什麼是冥想?
冥想意味著沒有思想的狀態。當您的思想中沒有想法時,只有純粹的意識和警覺。這是純潔幸福和幸福的狀態。當心靈是空的,沒有分散的思想和各種模式時,它是一種純意識的狀態。冥想者成為心靈所有活動的觀察者。思想可能會來去去去,但觀察者或冥想者意識到他或她完全脫離了思想。 有幾種冥想類型? 有數百種冥想,但大致可分為兩種類型的冥想-主動和被動。 主動冥想 主動冥想是一種提倡身體主動運動然後保持沉默的風格。活躍的冥想有很多,許多活躍的冥想都是由印度神秘主義者Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh(後來稱為Osho)創建的。他提倡大約100種冥想技巧。他認為,涉及體育活動的冥想風格對現代世界更為實用。 主動冥想是分階段進行的練習,它可以幫助使心靈平靜並提高對世界的認識。 奧修的一些著名的主動冥想技巧是 奧修最著名的主動冥想是 OSHO動態冥想 OSHO昆達利尼冥想 OSHO Nataraj冥想 OSHO曼陀羅冥想 OSHO旋轉冥想 OSHO無量級冥想 OSHO查克拉聽起來沉思 OSHO脈輪呼吸冥想 除了這些奧修主動冥想之外,日常生活中的任何活動,例如步行,工作,飲食,游泳,跳舞等,都可以是主動冥想。 所有積極冥想的主要目的是體驗冥想狀態,不體驗思想狀態。當一個人處於冥想狀態時,他或她精力充沛,充滿熱情,他或她的表現會不斷提高。 為什麼要主動冥想? 之所以需要主動冥想,是因為在這個快進的時代,每個人都如此匆忙和緊張,沒有身體有時間放鬆,每個人都跑得如此快,他們幾乎忘記了什麼是和平,什麼是沉默。 為了體驗沉默和內心的和平,需要有力的活動,以便人們可以輕鬆地放鬆自己的緊張感,並體驗這一刻的沉默和美麗。 這被稱為被動的,因為它涉及到以平靜,坐姿的姿勢退出自己,以達到一種冥想狀態,這可以幫助我們積極生活。 被動冥想 被動冥想是指那些不涉及身體主動運動的人,只需使用我們的想像力,意圖,警惕的呼吸和誦經等即可。 所有被動冥想技術的目的是使思想從動搖和分散注意力的思想中靜下來,逐漸使思想變得純淨而平靜。有很多被動的冥想技巧,包括 Zazen,內觀,正念,愛心,咒語,TM,瑜伽冥想(任何類型),自我詢問,引導冥想等。 最著名的奧修被動冥想技巧是 奧修內觀禪修 奧修·納達布拉瑪(Osho Nadabrahma)冥想 奧修·查克拉聲音冥想 奧修·古里香卡禪修 奧修·德瓦萬尼(Osho Devavani)冥想 |
WHAT IS MEDITATION AND HOW MANY TYPES OF MEDITATION ARE THERE?
