If it so happened that someone came to him, saying, "Ajaan, sir, I want to
practice meditation. How should I go about it?" he would answer, "Meditate
on the word 'Buddho.'"
If the person asked, "What does 'Buddho' mean?" Ajaan Sao would answer, "Don
't ask."
"What will happen after I've meditated on 'Buddho'?"
"Don't ask. Your only duty is simply to repeat the word 'Buddho' over and
over in your mind."
That's how he taught. |

发帖数: 7025 | 4 我喜欢 Ajahn Brahm 说的故事∶
我出家作比丘，待在泰国的时间有八年多，大部分的时间我都待在森林道场，跟蛇住在
一起。当我在1974年抵达时，人们告诉我，在泰国有一百种的蛇∶九十九是有毒的，它
们是会咬死人；另外那一种，则会勒死你。
在这段时间里，我几乎每天都看到蛇。有一次，我在茅篷里踩到一条六尺长的蛇，我们
两个都跳了起来，还好是朝著相反的方向。我甚至有一天清晨，在一条蛇身上洒尿，因
为我以为那是一根棍子。当然我向它道歉。（可能这条蛇还以为是被圣水加持呢！）还
有一次，当我在一场仪典中唱诵时，有一条蛇爬上其中一位比丘。一直到爬到他的肩膀
时，这位比丘才转头去看，这条蛇同时也转过来看著他。我停止唱诵，在这可笑的几秒
钟里，比丘与这条蛇互视彼此。然后，比丘小心谨慎地弹他的袈裟，蛇便溜走了，于是
，我们继续唱念。
作为森林僧，我们受到的训练是∶要对一切众生培养慈悲心，对蛇尤是。我们关心它们
的安乐。这也是在那段日子里，从来没有一位出家人被蛇咬的原因。
在泰国，我看过两条巨大的蛇。第一条是蟒蛇，至少有七公尺长，它的身体跟我的大腿
一样粗。看到这么大的东西时，你几乎会不可置信地愣住∶ |

在20世纪90年代，主要由亚洲人和白人修行者建立并参加活动的佛教组织持续增长
，但也显示出新的特点：在斯里兰卡、泰国、缅甸移民建立的寺庙里，出现了亚洲人和
美国人混合的局面，与此相反，那些由老挝、柬埔寨难民建立的寺庙却没有这种情况。
可能由于泰国、斯里兰卡和缅甸寺庙的僧侣及第一代移民能更好地掌握英语，使他们比
老挝和柬埔寨的僧侣及在家居士更容易被美国社会接纳。
保罗·纳穆瑞切（Paul Numrich）对芝加哥的泰国寺庙法乐寺（Wat Dhammaram）
、洛杉矶的斯里兰卡法胜佛寺（Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara）进行了研究，首次
指出了这种亚洲人和本土美国上座部佛教修行者的混合特征。纳穆瑞切发现，在泰国和
斯里兰卡的每座寺庙不仅有该国人，而且都有白人群体。白人经常参加亚洲寺庙的活动
，尤其是泰国寺庙，作为亚洲人的配偶或家庭成员，白人来到这两个没有家族联系的寺
庙。比如在法乐寺，泰国人在周末来参加仪式，而白人通常在除了周末之外的每天晚上

Q: This word 'citta' is used in the suttas for the subjective consciousness.
If there's a citta from which the asavas (biases) are removed and a citta
which is liberated, how does this fit in with the idea of self or no-self?
How does one avoid self-view in thinking about the citta? If there's no self
, who is it that's aware and what is it that becomes enlightened?
这个citta 可以粗落的理解为'意识', 'mind'. |

is commonly used indicating a 'fuel', which sustains a process, such as the
oil in a lamp being the fuel/upadana for the flame. It is related to craving
(TANHA). For example, craving is reaching out for the delicious cup of
coffee, Upadana is picking it up. Even though you think that you can easily
put the cup of coffee down again, though your hand is not superglued to the
cup, it is still Upadana. You have picked it up. |

問︰打坐有必要坐很久嗎？
答︰不必要。坐上好幾個小時是沒有必要的。有些人認為坐得愈久一定愈有智慧，我曾
看見雞在雞窩裡坐上好幾天呢！智慧來自於，無論你的身體做什麼動作，你都是警醒而
清楚。修行應該從清晨醒來那一刻開始，持續到你晚上睡覺之前。不要在意你能坐多久
，重要的是能否保持清醒分明。每個人都有他自己自然的壽命，有的人六十歲會死，而
有的人到九十歲才死。所以，你們每個人修行步調也不必一致，不要去想或擔心這一點
。試著保持清醒，讓事物依它自然的法則進行，這時無論你處在怎樣的境界，內心都會
愈來愈寧靜。它好比森林裡一泓清澈的池塘，所有美麗和稀有的動物都跑來喝水，你清
醒地看見萬事萬物的本來面目，看到美麗稀奇的動物來了又走了，但你仍寂然不動。煩
惱會產生，但你能立刻透視它們。這是佛陀獲致的安詳和幸福。 |

发帖数: 2166 | 37 問︰貪欲和瞋恚等煩惱純是虛幻的，或是實在的？
答︰兩者皆是，我們把煩惱稱作貪欲或瞋恚或無明，這些都是外在的名相。正如我們說
一個碗是大的、小的、好看的，隨你怎麼稱呼它，這都不是事物的本來面目。我們從概
念中產生貪欲︰假使想要一個大的碗，就把眼前這個碗叫做小的。貪欲使我們分別，而
真理純粹是事物的原貌。我們用這種方式來看︰你是一個人嗎？你會說︰是。這是事物
的表象，其實你祇不過由各種元素，或者一堆變化不居的五蘊所構成的。假使內心是解
脫的，就是沒有分別計較，沒有大或小，也沒有你和我。一切皆空，我們稱它為無我。
