奧修演講文章

奧修師父:
Contentment. Satisfaction with what is, no desire for what is not. What is, is more than enough. That it is, is more than enough. Open your eyes a little and see.
滿足.對"現在這樣子"滿足. 不要欲求"不是現在這樣子". "現在這樣子"已經多過足夠,稍微打開你的眼睛來看看.
No one need impose contentment upon life. If you look attentively you will find that what you get is always more than what you need. You go on receiving what you want, you have always got what you want. If you wanted unhappiness you got unhappiness. If you wanted happiness you got happiness. If you wanted something wrong you got something wrong. Your desires have shaped your life.
沒有人需要在生活中加上滿足,如果你仔細的看你將會發現你所擁有的總是多過你所需要的.你不斷的收到你想要的,你已經得到你想要的.如果你想要不快樂,你已經得到不快樂. 如果你想要快樂,你已經得到快樂. 如果你想要錯誤的東西,你已經得到錯誤的東西.你的欲求塑造你的生活.
Desire is the seed, and life is its harvest.
欲望是種子,生活是它豐收的果實.
For life after life you have been getting what you desire. Many times you think you desire one thing but receive something else. Then the error is not in what you desire, you have only chosen a wrong word for what you desire. For example, you want success and get failure. You say you failed because what you wanted was success. But he who desired success has already accepted failure. Within, he has become afraid of failure. Because of failure he desires success. And whenever he wishes for success, the idea of failure comes; the idea of failure goes on becoming stronger. Sometimes he succeeds, but he is certain to spend his journey through life in failure after failure. The mood of failure goes on deepening. It deepens so much that one day it manifests. Then you complain that you wanted success. But in wanting success, you have wished for failure.
幾世以來,你一直得到你所欲求的.很多次你認為你欲求一件事但卻得到別的事.錯誤的不是你所欲求的事,你只是對你的欲望選到錯誤的字. 例如,你想要成功但卻得到失敗.你說你失敗了因為你想要的是成功.但是那些渴望成功的人早已經接受失敗.在他的內心,他已變成害怕失敗.因為害怕失敗,所以他欲求成功.而無論何時當他欲求成功,失敗的想法同時出現. 失敗的想法不斷的變得更強壯,有時他成功,但是在他生命的旅途當中,他一定會不斷的失敗又失敗.失敗的氣氛不斷的加深,它如此的深以致於有一天失敗真的發生了,然後你就抱怨說你想要的是成功.但是在這個"想要成功"裡面, 你已經欲求失敗了.
Lao Tzu has said, "Wish for success and you will fail. If you really want success, never wish for it. Then no one can make you a failure."
老子曾經說過:"欲求成功,然後你將會失敗,如果你真的想要成功,就永遠都不要欲求它.那麼就沒有人可以使你失敗"
You say you wanted respect, but you are getting insults. A person who wants respect has no respect for himself, yet he wants respect from others. He who has no respect for himself wants others to cover it, to hide his lack of respect. This desire for respect is the sign that you feel disrespect for yourself within. You have the feeling that you are nothing. Others should make you into something, should put you on a throne, should raise banners for you, should hoist flags in your name- others should do something! You are a beggar. You have already insulted yourself when you wanted respect. And this insult goes on deepening.
你說你想要尊敬,但是你一直得到侮辱.一個想要尊敬的人是一個內心缺乏尊敬的人.但是他卻想從別人身上得到尊敬,自己內心沒有自我尊敬的人想從別人身上得到尊敬來覆蓋,來掩飾他內心的缺乏尊敬.想要尊敬是一個訊息來表示說你內心並不尊敬你自己,你感覺你是一文不值的.別人應該來讓你變成有價值的.應該把你放在寶座上面,應該為你舉起大旗,應該為你升起有你名字的旗子-別人應該做些什麼事! 你是一個乞丐,當你想要尊敬時你已經侮辱你自己了.而且這個侮辱不斷的在加深.
Lao Tzu says, "No one can defeat me because I don't want respect." This is attaining true respect.
老子說:"沒有人可以侮辱我因為我不想要尊敬."這才是得到真實的尊敬.
Lao Tzu says, "No one can defeat me because I have dropped the very idea of winning. How can you defeat me? You can only defeat one who wants to win." It is a strange fact.
老子說:"沒有人可以打敗我因為我已經拋棄這個贏的觀念,你要如何打敗我呢?你只能打敗那些想要贏的人."這是一個奇怪的事實.
In this world those who do not desire respect receive it. Those who do not want success get it, because those who do not want success already accept that they are successful: what more success do you want? You are already honored by the being within you: what more do you want? Existence has already given you respect by giving birth to you: who else's respect do you want? Existence has given you enough glory. It gave you life. It has blessed you with eyes- open them and see these green trees, the flowers, the birds. It has given you ears- listen to music, to the splashing of a waterfall. It has given awareness so you can become a buddha: what more do you want? You have already been honored. Existence has certified you; who are you asking, like a beggar, for a certificate? Those who beg a certificate from you?
在這個世界上,那些沒有欲求尊敬的人得到尊敬, 那些沒有欲求成功的人得到成功. 因為那些不想要成功的人早已經接受他們是成功的,還有那些更多的成功是你想要的?你內在的存在已經榮耀你, 還有那些更多的是你想要的?藉由身出你,存在已經給你尊敬. 還有那些尊敬是你想要的? 存在已經給你足夠的光輝.它給予你生命, 藉由眼睛,存在已經給你祝福,--打開眼睛看看這些翠綠的樹,這些花,這些鳥. 存在已經給你耳朵-聽聽音樂,聽聽瀑布的水聲, 存在已經給你覺知所以你可以成為一個佛.你還想要什麼?你已經受到榮耀.存在已經給你證明,你就像一個乞丐還一直跟誰要證明?跟向你要證明的人?
It is a very hilarious situation, two beggars face to face begging from each other. How can you get anything? Both are beggars. From whom are you asking respect? Who are you standing in front of? You are insulting yourself this way. And the insult will deepen.
這是一場鬧劇.兩個乞丐面對面相互的乞討,這樣你將如何得到東西呢?兩個人都是乞丐. 你又向誰要求尊敬?你是站在誰的前面?你用這樣的方式一直在侮辱你自己,這個侮辱會一直加深.
Contentment means: Look at what you have! Open your eyes a little and see what you've already got.
滿足的意思是:"看看你已經擁有的, 稍微打開你的眼睛來看看你已經擁有的.
