Is it possible to totally bring about a mutation in 'what is'? And to go into that, to go into this question of bringing about a total revolution in 'what is', one must have an extraordinary sense of awareness. You know, to be aware, what it means: to be aware of this trees, of the blue sky...
能在当下引发一场彻底的突变吗? 要进入那里, 进入关于当下彻底突变的问题, 一个人必需具备非凡的觉察力. 什么是觉察? 你知晓的。 觉察这些树、树后面的蓝天...
Look at a flower. Have you ever look at a flower? Or have you looked at it, given it a name, passed it by. Or you say, 'How beautiful. Let me smell it.' All these are distractive actions which prevent you from looking at that flower.
看一朵花. 你看过花吧? 你可曾见到他, 念了他的名字就离开? 你可曾赞叹道: "好美啊! 让我闻闻他"? 这些都是分心的行为, 阻碍着你看花.
What we are trying, in all these discussions and talks here, is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind - not accept things as they are, nor revolt against them - revolt doesn't answer a thing. - but to understand it, to go into it, to examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently.
我们在尝试, 在这些所有的讨论和讲话中, 看看我们能否引发一场头脑的转变 - 不是去接受现状, 也不是反抗他们 - 反抗是毫无用处的. - 而是去理解, 深入其中, 检视它, 用你的心灵和头脑, 用你的所拥有的一切, 去找出一种不同的生活方式.
I should think, one of our greatest problems in life, must be, surely, knowing that our minds deteriorate, decline as one grows older, or deteriorate even when one is quite young - being a specialist along a certain line, and being unaware totally of the whole complex area of life. It must be a great problem, to find out whether it is at all possible to stop this deterioration, so that mind is always fresh, young, clear, decisive. And is it at all possible to end this decline? This evening, if I may, I would like to go into that, because to me, meditation is freeing the mind from the known.
在我们的生命中, 有一个巨大的问题: 我们的头脑正在下滑, 当一个人变老的时候, 甚至在年轻的时候 - 就成一位工业流水线上的专家, 完全忽视了生命中繁茂的整体. 这是个巨大的问题, 能停止这种下滑, 让头脑总是保持崭新, 青春, 纯洁, 清晰吗? 能终结这种下滑吗? 我将进去调查这个问题, 因为对于我来说, 冥想就是让头脑从已知中解脱.
To ask questions is not to find an answer, but to discover.
问问题, 不是为了寻答案, 而是去发现.
Ping So you think that we ought not to, we must find the solutions to the problems in ourselves? Pong Obviously, because you are the man who is going to suffer, you are the man who is giong to - exactly - you are the person who is going to have all the problems of life.
问 你认为我们必需从我们自身上寻找问题的解决办法吗? 答 当然, 因为是你在遭罪, 准确地说, 你正遭受着生命中的所有问题.
The desire to achieve is essentially based on comfort, pleasure, satisfaction, gratification. And what we are going to deal with this morning, does not need any kind of effort at all, because effort exists only when there is contradiction, contradiction within.
获取的欲望是基于舒服, 享受, 满足, 快感. 而我们要做的, 不需要一丁点儿的努力, 因为努力之所以存在, 是因为有冲突, 内在的矛盾.
And most of us, I presume, have come here this morning, or go to church, or anything, because our life is so monotonous, so lonely, so utterly meaningless. And we want to find something that will be deeply gratifying, deeply that will bring about deep content. So, why are we discontented, and with what? Please answer the question to yourselves.
我猜, 大多数人来到这儿, 或者去教堂, 去任何地方, 都是由于我们的生命太单调, 太寂寞, 太没意思了. 于是就想找点儿能带来快感, 能让人满足的东西. 那么, 我为何不满, 不满于什么? 请拿这个问题问你自己.
