On the occasion of Buddha Pournami, Sadhguru tells us what it means and what it takes to be a Buddha.
佛陀满月日之际,萨古鲁告诉我们这个节日意味着什么以及成为一位佛陀所需的必要条件。
Sadhguru: A person who grows on the spiritual path cannot ignore Gautama because his presence has become so dominant. In his own lifetime, he had forty thousand monks who went out to spread the spiritual process. In his own silent way, he changed the world forever. He has been one of the greatest spiritual waves on the planet. Buddha Pournami has always been significant in the yogic culture and was always a very auspicious day in any spiritual aspirant’s life, but today, in commemoration of Gautama Buddha we named it after him. On that full moon evening over 2500 years ago, a man blossomed into a being.
Sadhguru(萨古鲁):一个行走在灵性道路上的人无法忽视乔达摩,因为他的存在如此耀眼。在他的人生中,有40000名僧侣传播着灵性的道路。以他宁静的方式,他永远地改变了这个世界。他是这颗星球上最伟大的灵性浪潮之一。在瑜伽文化里,佛陀满月日有着重大的意义,并且对于任何一位渴望灵性的人都是一个非常吉祥的日子,今天,为了纪念乔达摩佛陀,我们以此命名了这个节日。2500年前的那个满月日,一个人绽放成为了一个存在。
One who is above his intellect, one who is no longer a part of his mind, is a Buddha.
一个超越了他的智力,一个不再是他头脑一部分的人,就是一位佛陀。
Though people generally associate the word Buddha with Gautama, he is not the only Buddha. There have been thousands of Buddhas on this planet and there still are. “Bu” means Buddhi or the intellect. One who is above his intellect, one who is no longer a part of his mind, is a Buddha.
虽然人们通常将佛陀这个词与乔达摩联系在一起,但是他不是唯一的佛陀。这颗星球上曾经有数千位佛陀,现在依旧如此。“Bu”意味着Buddhi或者智力。一个超越了他的智力,一个不再是他头脑一部分的人,就是一位佛陀。
Right now, most people are just a bundle of thoughts, emotions, opinions, and of course, prejudices. Please see, what you consider as “myself” is just a jumble of things that you have gathered from outside. Whichever kind of situations you were exposed to, that is the kind of nonsense you have gathered in your mind. Your mind is society’s garbage bin because you have no choice about what to take and what not to take. Whoever goes that way throws something into your head. You can enshrine this nonsense as divinity if you want but it will not become divinity; it is just simple mind. There is another way to experience life and go beyond the process that you call as mind. To do this, you need to shut the garbage bin and keep it aside.
现在,大多数人只是一堆想法、情绪、意见的集合,当然还包括偏见。请认清,你所称为的“我自己”只是你从外界收集的一堆杂乱的东西。你处在什么样的环境中,你的头脑就会收集什么样荒谬的念头。你的头脑是一个社会的垃圾桶,因为你对于该收集什么不该收集什么没有选择。每个经过的人都会往你的头脑里丢点东西。如果你愿意,你可以将这些荒谬的念头珍视为神圣的,但它不会成为神圣的;这只是简单的念头。有另外一种体验生命的方式,你可以超越你所称为的头脑。要实现它,你需要关闭(头脑)这个垃圾桶并把它放在一边。
The mind is a phenomenal thing, but if you get stuck to it, it will take you for a ride endlessly. If you are in the mind, you are a nonstop suffering human being – you cannot help it. Suffering is inevitable. Maybe when you are watching the sunset, it is so beautiful that you forget everything, but your suffering is sitting right behind you like a tail. The moment you look back, it is right there. What you call as “my happiness,” are those moments when you forgot your suffering. As long as you are in the mind, fears, anxieties and struggles are inevitable; that is the nature of the mind.
头脑是一个非凡的东西,但如果你陷入其中,它会没玩没了地带你兜风。只要你在头脑里,你就是一个不断受苦的人类——你对此毫无办法。受苦是无法避免的。也许当你看着日落,它如此美丽以至于你忘记了一切,但是你的痛苦就像你的尾巴紧随在你身后。当你回过头来看,它就在那里。你所称为的”我的快乐“,是那些你忘记了你的痛苦的时刻。只要你在头脑里,害怕、紧张和挣扎就是无法避免的;这是头脑的属性。
The process of yoga is to see how to go beyond the mind. Only when you are beyond the mind can you really be yourself.