Meditation is a quality of being Meditation is a quality you bring into action. It’s not a specific posture, it’s either you do it or it’s meditation-it’s not you sitting in a specific posture, siddhasana (a yoga position), keeping your spine straight, keeping your eyes closed, looking at the tip of your nose or watching your breath, you I thought this was meditation-no, it was designed for beginners... Did you know that meditation and medicine come from the same root? Meditation is a medicine and its use is only temporary. Once you learn its qualities, then you do not need to do any specific meditation, then meditation has extended to your life. Only when you are quiet 24 hours a day can you arrive, you have arrived. Even sleeping is meditation. Osho, The Sun Rises in the Evening, Talk #7 Meditation is a death "Meditation is a kind of death-the death of all your faces now. Of course there will be a resurrection, and that will be a completely new, fresh original nature, you don't even notice it is hidden deep in you. It's just a moment when you slip out of your personality and touch your individuality. It happens in poetry, music, and dance. But because it only happens in a small moment, you are not afraid; you always come back. In meditation, once you enter, you enter. After that, even when you are resurrected, you are a completely different person. The old personality cannot be found anywhere. You must start your life from ABC again, and you must learn everything with new eyes and a completely new heart. That is why meditation creates fear. " Osho, Rinzai: Master of the Irrational, Talk #1 Meditation is enough "The world you are living in is a very unreasonable, almost insanity world. If you can do just meditation, you have done more than modern people can expect. And your meditation It will be great. As long as you keep saying: "Great Father!", there will never be any cliffs in the meditation. You don't have to remember "Amen"-no need. Meditation will slowly, slowly transform into your enlightenment. One day you suddenly became alert, where is the darkness? Where are the thoughts that have been rushing? Where did the mind go? Suddenly you are completely hollow like a bamboo; but your hollow is not empty-it is full of joy and joy. You will dance without any reason, you will sing without any reason, those songs you have never composed, and those dances you have never learned. They just come out of your consciousness spontaneously. That is enlightenment. But don't treat it as a goal. Meditation is enough. Everything else will follow by itself. " Osho, The Great Pilgrimage: From Here to Here, Talk #9 The mind is of no use to meditation "The mind is of no use to meditation. It doesn’t know anything about meditation, and it’s essentially impossible for the mind to reach meditation. As I said before, darkness cannot touch light because darkness is just a kind of Not here--the same goes for the mind. The mind is absent in meditation. Once meditation appears within you, the mind will not be found anywhere. " Osho, The Great Zen Master Ta Hui, Talk #11 Meditation and love are the same experience Osho, Love and meditation seem to be opposite poles. Could you please talk to us about how to grow in meditation and intimacy with your lover. "You don’t know what love is, and you don’t know what meditation is. Therefore, you are still troubled by this question. For you, love and meditation seem to be opposites-I really want to know where you got it. Come on that idea? If love and meditation are opposite polarities, then there is nothing in the world that can approach other things. But I know that all traditional religions have always held the same fallacy. The meditator has been hiding in the mountains in order to escape love, and those who are in love will never care about meditation, because they know that their love life will end if they meditate. It is already one of the longest fallacies of living with humans. Love is a kind of peace, a kind of joy, a kind of peace, a kind of blessing between two people. But because there are two people, sometimes they don't match. Meditation and tranquility, peace and joy are the same experience-but experience it individually. But if two meditators love each other, then things will reach the extreme. If a meditator can reach a certain peak in his joy, in his tranquility, two meditators who love each other can become an infinite support that flies toward the unknown with each other. Their love can become a nourishment to their meditation, and vice versa, their meditation can become a nourishment to their love. The point is that I am different from all past religions. They let love and meditation become parallel lines of opposite poles that never meet. For me a meditative person must be infinitely affectionate. " Osho, The Golden Future, Talk #31 No skill required for meditation Meditation happens beyond the mind. No technique can surpass the mind. But there is a big misunderstanding in the scientific community, and it has a certain basis. The basis of all misunderstandings is that when a person's nature is in a state of meditation, it creates a certain kind of fluctuation in the mind. These fluctuations can be created from the outside through technical methods. But these fluctuations will not create meditation-this is where the misunderstanding lies. Meditation creates these fluctuations; it is the mind reflecting the inner world. You cannot see what is happening inside. But you can see what is happening in your mind. There are sophisticated instruments in modern times... We can judge what kind of fluctuations appear when a person sleeps, what kind of fluctuations appear when a person is dreaming, and what kinds of fluctuations appear when a person is meditating. The point is not to sit quietly, the point is not to chant a mantra. The point is to understand the subtle operation of the mind. When you understand these operations of the mind, a great awareness will arise in you, and this awareness does not come from the mind. That awareness will arise in your nature, in your soul, in your consciousness. " But by creating these fluctuations, you cannot create situations—because these fluctuations are just signs and indicators. It is really useful; you can study them. But remember that there are no shortcuts to meditation, and no mechanical devices can help. In fact, meditation does not require skills-scientific or unscientific. Meditation is just an understanding. Osho, Beyond Enlightenment, Talk #29 Being with yourself is meditation Once you are inside, meditation has already