3. TheI’s of Wisdom - Part 1
3.我的智慧-第一部分

welcome to the next episode of mindfulness for everyday life. The topic for this episode is seen with eyes of wisdom. Now this is a play on words we see using our eyes,but the eyes of wisdom and mindfulness traditions. R the letter, I, the eye of interdependence and the eye of impermanence. So the first of these two is impermanence, and I want to share a quick thought here, you know, as we go through the workshop about mindfulness for everyday life, the secret to mindful living to living mindfully is to remove all the ideas, all the concepts.
歡迎收看下一集《正念的日常生活》。這一集的主題是以智慧的眼光看待的。現在這是一個用我們的眼睛看到的文字的遊戲，但是用智慧和正念傳統的眼睛。我的眼睛和無常的眼睛，無常。所以這兩個問題中的第一個是無常，我想在這里分享一個快速的想法，你知道，當我們通過關於日常生活的正念的研討會時，用心生活到正念生活的秘訣就是去除所有的想法，所有的概念。

Uh, in order forus to have the ability to see with the eyes of wisdom, where we can start tosee things the way they really are. So I'll go through this a little bit morewith each of these two eyes of wisdom, starting with impermanence. So theconcept or the idea that I want to share here comes from a story, and this isan old Sufi story of a King who was really dealing with.
呃，為了讓我們有能力用智慧的眼光看問題，我們可以開始以真實的方式看待事物。所以我會用這兩個智慧的眼睛，從無常開始，再多講一點。所以我想在這里分享的概念或想法來自一個故事，這是一個古老的蘇菲派故事，講述的是一個真正與之打交道的國王。

Uh, theunpleasantness of difficult things in life. And he assembled all the wisepeople that he could and ask them to come up with an expression or a sane thatwould help him to feel more at ease about the discomforts and the difficultthings he was experiencing in life. And the wise people came up with variousthings, couldn't figure out what would work.
呃，生活中困難事情的不愉快。他召集了所有有智慧的人，讓他們想出一個表達或理智的方法，幫助他對生活中遇到的不適和困難感到更自在。聰明的人想出了各種各樣的辦法，卻不知道什麼是可行的。

And then they finally came up with anexpression. And the King wanted something that would always be true so thatanytime he could think about it, he would know that this statement was alwaystrue. So they came up with the statement, the expression, this too shall pass.They engraved it on a ring and presented it to the King.
最后他們想出了一個表達方式。國王想要一個永遠是真實的東西，這樣每當他想起來，他就會知道這句話永遠是真的。所以他們提出了一個聲明，這個短語，這個也會過去的。他們把它刻在戒指上，送給國王。

And this turnedout to be quite the blessing because every time the King would experiencesadness or discomfort, He would remember this too shall pass, but it alsobecame his curse because in his moments of experiencing pleasantness, he wouldalso see the message and recognize that those things would also surely come toan end.
這也算是一件幸事，因為每當國王經歷悲傷或不適時，他都會記得這件事也會過去，但這也成了他的詛咒，因為在他體驗快樂的時刻，他也會看到這個信息，並意識到這些事情也一定會結束。

And this message becameboth a blessing and a curse to him. So the concept
這信息對他既是福又是禍。所以這個概念

of this tooshall pass. It was a really helpful one, especially during difficult times,because it's a reminder that the nature of reality is impermanence. That is tosay, things are always changing. Now we can observe this in nature, whether itbe the expansion of the universe or any aspect of nature that we can observe.
這一切也會過去的。這是一個非常有幫助的，特别是在困難時期，因為它提醒我們現實的本質是無常的。也就是說，事情總是在變化。現在我們可以在自然界中觀察到這一點，不管是宇宙的膨脹還是我們能觀察到的自然的任何方面。

