世界不是对立的 (一)

摘要:这个世界不是对立的世界,之所以有相互的伤害、斗争,就是自己的心对立了。

强化自我,弱化周边,是我们这个时代存在的普遍的现象。总是认为自己是正确的,在强化自我的时候,很容易带来情绪、对立、斗争、相互的减损。

平时我们不善于观察自心,当我们减损别人时,表面上减损的是周边的环境、他人、社会,实际上减损的是自己。因为你生存的环境被破坏掉了,就像你脚下的土都挖空了,你还站在什么地方呢?当你去支持别人时,你得到的一定是支持,这是一定的!因为这个世界不是对立的世界,之所以有相互的伤害、斗争,就是自己的心对立了。

你周边的亲人、朋友、环境全是自心的投射。观察他人是非好坏,就会烦恼;冷静下来,观察自心,就会如实。周边的环境就会随着自心的选择而发生改变,而不是随着环境的变化而迷失了自心。

The World Is not Dualistic (Part 1)

In this age and time, it is not uncommon for us to strengthen our ego and weaken our surroundings. By assuming that we are always right, we strengthen our ego thus inflict emotions, conflicts, fights and mutual sufferings.
We aren’t particularly good at observing our minds. Thus we are indeed hurting ourselves when we seem to make damage to people andsociety around, for in that way we are ruining our own environment. Think about it: where shall we stand, once the ground under our feet is gone. On the contrary, when we support other people, we will definitely get support in return. And that is so true because our world is not dualistic. All the sufferings and conflicts in our world result from our dualistic mind.

People and our surroundings are mere reflections of our own mind. Thus if we focus on judging others, annoyance will arise. But if we shift our attention to observing our mind, we will gain insight into what things really are. Thus we won’t lose control of our mind when surroundings change, but instead, surroundings will be changed along with our inner decision.