begun. Meditation means the ability to be alone happily, the ability to be with yourself happily, and the ability to stay with yourself. Being with yourself is meditation. There is no need for others in meditation; the joy of being alone is not lonely misery, it is meditation... Meditation in the East is not as understood in the West. In the West, meditation means meditation: meditation, meditation, truth, meditation... Meditation has a completely different meaning in the East, which is just the opposite of the meaning in the West. Meditation in the East means that there is no object in the mind and no content in the mind; it is not meditation on something but letting go of everything; there is neither this nor that. Meditation is the emptying of all your own contents. Stillness appears when there are no thoughts moving within you; that stillness is meditation. There is not even a ripple on the surface of the lake of your consciousness; that quiet lake, completely still, is meditation. And in that meditation you will know what truth is, you will know what love is, and you will know what divinity is. " Osho, The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol. 6, Talk #1 Music and meditation should be combined "For me, music and meditation are two aspects of the same phenomenon. Without music, meditation lacks something; without music, meditation is a bit dull and lifeless. However, without meditation, music is just noise── Harmony, but noisy. Without meditation, music is a form of entertainment. Without music, meditation becomes more and more negative and tends to be death-oriented. Therefore I insist that music and meditation should be combined. That will add a new dimension to the two. Both will be enriched by it. " Osho, The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol. 1, Talk #2 Chasing meditation "When I use the word'inner journey', I just mean that you have seen one aspect of your life journey called'outside', and now try to see another aspect of your journey called'inner'. You Always chasing money, now chasing meditation. You have been chasing power, now chasing God. Both are chasing. Once you start chasing meditation, then one day I will tell you: "Now let go of meditation. Now Stop chasing." And real meditation happens when you stop chasing." Osho, The Wisdom of the Sands, Vol. 2, Talk #3 Prayer is a result of true meditation "Kabil will suggest meditation. The Buddha has already suggested meditation. I suggest meditation. Meditation is a different approach: it has nothing to do with God, it has a close relationship with you and your mind. It must be within you. Create a tranquility, a deep total tranquility. In that total tranquility you will begin to feel the presence of God. Prayer is a result of true meditation. Only a meditator can pray, because he knows, because he feels, because the presence of God at this moment is not just a debate, not a logical event, but something experienced, something being lived out. Then prayer is no longer a complaint. Then prayer is a kind of surrender, then prayer is pure love—no desire to cling to it, no restriction. It can only be totally grateful. Let prayer follow meditation. You meditate. Meditation prepares your mind and it will clean you up. It will clear your mind, it will throw out all the rubbish that has been carried on your head for centuries, for centuries; it will prepare space for prayer to happen. Meditation is like preparing the foundation for a rose garden: prayer is like a rose bush. First you must prepare the foundation, you must clean up the weeds, you must change the soil, and you must throw away all the rocks. Meditation is preparing the flower bed. And only in a prepared flower bed can you grow roses. Otherwise the weeds will cover your roses and the weeds will exploit the entire soil, and your roses will not grow much, they will be barren roses. And if there are many stones in the soil, the growth of roses will be hindered. First prepare the foundation, and then the prayer will happen automatically. Prayer is something you cannot do. Meditation is something you can do because it has to do with your mind. " Osho, The Revolution, Talk #2 Science is thinking, religion is meditation "Failure of thinking is the awakening of meditation. Science is thinking, religion is meditation. If you think about God, it is philosophy, it is not religion. If you live out God, then it is religion. If you are looking at a lotus and thinking about it, then it is science, philosophy, and aesthetics. But if you just look at the lotus... this look is pure, not contaminated by any thoughts, and the lotus is not seen as a problem, but just a beauty to be experienced... You are there, the lotus is also There, there is nothing in between—only emptiness, nothing standing between you and the flower—it is meditation. Then the flower is not outside of you, because nothing is divided into inside and outside. Then the lotus is in you from a certain angle, and you are in the lotus from a certain angle. You melt into each other; the divisions are gone, the boundaries are blurred. The lotus starts to touch your heart, and your heart starts to touch the lotus. An intimate exchange happened. It is meditation. " Osho, I Say Unto You, Vol. 1, Talk #10 Meditation is not concentration "Meditation is not concentration. In concentration, there is one I am focusing on, and there is an object being focused on. There is duality. In meditation there is no one inside and nothing outside. It is not concentration. There is no distinction between the inside and the outside. The inside flows continuously to the outside, and the outside flows continuously into the inside. The distinction, boundaries, boundaries, no longer exist. Inside is outside, outside is inside; it is a non-duality Consciousness. Concentration is a dualistic consciousness: that is why concentration creates fatigue; that is why you feel exhausted when you focus. And you can’t concentrate 24 hours a day, you will have to take a break. Concentration will never become your natural nature. Meditation does not feel tired, and meditation does not exhaust you. Meditation can become a round-the-clock affair—day after day, year after year. It can become eternal. It is relaxation itself. " Osho, The Heart Sutra, Talk #7 You can see it now "Meditation is an insight that all goals are false. Meditation is an understanding that desires cannot go anywhere. Seeing those... and this kind of seeing is not something you can get from me or from Buddha or from Jesus. WHAT IS MEDITATION ? Meditation means state of no thought.

