不    執    著



   
                                                                 世間充滿著什麼?
                                                                 充滿著生、住、滅的事物,
                                                                 執著就苦,
                                                                 不執著就不苦。
  
                                                                 哪個地方有執著,那兒就有束縛,
                                                                 不論是正面或負面的束縛,兩者同樣都會捆綁人。
                                                                 只要執著事物為「我」或「我所有」,
                                                                 便會產生繫縛,而人一旦陷入繫縛之中,
                                                                 就好比身陷囚獄一般了。

                                                                 我們應該要詳細學習觀察「執取」,
                                                                 並盡最大的能力好好地控制他直到克服他為止,
                                                                 這樣我們才能夠逐漸地從煩惱中解脫出來,
                                                                 成為一個自我解放且自由自在的人。
 
                                                                 佛教的智慧應該是從那沈迷執取的事物中「退出」,
                                                                 完全斷除再也不回頭。這裡的退出和斷除是指
                                                                 內心的感受,而不是外在的行為,
                                                                 比如摔東西、破壞東西、躲入森林或自殺。
 
                                                                 無明是讓我們去執取的力量,
                                                                 使得我們沈迷並攀緣於事物上,
                                                                 於是產生各式各樣的苦,沒辦法減輕。
 
                                                                 「法」比喻為筏,「法」的智慧應該用來渡過苦海,
                                                                 不應該以它為唇槍舌劍而互相傷害;
                                                                 不可執著它,甚至已到彼岸、登陸了,
                                                                 還背著筏,不願與它分手。
 
                                                                 即使快樂是從禪定中所產生的,
                                                                 如果起了「我快樂」的感覺,
                                                                 也必然會在快樂的肉體中形成「魚刺」,
                                                                 橫插在喉嚨裡。
 
                                                                 兩袖清風,固然能使內心產生前所未有的輕安,
                                                                 卻也能升起一種智慧,告訴我
                                                                 這種內心的輕安,是由於割捨和不執著。

                                                                 不執著,
應該不僅是因為身無長物,而是
                                                                 沒什麼東西可以執著,
                                                                 更是因為對自己擁有的的一切不執著。那麼,
                                                                 擁有一些足以利益更多人的東西,卻沒有執著的負擔,
                                                                 可能做到嗎?
                                                                 這很值得嘗試的。
