禪修篇二 : 跟自已說bye bye
周星馳電影“西遊記”中最后有一幕唐僧師徒眾人目送自身隨風沙徐徐繼續向前走,但自已卻留了下來..讓人好奇究竟是怎么一回事? 一眾人為什么會分成兩半? 這一幕恰恰把禪修的意境形容得十分傳神,究竟是什么留了下來? 真正禪修不主張元神出竅,也不鼓勵冷水泡石的入定,更不講正負能量, 天使神鬼, 气場神通等等. 我們要求覺知,當心覺知到自心,會逐漸發現有許多東西在不斷流動,來去,生滅…它們是我們的念頭,感受,情緒,肢体動覺,身体覺受,五官刺激,五大變幻等等…彷彿走馬燈似的永遠沒完沒了. 但卻有一個恆常如如不動的中心東西留在原地,并不隨大家前進, 只單純的知道一切所有, 如此而己. 其實任何一個人都有能力發現這份澄然覺性,只可惜我們不相信它的存在,更不願意去與它長時同處,以致我們與這世界上最珍貴的內在寶藏失之交臂,相逢不相識! 八部瑜珈AsthangaYoga里每一部都朝這內在寶藏逐漸靠近, 如果你練的瑜珈不是這樣, 那便是在虛耗時光!