靜心是一種存在的品質 靜心是你帶入行動中的一種品質。它不是特定的姿勢,不是你這樣做就是靜心 - 不是你用一個特定的姿勢坐著,siddhasana(一種瑜伽體位),保持脊椎挺直,眼睛保持閉上、眼睛注視鼻尖或觀照你的呼吸,你以為這就是靜心 - 不,這是為了初學者所設計的… 你知道靜心(meditation )和醫藥(medicine)來自同一個字根嗎?靜心是一種藥物,它的使用只是暫時的。一旦你學習到它的品質,那麼你不需要做任何特定的靜心,那麼靜心已經擴及你的生活。只有當你一天靜天24小時,你才能到達,你已經抵達。即使睡覺也是靜心。 Osho, The Sun Rises in the Evening, Talk #7 靜心是一種死亡 「靜心是一種死亡──你現在的一切面貌的死亡。當然有一種復活會出現,而那會是一個完全展新、新鮮的原始本性,你甚至未覺察到它深藏在你裡面。 只是一小片刻你溜出你的人格之外而碰觸到你的個體性,它發生在詩詞中、在音樂中,在舞蹈中。但是因為它僅發生在一個小小的片刻,所以你並不害怕;你總是回來了。 在靜心中,一旦你進入了,你就是進入了。之後,甚至當你復活過來時你是一個全然不同的人了。舊的人格無法在任何地方再被找到了。你必須再次從ABC開始你的生命,你必須帶著全新的眼睛、帶著一顆完全展新的心學習每件事。那就是為什麼靜心創造了恐懼。」 Osho, Rinzai: Master of the Irrational, Talk #1 靜心就足夠了 「你現在所生活的世界是一個非常不合理,幾乎是精神錯亂的世界。如果你可以做到只是靜心的話,你已經做了比現代人所能期待的還要更多了。而你的靜心將會很棒。只要一直不斷地說:『偉大的天父啊!』,在靜心中就絕不會出現任何懸崖。你不必記得『阿門』──不需要。 靜心會慢慢地,慢慢地轉變成你的成道。有一天你突然警覺到,那個黑暗到哪裡去了?那些一直不停急奔的思緒跑到哪裡去了?頭腦跑去哪裡了?突然地你就完全像一枝竹子般地中空;但你的中空並不是空──它充滿喜悅和充滿歡慶。你會沒有任何理由地舞蹈,你會沒有任何理由地歌唱,那些歌是你從未譜曲過的,那些舞是你從未學過的。它們只是自發地在你的意識中冒出來。 那就是成道。但不要把它當成一個目標。 靜心就足夠了。其他每件事會自己跟著來。」 Osho, The Great Pilgrimage: From Here to Here, Talk #9 頭腦對靜心一點用處也沒有 「頭腦對靜心一點用處也沒有。它一點也不知道靜心這回事,而且對於頭腦想接觸到靜心是本質上的不可能。就像我之前說的,黑暗無法接觸到光,因為黑暗只是一種不在──頭腦也是一樣。 頭腦是靜心的不在。一旦靜心在你內在出現,頭腦在任何地方都不會被找到。」 Osho, The Great Zen Master Ta Hui, Talk #11 靜心和愛是相同的經驗 奧修, 愛和靜心似乎是相反的兩極。可否請你向我們談論如何在靜心中以及與愛人的親密中成長。 「你既不知道愛是什麼,你也不知道靜心是什麼。所以,你仍舊被這個問題所困擾。對你來說,愛和靜心似乎是相反的兩極──我很想知道你從哪裡得來那種想法?如果愛和靜心是相反的兩極,那麼在世界上就再也沒有任何事能夠接近其他事了。但是我知道所有傳統宗教也都一直持著相同的謬論。 靜心者一直都躲到山上為了要逃開愛,而相戀的人絕不會關心靜心,因為他們知道如果他們靜心的話他們的愛情生活將會結束。它已經是與人類生活在一起最長久的謬論之一。愛是兩個人之間的一種寧靜、一種喜悅、一種平靜、一種賜福。但是因為存在有兩人,有時候他們並不相配。 