The seasons arealways changing. Life brings death, which brings life, which brings death. Andthat's a cycle that goes on and on. You can see a tree, for example, drops itsseeds and the seeds turn into other trees. And that tree will develop seeds andit will drop those. And that's the cycle of life is constant
季節總是在變化。生必有死，有生必有死。這是一個持續不斷的循環。例如，你可以看到一棵樹掉下種子，種子變成了其他樹。那棵樹會長出種子，然后會掉下來。生命的循環是恒定的

change.
改變。

We observe itand everything. And we can observe it in our own day to day experience this tooshall pass as a reminder that each moment to moment experience that we'rehaving is unique. Now, for me, the beauty of a moment is not measured by thepleasantness of that moment or the unpleasantness of that moment.
我們觀察它和一切。我們可以在我們自己的日常經驗中觀察到這一點，這也將成為一個提醒，我們所擁有的每一個時刻的經驗都是獨一無二的。現在，對我來說，一個時刻的美麗不是用那一刻的愉快或那一刻的不愉快來衡量的。

It's measured bythe uniqueness of that moment. For me, it's really helpful to remember at themoment I'm experiencing no matter how pleasant or unpleasant is a unique momentin space and time. It's a moment that has never been an a moment that willnever be again and yet here I am experiencing it. And this one unique space andtime that is the present
它是由那一刻的獨特性來衡量的。對我來說，記住我所經歷的時刻是很有幫助的，不管這是一個時空中獨特的時刻是多麼令人愉快或不愉快。這是一個永遠不會再出現的時刻，而我在這里正經歷著它。而這唯一的時空就是現在

moment.
瞬間。

So the otherconcept that's helpful for here for this topic of impermanence. Again, asclouds in the sky, when I observed the clouds in the sky, you look at
這個無常的概念對這個話題很有幫助。又如天上的雲，當我觀察天空中的雲時，你看

a cloud and youthink it's the static thing, but it's not. If you look at it, it's continuallygrowing or continually moving or continually shrinking, and that's the natureof cloud.
雲，你認為它是靜態的東西，但它不是。如果你看看它，它在不斷增長，或者不斷移動，或者不斷縮小，這就是雲的本質。

So you can lookat it. And in one specific moment in time, it looks like this. And then in thenext moment in time, it's changed and it no longer looks like this. Now itlooks like that. And so it is with all things in life. And for me, it's reallyhelpful to keep this expression in mind that life like clouds that are everchanging the expression I use to remind me of this is right now, it's likethis.
所以你可以看看。在一個特定的時刻，它看起來像這樣。然后在下一個時刻，它改變了，不再像現在這樣。現在看起來像這樣。生活中的一切都是如此。對我來說，記住這句話真的很有幫助，就像生活中的雲一樣，不斷改變著我用來提醒我這句話的表達方式，現在就是這樣。

And then I cantake a look around and I can make an assessment. And I noticed this in my ownpersonal life. Right now I am a father of three young kids and I'm living thelife of a father of three young kids. And it's just right now, it's like thisin the future. They won't be young. I'll be the father of teenagers.
然后我可以四處看看，做個評估。我在個人生活中也注意到了這一點。現在我是三個孩子的父親，我過著三個孩子的父親的生活。只是現在，將來會是這樣。他們不會年輕的。我會成為青少年的父親。

And then one dayI'll be the father of grownups. One day I'll be the grandfather, uh, of, uh, ofmy grandchildren or so on. Or I am the single person who doesn't have kids, orI am a married person, or I am a single person or whatever it is. Whateverexperience, whatever way you are experienced in life. Right now in this moment,you can pause and you can say right now it's like this and take an inventory ofhow things are and notice with time, things will change because that's thenature of reality.
總有一天我會成為大人的父親。總有一天我會成為我孫子孫女的祖父。或者我是一個没有孩子的單身漢，或者我是一個已婚的人，或者我是一個單身的人或者其他什麼。無論經歷什麼，無論你在生活中經歷了什麼。現在，在這一刻，你可以停下來，你可以說，現在是這樣的，盤點一下事情是怎樣的，隨著時間的推移，事情會改變的，因為這是現實的本質。

Life isconstantly changing. Uh, you yourself are constantly changing. And I like AlanWatts suggestion, his quote, where he says you're under no obligation to be thesame person. You were five minutes ago. And that's because we're alwayschanging. New information gets introduced. And now I'm slightly differentbecause I read a book or because I listened to a workshop or because I gotmarried or because I got divorced or whatever it is, we're always changing.
生活是不斷變化的。呃，你自己也在不斷變化。我喜歡艾倫·瓦茨的建議，他的話，他說你没有義務成為同一個人。你五分鐘前還在。因為我們總是在變化。引入新信息。現在我有點不同了，因為我讀了一本書，聽了一個研討會，或者我結婚了，或者離婚了，或者不管是什麼，我們總是在改變。

