什么是慈悲？請你用心探索，親身感受：一顆傷痕累累的心，一顆脆弱易傷的心，能寬恕別人嗎？易受傷之心，修養(yǎng)自己的美德，刻意追求慷慨大度，這是慈悲嗎？慈悲，和仁愛一樣，都是與心智無關的品格；當你處于慈悲、仁愛之中時，心智是意識不到的。一旦有意識地寬容他人，你的“自我中心”反而安住于心理傷害中，并得到增強。所以，當刻意寬容他人時，其實內心從未寬容，因為它不懂真正的寬容；之所以做出寬容姿態(tài)，只是為了免受更多的傷害。

所以，重要的是，我們要明白：為什么心總耽于記憶與儲存？因為我們的心不懈地追逐自大，自我膨脹，夢想成為大人物。而當你自甘于無名，自甘于尋常，自甘于徹徹底底平淡如水，則那狀態(tài)中就有悲憫，此時既不存在寬容心，也沒有傷害感。要想明白這一點，你必須明白“自我”是如何刻意培育出來的。

所以，只要你刻意培養(yǎng)某種影響力、某種美德，那么你心里就沒有仁愛，沒有慈悲，因為仁愛與慈悲并非努力即可得。

Forgiveness Is Not True Compassion

What is it to be compassionate? Please find out for yourself, feel it out, whether a mind that is hurt, that can be hurt, can ever forgive. Can a mind that is capable of being hurt ever forgive? And can such a mind, which is capable of being hurt, which is cultivating virtue, which is conscious of generosity, can such a mind be compassionate? Compassion, as love, is something which is not of the mind. The mind is not conscious of itself as being compassionate, as loving. But the moment you forgive consciously, the mind is strengthening its own center in its own hurt. So the mind which consciously forgives can never forgive; it does not know forgiveness; it forgives in order not to be further hurt.

So it is very important to find out why the mind actually remembers, stores away. Because the mind is everlastingly seeking to aggrandize itself, to become big, to be something. When the mind is willing not to be anything, to be nothing, completely nothing, then in that state there is compassion. In that state there is neither forgiveness nor the state of hurt; but to understand that, one has to understand the conscious development of the “me….”

So, as long as there is the conscious cultivation of any particular influence, any particular virtue, there can be no love, there can be no compassion, because love and compassion are not the result of conscious effort.
