2012.07-08 修持的方向秀峰禪師現今世界急速在變, 沒有人控制得了, 就算是大禪師也不能如果禪師可以控制這世界, 世界早已和平了但即使是不能控制, 禪師也不會執著臨濟禪師德山禪師崇山禪師向很多人教授正道, 這也可算是一種的改變, 但這種改變亦不能改變世界禪師不能制止波斯尼亞戰爭, 不能制止黑人和白人爭鬥透過教授正確的為人之道, 可以幫助更多人證入人的正道, 那麼人類自己就可以改變這世界然而, 現代人只懂得追逐外間的條件和處境 : 我的太太我的丈夫我的衣服我買的東西我的電影我的音樂等等事物當這些事物有變遷時, 我們的內心也隨之而變佛經有說種種的苦, 和如何拔苦的方法苦其實很簡單, 經中有云 : 如何是苦因? 我們都知道無明就是因, 但無明又是什麼呢? 沒有人明白但人人都明白如果得不到喜歡的東西就會苦, 得到不喜歡的東西也會苦六十億人, 就有六十億種意見沒有人明白別人的心就算他們口說明白, 但事實他們並沒有真的懂, 所以這個世界崩壞了因此, 我們的修持是返回我們的自性, 在自性中, 不管是黑人白人中國人西班牙人波斯尼亞人塞爾維亞人或克羅地亞人, 如果你返回自性, 所有人類都是平等的, 那你便開始懂得觀照這個世界我們的修持是不依賴外緣, 不執於事物的去來, 亦即是證入堅穩的中心堅穩的中心不代表執持己見, 堅穩的中心即是無見, 如你不執持己見, 你的中心便自不動 ; 中心不動, 即能成就一切你便能夠不再被外緣所控制, 能隨緣而非受制於緣這便是我們修持的方向 : 首先證入我的自性, 然後觀照世界, 繼而就是如何與這世界相應運作

2012.07-08 Direction of Practice Zen Master Su Bong This world is changing rapidly and none of us has any control. Even a great Zen master has no control over this world. If a Zen master can control this world, then this world would be at peace. But a Zen master never attaches to anything and cannot change anything but attaches to nothing. Zen Master Lin Chi, Zen Master Dok Sahn and Zen Master Seung Sahn taught many people the correct way. That s a kind of change, but this kind of change cannot change this world. A Zen master cannot stop the Bosnian war and cannot stop black and white people from fighting. By teaching human beings on what is a correct human being s way, many human beings attain becoming a true human being. Then, human beings may change this world by themselves. All human beings only attach to their outside condition and situation: my wife, my husband, my clothes, my shopping, my movie, my music, we attach to everything. If one of those things is changing our inside is also changing. Sutra talks about many kinds of suffering and how to take away suffering. Suffering is very simple. Sutra said, What is this cause of our suffering? We say ignorance, but what is ignorance? Nobody understands what this ignorance is but everybody understands if you don t get what you like, you re suffering. If you get what you don t like, you re also suffering. Six billion people, six billion opinions. Nobody understands anybody else s mind. Even they said, Yes, they don t understand. So this world is broken. Our practice means returning to our original nature. In our original nature, everything is equality. Whether you are black, white, Chinese, Spanish, Bosnian, Serb or Croatian, if you return to your original nature, all human beings are equal. Then for the first time, you can see this world. Our practice means not to be dependent on outside conditions, not dependent on things coming and not dependent on things going. Our practice means attaining a very strong center. Strong center doesn t mean strong opinion. Strong center means no opinion. If you have no opinion, your center never moves. If your center is not moving you can do anything. It means that you are never controlled by outside conditions or situations. You only follow the situation and are not controlled by the situation. That is the direction of our practice: first attain my original nature and then perceive this world. Then next is how you and this world function together.