靜心和寧靜、和平和喜樂是相同經驗──而是單獨經驗它。但是如果兩個靜心者相愛,那麼事情會達到最極致。如果一個靜心者能夠在他的喜樂中、在他的寧靜中到達某個顛峰,兩個彼此相愛的靜心者能夠變成彼此飛向未知的一種無限支持。他們的愛可以變成對他們的靜心的一種滋養,反之亦然,他們的靜心可以變成對他們的愛的一種滋養。 這個要點就是我不同於所有過去的宗教的地方。他們讓愛和靜心變成相反兩極、永不相遇的平行線。 對我來說一個靜心的人必定是無限深情的。」 Osho, The Golden Future, Talk #31 靜心不需技巧 靜心超越頭腦而發生。沒有任何技巧可以超越頭腦。 但是在科學界有一種很大的誤解出現,而它有某種特定的基礎。所有誤解的基礎就是:當一個人的本性處在靜心的狀態下,它在頭腦中創造某種特定的波動。這些波動可以透過技術方法從外面被創造出來。但這些波動將不會創造靜心──這就是誤解所在。 靜心創造這些波動;它是頭腦在反映內在世界。你不能夠看見內在什麼事正在發生。但是你能夠看見在頭腦中什麼事正在發生。現代有精細的儀器……我們能夠判斷當一個人睡覺時有哪種波動出現,當一個在作夢時有哪種波動出現,當一個人在靜心時有哪種波動出現。 重點並不在於安靜坐著,重點並不在於唱頌一種咒語。重點在於了解頭腦的精微運作。當你了解頭腦的這些運作時,一種巨大的覺知會在你裡面升起,這種覺知並不是出自頭腦。那種覺知會在你的本性中、在你的靈魂中、在你的意識中升起。」 但是藉由創造這些波動,你不能夠創造情境──因為這些波動只是一些徵候,一些指標。它的確很有用;你能夠研究它們。但是記住通往靜心是沒有捷徑的,沒有任何機械裝置有任何幫助。事實上,靜心不需技巧──科學的或非科學的。靜心只是一種了解。 Osho, Beyond Enlightenment, Talk #29 與你自己在一起就是靜心 一旦你轉入內在,靜心就已經開始。靜心表示愉悅地保持單獨的能力,快樂地與你自己在一起的能力,持續與你自己相伴的能力。與你自己在一起就是靜心。在靜心中不需要其他人;單獨的喜悅,不是孤單的悲慘,那就是靜心…… 在東方的靜心並不像是在西方所了解的那樣。在西方,靜心表示沈思冥想:靜心神,靜心真理,靜心愛…… 在東方靜心有一種完全不同的意義,與西方的意義剛好相反。在東方靜心表示在頭腦中沒有客體,在頭腦中沒有內容物;並不是靜心在某件事上而是放下每件事;既沒有這個也沒有那個。靜心是清空你自己的一切內容物。當你的內在沒有任何思緒在移動時靜止便出現了;那個靜止就是靜心。在你意識的湖面上連一點波紋都沒有;那個寧靜的湖水,完全靜止,那就是靜心。而處在那種靜心中你將會知道真理是什麼,你將會知道愛是什麼,你將會知道神性是什麼。」 Osho, The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol. 6, Talk #1 音樂和靜心應該結合在一起 「對我而言,音樂和靜心是同個現象的兩個面向。而沒有音樂,靜心缺少了某種東西;沒有音樂,靜心就有點單調乏味、沒有生氣。然而沒有靜心,音樂只是噪音──和諧,但是吵雜。沒有靜心,音樂是一種娛樂。沒有音樂,靜心變得愈來愈負面,傾向於以死亡為導向。 因此我堅持音樂和靜心應該結合在一起。那會讓兩者加入一種新向度。兩者都會由於它而變得豐富。」 Osho, The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha, Vol. 1, Talk #2 追逐靜心 「當我使用『內在旅程』這個字眼時,我只是表示你已經看到在你的生命旅程中的一個面向叫做『外在』,現在試著看到旅程的另一個面向叫做『內在』。