好和

如果你覺得「合一的教導」聽來有點難，那是因為你對教導有誤解；

如果你以為你需要下一點功夫的話，那同時也是代表你對教導有誤解。

而「無需用功」，並不是表示「無需理會」；

不要把這個「無需用功」跟「無需理會」視作等同。 

What you need to understand is that If it sounds complex,

there is some misunderstanding about the teaching.

And then if you understand that you have to put in some effort,

then again, you have misunderstood the teaching.

By saying no effort, we do not mean indifference at all.

This should not be mistaken for indifference.  

基本上，我們可以把整個合一的教導一言以蔽之，那就是覺知。

許多時候，我們會收到一些問題，

例如：「我知道我有我的醜陋、我有嫉妒、我沒有愛、我有憤怒、

我有暴力、我有嘗試去經驗受苦，只是現在卻沒有發生。

那我甚麼時候會改變？我發覺我很無助。」

Let us see what is it we are saying.

Basically we could put the entire oneness teaching into one word,

That is AWARENESS. So, very often we are getting questions like saying,

「Look I know I have ugliness, I have jealousy, I have no love,

I have anger, I have violence and I am trying to experience suffering

and now it’s not happening and when is it I’m going to change

and I find that I am helpless.」

這就是我們收到的問題。在合一中，最需要我們明白的是，

你思想中的內容根本完全不重要。

那內容可以是任何東西；那可以是暴力、非暴力、嫉妒、

忐忑不安、恐懼…等等。

所有那些一系列的思想、感覺、情緒，我們並不是對它們太感興趣。

因為我們並不是要嘗試去改變；

我們根本就沒有能力圖改變，因為我們都不能改變。

我們都不能改變，因為這些就是人類頭腦的特質，

那是古老的、而且只有一個頭腦。

So we get these kind of questions.

What is most important to understand in oneness is

the content of your mind is NOT AT ALL important.

It could be anything. It could be violence, non-violence, anger, hatred,

jealousy frustration, fear, what not.

All that whole range of thoughts, feelings and emotions.

We’re just not concerned about them.

Because we are not trying to change at all.

There is no effort to change because we cannot change.

We cannot change because these are the properties of the human mind

which is very ancient and there is only one mind.

那我們在嘗試做甚麼呢？我們說的是甚麼的改變呢？

一方面，我們說沒有改變，一方面又說好像真是有一些改變，

其實我們所講的全部就是說：「請你變得強烈覺知當下發生甚麼事」。

除此之外，你不能做些甚麼。所以我們說那是一種無需用功的努力。

What is it were trying to do? What is this change we’re talking about?

On the one hand, we say no change and on the other hand,

we still do seem to talk about some sort of change.

All that we are talking about is

please become intensely aware of what is going on.

That’s all.

There is nothing else you could do.

There is nothing else you should do.

That is why we’re talking about it as effortless effort.   

唯一你要用功的地方是，慢慢一點一點地，變得注意當下在發生甚麼事。

「好，就等我變得覺知」。這就是一切了。

The only effort is slightly becoming aware of what is going on and then saying.

「Okay. Let me become aware.」 That’s all.

然後，當你嘗試變得份外覺知的時候，你會發現那幾乎是不可能的事。

剛開始的時候就是那麼困難。那時也就是你會把毛巾也丟掉的時候，

並且說：「我的天呀！那是不可能的！」。

所以我們說，這就是時候，你最好還是投降吧！

這種投降並不是一種完全不聞不問的投降。

反而，那正就是你知道你根本沒有甚麼可以做，而甚麼也沒有發生。

經歷這以後，你就會透過祝福邀請神明來到你那裡。

然後祝福就會帶你到你要去的地方。那你會到那裡去呢？

你甚麼地方也不會去，因為根本從來就沒有地方你需要去。

你只有變得愈來愈覺察當下發生的事情。

Then, as you try to become aware, you will realize it's next to impossible.

It’s that difficult to start with.

That’s when you throw in the towel and say 「Oh my God it is not possible.」

That is the time, we say, you better surrender.

This surrender is not some kind of slavish surrender.

It’s just the realization that you cannot do anything and nothing is happening.

It’s then that you invoke the divine through a blessing.

Then the blessing will take you where you should go.

And where do you go?

You go nowhere because there is nowhere to go in the first place.

You only become more and more aware of what is going on.

而教導也告訴我們，第一步亦是最後一步。

不過意思並不是說，你走了第一步，你就會去到一個甚麼地方。

你不會到達甚麼地方因為根本就沒有地方可去。

那麼，第一步是甚麼？第一步是注意；最後一步是甚麼，最後一步也是注意。

這裡有的又是甚麼？有的只是注意。

注意就是一切事情的始末。

請明白「覺知」並不會帶你到任何地方去；

它不會把你從嫉妒中釋放、也不會把你從憤怒中釋放；

它不會使你成為聖人，從來也不會。

它只會給你在嫉妒中的自由，給你在憤怒中的自由，在憎恨中的自由。

你會停止跟它們的糾纏，你會停止去改變它們。

開始的時候是注意，中間的時候是注意，最後的時間是注意。

當你注意的時候，你便是完全覺醒，

當你覺醒，你就是活著。而不是只是存在著。

And the teaching says that first step, the last step.

