Karma (羯磨、業力) 的定義
Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. It is equivalent to Newton’s third law of Physics: ‘For every action there is a reaction’. When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most people will not be able eradicate it. 羯磨是梵語 karman 的音譯。意譯為“業力”,指身、口、意三業的造作 (包括心念與行動)。正在造作的時候叫業。業發生後,不會消除,它將引起報應。它有如牛頓的物理學第三定律:“對於每一個造作,都有反作用”。就像山谷回響。萬物一體,互相感應。當我們思考,說話或行動時,我們會啟動一個力量,並相應地作出反應。這種迴旋力可能被修改,改變或暫停,但永遠被儲存在宇宙的共同意識裡,不能根除。 Your thoughts and feelings shape the world within you. Your words and actions shape the world around you. You are constantly changing your world, little by little. 你的念頭和感覺塑造了你的內在世界。你的言語和行動塑造了你外在的世界。你一直在不斷地改變你存在的世界。 The reason your fate is never truly set is because you have free will. Therefore your future cannot already be written. You can’t escape from your past, but learning from it will change your future. 人有自由意志,因此人的命運是可改變的。你不能改變你的過去,但你可從中學習,因而改變你的未來。 David Icke refers to Karma as the mirror or reflection. If you don’t like the way your hair looks in the mirror (the reflection you are getting back) you don’t comb the mirror, you comb your own hair. Basically this means, if you don’t like the results you are receiving in the outside world, you change the reflection by changing yourself. Your Future is an Echo of Your Past. 大衛·伊克不稱它為鏡子或反射。如果你不喜歡鏡裡人頭髮的樣子,你不會去梳鏡子,而是梳理自己的頭髮。基本上這意味著,如果你不喜歡在外部世界所受的結果,你就通過改變自己,而改變外境的反射。你的未來是你過去的回響。 The events that happen in our lives are not random; they are the direct results of the choices we are making. 在我們的生活中發生的事件不是隨機的;它們是我們所作決擇的直接後果。 However, karma is not meant to be a punishment. The law of karma transforms you into a better person. Karma is one simple word that expresses the concept of “Whatever you do will always come back to you”. – whatever we create is what we will experience. You alone are responsible for your actions. Remember the purpose of karma is not revenge. The universe is not vengeful. The purpose of karma is to help you become a better person. 業力並不意味著是一種懲罰。它是為了教導你成為一個更好的人。業力表達了“無論你做什麼,都會迴旋到自己”的概念 – 無論我們創造什麼,我們將體驗其結果。記住業力的目的不是報復。宇宙不復仇。業力的目的是幫助你成為一個更好的人。 The Law of Cause & Effect 因果效應法則 What you have done unto others in past lives or in this one (cause), weaves the karmic agreement of your present and future (effect). Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them. As you sow, so shall you reap. 你過去或現在所造作的事,編織了你現在和未來的果報。你所給予的,都會回旋到你身上。當你播種,你也會收穫。種瓜得瓜,種豆得豆。你給別人的,其實是給自己的。地球是圓的,整個世界都在繞著圈子,不論你傷害誰,就長遠來看,你都是傷害到你自己。 The Law of Creation 創造法則 We are one with the Universe, both inside and out. Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state. 我們與宇宙一體。外境是內心的顯現。外在世界是內在世界的倒影與反映。發生在你身上的事,事先已經在你內心中發生過一遍了。 The law of creation means that life does not happen at random, it requires your heart to participate. All that surrounds us is the projection of our inner world. Yes, we are the universe. 創造的法則意味著生命並不是隨意發生的,它需要你的用心參與。我們周遭的一切是我們內在世界的投射。沒錯,我們就是宇宙。 The Law of Connection 連接法則 The smallest or seemingly least important of things must be done because everything in the Universe is connected. Each step leads to the next step. 最小或似乎最不重要的事情必須做,因為宇宙中的一切都是相通的。每個步驟導致下一步。 The law of connection states that everything in the universe is connected. The left foot taking a step is connected to the right foot taking the next step. Equally, past, present, and future are all connected. 連接法則表明,宇宙中的萬事萬物都是相連的。左腳邁出的這一步連接著右腳的下一步。同樣的,過去、現在、未來都有關聯。 The Law of Change 變化法則 Change happens everywhere. We must learn to be comfortable with change and eventually embrace it. Initiating changes through choice, will and practice. Initiating change while flowing with the changes as they happen, is a dance with life. 我們周圍的一切都在不停的變化。我們必須學會適應變化,最終擁抱它。通過選擇,意志和實踐,發起改變。在啟發變化的同時,隨順著變化的韻律迴旋,是與生命共舞。 History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path. Crisis is the turning point: the key wisdom to successful change in adversity. 歷史重演自己,直到我們學到我們需要改變我們的道路的經驗教訓。危機就是轉機:在逆境中成功變革的關鍵智慧 The Law of Giving and Hospitality 給予和熱誠法則 The law of giving states that in life, when you give, you get. If you want an open, free, and beautiful world, you have to make it so. The more you give of yourself without expectation of return, the more that will come back to you. 給予法則就是在人生中,有捨才有得。如果你想要一個開放,自由和美麗的世界,你必須敞開心扉,去創造它。施恩不望報,你會得到越多的回報。 Hospitality gives us an opportunity to help people feel welcome in our homes. It spreads happiness when the host smiles, offers refreshments, and helps people feel comfortable. It creates friendships. It brings people together in unity. 熱誠為我們提供了,幫助人們在我們的家園裡,感覺到受歡迎的機會。當主人微笑,提供茶點,並幫助人們感到舒適時,它散發幸福,它創造了友誼,它使人們結合在一起。 |
