世间只有执着，没有所谓的“去执”。心智虚构出“去执”，来对冲执着的痛苦。当你努力去执、对治执着时，你又造作出新的执着，所以这个“去执”过程本身即是执着。

你执着于太太、丈夫、孩子，执着于理念、传统、威权，等等，你对执着的逆反方式就是“去执”。培育“去执”是烦恼与痛苦的产物，你想逃避执着的痛苦，而逃避方式是寻觅值得你执着的新目标。所以，世间只有执着，而刻意培育“去执”实在是愚不可及。所有的书上都宣扬“去执”，但事情的真相是什么？如果你能观照自心，就会有不寻常的发现：通过培育“去执”，你的心又被绑缚到新的执着之上。

The Cultivation of Detachment

There is only attachment; there is no such thing as detachment. The mind invents detachment as a reaction to the pain of attachment. When you react to attachment by becoming “detached,” you are attached to something else. So that whole process is one of attachment.

You are attached to your wife or your husband, to your children, to ideas, to tradition, to authority, and so on; and your reaction to that attachment is detachment. The cultivation of detachment is the outcome of sorrow, pain. You want to escape from the pain of attachment, and your escape is to find something to which you think you can be attached. So there is only attachment, and it is a stupid mind that cultivates detachment. All the books say, “Be detached,” but what is the truth of the matter? If you observe your own mind, you will see an extraordinary thing—that through cultivating detachment, your mind is becoming attached to something else.