We're alwaysexperienced in life. In a new way. So that in a nutshell is the first I haveseen with eyes of wisdom. That's the eye of impermanence. The next eye is theeye of interdependence. Now the idea of interdependence is that. Everything isconnected to other things. For example, everything has causes and conditions.
我們在生活中總是有經驗的。以一種新的方式。我第一眼看到的就是智慧。那是無常之眼。下一只眼睛是相互依賴的眼睛。現在相互依賴的概念是這樣的。一切都與其他事物有關。例如，任何事情都有原因和條件。

So whatever athing is, whether this be a physical object or a moment in time or circumstancesthat we find ourselves in these things have causes and conditions. And this isa really important thing to understand. Because it implies that this is becausethat is, and if I want to change whatever this is, if it's something that'schangeable, I have to understand the thing that makes
所以無論一個事物是什麼，不管它是一個物理物體，還是一個時間或環境中的某個時刻，我們在這些事物中發現自己都有原因和條件。這是一件非常重要的事情。因為這意味著，這是因為，如果我想改變這一切，如果它是可以改變的，我就必須理解它

this what it is.
就是這樣。

So I want toexplain this in, in terms of something that we can all visualize here. Soimagine a car, everybody who's listening to this as probably written in a card.Driven a car or at least seen a car and a car. In, in a very real way issomething that doesn't actually exist in and of itself without the things thatmake the car exist.
所以我想用一些我們都能想象到的東西來解釋。想象一下一輛車，每個人都在聽這個，就像寫在卡片上的一樣。開一輛車或者至少看到一輛車和一輛車。在，在一個非常真實的方式是一些東西，它本身並不存在，如果没有使汽車存在的東西。

So what thatmeans is if I were to take a car and go out into the parking lot anddisassemble the car into all of its parts, and then you walked out and you sawthe car there and all of its parts. If I were to ask you, go bring me the car.
所以這意味著如果我開一輛車到停車場，把車拆成所有的部件，然后你走出去，你看到了那輛車和它的所有部件。如果我問你，去把車給我拿來。

There's not a single itemthat you could pick up and bring it to me.
没有一件東西你可以拿起來給我。

That would bethe car because the car has all of those items or at least some of those items.And this is a really interesting thing to notice because if the car isn't anactual thing, It's made up of a bunch of things we'll eat, which of thosethings, uh, would fall under the same, the same dilemma. If I were to take themotor, for example, and now I disassemble the motor into all of its parts, allof its causes and conditions.
那就是車，因為車上有所有這些東西，或者至少有一部分。這是一件很有趣的事情，因為如果汽車不是真的，它是由一堆我們要吃的東西組成的，這些東西，呃，會陷入同樣的困境。如果我以馬達為例，現在我把馬達分解成它所有的部分，所有的原因和條件。

And I say, bringme the motor. You have the same problem. Well, what is the motor it's also madeup of many parts and then I could take any one of those parts and do the samegame. And this goes on and on and on. So everything has causes and conditions.This is the understanding of the nature of interdependence.
我說，把馬達給我。你也有同樣的問題。好吧，什麼是馬達，它也是由許多部分組成的，然后我可以拿其中任何一個零件來做同樣的遊戲。這件事一直持續下去。所以一切都有原因和條件。這就是對相互依存本質的理解。

And this is areally fascinating thing. The reason we call this, the two eyes of wisdom inthe mindfulness traditions is because the, the eyes imply how we perceive. Soif I see the world in a way where I feel like things are not interdependent,That would be unskillful. If I see the world in a way where things do not seemimpermanent, things seem to be permanent.
這是一件非常迷人的事。我們之所以稱之為正念傳統中的智慧之眼，是因為，這雙眼睛暗示了我們如何感知。所以，如果我以一種我覺得事物不相互依賴的方式看待這個世界，那將是不熟練的。如果我以一種方式看待這個世界，事情似乎不是無常的，而是永恒的。

