是什么缘，不可否认，我们都可以去觉悟它。任何一个事情都挡不住我们去觉悟它！

我们的生命不断地被推动着，或者是增上的、善意的动力；或者是减损的、恶意的动力。面对逆缘，人们往往会厌恶、排斥；顺缘，人们会喜悦、迎接。不论顺逆，它们都只是一个缘。

不管是什么缘，不可否认，我们都可以去觉悟它。

这样我们就有一个明确的心、明确的心愿——觉悟人生！这个心愿可以开启我们觉悟每一个事情的机会，它是一个很积极的开始。当然平时我们可能还会在徘徊、迷失这两个状态中，这是我们生活的习惯状态，也是不明确的心理状态。没有明确自己人生的价值，就会有被动的习惯；那觉悟呢，是明确、主动、积极的。

任何一个事情都挡不住我们去觉悟它！这个愿望是很有力量的——要觉悟这个事情，就去审视这个事情的现象与本质。通过一个现象，去认知它的本质，我们就去在本质上用功夫，主动起来。哪怕有被动习惯，也没有问题，但我们知道了这是不明确的、被动的。

“这是真实发生了啊”，尤其在说一些恶性事件的时候，“这是真事啊”，这就是固化、固执，落在实有上了，那就会产生烦恼——迷失、固执于事相的烦恼；觉悟呢，就是从万事万物的本质上去看问题，看到其不可得的如幻本质，获得智慧与解脱、心灵的自由等等。所以我们对于一个事情反应的不同选项，会产生相应的作用力的推动。

同样都是个缘，我们是觉、是迷，实际就是个自心选择的问题了。

The Journey to Enlightenment – part 1

Our life is continuously pushed forward by different forces from beneficial and kind ones to harmful and vicious ones. In the face of adversity, people usually feel reluctant and try to repel them. While in the face of desirable ones, people may feel joyful and they are welcome. But basically, regardless adverse or desirable, they are just matters.

No matter what kind of matter it is, there is no denying that we can always be enlightened from it.

In this way, we will have a clear aspiration – to find the truth in everything in our life. Such an aspiration can open a door for us to be awakened from every single matter possible. It is an active start.Of course we will still tangle or feel lost due to an unclear state of mind or habits of being passive, a sign that the value of our life is yet to be clear. While an enlightened mind is determined, active and positive.

Nothing can stop us from enlightening in it. It is such a powerful aspiration that we can be awakened from every matter by observing its phenomena and its essence. If we can see through the phenomenon and recognize the essence, we can then put efforts on the essence and thus become proactive. Even though we are still accustomed to being passive sometimes, it would be OK if we realize that those thoughts and deeds are unclear and passive.

‘It did happen!’ we often said.When we talk about unpleasant experiences, we might think “what has happened is real!”. This is actually a solidified or stubborn idea which focuses on the phenomenon, believing the matter to be real. Thus we become afflicted as we firmly attach to it. Whereas, if we choose to be enlightened, we can see things from their essence and understand every phenomenon is illusory by nature, thus we can get on the path to wisdom and set ourselves free. So different choices that we make to deal with a single matter will create corresponding impacts and forces.

Facing the same matter, to be enlightened or to get lost is a matter of our inner-choice.
