生命中的一些事情是注定要发生的，如果你所希望的现在还没有出现或者还未如你所愿，一定是时机不到。我一直坚信这一点。 Some things in life are destined to happen. If what you want hasn't appeared or life is not the way you want it to be, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. This I firmly believe.
时间进入2016年，忽然就有一些朋友和学员经常在我耳边碎碎念，希望我能够把自己的心灵成长过程记录下来，分享给更多的人。听到的建议多了，我便有些心动。能够给人信心、给人欢喜一直是我多年的愿望，现在有了大家的支持和鼓励，看来是实现这个小心愿的时候了。 Ever since the start of 2016, some of my friends and students have been asking me to record the journey of my spiritual growth to share with more people. Their frequent urging does get to me. It's always been my wish to give people confidence and joy. Now with their support and encouragement, it seems that the time to realize this aspiration has come.
在教育培训行业工作十八年，与众多学员在不同的时空因缘下见面交流。这样的缘分来源于他们对心灵成长的需求，也就是他们要发现真我回归真我的愿望。在繁忙的现代生活中，假我戴着微笑的面具到处周旋着，掩盖着虚伪、内疚、恐惧…….然而世间万象，人生中的各种境遇，都是由假我的信念系统创造出来的。迷失真我，便心随物转，“伤春悲秋，”“快乐着你的快乐，追逐着你的追逐”；了知真我，明心见性，便能“不以物喜，不以己悲”了。正所谓“一切唯心造”“心外无法”。凡圣间的唯一差别，就在于是否有意识、有毅力、有目标来修正这颗心了。 During my eighteen years of work in the training industry, I've met with many participants in different time and places. These meetings are due to their spiritual growth needs, or their desire to find and return to the true self. In the busy modern life, the false self goes around wearing a fake smile, hiding hypocrisy, guilt and fear. And every phenomenon of that world is created by the belief system of the false self. Once lost in touch with true self, we're bound to get on the emotional roller coaster, letting our moods dictated by circumstances and other people. But if you get to know the true self, you won't be subject to external stuff. You mind will be in charge of everything. The only difference between the saints and the ordinary is whether they have the awareness and perseverance to correct the false self.
尽管物质极大丰富，信息交流迅速，文化多元，但是有很多因为精神上缺失而引发的社会问题，我们还需要什么呢？我以为是慈悲、包容、爱的表达、心灵的成长、真我的重现…… Despite great material wealth, rapid exchange of information and cultural diversity, there are a lot of social problems caused by spiritual misguidance. What else do we need? I think it is compassion, tolerance, expression of love, spiritual growth, and the reappearance of the true self.
“佛说一切法，为治一切心；如无一切心，何用一切法。”当我们觉悟这颗心，找到真我，我们的生命将会变得和平而且自在，生命中所有的一切都会自然而然地圆满达成，我们所需要的一切都将会提供给我们，只要我们警醒于自心自性疗愈真我，就能够健康而自在的生活。因为《我是一切的根源》 When we've come to understand and found the true self, our life will become peaceful and free; everything in life will naturally have a great ending; whatever we want will be available to us. As long as we listen to our true self, we'll have a healthy and comfortable life, because the true self is the answer to everything.
如何使用这本书 How to Use This Book
首先，这不是一本一次性读完的书。因为它完全不同于其他著述，没有长篇的理论阐述，而是一本指导性手册。它通过简练的语言提醒我们一些我们自性具足，然而却常常被忽视的东西，而这些又恰好决定了我们要过一个怎样的人生。所以这本指导书的效用和力量来自每一次的阅读，和对每日功课的警醒。 First of all, this is not a book to read in one sitting because it is completely different from other writing. It has no lengthy theoretical exposition. It's a guidebook. Through the concise language it reminds us of some innate, yet often overlooked things which happen to determine what kind of life we have. So the benefits of this guidebook come from each reading and the daily homework.
通过对这三本书的阅读和使用，我们会经历存在、分享和体验这三个过程。首先。上册会带领我们因循着观照内心的方法，进入一个回归真我的世界。在这里。一切我们所渴望的，都已经完美地为我们提供了。我们只需要通过阅读和练习，来感受它们的真实存在。因为这些都是事物本来状态的自然反应，是我们来自真我、本心的爱的彰显，但是曾被假我带来的混乱取代了，现在我们用心找回他，就是所说的奇迹了。其次，当我们使用中册，会发现每天接收到更多的奇迹，于是分享也越发变得无比快乐。分享的过程，可以带走担心、忧虑、内疚甚至愤怒的情绪，加速了回归真我的进程，增强了自己爱的力量。再次，进入下册，我们只体验喜悦。在人生的路途中，我们在某些时刻遗忘了生命的本意，走上了鲜有快乐的道路。然而真我并不能通过苦难而日渐强大。现在我们已经记起和平和喜悦是真我的意愿，爱是真我的声音。 When reading these three books, we will go through three stages: finding, sharing and experiencing. First of all, volume I will lead us, by looking into our heart, to the world of the true self where everything we desire has been given to us. We only need to read and practice to feel its presence. That's how things are supposed to be in the first place. But these manifestations of the true self and love are replaced by the confusion brought about by the false self. Now we find it back with our heart, which is a miracle. Second, when we read volume II, we'll find that every day we get more miracles, so sharing becomes extremely fun. By sharing we dispel fear, anxiety, guilt or even anger, accelerate the return to the true self, and enhance the power of our love. And thirdly, when we read Volume III, we experience nothing but joy. On the journey of life, we forget the intention of life at some point and embark on a road lack of happiness. But the true self doesn't get more powerful by suffering. Now we have to remember that peace and joy are the wishes of the true self and love its voice.
