ii. Search for the evidence that the present is not a dream
2、寻找“当下不是梦境”的证据
Another example is to distinguish between reality and dream. If I were to ask you to come up with the evidence in ten minutes to show that being here now and listening to this teaching is not a dream，I doubt that any of you could do that. The fact is that the inherent nature of dream and the actual world are not different; both are unreal. Some people may insist that being in class here and now is definitely a reality, not a dream, because they were not sleeping before coming here. In order to dream, one must be asleep. How can they be dreaming now if they are fully awake? Nevertheless, we often see in dreams exactly the same situation as when we are awake. So this kind of argument cannot prove anything.
另外一个例子，就是区分现实与梦境。如果现在要求你们在十分钟之内，拿出你当下所处的情景不是梦境的证据，我想你们谁都拿不出来。为什么拿不出证据呢？因为梦境和现实这两个世界没有本质的差别，都是虚幻的。有人也许会坚持：这肯定是现实，不是梦境，因为我在赶来听法前，并没有睡觉，没有睡觉怎么能做梦呢？如果是做梦，则一定要先睡觉才行。但是，我们也可以在梦中见到与现在一模一样的情形。所以，这些都不是证据。
To people in general, the period prior to and after this life is nothing but a blur. We might have assumed that at least we know well what the present life is about. But judging from the reasoning above, we may no longer be so sure.
生命的前前和后后，对一般人而言，本身就是模糊不清的。本来，我们以为对生命的中间一段已了如指掌，但是依上面的分析，我们现在到底在做什么也似乎说不清了。
So far we have not tried to explain the two truths by way of the analytic methodology of Madhyamaka but from an angle that is easily understandable. Through the prior analysis, we cannot find the evidence to substantiate that, firstly, the wall is white and secondly, the present is not a dream.
今天我们没有讲中观的很多逻辑，只是从简单易懂的角度来阐明道理。经过以上分析，我们得出结论：第一、我们找不到墙是白色的证据；第二、我们找不到当下不是梦境的确切证据。
It goes to show that nothing that people do, see, or hear is actually based on anything solid. But in the modern society, most people are only concerned with accumulating wealth; whether they are living a real life or a dream is not important. The fact is that if people can contemplate seriously, they will realize that no evidence can be found to substantiate the reality of any matter or object.
凡夫人的所做所为、所见所闻从来都是没有确凿根据的。但是，在现代社会里，大多数的凡夫人不管这是现实还是梦境，只管拼命挣钱，再无其他目的。实际上，若肯认真思维，就无法找到物质实在性的任何证据。
What then is the conclusion following this line of thinking? It should at least raise some questions in our minds: What am I? Am I living in a big dream? This is something we would not have thought about without going through the following process of thorough examination: the dreams at night are small dreams → life in daytime is a big dream → the small dreams are enclosed within the big dream.
这个理论的结果什么呢？它至少让我们内心升起这样的疑问：我到底是什么？是不是正在做一场大梦呢？这是我们在没有细致观察时从来不曾想到的。(晚上睡觉时做的是小梦，白天的日常生活是大梦，大梦里有小梦。)
