Human Life Is a Continuous Struggle with “ The Self”

Part 1

In my book The Grey Wolf of Xixia, I described a"woman called White Robe. She was a ghost who had almost been dispelled. Why had she almost been dispelled?

Because most people do not believe in the existence of spirits, and this kind of doubt was constantly dispelling her, until in the end, even she began to doubt herself. Later, Hei Geshou's appearance rescued her.

This process in fact also occurs in the world of our inner minds. When we are slaves to desire, we constantly use a kind of utilitarian thinking to dispel our own spirits, and to dissolve away those yearning of our inner minds to go toward the spiritual.(page 62-63)

Part 2

The oceanic"true mind" is as even as the surface of a mirror, but when external objects are reflected in it, it is like the wind blowing and waves arising on the great ocean, and then false mind appears.

When we use the power of wisdom or discipline to fend off the enticements of the external world and keep them outside the mind, the ocean of the mind slowly quiets down again.

That state without waves or ripples is the true mind. When waves move in the mind, the false thoughts are born. When false thoughts stop, the true mind is revealed. For example,between this thought and the next thought, there is a state without thoughts.

When you use your inherent nature or your mind of lucid awareness to observe it, it is very easy for you to merge with the true mind. (page 66)

~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

選段一

我在《西夏的蒼狼》里描寫(xiě)過(guò)一個(gè)叫作白輕衣的“女子”,她是一個(gè)差點(diǎn)被消解的幽靈。為什么她會(huì)差點(diǎn)被消解?因?yàn)榇蟛糠秩硕疾幌嘈澎`魂的存在,這種懷疑無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻不在消解著她,最終,連她自己都開(kāi)始懷疑自己。后來(lái),黑歌手的出現(xiàn)挽救了她。這個(gè)過(guò)程,其實(shí)也發(fā)生在我們的內(nèi)心世界。在欲望的奴役之下,我們不斷用一種功利思想消解著自己的靈魂,也消解著內(nèi)心趨向于神性的那些向往。我們不知道自己只能在那向往中實(shí)現(xiàn)一種相對(duì)的永恒,卻一直在虛幻無(wú)常的外部世界尋找永恒。(51頁(yè))

選段二

大海的“真心”平如鏡面,但外界影響它的時(shí)候,比如刮風(fēng)之類(lèi)的,那么大海就起了波浪,這時(shí),妄心就出現(xiàn)了。當(dāng)我們用智慧拒絕了外界誘惑,或是用戒的力量把外界的誘惑拒于心外的時(shí)候,心的大海就慢慢平息下來(lái)了。無(wú)波無(wú)紋的那種狀態(tài)就是真心。心波動(dòng)便生妄念,妄念止息便顯出真心。比如,這個(gè)念頭和下一個(gè)念頭中間,有一個(gè)無(wú)念狀態(tài),當(dāng)你用你的自性或警覺(jué)心觀照它時(shí),你就很容易契入真心。(53-54頁(yè))
