聆听来自灵魂的问候
建议用耳机或音箱，静静感受
01理解冥想
在每一个宗教传统中都有不同形式的冥想。最重要的是我们的真诚和真正让自己融入某种特殊形式的意愿。一些是特定的祈祷,有一些是美德,一些有关呼吸,一些关注身体的不同感受,还有一些是以上帝的名义,这些都被认为是非常神圣的。所有这些冥想都是为了净化我们的心灵，使我们的心灵达到它的自然状态。或者意识本身就是纯洁、永恒、充满了知识和极乐的。但不知为什么一直被掺加了很多的误解、太多的欲望、渴望和对于我们想要什么，不想要什么的焦虑。"我是男人,我是中国人,我是俄罗斯人,我是非洲人"--这些都是身体的概念。我们浪费太多精力在这些事情上面，且它们都被搀和入意识层面。如果我们通过冥想或任何真正的灵性修习来过滤我们的心念，它就会将我们的意识带回最初原始纯净的状态。
There are different forms of mediations in every religious tradition.What is most important is our sincerity and the willingness to really absorb ourselves in that particular form, some on a particular prayer, some on a virtue, some on the breath, some on the different sensations of the body and some on the name of God, which is considered very divine and holy.All these meditations are meant to purify our hearts and bring our mind to its natural condition.Or consciousness is inherently pure, eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. But somehow or other it has been covered by and adulterated by some many misconceptions, so many desires, so many longings, so many anxieties about what we want and what we don’t want “I am a man, I am Chinese, I am Russian, I am African”--all of these are bodily conceptions. We are so much consumed by these things and it is all mixed into consciousness.If we filter our mind through mediation or any genuine spiritual practice, it brings our consciousness back to its original state, which is pure.
另一个例子是镜子。当你照镜子时，你会看到自己。但如果这面镜子被遗忘了几百年时，镜子上会有一层层的碎片、灰尘、污垢和污物。当你看到它时，你会认为:“这就是我!”但当你擦拭镜子的时候，你将开始逐渐地看到自己的形象。当镜子真正地干净的时候，你将会看到你是谁。冥想、祈祷与灵性修习都是为了净化我们的心灵与生活形态，如此我们就可以真正地直接体验到永恒，充满知识和爱的自我本质。
Another example is a mirror. When you look into a mirror, you see yourself. But what if that mirror has been neglected for hundreds of years? There are layers and layers of debris, dust, dirt and filth. And when you look into that you think is “This is me!”But when you clean the mirror, little by little you start seeing the image of yourself.And when the mirror is actually clean, you see who you are.Mediation is for that purpose; prayers are for that purpose; spirituality is for that purpose: to cleanse our heart, to cleanse our life-style so that we can actually directly experience our own essence, which is eternal, full of knowledge and full of love.
02曼陀罗冥想的七个功效
曼陀罗冥想是《韦达经》规定的适合现在这个年代的方式。最受人推崇而且也是最能提升我们知觉的曼陀罗是:伟大的曼陀罗（Maha mantra）--哈瑞奎师那、哈瑞 奎师那、奎师那奎师那、哈瑞哈瑞、哈瑞茹阿玛、哈瑞茹阿玛、茹阿玛茹阿玛、哈瑞哈瑞。
Mantrameditation is whatthe Vedasprescribe for this day and age.The single most highly recommended mantra—with the greatest ability to uplift our consciousness—is:Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
“荣耀归于齐颂圣主奎师那之名。为我们的心拭净经年的积尘，熄去体困生命的火焰——轮回生死的火焰。这运动传播月亮恩泽的光芒，是全人类最大的福祉。这是一切超然知识的生命，充盈超然喜乐的海洋，而且让我们充分尝到恒常渴望的甘露。”（《柴坦尼亚·查瑞塔密瑞塔·末篇逍遥》20.12）
“Let there be all victory for the chanting of the holy name of Lord Kåñëa, which can cleanse the mirror of the heart and stop the miseries of the blazing fire of material existence. That chanting is the waxing moon that spreads the white lotus of good fortune for all living entities. It is the life and soul of all education. The chanting of the holy name of Kåñëa expands the blissful ocean of transcendental life. It gives a cooling effect to everyone and enables one to taste full nectar at every step.” (Cc. Antya 20.12)
