〖嬉戏的孩子〗
我们对心性反复地思惟之后,将会了解,心就只是心,不会有别的了。我们会明白,心就是心,这是它的本然。如果我们清楚地看清这一点,我们就不会去执著念头和感觉,只要持续不断地告诉自己:“它就是如此”,我们就不必要再加些什么了。当这颗心如实地了解,它就能放下一切。虽然仍会有念头和感觉,但是,每一个念头和感觉都将失去作用。
就像刚开始被一个喜欢玩却会干扰我们的小孩烦扰得很厉害,所以我们责打他,但是,事后我们逐渐明白活泼好动是小孩子的天性,於是我们会任他去玩。我们放下了,我们的烦恼也就消失了。为什么烦恼会消失呢?因为,现在我们已经接受了孩子的天性,看法也已经改变了,而且已经接受事物的真实面目。我们放下,然后心将会变得更平静。现在,我们已经有了正见。
Child Playing
When we have contemplated the nature of the heart many times, we will come to understand that the heart's ways are just as they are and can't be otherwise. They make up the nature of the heart. If we see this clearly, then we can detach from thoughts and feelings. And we don't have to add on anything more if we constantly tell ourselves that "that's just the way it is." When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything. Thinking and feeling will be deprived of power. It is like at first being annoyed by a child who likes to play in ways that annoy us so much we scold or spank him. But later we understand that it's natural for a child to play and act like that, so we leave him alone. We let go and our troubles are over. Why are they over? Because we now accept the natural ways of children. Our outlook has changed and we now accept the true nature of things. We let go and our heart becomes more peaceful. We now have right understanding.
