CategoryA Journey Within Story

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!

Last October one of the participants from overseas asked me “How was your Yoga teaching journey?”. Spontaneously I answered “before I came to know Critical Alignment,

縱觀現今許多世界聞名的瑜珈老師,包括己逝世的前輩們,都把瑜珈里的禪修部份給“當”掉了.這里所謂的“當”掉是指他們當中并沒有一個真正說出了禪修的意涵與方法. 如果我們仔細研究班坦加利的瑜珈經,後四章只專注在心念的修習,也就是禪修部份,說明瑜珈原本就是禪修,但經由許多當今世界聞名的瑜珈老師的詮釋, 卻成了一些光怪陸离的禪修方法. 例如有的把禪修說成是操作不停止的流串瑜珈動作從而進入心念深處; 有的抱著“當下正念”四個字當寶貝,自我感覺良好一番;也有的說成只要停留在身体倒立狀態超開30分鐘才算禪修,我見過最可笑的是把雙掌蓋住雙眼然后說成是感官的抽离… 其實,大部份的瑜珈行者花在形体上的鍛練,都己用了大半世,甚至用了一生的精力,所以,在真正禪修方面有所忽略了原是無可厚非,情有可諒,但應該不知為不知, 倘若把學生引向錯誤的禪修技巧則罪過不小. 大馬瑜珈行者或瑜珈館的确是可以為社會大眾提供心靈滌洗的高尚服務, 但前提是必須厘清本身技藝的純度與深度, 而不是只提供肢体表演, 自娛娛人罷了.
