關於無常 On impermanence

關於無常


沒有什麼是一成不變的。 沒有什麼是永遠都會保持一樣的。 我們在智力層面上都知道這一點,但是,在感覺(收縮)和宇宙狀態(膨脹)的量子和微觀水平上,人們可以多密切地觀察這一點,而這也是讓你開一扇前往自由的門


原子的振動和振盪比人眼的眨眼快約數十億倍,而人眼的眨眼比恆星的誕生和死亡快數十億倍


一位禪修尼姑描述了她的啟蒙時刻:

“她見諸法同時生起、住、滅。這一切的知道也自發地生起、住、滅去。於是她知道除此之外別無他物。沒有地,沒有什麼可以依靠,也沒有所謂正在依靠著的人。她鬆開內心緊握的拳頭,便跳了進去”.


最近我一直在談論無我,但有關無常的見解也只是它的同一枚硬幣的另一面


(任何有關這道路的見解都與對單一實相的多面寶石的所有其他見識密切相關,並從所有其他見識中浮現出來)

如果你還沒有解開中心點,就很難在最深的層次上觀察無常,反之亦然。

正如你體驗中知覺的那一結會依附於任何在附近的體驗對象,包括上帝,作為“自我”,同樣也將體驗“凍結”為靜態現象,而不是不斷流動的自然狀態。 在每一納秒展開無休止的過程。 見證者、見證的過程和被見證的都在一場沒有眼睛/我的宇宙風暴中滾動

最深的非我證悟是個果/止息,也就是當意識也消失的那一刻

那麼最深的無常證悟也僅此而已。 當你在微觀層面觀察無常時,最終你的頭腦“捕捉”了構成你生命電影流動的定格,而你同時也在幀之間的空間時,到最後整個宇宙就會消失去

如果我能用我最近描述的覺醒階段,無常的證悟可以被觀想如下:

1. 您正在通過電視屏幕觀看河流的視頻

2.你站在河邊,看著它流過

3.你跳進河裡(但還是有一種從身體的中心點沿著河游泳並與河匯合的感覺)

4.你的身體溶解了,只有河流

5. 河流蒸發成空氣。


而平凡的每一刻,都格外引人入勝,也正是因為如此。 即使是看著一個靜止的物體,深入無常也會揭示它的神性,因為一切都在振動、升起、消失在本源中。


一秒鐘前構成“你”的任何東西都將永遠消失。 下一秒組成“你”的任何東西也永遠都不會到來

On impermanence

Nothing stays constant. Nothing remains the same. We all know this on the intellectual level, but how closely can one observe this Insight experientially at the quantum and microscopic level of sensations (contraction) and the cosmic state (expansion) is one door to liberation

The vibratory, oscillating "blink" of an atom is about billions of times faster than the blink of a human eye, which is billions of times faster than the birth and death of a star.

A zen nun describes her moment of enlightenment.

"She saw all phenomenon arose, abided, and fell away simultaneously. The Knowing of all this also arose, abided, and fell away spontaneously. Then she knew that there was nothing more than this. No ground, nothing to lean on, and no one leaning. And then she opens the clenched fist of her mind, and jump in."

Beautiful aye?

Recently I've been talking a lot about No-Self, but the Insight into impermanence is just another side of the same coin.

(ANY insight on the Path is intimately connected to and is emerge out of all other Insights on the multi-faceted jewel of the One Reality).

See it is very difficult to observe impermanence at the deepest level if you still have not dissolved the center point and vice versa.

Just as the perceptual knot in the middle of your experience will cling on to any object of experience, including God, as "Self", what also does is "freeze" experiences into static phenomenons instead of the Natural State of constantly Flow. Endless process unfolding nano second by nano second. Where the Witness, the witnessing, and the witnessed all roll in One Cosmic Storm without an Eye/I.

The deepest Realization of Not-Self is a fruition/cessation where even Consciousness disappears.

Then the deepest Realization of Impermanence is also just that. When you observe impermanence at the microscopic level, eventually your mind "catches" the freeze frame that composes the flow of your movie of life as you sync into the space between frames, and then the entire universe disappears.

If I can use the stages of awakening I've been describing recently, the Realization of Impermanence can be visualized as follows:

1. You are watching a video of a river through a TV screen

2. You are standing next to the river and watching in flow by

3. You jump into the river (yet there is still a sense of swimming alongside and merging with the river from a center point of the body)

4. Your body dissolves and there is just the river

5. The river evaporates into air.

And the reason why every moment of the ordinary is extraordinarily fascinating is just that. Even looking at a static object, deep penetration into Impermanence reveals its Divine Nature, as everything is vibrating, arising, vanishing into the Source.

Whatever makes up "you" a second ago is gone forever. Whatever will make up "you" on the next second will never come
