“我”念的生成与解除(英文)

"H9f$TO^&O
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">It was Sri Ramana's basic thesis that the individual self is nothing more than a thought or an idea. He said that this thought, which he called 'I'-thought, originates from a place called the Heart-center, which he located on the right side of the chest in the human body. From there the 'I'-thought rises up to the brain and identifies itself with the body: 'I am this body.' It then creates the illusion that there is a mind or an individual self which inhabits the body and which controls all its thoughts and actions. The 'I'-thought accomplishes this by identifying itself with all the thoughts and perceptions that go on in the body. For example, 'I' (that is the 'I'-thought) am doing this, 'I' am thinking this, 'I' am feeling happy, etc. Thus, the idea that one is an individual person is generated and sustained by the 'I'-thought and by its habit of constantly attaching itself to all the thoughts that arise. <BR>Sri Ramana maintained that one could reverse this process by depriving the 'I'-thought of all the thoughts and perceptions that it normally identifies with. Sri Ramana taught that this 'I'-thought is actually an unreal entity, and that it only appears to exist when it identifies itself with other thoughts. He said that if one can break the connection between the 'I'-thought and the thoughts it identifies with, then the 'I'-thought itself will subside and finally disappear. Sri Ramana suggested that this could be done by holding onto the 'I'-thought, that is, the inner feeling of 'I' or 'I am' and excluding all other thoughts. As an aid to keeping one's attention on this inner feeling of 'I', he recommended that one should constantly question oneself 'Who am I?' or 'Where does this "I" come from?' He said that if one can keep one's attention on this inner feeling of 'I', and if one can exclude all other thoughts, then the 'I'-thought will start to subside into the Heart-center.<BR>This, according to Sri Ramana, is as much as the devotee can do by himself. When the devotee has freed his mind of all thoughts except the 'I'-thought, the power of the real Self pulls the 'I'-thought back into the Heart-center and eventually destroys it so completely that it never rises again. This is the moment of Self-realization. When this happens, the mind and the individual self (both of which Sri Ramama equated with the 'I'-thought) are destroyed forever. Only the real Self then remains.<BR></SPAN></P>

<font size="3">Thanks. Dear Simple.<br><br>But I am VERY confused about some of the perspectives of the above paper, such as<br><br>1. " 'I'-thought originates from a place called the Heart-center, which he located on the right side of the chest in the human body. " <br> How can the author identify the physical location of the origination of I-thought? Any evidence? It sounds unreasonable.<br><br>2. "When this happens, the mind and the individual self are destroyed forever. Only the real Self then remains."<br><br>Since the mind and the I-thought are destroyed forever, why something called "real self" remains? What is this "real Self"? What are the status and functions of the "real Self"?<br><br> According to my understanding, it seems that the view the author are NOT completely consistent with the Buddha's teaching. <br><br> Simple, how do you think? <br><br></font>

只是不停地问自己“我是谁?” 是与禅宗很相似,不过这“真我”到底是什么,是“生命本身”或“心性“或 绝对精神”?不清楚。待我去查查资料看。

怪不得,是印度教吧。请看这里<br><br>”<span style="color: Red;">意识本身即是全部的形态,例如, 灵魂、神和世界; 当它通过认知成为本我的形态便是解脱, 那便是解脱,正是婆罗门的真意:正是这教诲。</span>“<br><br> ”意识据称是在咽喉的位置, 智力在脸部或者心脏, 记忆力在肚脐的位置, <span style="color: Red;">我执位于心脏</span>或者sarvanga; 尽管有不同的说法, 作为这些的集合, 即意识或者内在能力,其位置就是在心脏。 这是经典中最后的结论“<br><br>”尽管自我分别借由眼睛、咽喉和心,通过如行走、做梦和沉睡来感受自己的体验, 而事实上,它从来未离开过它的本位:心。 心莲中是一切的本性, 或者说, 在意识以太状态中,自我之光是以“我”的形态闪耀的。 由于它在每个个体中都是同样地闪耀着, 这种绝对的自我被称作观照(sakshi)与超然(turiya,实际上的第四层)。 那种较少的“我”的至高梵天,以“我”的形态存在于所有身体之中,如闪耀的光, 这便是本我以太(或者认知以太): 其本身就是绝对真相。 这就是高级超然(turiyatita)。 因此会说,<span style="color: Red;">被称为心的即是梵天(Brahman)。另外, 因为梵天以本我的形式在所有灵魂的心中闪耀, 便以“心”来命名梵天* 。 hridayam 一词被分为“hrit-ayam”, 其意义便为梵天。 充足的证据证明,梵天在所有个体的心中以自我的形态闪耀,这就是为什么当人们称谓他们自己时会指向胸口说“我””</span><br><br>完整的在 http://www.xici.net/b335073/d54620420.htm<br><br>关于“我是谁”的论述 ,在 http://www.boundlessspace.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=792 <br><br>

提出有一个“心所依处”位于心脏,也是南传部派论典的一个不同于经典的异说,原来还是受到印度教的影响,那也不是他们的发明了。

看来你们还"英雄"所见略同.呵呵。不过你们似乎忘了。就凭这一点捕风捉影的影射.就能断定"论藏中有一个不同于经典的异说"并同时得出"异说"的原因:受到印度教的影响是太轻率了。本来,对于严谨的思维来说。如此轻率的结论本不应出口。也许.你们深心里根本没把论藏放在眼里.已经先入为主的贬低了论藏的地位.才在听到一点风声.马上就产生了"共鸣".轻率的结论就脱口而出了.

<P><FONT size=3>首先谢谢summertulip法友提供的资料!</FONT></P>-|p/zH8LF9e3wg
<P><FONT size=3>因为Ramana尊者不重视信仰与仪式,又没有师父,他修行的动力是因为有过频临死亡的经验,所以很多人对他的看法不同。香港的月溪法师是我非常欣赏的禅师,他也是通过这种修法来悟道的,但可能是两人的背景不同吧,对经验的解释又各有不同。月溪禅师说悟道后由真性作主,不是由我执的习气作主,而Ramana尊者是说我执断了后就留下真我了。</FONT></P>%TLd ^i
<P><FONT size=3>有的东西要解释是很难的(只可意会不可言传),一定要体验才行(如人饮水冷暖自知)。我想断“我执”是修行的关键,因为一般人认为的“我”并不是真实存在的,“我执”的习气断了后,生命的体现就更圆满吧。</FONT></P>J'M#VV5yMw
<P><FONT size=3>南传佛法很重视观无常观生灭观缘起,也是为了断除我执的习气。因为觉得Ramana尊者对“我”的解释及如何消除“我执”有点独特,所以让大家看看。</FONT></P>