This does not mean that after you have taken the first step,

you are going to go somewhere.

You are not going to go anywhere at all for the simple reason there is nowhere to go.

So what’s the first step? The first step is awareness.

What’s the last step? Awareness. So what is there?

There is only awareness.

Awareness is the be all and end all of all things.

Please understand that awareness is not going to take you anywhere.

It is not going to free you of jealousy.

Understand that awareness is not going to free you from anger.

It’s not going to make you into a saint. No, not at all.

Awareness will only be giving you freedom with jealousy,

Freedom with anger, freedom with hatred.

You will stop tampering with them and you will stop trying to change them.

What is in the beginning is awareness.

What is in the middle is awareness.

What is in the end is awareness.

When you are aware, you are fully awake,

When you are awake, you are living and no more existing. 

現在，你只是在發白日夢，一整天；你只困在思想創造出來的衝突當中，

你在一處想到別一處，那是思想的移動。

你總是在忙於這個、那個，那也是為什麼你不是活著，你只是存在著。

Right now you are in the state of day dreaming.

All the while, you are caught up in this conflict the thought is producing.

You are somewhere and you’re trying to get somewhere.

That is the movement of thought.

You are engaged in this and you are caught up in that.

That is why you do not live, but you are merely existing. 

所以，我再重申一遍，你不會到達什麼地方、

你不能改變任何東西，沒有東西你可以改變。

我們只希望你，煩請你變得份外留神當下發生的事，

那是一部你可以很享受的美麗的電影；

沒有一部電影比這部更好，也沒有一本書比這個更好的書。

只要你沒有覺知當下，你就不能閱讀這書，

覺知就是一切，要覺知也就是說要你有活著。

當你的覺察力加深了，你活著的感覺也會加深。

然後你會去到一點，因為你極為覺知一切，

因而發覺活著是幾乎完完全全地在這裡。

這種活，你可以稱它為神。

在這時候，你就變為神。你與你的活著是完全成為一體。

So I’ll repeat, you are not going anywhere.

You are not going to change anything. There is nothing you can change.

All that we’re expecting from you is please become intensely aware of what is going on.

It’s a beautiful movie that you could enjoy.

There is no better movie than that. And no better book you can read than that.

You cannot read it as long as there is no awareness.

To be aware is all there is. To be aware is to have the presence in you.

As your awareness deepens, the presence deepens.

And there comes a point when you are so intensely aware that the presence is almost completely there.

The presence is what you call God. At that point you become God.

You and the presence are totally one.

You, the awareness and the presence will all completely become one.

That’s when you see for yourself that you are God. We are trying to get there.

所以，由這一刻開始，希望你可以注意當下在發生什麼事，

不要嘗試去做些什麼，你沒有什麼可以做，它就在這裡，這就是真相，

這就是內在的誠信，這就是所謂的真實。

請不要不聞不問，只需要變得特別留意，那就是你可以做的一切了。

這就是合一的教導。

這是最基本的教導，其它的教導都是要支持這最根本的教導~~

覺知是第一步也是最後一步。

經驗它，當你嘗試去經驗，你其實不是真正體驗些什麼。

當你覺知的時候，經驗就會自然發生，你會如實體驗現實。

我們只是嘗試去描述，但你可能會努力去做。

「好吧！我現在就去經驗受苦；好，我一定要如實體驗現實；

好，我就做個好人。但世上沒有所謂一個好一點的人或者是差一點的人。」

So, I hope that from this moment onwards, you will just see what is going on.

Don’t try to do anything to it. There is nothing you can do to it. It's just there.

That is the truth. That is inner integrity. That is being authentic.

Don’t be indifferent to It, please, but be intensely aware of it.

That’s all you have to do. That is the oneness teaching.

That’s the most fundamental teaching.

Other teachings are mainly supportive of it.

Like saying the first step is like the last step. Experience it.

When you try to experience it, there is no experiencing at all.

When you’re aware, experience is automatically taking place.

You are experiencing reality as it is. What we are merely trying to describe,

but then you try to put an effort,

「Okay, I must now experience suffering.

All right, I must experience reality is at is.

All right I’ll be a better human being.」

There is no such thing as a better human being or a lower human being.

從這個覺知，行動就會自然而來。這就是我們所稱的行動。

其它的事你當然也可以叫行動，但我們只會叫它為活動。

這個叫行動的，對於未開悟的人，可能會被稱之為好的行動，

也可能有些人會稱它做糟透的行動、正確的行動又或者是錯誤的行動。

對於開悟的人來說，那只不過是行動而已。

對於他，那就是最完美的行動。這是源自於百分百的覺知。

Out of this awareness action arises spontaneously.

That is what we call action.

Everything else you may call action, but it is merely activity.

This action -- some may call it who are not awakened good action

and some may call it bad action, right action or wrong action.

For someone who is awakened, it is just action.

For him, it is perfect action. This arises from complete awareness.
