25/05 《正念的奇迹》// 《The Miracle of Mindfulness》 /一行禅师
什么是正念？在看这本书之前，在过去几年，我已经看过许多与之相关的书：《禅者的初心》、《洞见》《十分钟冥想》，自己也坚持过一段时间的冥想练习。断断续续，其实也多半一知半解。
What is mindfulness? Before reading this book, I had already read many related books over the past few years: The Zen of Beginners, Insight, Ten-Minute Meditation, and I have also practiced meditation for a while. However, it was often sporadic and somewhat half-understood.
这次看到这本书，才有了些豁然开朗的感觉。在这本书里，法师用较大的篇幅说清了一件事情：什么是正念。
正念 不等于 冥想，也不等于 积极的念头，正念是“将感知和觉察集中到当下”，是注意力的移动和灌入，对当下的实相保有觉知。
This time, upon reading this book, I had a sense of enlightenment. The author spent a considerable amount of space clarifying one thing: What is mindfulness.
Mindfulness is not equal to meditation, nor does it mean positive thoughts. It is “focusing perception and awareness on the present moment,” a shift and infusion of attention, maintaining awareness of the current reality.
例如，专注于吃橘子的每一瓣，才是真的吃橘子。
在事儿上，专注于工作，时刻保持警觉和清醒，准备好应对任何可能发生的状况，然后随机应变。
不带杂念的，全身心的，冷静地投入到当下这一刻。
就像是一颗石子，沉入湖底，湖面上不再泛起波澜。
For example, truly eating an orange by focusing on each segment.
In work, focusing on the work, staying alert and clear, ready to respond to any possible situations, and adapting spontaneously.
Wholeheartedly and calmly immersing oneself in the present moment without distraction, like a stone sinking into a lake, causing no ripples on the surface.
而我在读这本书的过程中，反复所想到的就是，我在徒步中全神贯注地走过的每一条难走的路。
这对我的认知来说，有突破。原来正念不是放下一切思绪的空，而是在全心平静的“在”。
During my reading, what kept recurring in my mind was my experience of walking carefully along difficult paths during a trek.
This was a breakthrough for my understanding. I realized that mindfulness is not about emptying the mind, but about being completely present and peaceful.
记得在高黎贡山徒步，看完保山茜过桥。2根木头被铁丝绑在一起，架在石头上就成了过去的桥，桥上是瀑布，桥下是水流。
向导很迅速的就通过了到达对面，接下来是我。走了两步就发现脚被绊住，应该是冲锋裤的绳扣挂在铁丝上，绊了一下让我已经有点不稳，只能赶紧的用登山杖来保持平衡。缓缓地退回去，挪动裤子，摆脱铁丝。没问题了，再向前继续通过。
I remember hiking in GaoliGong Mountain. Two logs tied with wire served as a makeshift bridge over a waterfall, with flowing water below.
The guide quickly crossed first, then it was my turn. I took a few steps and found my foot caught—probably the drawstring of my hiking pants caught on the wire. I stumbled and became unsteady, so I had to quickly use my trekking poles to maintain balance. I slowly retreated, adjusted my pants, and then continued crossing.
在缓缓退回的那几秒，我的心也好像是沉入了湖底。没有恐慌、也没有想法，全部的感受力都注入到了右脚，绳扣和铁子。脚在牢牢抓住鞋，手紧紧抓着仗，默默挪动。平静、专注地感受与木桥间微妙的平衡，将腿抽出来。那个时刻，我完全地属于了那个当下。
In those few quiet seconds of retreat, my mind felt like it sank into the lake’s bottom—without panic or thoughts, all my senses were focused on my right foot, the wire, and the tree branch.
My foot gripped the shoe firmly, my hand gripped the pole tightly, and I moved silently. I was calmly and attentively balancing between feeling the subtle connection with the wooden bridge, removing my foot.
That moment, I was fully present in the now.
危险且紧张的时刻，平静的心和对自我的控制，帮助我脱离了那一刻的险境。
这一次体验是好还是坏呢？被绊住的那一刻来看，那一定糟透了，因为不留神就可能倒在水流中，可能被冲下去，总之很麻烦。但现在来看，被绊住让我有了正念的体会，这种感受牢牢的烙在我的心中，可以视为是高黎贡山在离别时所赠与我的礼物。不同时刻、不同想法的分别心给了他们概念。但“法无定性”。
In that tense, dangerous moment, calmness and self-control helped me escape that danger.
Was that experience good or bad? From the perspective of the moment of being caught, it was definitely terrible. Any mistake could have led me into the water. But now, looking back, being caught gave me a genuine experience of mindfulness, a gift that the mountain gave me as I was leaving.
Different moments and thoughts give rise to different concepts. But “Dharma is not fixed in nature.”
从徒步到工作到生活，那么都是一样的。在好做的业务，不好做的业务，有业绩指标的压力，没有业绩指标的压力。最重要的时刻也永远只有一个，那就是现在。这是唯一能够完全主导的时间。
能做什么？在现在这一刻，基于现状、事实，能做什么就去做什么，需要做什么就去做什么。
就像是在徒步的险路中，踏过了的每一步。
From trekking to work to life—everywhere is the same. Whether for easy or difficult tasks, under pressure from performance goals or not, the most important moment is always one: the present. This is the only time we can fully control.
What can I do? At this moment, based on the current situation and facts, do what I can and what needs to be done.
Just like walking each step on a treacherous path during a trek.
