窗內和窗外 ...


有這樣的心境,就把它比喻為窗內和窗外吧。



在窗外,是活在現象界的世界里,經歷的是日常生活的起心動念,那是自我的世界,它是主角,它習氣地自我保護,都被“我”,“我的”,“我要”,“我能”,忙的團團轉,是活在二元對立的世界, 往兩邊抓,有得必有失, 有樂必有苦 ...

也許,是一般人活在這世上的心態吧。他們的人生就圍繞,執著這些念頭,欲望,有時快樂,也有悲傷。這裡也是修行者練功夫的地方,很多禪師, 宗教師都指示學生,要有正念,要勤勞看這身心的變化,要淨化這顆心,就是在“窗外”下功夫。


多年後, 生活品質並沒多少改變, 反而覺得苦海還是看不到邊。


只要還是往外看,而忘了反觀,就往往忽略了,還有一個窗內的世界。人們不知道,他們練功夫,修行的平台,架構,就是建立在窗內那平靜,廣闊,有明,有覚,柔和的大世界里。當身和心,柔軟,而有專注力的內觀時,當下的逆或順境,或任何感受,都會穿流而過。

因為這時的心境是柔和,平衡,平靜的。因此,這裡的世界能涵蓋一切,超越二元對立。能像廣大無邊的天空那樣,包涵了山河大地,暴雨,打雷,白天,黑夜。

不論起颱風,下暴雨,山崩,地震,雷電交加,天空還是那樣平靜的存在,不損一毫。在窗內看世界,充滿慈悲,平靜,就像看着天上的浮雲,被風一陣陣的漂走,它解脫自在,沒有牽掛。不論是烏雲,白雲,都以慈悲心看待,沒有善惡,好壞,一切以平等心,如實待之。

這時候,有一种回到家,那种扎實的感覺 ... 原來家就在這裡!

I am coming Home.
On this special day, may I wish all beings be well and happy ...
With Joy ... may you be liberated and free from suffering ...

Photo taken at Casale Town, Italy. 


Country side of Casale, located a famous historical site, where 10 small chapels, with European architectural built, fine art of Roman paintings on wall of each chapel, depicted the history of Christianity. There is a distance from chapel to chapel of about 50-100 m of walking path, from foot hill to the top, the last chapel, of 10th, about 40 minutes to reach. While walking, enjoy the far view of Alp of Switzerland, on the borderline of Italy. Breathtaking scenery!