That's alsounskillful. That's why I seen with the two eyes of wisdom is the implicationthat I start to see life in and reality in the lens of it being
這也不熟練。這就是為什麼我用智慧的雙眸看到的含義，就是我開始用它的存在來看待生活和現實

impermanent andit being interdependent. So with an understanding of interdependence, We startto see things for how they really are. In fact, there's a teaching by Zenmaster Tik, not Han who says, if you've ever looked at a flower and all you sawwas the flower, then you've never actually seen the flower.
無常與它相互依存。因此，隨著對相互依存的理解，我們開始看清事物的本質。事實上，有一個禪師提克的教導，不是韓寒說的，如果你看過一朵花，你看到的只是那朵花，那麼你就從來没有真正見過那朵花。

And what he'simplying here with this expression or with this teaching is that to really seethe flower, I have to see all the non flower elements that make up the flower.In other words, I see the sunlight and I see the rain and I see the dirt and Isee the time and I see the bees and I see everything that makes the flowerexist.
他在這里的意思是，要真正看到花，我必須看到構成花的所有非花元素。換句話說，我看到了陽光，我看到了雨水，我看到了泥土，我看到了時間，我看到了蜜蜂，我看到了所有讓花存在的東西。

And when I dothat, what I start to notice is it's all these non flower elements that make upa flower. So to separate the flour from all the non flour elements is to missin a very important way. What actually makes a flower a flower. Now, this isreally profound when we start to see the world through this lens ofinterdependence and he becomes even more profound when we start to seeourselves.
當我這樣做的時候，我開始注意到是所有這些非花元素組成了一朵花。所以把面粉和所有非面粉元素分開是一個非常重要的錯誤。是什麼讓一朵花變成一朵花。現在，當我們開始通過這種相互依賴的視角來看待世界時，這是非常深刻的，當我們開始看到自己時，他變得更加深刻。

Through the samelens of interdependence. If I can't, if I see me, but I can't see all thethings that make me, me, these are my thoughts and my feelings and my emotionsand my memories and my parents and their parents and all the stories of all thethings that combined to make me just the way that I am in this moment, thenI've not actually seen the complete me.
從相互依賴的角度來看。如果我看不到，如果我看到了我，但是我看不到所有讓我，我，這些是我的思想，我的感覺，我的情感，我的記憶，我的父母和他們的父母，所有的事情的故事，所有的這些事情合起來使我現在的樣子，那麼我實際上没有看到完整的我。

So there you gohave, in a nutshell, impermanence and interdependence the two eyes in scenewith eyes of wisdom. Now, the way that this relates to mindfulness and foreveryday life is that we typically see things with the unskillful view ofthings being permanent so-and-so's mean? Yeah. So-and-so will always be thatway.
所以你就有了，簡言之，無常和相互依賴的雙眼在現場用智慧的眼睛。現在，這與正念和日常生活相關的方式是，我們通常用不熟練的觀點看待事物，認為事物是永恒的某某的卑鄙？是啊。某某總是這樣。

Or, uh, this situation islike this. It's not going to change that's in terms of
或者，呃，這種情況是這樣的。不會改變的那是

impermanence, interms of interdependence, we see things as very independent. This is this, andthat is that rather than this is because that is. And we do this with ourselvesand we do this with others. I'm this way, but I don't look into the causes andconditions that make me this way, and it can be really helpful to understandthe nature of interdependence and the nature of
無常，從相互依賴的角度來看，我們認為事物是非常獨立的。這是這個，那是那，而不是這是因為那是。我們這樣做是為了自己，也是為了别人。我是這樣的，但我不去探究導致我這樣的原因和條件，這對理解相互依賴的本質和

impermanence.
無常。

Because if Iunderstand that a certain set of circumstances has causes and conditions, I maynot be able to change the way things are, but I may be able to change some ofthe causes and conditions that make things the way that they are. So there's areally useful way of seeing reality. And that useful way of seeing things interms of the nature of interdependence and the nature of
因為如果我明白，一系列的情況都有原因和條件，我可能無法改變事情的現狀，但我可能能夠改變一些使事情變成原來樣子的原因和條件。所以有一個非常有用的方法來看待現實。從相互依存和

impermanence.
無常。

Now there's afinal thought I want to share with you that comes from the mindfulnesstraditions. And this is an analogy, a story to help you understand the way thatwe tend to perceive reality. And this is the story of the six blind men. Andthis is a story that comes from Buddhist traditions. And the story is about,uh, some blind men who were trying to describe an elephant to each other, andthey were all standing at different places.
現在我想和你們分享一個來自正念傳統的最后一個想法。這是一個類比，一個幫助你理解我們傾向於感知現實的方式的故事。這是六個盲人的故事。這是一個來自佛教傳統的故事。故事是關於，呃，一些盲人試圖描述一頭大象，他們站在不同的地方。

