竹清嘉措心要語 20

重心

既然不可能阻擋負面念頭，行者應該做什麼呢？此處的重點是：由於這些負面念頭的本質是明空，[帶著藉此而達到明空的想法]去阻擋它們是沒有必要的。

行者只需要將妄念的本質作為重心。

對正面的念頭來說，也是如此。不需要[以認為這是比負面念頭更好的達到明空的方法，]而去新創正面的念頭。

由於所有念頭的本質是明光，行者不需要[為了禪修其本質而]堅持念頭一定得是正面的。從實相的角度來說，正面與負面念頭的本質是完全一樣的。

因此，不需要去阻擋負面念頭，也不需要去發起正面的念頭。這樣的解說方式是由嘉華楊袞所教導。

西元1991年夏季，堪布竹清嘉措仁波切於「洛磯山佛法中心」解說《了義海》時宣說。

The Center of Gravity

Since it is not possible to stop negative thoughts, what is one to do? The point is that it is not necessary to stop them [with some idea of thereby reaching luminosity-emptiness], since their essence is luminosity-emptiness. 

One merely has to make that fundamental ground of thought the center of gravity. 

The same goes for positive thoughts. They do not need to be newly created [with the idea that this would be a better way of getting to luminosity emptiness than when thoughts are negative]. 

Since the fundamental nature of all thoughts is clear light, one does not need to insist that thoughts be positive [in order to meditate on their nature]. From the point of view of the fundamental nature, the essence of positive and negative thoughts is identical. 

Because of that, negative thoughts do not need to be stopped; positive ones do not need to be started. This way of putting it was taught by Gyalwa Yangon.