你一直都在追逐金錢,現在追逐靜心。你一直都在追逐權力,現在追逐神。兩者都是追逐。一旦你開始追逐靜心,那麼有一天我將會告訴你:『現在也放掉靜心。現在停止追逐。』而當你停止追逐時真正的靜心就發生了。」 Osho, The Wisdom of the Sands, Vol. 2, Talk #3 祈禱是真正靜心的一種結果 「卡比兒將會建議靜心,佛陀已經建議靜心,我建議靜心。靜心是一種不同的途徑:它與神一點關係也沒有,它與你和你的頭腦有密切的關係。它必須在你內在創造一種寧靜,一種深刻的全然寧靜。在那種全然寧靜中你將會開始感覺到神的在。 祈禱是真正靜心的一種結果。唯有一個靜心者能夠祈禱,因為他知道,因為他感覺,因為此刻神的在並不只是一種辯論,不是一個邏輯事件,而是某種被經驗的事,某種被活出來的事。那麼祈禱就不再是一種抱怨。那麼祈禱就是一種臣服,那麼祈禱就是純粹的愛──沒有欲望要執著於它,沒有制約。它只有全然的感激。 讓祈禱跟隨靜心而來。你靜心。靜心把你的心準備好,它將會清理你。它將會清理你的思緒,它將會把幾世紀、好幾世以來一直被攜帶在你頭部的所有垃圾丟出去;它將會準備空間讓祈禱可以發生。靜心就像為一座玫瑰花圃在準備地基:祈禱就像一叢玫瑰花。首先你必須準備地基,你必須清理雜草,你必須變換土壤,你必須把所有石頭丟開。 靜心是準備花床。而唯有在一座準備好的花床上你才能種植玫瑰。否則雜草將會覆蓋你的玫瑰而且雜草將會剝削整片土壤,而你的玫瑰將不會生長很多,它們將會是貧瘠的玫瑰。而且如果有許多石頭在土壤中玫瑰的成長將會受到防礙。 首先準備好地基,然後祈禱會自己自動發生。祈禱是某種你無法做出來的事。靜心是某種你能夠做的事,因為它與你的頭腦有關。」 Osho, The Revolution, Talk #2 科學是思考,宗教是靜心 「思考的失敗就是靜心的覺醒。 科學是思考,宗教是靜心。如果你思考關於神,它是哲學,它不是宗教。如果你把神活出來,那麼它是宗教。 如果你正看著一朵蓮花並思考關於它的事,那麼它是科學,哲學,美學。但是如果你只是看著蓮花……這個看是純粹的,沒有被任何思想所沾染,而蓮花並沒有被看作是一個問題,而只是一種要被經驗的美……你在那裡,蓮花也在那裡,在兩者之間並沒有任何事物──只有空,沒有任何事物正站在你和花之間──它就是靜心。 那麼花並不是在你的外面,因為沒有任何事物被劃分成裡面和外面。那麼蓮花以某個角度來說是在你裡面,而且你以某個角度來說是在蓮花裡面。你們融化進入彼此;劃分不見了,界線變得模糊了。蓮花開始觸動你的心,而你的心開始觸動蓮花。親密交流發生了。它是靜心。」 Osho, I Say Unto You, Vol. 1, Talk #10 靜心不是專注 「靜心不是專注。在專注當中有一個我在專注著,而且有一個客體正被專注在上面。有二元性存在。在靜心當中沒有任何人在裡面也沒有任何東西在外面。它不是專注。在裡面和外面之間沒有區分。裡面持續不斷地流到外面,外面持續不斷地流進裡面。區分,界線,邊界,不再存在。裡面就是外面,外面就是裡面;它是一種非二元性的意識。 專注是一種二元性的意識:那就是為什麼專注創造了疲累;那就是為什麼當你專注時你感到精疲力竭。而你無法廿四小時專注,你將必須放個假休息一會。專注絕不會變成你的自然本性。靜心不會感到疲累,靜心不會讓你精疲力竭。靜心能夠變成一種廿四小時的事──日復一日,年復一年。它能夠變成永恆。它就是放鬆本身。」 Osho, The Heart Sutra, Talk #7 |
