守破離(日語唸「しゅはり」(shuhari))不同於斷捨離,也許過程和境界更為全面。

守破離(日語唸「しゅはり」(shuhari))不同於斷捨離,也許過程和境界更為全面。
We have this unique human intelligence. We should use it to solve challenges we face, and never give up or tell ourselves there’s no hope. If we have a positive goal and we’re well motivated to seek the well-being of others, no matter how difficult it is to achieve, we can remain determined. We have a reason to keep our strength up. We need self-confidence and we have to be truthful and honest.
--- Dalai Lama

人無法依著想像而活,但人無法只活在現實裡。生命的過程有時是兩者之間的平衡,或者是兩者交織。
其實,我並沒有讀過《當生命陷落時》這本書。看到曾經得到這本書陪伴的朋友分享,我相信她的反芻是真切而非斷章取義,而她有感的段落,給予了許多反思和感受的關鍵字。
心靈啟示與不幸是不可分的。
但是每次碰到痛苦,我們總是想去之而後快,而不想觀察痛苦和快樂是怎麼相互作用的。
週日清早看到旭徽老師這篇Po文,宛如一篇總結提醒一樣。老師自身的體悟和經驗真實深刻而真誠,由身返心真是一種境界。
「在我的習舞養成過程中,我曾經非常怨懟自己的身體,不喜歡自己肢體的天賦條件,不滿意自己的形象。......因為,我把自己看得太重要了,把我的身體看得過度重要了,我以為那是我的存在價值,是我專業的本錢和飯碗。於是,注定要不斷地面臨對身體的僵執所帶來的挫折與傷害。」
「水不可逆流,人不可逆天。身體,是不可逆用的。」
We have to identify what disturbs our peace of mind and learn how to counter that, much as we take the appropriate medicine when we are sick. When we are angry, we should ask why. When someone criticizes you, if you get angry it doesn’t relieve your irritation, whereas if you remain patient and calm, you don’t get upset.
- Dalai Lama

不平靜,確實不平靜。
"The very purpose of life is to find happiness. This is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we live in hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self-confidence, the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently."
- Dalai Lama
Then, how would you define "hope"?
雖然已經不再是學生,但對於學習和面對未來的體悟不應與年輕人有所分別。摘錄今年東京大學入學典禮上上野千鶴子名譽教授致詞中有所省思啟發的部分,自我提醒勉勵。
上野千鶴子教授是研究「女性學」的先驅。她說,曾刺激她奮起的,是「永無休止的好奇心和對不公正社會的憤怒。」當世界充滿未解之謎,學術中也必須存在著冒險,很多如初生朝陽般的學問相繼誕生,因為「時代的變化在渴求它們。」
面對社會菁英的東大生們,上野教授提醒著一種付出與感恩的心態:
偉大的企業領導人總是很重視目的的力量,認為自己的公司是否能在這個世界留下痕跡,目的就是關鍵。
企業界以外的領導人也是。帶領變革運動的領袖都對自己的目的有非常清楚的認知,如甘地、金恩博士、達賴喇嘛。很多致力於讓世界變得更好的社會組織也是,如無國界醫生、世界自然基金會、國際特赦組織等皆是。
但這樣的目的並不是自然降臨在他們身上的,你也不會一天醒來突然發現自己人生的目的。你想要成為什麼樣的人?你人生的目的為何?這是非常重大的事,你不可能聽天由命。你必須仔細思索、選擇和因應。你在這一生將會碰到許許多多無可預期的機會與挑戰,你會變成什麼樣的人就看你如何因應。
「每個人都會遇到痛苦與困境,但是痛苦是會消失的,困境是有機會挽救的。我們應提起心力去面對痛苦與困境,而不是無奈地逃避,也許事情不如理想般的圓滿,但是努力了才會有機會。如果沒有達到理想就失望、沮喪,那麼,未來的機會也會跟著消失。」
- 達賴喇嘛
今年的課題:採取必要的行動去改變限制自己的「理由」。(好吧~羞慚,這課題我去年就頓悟了......從發現覺察、接受到採取行動,無比漫長.....)
限制自己的理由,總跟欲求「理想」有關。表面上是欲求「理想」,內心深處是害怕不理想的恐懼。
"There is no place for arrogance in the arts, but neither is there room for doubt or a perpetual need for affirmation. If you come to me with doubts about a particular move in a piece, or if you come to me and ask if what you've written has truth and power in it, these are doubts I can handle and respect. But if you come to me and moan about whether or not you really have a place in the dance or the theatre or in film, I'll be the first person to pack your bags and walk you to the door. You are either admitting that you lack the talent and the will, or you are just looking for some easy attention. I don't have time for that. The world doesn't have time for that. Believe in your worth and work with a will so that others will see it. That's how it is done; that's how it was always done."
--Martha Graham/Interview with James Grissom/1973/
「我認為每個人身上都有衝突的力量,如果我們能夠找出克服矛盾與衝突的平衡點,就會有所進展。若可以聰明地評估矛盾的觀點,克服矛盾,新的想法自然就會出現;因此矛盾本身還不壞,它可能是更多發展的基礎。除非它失去控制,被暴力地表達出來,才變得具有破壞性。」
- 達賴喇嘛
謝謝芳宜老師的分享:迷了路,就把自己找回來;身體力行,可以看見希望。
