A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
冥想
Meditation
The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.
飞行所需要的专注、专注和对细节的关注是一种冥想。我发现它很安静,很吸引人,其他的东西就会溜走。
Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
冥想是思想在永恒意识或纯粹意识中的消解,没有对象化,没有思考就知道,在无限中融合有限。
I get into certain yoga positions at times, when I'm working out and for exercises. I use a little of it in some of my meditation, but I chant now and that sort of replaced it.
我有时会做瑜伽,当我在锻炼的时候。我在一些冥想中会用到一些,但我现在吟诵,那就代替了它。
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
我们应该为年老做好准备,这样,这个世界就不会迫切需要从对下一个世界的冥想中吸收老年。看到老态龙钟的瘦削的手在坟墓上做棺材是可怕的。
Some people think that meditation takes time away from physical accomplishment. Taken to extremes, of course, that's true. Most people, however, find that meditation creates more time than it takes.

If I had not been already been meditating, I would certainly have had to start. I've treated my own depression for many years with exercise and meditation, and I've found that to be a tremendous help.

But I deal with this meditating and by understanding I've been put on the planet to serve humanity. I have to remind myself to live simply and not to overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world.

I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment.
经过长时间的沉思,我深信,一个有坚定目标的人必须完成它,没有什么能抗拒一种意志,这种意志一旦实现,就连生存也将受到威胁。
What's encouraging about meditation is that even if we shut down, we can no longer shut down in ignorance. We see very clearly that we're closing off. That in itself begins to illuminate the darkness of ignorance.
冥想令人鼓舞的地方是,即使我们停止冥想,我们也不能再在无知中停止。我们很清楚地看到,我们正在封闭自己,这本身就开始照亮无知的黑暗。
When you look at the sun during your walking meditation, the mindfulness of the body helps you to see that the sun is in you; without the sun there is no life at all and suddenly you get in touch with the sun in a different way.
当你在散步冥想时看着太阳,身体的正念帮助你看到太阳在你体内;没有太阳就没有生命,突然间你以一种不同的方式与太阳接触。
When I'm home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience, and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice.
当我休息的时候,我把自己锁在房间里弹吉他。两三个小时后,我开始完全进入冥想状态。这是一种很少有人经历的感觉,通常是当我想到一些奇怪的东西的时候。它只是流。我不能强迫自己。我不会坐下来说我必须练习。
The kind of spirituality I value is one in which you get great joy out of contributing to life, not just sitting and meditating, although meditation is certainly valuable. But from the meditation, from the resulting consciousness, I would like to see people in action creating the world that they want to live in.
我所看重的精神是那种你能从对生活的贡献中获得巨大快乐的精神,而不仅仅是坐着冥想,尽管冥想当然是有价值的。但从冥想中,从由此产生的意识中,我希望看到人们在行动中创造他们想要生活的世界。