在此三个过程中，我们需要明确几个概念： In these three stages, we need to clarify a few concepts:
假我：不是与生俱来的，而是在成长的过程中因为社会的集体意识的影响而形成的一种负面的信念系统。它表现为忽略自己的情绪；忽略自己的直觉；指责、预先评判他人或事物；逃避当下；从外界寻找自己；把需求当做爱；拒绝变化；限制自我表达；强迫结果，控制一切，直至自己要的结果出现；排斥他人观点；制造故事，根据自己的经验对事物做出解释，但往往不是事实；过度反应等等。 The false self: It is not an innate, but a negative belief system shaped by the impact of the collective consciousness of the society when we grow up. The manifestations are: ignoring our emotions and intuition; criticizing and judging people or things; escaping the moment; seeking self from the outside world; mistaking demand for love; resisting changes; limiting self-expression; controlling everything and demanding desired results; rejection the ideas of others; offering usually incorrect explanations for things based on their own experience, overreaction, etc.
爱：是指一个人主动地以自己所能，无条件尊重、支持、保护和满足他人无法独立实现的人性需求，包括思想意识、精神体验、行为状态、物质需求等。爱的基础是尊重。爱的本质是无条件地给予，而非索取和得到。爱，出自心灵，出自本然，是生命最美最自然最渴望的状态；是一个生命对另一个生命或事物的珍重、眷顾和牵念；是对世界的怜惜和悲悯；是人类主动给予的幸福感。 Love: It's a proactive act from one person doing what he can to unconditionally respect, support, protect and satisfy another person's ideological, spiritual, behavioral and material needs. Love is all about unconditional giving, rather than taking or receiving. From the soul, out of nature, love is the most beautiful, most natural and most desired state of life. It's the admiration, devotion and attachment of one life toward another, the pity and compassion toward the world and a sense of happiness of voluntarily giving.
光明：是一切能够带来喜悦、和平、和爱的觉悟。它在不断观照内心、回归真我的过程而不断使层次加深。 Light: It's the consciousness that brings joy, peace and love. It deepens as we continue to look into our heart and return to the true self.
真我：与生俱来的清明、澄澈的自己。像婴儿那样敞开接受世间的一切，不带有任何评判、控制、忧虑、恐惧等等。除了爱与喜悦，还是爱与喜悦。 The real self: It's the innate self that is clean and clear. It's open to accept the whole world like a baby, without any judgment, control, anxiety, fear, etc. It is love and joy, pure and simple .
奇迹：是以不同的角度对世间一切做出诠释时，所见到的事物本来状态的自然呈现。它能带来喜悦与爱，取代评判和攻击。 Miracle: It's the natural manifestation of things interpreted from a different perspective. It brings joy and love to replace judgment and attack.
和平：是一种处于圆满、安宁的感觉。它允许奇迹发生和被察觉。它一直发生在当下的时刻，而非过去或者未来。是我们的终极目标。 Peace: It's a feeling of satisfaction and tranquility. It allows for the perception and presence of miracles. It always happens in the present, not in the past or the future. It is our ultimate goal.
控制：在事物的发展中、在处理问题时，过于强调自己的想法、自己的意图、自己要的结果…甚至忽略环境及条件，强迫达成自己的意愿。而这个结果未必是最佳的，真正的答案需要更多的时间才会出现。 Control: In the development and handling of things, the desire to insist on one' own ideas, intentions, and results without considering the environment and conditions. And the result is not necessarily the best, which requires more time to appear.
使用这本书的步骤： Steps to follow when reading the book:
1．每篇课文至少读三遍 2． Read each lesson at least three times. 3．按照每个月的日期开始当天的练习。 4． Do the exercises according to the calendar. 5．每天在任何时候，在一个安静的地方安坐几分钟，重复当日的功课。 6． Set aside a few minutes every day sitting in a quiet place to review the homework. 7．每天利用一切可用的机会应用所学的内容，并且乐于分享奇迹。 8． Use every available opportunity to apply what you have learned and be willing to share miracles. 9．写下每课收获 10． Write down what you've learned from each lesson.
进行过程中，不管遇到任何阻力，都只说：谢谢你的分享！ During the process, whatever resistance you encounter, just say: Thank you for sharing!
