业无所属——不怕别人说是非

摘要:人人都会说别人,别人也会议论我们。既然人人都有,而不是某个人的问题。不必要把整个社会共业问题聚焦在自己身上,我们的内心反而会宽松起来。

很多人不喜欢被人说,越排斥越会被人说。我们哪个人不被人说呢?不让别人说,简直是不可能的事。你堵住一个人的嘴,堵得住一个人的心吗?又能堵住十个人的嘴巴吗?谁都制止不了说闲话、说是非。

我们要活在说别人或被别人说的业相中,实际就是与这业相纠缠了,把这个业相着实了。它是一个执著的对抗,无中生有的一个烦恼执著,越执著越会对抗。就像空谷回音一样,因果同时,如影随形。这个执著,会给我们带来很多的苦处,这个苦处大家可能都曾体会过。

为了解决这个问题,我们可以反观“人人都会说别人,别人也会议论我们”这件事。既然人人都有,而不是某个人的问题,把它展开来看实际是个社会现象问题,不是哪一个人专有的。不必要把整个社会共业问题聚焦在自己身上,我们的内心反而会宽松起来,坦荡大方起来,没什么可担心害怕的。个人与他人问题通过对共业的认识就会很容易走岀来。

智慧者称这个方法为“业无所属”,实际是一种稀释法。就是不把个人与他人的问题焦点化,而是通过这个业无所属先让我们的心宽松起来,再去面对解决同一个问题,就会轻松简单很多。再回头看这些张三说、李四说,就是被业流转的游戏、对抗的游戏、无明业习的游戏,真的可以一笑而过。

No need to worry about gossips – for karma belongs to nobody

No one likes to be the object of gossips. However, the more we resent those gossips, the more people gossip about us. It is impossible to stop that. Although we may temporarily prevent people from gossiping, we can never prevent their desire for it. Also, we may be able to silence one gossip but we can never silence them all. We simply cannot stop them.

If we get used to living in a world of gossiping or being gossiped, it means that we entangle with these phenomena and take them as real. We get attached to them and struggle against them. The more we care about the gossips, the more we attempt to stop them, very much like the echo of our voice in a valley. The cause and effect are simultaneously born, just like our shadow always follows us. As we have experienced many times, such attachments will bring us nothing but sufferings.

Let us observe and analyse this phenomenon. Now that we all like to gossip, we can say that it is not the problem of any individual, but the problem of the society as a whole. It is a problem common to everyone, which does not really belong to anybody specifically. Thanks to such a recognition, we can feel more relieved or at ease, since there is nothing personal to worry about. As a result, we can easily solve our own problem or issues between ourselves and others.

“Karma belongs to nobody” is a method of dilution given by the wise ones. Instead of wholly focusing on the problem, we can use this method to free our minds from worries first. Then we may feel easy and simple in dealing with such a problem. With this method, when we look back at all the gossips intended to us, we may just laugh them off, because they are just games played by our karmic activities, like game of chasing-after-phenomena, game of confrontation or game of habits from ignorance.