1. 唱诵奎师那的名字拭净心灵之镜。
2. 当经年的积尘被清除之后，巨大的物质生活的森林大火才会熄灭。
3.当我们灵性的身份苏醒时，我们真正的好运之白莲才会舒展它的叶子，开始在奎师那圣名的清凉月光中绽放。
4.“知识的生命”
5.唱诵会在内心释放不断增长的超然喜乐的海洋。
6.一步一步地我们的品味会充分培养起来，这种味道甘美无比。这时，我们就能品尝到灵魂渴求的甘美滋味。
7. 圣名会冲洗我们的灵魂，洗净所有精微和粗糙的污染，使灵魂沉浸在狂喜中。
8. 由于圣名能够产生这7种功效，因而它是最高的成功，超越物质存在。它会摧毁物质世界，让灵魂处于充满喜乐的世界中。
03 曼陀罗冥想带来永恒快乐的喜悦
当我们听到这一超然的音震，我们原本的知觉就会被唤醒。这种最简单的冥想是推荐给这个年代的。通过实际的体验，一个人可以感受到唱诵这一玛哈曼陀罗（maha-mantra），或称为获得救赎的伟大唱诵，可以让人立即感受到来自灵性层面的超然狂喜。在物质的生活观念下，我们一直忙于感官的满足，这时的我们就好像处在低等的动物层面。比这种低等的感官享乐再高一点，一个会从事于旨在摆脱物质纠缠的心智思辨。比心智思辨再高一点，如果一个人足够聪明的话，他会努力寻找所有内外原因的最重要的原因。当一个人超越了感官、心意和智性，实际地处在了灵性的理解层面，他就到达了超然的层面。唱诵哈瑞奎师那曼陀罗是在灵性层面上进行的。这一音震超越了所有低等的知觉层面——超越了感官、心理和智性。因此，唱诵这首伟大的曼陀罗（maha-mantra）并不需要理解曼陀罗的语言本身，不需要进行心智思辨，也不需要调整自己的智性。这一唱诵自动地始于灵性层面。因此，任何人不需要任何先前的资格就能够参与唱诵。当然，在更高阶段，当一个人有了灵性理解的基础时，唱诵时就不该有冒犯。
When we hear this transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived. This simplest method of meditation is recommended for this age. By practical experience also, one can perceive that by chanting this maha-mantra, or the Great Chanting for Deliverance, one can at once feel a transcendental ecstasy coming through from the spiritual stratum. In the material concept of life we are busy in the matter of sense gratification, as if we were in the lower, animal stage. A little elevated from this status of sense gratification, one is engaged in mental speculation for the purpose of getting out of the material clutches. A little elevated from this speculative status, when one is intelligent enough, one tries to find out the supreme cause of all causes—within and without.And when one is factually on the plane of spiritual understanding, surpassing the stages of sense, mind, and intelligence, he is then on the transcendental plane. This chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra is enacted from the spiritual platform, and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciousness—namely sensual, mental, and intellectual.There is no need, therefore, to understand the language of the mantra, nor is there any need for mental speculation nor any intellectual adjustment for chanting this maha-mantra. It is automatic, from the spiritual platform, and as such, anyone can take part in the chanting without any previous qualification.In a more advanced stage, of course, one is not expected to commit offenses on the grounds of spiritual understanding.
有许多的程序或原则帮助我们从心中能散发出爱的光芒，也帮助我们从不想要的品质中来净化我们的心灵,而这些不想要的品质就如同遮蔽太阳光芒的乌云一般。仅仅通过吟诵，我们的心就会得到净化。与什么样的人交往，你就会变成什么样的人。因此，试着与精神高尚的人交往，与圣洁的人交往。通过与他们的联谊，我们变得圣洁。
There are many processes ordisciplines to help allowthe light of love to shine from our hearts, to help purify our heartsfrom all of the unwantedqualitieswhich are like the cloud covering the sun.Simply by chanting, our hearts become purified.What youassociate with, you become like.Therefore, try associating withspiritual-minded people, with saintly people.And by associating with them, we become saintly and we becomegodly.
