觉悟之旅 三

摘要：一切当下都能觉悟，这太美好了！

这个时代步伐太快了，世界变化得快，环境变化得快，人跟不上了怎么办呢？就完全变得被动，人的心里就会产生怨。怨，实际是完全被动产生的一个业力，这个业力的一个厚重积累。我们习气中的这个东西是很重的。

你看现在这个时代：说穷人怨吧，有钱的人，也怨！你说有钱安稳吧，实际反过来了。富有的、贫穷的，得势的、不得势的、有权力的人，亲人之间，怨！朋友之间，怨！父女、母女、夫妻……这个东西似乎像个幽灵一样，伴随着这个时代。为啥呢？被动的东西多！

我们可以去把自己思想的东西，观察观察，可以选择主动起来。主动作为没有啥可怨的——自己作为，自己选择，自己承担，主动就会令人明亮、自由、自在！主动作为的人没有怨恨。

被动接受的东西无法及时消化，甚至会引起我们身体的不适，例如胃痛。“哎呀，胃不好了”——一定是被动接受的东西太多了。因为是被动接受嘛，认为这个不舒服是别人给你的，身体就不愿意去消化它，胃病就出来了。

所以当我们认为是别人给了自己不舒服时，怨就会变成推脱。承担不了了，我们就会推脱责任嘛，拐着弯表达情绪，掩盖自心，就是不愿意直接面对。这样问题就发酵了，事情被放大了。

所以我们真正要选择觉悟，像这个幽怨的习惯也可以觉悟它。一切当下都能觉悟，这太美好了！让我们把当下的一切和觉悟划等号，哪怕是一件很糟糕的事情——当我们用心去体会、去观察、觉悟它实际是心作心是，是如幻不可得的时候，我们一定能够感受到自心从固执到自由解脱，这个转变过程的广大与美好。

The Journey of Enlightenment – part 3

The pace of our era is too fast, so are the change of the world and our environment. As a result, we cannot keep up with the changes. Then what will happen to us? We will become passive and therefore will complain. The passiveness and its thick and heavy accumulation accounts for the complaint that is very obstinate in our habits.

In this era, as you can see, not only the poor people, but also the rich ones complain. The rich ones are supposed to enjoy a peaceful life, but actually, it’s quite the opposite, their lives my be even worse than those of the poor ones. All of us complain, whether rich or poor, and privileged or unprivileged. And complaint, like a specter haunting this era, appears among relatives, among friends, and even between parents and children, and between the wife and the husband. Why? There is too much passiveness!

So we can observe our mind and choose initiative, for we will not complain for our initiative — we ourselves choose what to do, take actions and thus bear the consequences. So when we take the initiative to do something, we will become sunny, free, and without complaint.

If we have to accept things passively, it’s hard to digest in time, which sometimes may even cause physical discomfort, let’s say stomachache. “Oh my, I have an upset stomach.” —you must have to passively accept too much things. Just because of the passive acceptance, we may think such discomfort is imposed upon us by others, so we are reluctant to digest, which can trigger stomach problems.

If we do think our discomfort is imposed upon by others, our resentment can change into passing buck to others. We are used to shirking their responsibilities when they cannot bear it. They normally do not express their emotions directly and try to hide their true thoughts, unwilling to facing up to it directly. This will actually cause the problem to ferment and get worse.

So it’s very good for us to truly choose to be enlightened, even in our habitual complaint. How wonderful it will be if we can become enlightened in everything at every current moment? So let’s keep enlightened in all the current things. Even for a very bad thing, we can use our true heart to recognize and observe it, and to know it is a mirror of our heart, and is illusory and unobtainable by nature. We will be able to feel the vast and beautiful changes of our heart from stubborn to freedom.