瑜伽的过程就在于如何超越头脑。只有你超越了头脑你才能真正成为自己。
It is because people are unable to bear the torture of the mind that they have devised many ways in society to go below the mind. Excessive eating, alcohol, excessive indulgence in physical pleasures, these are all ways to go below the mind. People use them and for a few moments they forget the torture. You hit the bottle and sleep. For a few hours your mind does not bother you anymore because you have gone below the mind. There is great pleasure and it is so relaxing because suddenly the tortures of your mind are not there. So you get deeply addicted to it.
因为人们没有办法忍受头脑的折磨,他们发明了很多方式来摆脱头脑。暴食、酒精、过度沉溺于物质享乐,这些都是摆脱头脑的方式。人们使用它们,在一段时间内忘记痛苦。你酗酒然后睡觉。几个小时内,你的头脑不再打扰你,因为你摆脱了头脑。你充满了快乐和放松,因为突然间头脑的折磨不在了。所以你对此越发上瘾。
But the nature of the evolutionary process is such that this being which was below the mind has right now evolved into the mind. If it wants to become free, it has to go beyond the mind. There is no such thing as going back. If by using a chemical you go below the mind, you will see, life always catches up with you with more intensity after that is over. It is always so. Suffering intensifies. The process of yoga is to see how to go beyond the mind. Only when you are beyond the mind can you really be yourself.
但是自然进化的过程是生物从头脑之下进化到头脑。如果你想要自由,必须要超越头脑。没有后退这种事。如果你使用化学的方式摆脱头脑,你会看到,生命会再一次以更加强烈的方式抓住你。总是如此。痛苦更加强烈。瑜伽的过程就在于如何超越头脑。只有你超越了头脑你才能真正成为自己。
【反思】
昨天因为下午有班会课,所以上午上完课就在宿舍整理了一下自己的衣物。虽然学习了一些收纳方式,但是每隔一段时间就乱的不行。自己总结了一些原因:1. 第二天要穿的衣服没有提前准备好,早起慌忙之中一拉就乱,因为柜子小,叠的再整齐,一使劲拉,一堆衣服就要跑出来了,然后也来不及叠,就都乱塞在柜子里或床上了,然后因为乱了没及时收拾好,于是就乱上加乱了;2. 物品分类不够明晰,导致摆放有时候错位不方便查找。比如昨天想要穿之前的白色裤子,却怎么也找不大,认为和其他裤子放一起,却没有看到。昨天整理才发现不知道哪一天放在了和上衣一起的位置,怪不得找不到;所以会存在找不到就以为丢了然后再买的现象。比如帽子,放哪里了忘记了,又买了。3.没有严格规定或制定自己的风格,以至于东西很多,但穿的频率却不怎么高,很多很久了压根没有穿过。所以,也做出了几种改变方式:1. 时刻保持整齐,随拿随放。并且能够提前一天规划好第二天要穿的衣服,或者每周规划好下一周要穿的衣服。2. 物体摆放明晰,分类规则,便于检索查找;3.对于不适合自己的东西说no,而不是啥都想尝试。简约且舒适为主。
昨天下午参加班会,刚开始有些不情不愿,因为总觉得班会开的过于频繁,很浪费时间。但昨天下午倒是蛮有趣的。抢答题、考古挖掘、猜红歌,真的是又红又专。但有些还挺值得参考学习的,比如评分机制会因为轮次而发生改变。第一轮:答对5分,打错可以找帮忙组,如帮忙组答对则可以分别+1、3分,如果打错,则打错组-2分,帮忙组不加分;第二轮则是,答对的可以任选一个组来答多选题,多选答对+8分,答对单选+5分,打错则扣3分。第三轮,则是答错不扣分,但第一次答对+5,第二次3分。会有一些梯度变化也让大家适时的抉择到底是抢答还是先思考。由于不再是传统意义的一起抢答,便非常有意思。一起强大的话,大家都会先瞅瞅先举出牌子的队伍,进行参考。大不了大家都不得分。但只有自己队的时候就比较慎重了。班委做事情还是蛮认真的,准备了抢答题,也制作了很多宣传材料。其实也在说明着一件事情:做一件事情,想要去做,就一定要认真,去好好做。这样才能够真的做出一些东西来。
