Everybody is good, I am Gu Kun, welcome you to learn to reading aloud together with me.
In a class, we spoke of business, spoke of the automatic navigation condition in life, also open a sense organ afresh conciously on the class, spent very long period of time to observe and sample a currant. A moment ago my respecting " open a sense organ afresh " , why to want " afresh " open a sense organ? is our sense organ at ordinary times shut? We have an eye all the time, have ear, have nose, have mouth, they are in all the time, but, why to open them afresh even?
If be experienced carefully, we discover not hard, actually a lot of moment, although we have these senses, but, seem to be in again certain hour, like losing it, although occasionally we are using ear to listen, but seem to was not heard again, looking with the eye occasionally, seem to did not see again however, we can enter a kind sometimes " have, seem to do not have however " , "In, seem to be absent however " in condition, namely we often say " turn a blind eye to, turn a deaf ear to, feed and do not know its ingredient " .
Why can be the sense organ shut? At that time our immanent what to produce again? If you become aware attentively, connect regular meeting to discover, those hour, our heart is very busy, cerebrum is pondering over a problem unconsciously, perhaps be enmeshed to be opposite a few trifling abstracted incident, or a few associate, among the mood, enter " automatic navigation " condition, namely so called " absent-minded " , and such a kind absent-minded, we can say for " interior business " .
We look now " busy " this word, left is a heart, right is to die, closing together is " interior death " , this Chinese character seems to telling us, too busy, resemble a machine everyday same, cursory, did not experience to the life, like was like the heart to die.
"Busy " can divide into two parts, one is the business of the body, another is interior business. The business on the body, it is good actually, it is businesslike, it is healthful, can create a lot of real value. And the business of the body also is to be able to be controlled, if pure because the body feels exhaustion busily,be, you need to stop the body only, rest, sleep shut-eye, tired out feeling goes very quickly.
However, what bring an issue truly is the busy feeling on the heart. Want to rest, still remembering with concern however in the heart; Dozy shut-eye, cannot set his mind at again however be asleep; Want to let oneself let go, but how be also put however in the heart,fall. Finally, although the body does not have business, but in the heart busy however ceaseless, evolved " without the thing busy " . Go to work by day like some people, also did not do what thing it seems that, but feel whacked namely, because the heart did not rest,this is, busy ceaselessly.
Busy meeting of the heart makes immanent confused sense, like was like a heart to lose order, it hides in the body, resemble the broadcasting station with a not stable signal, give out grating noise ceaselessly, be in ceaselessly without become aware know, the behaviour that affects us unconsciously, affect our life and work, produce a few anguish to life even.
Face the period with such busy hearts, we are not be at a loss what to do, a lot of people took a few step, go resisting busy, alleviate angst, the hope can look for the calm of a few hearts. For instance conscious rein in lives rhythm, drink drink coffee, read read, paint a picture, hear a concert, do a gem gal, seek more athletic time; Or, no longer so angle material and consumption, it is libidinal demarcate inside certain limits, even, pursuit pole brief lifestyle. All these, anyway, it is to aim to resist actually this " busy " word, make oneself slow come down, the heart that lets oneself has suspensive possibility in business, have the possibility that rest.
We spoke of " time-out " , and reading aloud an exercise to appear to want really from this " time-out " proceed with. We see this Chinese character first: "Stop " , left is a person, right is a building, kiosk, this word is very intended condition, like a picture, also resemble a story, those who say is a person goes tired on foot, rely on by kiosk to rest, see the landscape of far, or bask, hair is bemused, let the mood be loosened, then, call " stop " .
Before beginning to attending an exercise, it is above all to business oneself give out to invite, no matter how you are busy now, you can take out the time of little to give your, let oneself stop, whats are done, just wait for a little while quietly. So tender invitation was full of a lot of kindness, there also is the care of a lot of pairs of egoes inside.
However occasionally, busy inertial too powerful, we need to have a few clearer statements to his body, for instance, stop to move restlessly, the business that halts any bodies to go up and artificial, let the body be not moved conciously even, in immobile flashy, go experiencing one kind smokes the feeling that leave from inside reality, the sort of feeling is like is to say, "Your momentarily disappeared from this world " , let this him world run, you do not need to participate in among them, also do not need to assume pron any thing.
This nots allow possibly at the beginning easy, because appear to have a power in our body, seem to always must want what to do, so, in formal attending an exercise in, a lot of moment can introduce a kind of stability to abecedarian and majestic pose is sitting, the body is for instance forceful and loosen, retain have one's head screwed on the right way, or cross one's legs and sit, this kind contains the sitting position that the ceremony feels slightly, it is to be in actually issue a challenge to inherent bad habit, be establishing an underlying authoritative feeling and existence move afresh. Additional, will tell from neurophysiology angle, hold forceful sitting position, can do reticulate structure to send an in-house signal to the head, what it can keep brain is sober, nimble and become aware goodly tell state.
Of course, such sitting position is not is must. Because, the busy backside of this kind of body, it is a lot of impulse of the heart actually, of a lot of thoughts and feeling emerge move, accordingly, "Stop " key, be absent the body, the busy move that how can let a heart however stops, perhaps say from the heart in moving restlessly static come down.
