| 摘要 | Learning through experience entails mindfulness in all we do. From the simple action of getting up in the morning to our dreams at night, everything can be included in this meditation. We can learn to open our senses to each nuance of experience, mindful of even the smallest details of our lives, such as how we walk and how we talk with others. In this way, we learn to open to the truth of our experience, the source of spiritual awareness. From the chapter "The Dharma Within", by Tarthang Tulku: It is very simple. Devotion and compassion can take us very close to absolute reality. Devotion opens the heart, where our essential energy or awareness resides, manifesting itself as our inner guidance. Devotion means surrendering to this higher energy, this pure awareness. Surrender requires openness, allowing the Dharma to reach our hearts. Compassion provides the door. There once was a young monk named Paka Trubangwa. He did not know how to read, so his teacher told him to spend his days cleaning the temple. Instead of studying the texts, he spent years cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. He was told that as he cleaned, he was to repeat, "the dust is gone; the smell is gone." One day he thought "What is dust?" At that moment he understood that the real dust is our fettering emotions. The more he repeated the words, the more he realized the nature of existence. It is our motivation, our concentration, our mindfulness that is important; we can transmute whatever we do, turning dust into gold. In most cases, if someone were to tell us to do nothing but clean a temple, we would feel resentment. But when we accept all aspects of life, we find that we can learn from any situation. The Dharma actually becomes a part of us, and we become a part of the Dharma. Strength comes, and encouragement and confidence follow. This understanding is the Dharma within; there are no walls between us and the Dharma. This, we discover, is a surrendering to our own true nature. |