So the onestanding at the rear of the elephant was feeling the tail and describing thisis what an elephant is. It's a long. Hoes with like little furry things at theend. And then when the one who was standing on the side of the elephant wasfeeling just how massive this thing was in front of him.
所以站在大象后面的那個人摸著大象的尾巴，描述著大象是什麼。它很長。鋤頭的末端有類似的小毛茸茸的東西。當站在大象旁邊的人感覺到這東西在他面前有多大。

And he wasdescribing as this is like a wall and it's very sturdy and it's very large. Hewas feeling the side. Then there was one who was feeling one of
他說這就像一堵牆，非常堅固，非常大。他感覺到了另一面。然后有一個人覺得

the legs. Say anelephant is like a tree it's this long, uh, like a trunk of a tree. Uh, theother one's standing in the front was describing the trunk of the elephant.
腿。比如說大象像一棵樹，它有這麼長，呃，像樹干。呃，另一個站在前面描述大象的鼻子。

Say, no,elephants are like snakes. They had this they're long and windy and they move.And you get the picture. They're all describing different aspects of the samething, but all of them have an incomplete view of the whole picture. And that'sbecause of the limitation of space and time. So because of where we stand inspace, we perceive things from a unique vantage point.
說，不，大象像蛇。他們有這個-他們又長又風而且他們移動。你就知道了。他們都在描述同一件事的不同方面，但他們都對整個情況有一個不完整的看法。這是因為空間和時間的限制。因此，由於我們在太空中所處的位置，我們從一個獨特的有利位置來看待事物。

That vantagepoint is the one where you are right anywhere that you S that you are anywherethat you stand, that is here. And if you look at there and you go stand there,there is no, there, there, because there is now here, it'll always be here. So,this is an important understanding to have about how we each perceive reality.
這個有利的地方就是你在任何地方，你在哪里，你站在哪里，就是在這里。如果你看著那里，你站在那里，没有，那里，那里，因為這里有現在，它將永遠在這里。所以，這是我們每個人如何感知現實的重要理解。

We're limited inspace and time space in the same way as the blind men and the elephant becauseof where we stand. But time also, because things are impermanent. So if I'mdescribing the elephant while the elephant's taking a bath, I'm describingsomething very different than when I'm describing when the elephants go intothe bathroom or when the elephant is doing, you know, scratching its body upnext to a tree or whatever the point is that because space and time areconstantly changing.
就像盲人和大象一樣，我們在空間和時間空間上受到限制，因為我們所處的位置。但時間也一樣，因為事情是無常的。所以，如果我在描述大象洗澡的時候，我描述的是與我描述的大象走進浴室或大象在洗澡時，你知道的，在樹旁抓撓它的身體或是其他什麼，因為空間和時間是不斷變化的。

My ability toperceive reality is limited by space and time. And that is the understanding ofseeing through the eyes of wisdom. So with that in mind, I want to wrap this upwith a quote, and this is a quote that comes from Alan Watts. Again, thephilosopher who says the only way to make sense. Out of change is to plungeinto it, move with it and join the dance.
我感知現實的能力受到空間和時間的限制。這就是用智慧的眼睛看問題的理解。考慮到這一點，我想用一句引語來總結這句話，這句話出自艾倫·瓦茨。再說一次，哲學家說了唯一有意義的方法。跳出改變就是投入其中，跟著它前進，加入舞蹈。

So as you takethese concepts and these ideas, and the next episode, I'll discuss some of theexercises and meditations that can help us to start to experienceinterdependence and impermanence.
所以當你接受這些概念和想法的時候，下一集，我將討論一些練習和冥想，它們可以幫助我們開始體驗相互依賴和無常。
