第七、第八考: 管好自己的「當下一念」了嗎?之2
Questions 7 and 8: Take care of your " thoughts of the moment"? (2)
呂祖純陽慈語君子慎其獨,要慎其當下一念
A gentleman should be cautious when he is alone, and he should be cautious about the thoughts of the present moment,
尤其當你一個人獨處的時候,是不是能夠光明正大、磊落自在? 小心你的一心一念、當下的念頭,
Especially when you are alone, are you able to be honest and at ease? Be careful of your own mindThe picture can't be displayed. nd thought, the thought of the moment.
譬如說:「哎呀!看到這麼好的東 西,當下那一念是我真想留下來呀!
For example, " Oh, see such a good thing, the thought at the moment is actually – I really want to have it!"
可是咱們修道人要放些呆,不該自 己的財物不可以愛,所以拿回去還。
We as Tao followers shall sometimes be simple-minded; we shall not take or be attached to things that do not belong to us, and therefore shall return it back
Are you talking about whether this is right or wrong? Were his initial thoughts correct?
得饒人處且饒人哪!你管人家第一念對不對,人家行為對就好了,對不對?(對)不對!
Be tolerant of others! Leave it to other people's minds, as long as he's doing the right thing. Is that right?(yes)No!
人的事情你們管那麼多做什麼? 管自己就好了?明白嗎?
What do you do to care about other people's business? Just take care of yourself
Reflection
第一念是智。第二念是識。隨識即染。依智則淨。
The first thought is wisdom. The second thought is knowledge. The following knowledge is dyeing. According to wisdom is cleansing.
處事時,廓然而大公,物來而順應。
When dealing with matters, we shall be fair and respond accordingly
事未至勿將迎,事已過勿留滯。坦坦蕩蕩,即第一念也。
Don't overtly think when things haven't begun, don't remain when things are over. To be frank, it's about your first thought.
Hold onto the present thoughts
持真經是一個方法,調息也是一個方法,只要你守一個方法,一門深入,
Reciting the scripture is a method, and adjusting the breath is also a method. As long as you stick to one method, one can excel
心無二用,自然能制止妄念,讓心安靜下來,但應注意一個問題,「昏沈」
When the mind is fully focused, it can naturally stop delusions and calm the mind, but one problem should be noted, "drowsiness
人要達到守一不移,雜念總是會干擾, 讓人心不定。
People want to keep guard, distracting thoughts are always disturbing and uneasy.
守一就是要專注,在專注的同時呢, 你要讓你內心智慧也很清楚,守的東西也要清清楚楚的。
The first step is to focus while concentrating, you must make your inner wisdom be very clear, and the things you guard must be clear.
Conclusion
慎獨是一種情操,是修養,是自律,是坦蕩。不放縱、不踰矩、不越軌。
To be alone is a form of consciousness, it's training, self-discipline, and frankness. Don't indulge, don rover un, don't exceed the bounds.
