古萨里——与我执做“断舍离”

篇首语

一切烦恼的根源就是我见。比如我对他人生气时，如果仔细寻找生气的原因就会发现，可能他语言伤害了“我”，也可能他伤及我的亲人、朋友等等诸如此类，所以我很生气。竞争心、嫉妒心、傲慢心等八万四千烦恼生起时，直接或间接与我执相联，如果“我”的基础不存在，一切烦恼就不会生起。

——日增嘎瓦上师

古萨里——与我执做“断舍离”

「古萨里」一词意指「乞丐」。出离于世间生活的瑜伽士，譬如山中的隐士，没有任何其他财物可供养，他们利用观想，将自己的身体作为供养，以便积聚福德与智慧。

The word “kusali” means a beggar. To accumulate merit and wisdom, yogis who have renounced ordinary life – hermits who live in the mountains, for instance – use visualization to make offerings of their own bodies, having no other possessions to offer. 

我们花了极大的努力与关照，集聚了身边的所有其他物质，都是为了照料这个身体而来的，相较于所有其他的财物，身体无疑地就是我们最珍爱的。因此，为了断绝我们对自己身体的迷恋，我们将它拿来作为供养，会比用其他财物供养的利益更大。

All the other material things that we gather around us with so much effort and concern are for the care of our bodies, and compared to any other possession it is without doubt our bodies that we cherish most. To serve our infatuation with our own bodies and use them as an offering is therefore far more beneficial than offering any other possession. 

今日所谓的「断法」修行人，他们认为此法是用砍、剁、追、杀来摧毁恶灵的狰狞过程。他们认为施身法就是要持续地充满着愤怒，他们的勇猛只不过是仇恨与骄傲而已，自以为必须像阎王的刽子手才行，但如此修持佛法是完全错误的。

What today’s so-called Chö practitioners mean by Chö is a grisly process of destroying malignant spirits by killing, slashing, chopping, beating or chasing them. Their idea of Chö involves being constantly full of anger. Their bravado is nothing more than hatred and pride. They imagine that they have to behave like the henchmen of the Lord of Death, but to practice Dharma like that is totally mistaken. 

玛吉·拉准说：

Machik Labdron says:

无始以来，恶灵就活在无止境的幻境与痛苦的漩涡中，这是由于他们自己的恶业与不吉祥的状况所带来的，驱使他们在其中如风一般地打转而不由自主。当他们死亡时，无可避免地就堕入恶道深渊。我以悲心之钩，钩住这些恶灵，而以自己的鲜肉与鲜血作为食物供养他们，藉由菩提心的慈爱与大悲，转化他们对一切事物的看法，并让他们成为我的弟子。对我而言，这些恶灵是我以悲心之钩所摄受的眷属，但是未来“修断法的专家”，会自夸杀害、鞭打、驱逐了他们，那就是假的断法教义、魔罗的教法在传播的征兆了。

Since time without beginning, harmful spirits have lived in a ceaseless whirl of hallucination and suffering, brought on by their own evil actions and by inauspicious circumstances which drive them like a wind. When they die they inevitably plunge to the very depths of the lower realms. With the hook of compassion I catch those evil spirits. Offering them my warm flesh and blood as food, through the kindness and compassion of bodhicitta I transform the way they see everything and make them my disciples. Those malignant spirits are for me the prize that I hold with the hook of compassion – but the great adepts of Chö of the future will boast of killing them, casting them out or beating them. That will be a sign that false doctrines of Chö, the teachings of demons, are spreading.

断法的意义

The Meaning of Chö

在修断法时，所谓要摧毁的「灵」，并不是在外界，而在我们的内心。我们生起幻相，感知有外在于自己的有形之灵，所有这些都是由于尚未去除相信于「我」与「自我」的自我幻觉。

The so-called spirits to be destroyed in Chö practice are not anywhere outside. They are within us. All the hallucinations that we perceive in the form of spirits outside ourselves arise because we have not eradicated the conceit of believing in an “I” and a “self”.

我们称为「灵」的东西，事实上就是自我幻觉之魔，也就是认为有一个自我的信念。

This thing we call a spirit is in fact the demon of conceit, the belief in a self.

因此，所有的断法修行，都是要切除相信有个自我的信念，而这正是一切愚痴与染污显相的根源。

All Chö practices are therefore to cut through the belief in a self, which is the root of all ignorance and deluded perceptions. 

外在的魔罗只是染污的显相，只要你不能摧毁具有自我的信念，想要杀死他们，是无法置他们于死地的。鞭打对他们不会有效果，践踏也压不碎他们，驱逐也无法令他们消失。除非你拔除其根，也就是去除内在的自我幻觉，否则想要去除这如幻之灵的外在显现，就会如同不消灭火种，却希望去除烟雾般地不可能。

External demons are just deluded perceptions, and as long as you do not destroy your belief in a self, trying to kill them will not put them to death. Beating them will have no effect on them. Trampling them will not crush them. Chasing after them will not make them go away. Unless you sever the root, which is the conceit within you, you will no more be able to annihilate the illusory spirits which are its external manifestation than get rid of smoke without putting out the fire.

所谓「断法」，是根除内在任何有魔罗的信念，而不是去杀害、击打、驱逐、践踏或摧毁它们。我们必须了解，要摧毁的东西不存在于外在，而是存在于我们的内在。

What is called Chö is to eradicate any belief in demons from within, not to kill them, thrash them, cast them out, crush and destroy them. We must understand that the thing to be destroyed is not outside; it is within us.