We might as well will experience, after letting the body stop, be like the body to be able to be faced with a kind of empty feeling above all, be faced with a kind to lack the sense that lose, because, want the business that do originally, did not do first, body experience experiences a kind to be short of apparently break, accompany even have a few lose. On the other hand, this kind is short of break can make a person sober occasionally, this resembles keeping eating potato piece person, if balk to potato of a place of strategic importance in the mouth piece, he can feel this world at a draught quiet to come down, back-to-back meeting has a kind to lack the experience that miss. However, if his look is not,continue to staring at potato piece, turn to be in upcountry however, he can see a very rich immanent world probably: The impulse in the body, " want to continue to eat " feeling, the thought that ceaseless instant emerge in large numbers disappears, if can silent observation, all these is so rich so. Also be in this moment, we saw immanent oneself.
Begin momently from this, we also with respect to open a domain, one becomes aware the domain that knows oneself, and the focal point that this also is missing an exercise. After stopping to move restlessly when the body, we are about to begin to face an immanent world that does not decide completely. What idea can appear in knowing to issue one second brain forever because of us, the past or which paragraphs of story that did not come, can enter our heart again, we can be faced with what speak of at the beginning the sort of " absent-minded " condition, experience a kind of heart " not know what to do " experience. Slowly, in certain hour, you may feel some out of control, also may feel depressed, because you began to realize, oneself heart is bustling in that way, in that way babble, without order.
Accordingly, if want to obtain inner calm, you must want to learning to make your a bit more patient, because, neither one comes calmly, do not need time to accumulate. This resembles a cup of clear water, need time will precipitate slowly. This one do-nothing the process that await, you may experience a lot of hearts move restlessly, but anyway, you still are beginning phase, remind oneself to want to have patience, and be put down as far as possible all expectation, contrary, if you become very anxious, very eager for quick success and instant benefit, be afraid can meet only things go contrary to one's wishes, do not come back possibly forever calmly.
Here has the story of a Zen. Child asks a master worker: Master, how long can I just achieve inner calm? The master says: 30 years. Prentice very anxious, say so long ah, I cannot wait so long, if I am repaired frequently,practice hard, day and night does not cease the ground practices, it is OK a bit faster. The master shakes shake one's head say, if such word, be afraid you need 50 years.
In attending an exercise so, you are more anxious, can be far from more; Exceed material gain, also can be far from more. Best is, you put down the expectation in the heart, let all naturally go. Of course, besides patience, we also are met a few skill, meet everybody share a specific means today, namely: If you want to train a heart, you are about to the heart a job is done.
Tell you to may not understand so, make an example, we this heart resembles a monkey same, always be cranky, cannot stable, this moment, you should give a heart a bit business do, if you want to let a monkey be being waited for very obediently,resemble, you should give him a few delicious or amused, to him for instance banana eats, such monkeys are met obedient, meet quiet to come down.
Our heart world also is such, if you want to make a heart stable come down, you are about to the heart a thing is done, give it a banana, such, the heart finds a place for likely come down, run in disorder no longer, then the opportunity obtains calm. And what is this banana? Here, those who give everybody introduction this is, breath. Had you once noticed your breath? Breath just has life, and like breathing to resemble a river, connective our be born and die. Everybody has breath, in this experience, go experiencing natural breath namely, go continuously experiencing it, other whats need not be done, also need not think or analyse, just experience, experience natural breath. There can be all sorts of thoughts to disturb you among this, you need not be in charge of them, thought can come, also meet, your only work is, experience breath continuously. In each instantly, establish close connection with breath, receive momently momently, a breath catchs next breath. It is this exercise, we say become aware for breath know a drill, english abbreviation is AOB (Aware Of Breath) .
Good, become aware this simple breath today know methodological introduction to give authority. Our meeting issues recording guidance signal, ask you to be in did not come a few days, follow to practice as directive language, or if you are willing, OK also oneself will do an exercise. Anyhow, remember devoted time, perserve only, ability is harvested somewhat.
Finally, we do a brief summary, we spoke of business today, also spoke of time-out, spoke of how to borrow by " busy " and " stop " will understand to reading aloud, become aware to what everybody shared breath know a drill, begin to serve as a daily homework to finish.
Today's theme is to be conciously stay at the moment, you can do daily homework of course, on breath the society stays, make oneself stable on breath come down slowly, experience immanent calm. Also probably, the certain instant that you can live in reality, make a bit stay. Have an experience of life I want to share everybody, namely, now is northward Qiu Dong when season is alternant, also be the season of a fallen leaves, I do not know everybody once crossed a phenomenon alertly, go listening namely, the sound of the ground is contacted when leaf be born. This sound often very tiny, if listen not carefully, it is unheard, it is mixed in the car via often can be being flooded of the crowd blatant in, flood in oneself cursory footstep. Actually, if you listen conciously attentively, often be OK listen arrive. And, go hearing this voice, want to holding a kind of cherished state of mind in the arms it seems that, because, do not know whether you realize, a leaf is annual only opportunity, with this kind of means and earth contact, and this " lay a finger on " sound, also can happen every year only.
I think, if you feel curious, might as well go hearing this voice, it is to be after the working end with some busy day probably, you are taking a little may tired out body, go in what come home street, blow when blast, the leaf on wayside tree was blown to fall, might as well you stop offal pace, go having a look, reading that leave is how to slide leisurely from inside sky, and in its be born flashy, go listening to that leaf to contact the sound of the earth. Probably, be in that is flashy, in your heart the part of certain tenderness, as if to be waked up again, and the sound of that fallen leaves, seem to also can pass through blatant, enter your heart in, the heart that lets you becomes soft, the busy heart that also gives you is brought one is comforted and calm, and these, be all import that keeps at the moment namely probably.
Finally, I want to share a few poems with everybody, they are to come from at Gu Cheng " before the door " :
Grass is in knot its seed,
Wind is shaking its leaf,
We are standing, do not talk,
Very good.
