"Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane
patients-ithout ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look
within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.
两年前,我听说一个夏威夷的精神病临床治疗专家连看都没有看过那些病人就将那些曾经犯罪或具有暴力倾向的一病房精神病人全部治愈。这个心理学家不过是仔细阅读这些病人的病历资料,然后就向自己的内心查找自己是如何造成了这个精神病人的疾病。随着心理学家不断改善自己(也就是改善纠正自己造成病人得病的行为“译者注”),病人的病情也随之改善。
"When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else
by healing himself? How could even the best selfimprovement master cure the criminally insane? It
didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.
当我第一次第一次听到这样的事情时候,我认为简直就是一个现代都市神话,天方夜谭那样令人难以置信。一个人怎么可能通过治愈自己的方式来治愈他人呢?一个自我提高的大师怎么可能治愈那些精神病刑事犯罪者呢?这样的事情是毫无道理的。这从根本上来说是不符合现代科学的逻辑的,因此我将这个故事搁置一旁。
"However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process
called ho 'oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all
true, I had to know more. I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible
for what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total
responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does--
but that's wrong.
然而,一年后,我再次听到了同样的事情。我听说那个临床专家用一种被称作和和波罗波罗的夏威夷祖传治疗程序。在此之前我就听说过这个名词,到现在仍然没有忘记。如果这件事情是真实的,我必须要了解更多。我早就知道所谓“全部负责”,我们应当对自己所想所做的一切事情负责,对于我所控制之外的事情我就没办法了,也不负责任。我想这是绝大多数人对“全部负责”的理解。我们仅仅对我们所做的全部事情负责,而对于他人所做的任何事情都不必负责————但是这却是错误的。
"The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an advanced new
perspective about total responsibility. His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent
an hour talking on our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as
a therapist.
那位用和和波罗波罗方法治愈那些精神疾病患者的临床专家会教会对于“全部负责-个人责任”一种全新的理解。他的名字就是哈利卡拉· 修· 蓝博士。在此,我们将用大概一小时的时间来讲述我与蓝博士之间的第一次电话沟通。我请求蓝博士向我叙述一下他作为临床治疗专家的那些治病经历的全部经过。
He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years.
他说他在夏威夷州立医院工作了四年。
That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous.
那个关押精神病刑事犯罪者的病房非常的危险。
Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk
through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a
pleasant place to live, work, or visit.
那些心理学家几乎是每月一换。其他工作人员经常请病假或者干脆辞职。人们因害怕受到病人的攻击,因此在经过这个病房的时候都背靠着墙根走。因此可以说这里并不是一个令人愉快的生活、工作或参观的地方。
"Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to review their files. While
he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.
蓝博士告诉我,他从来没有见过那些病人,但是他愿意到属于自己的一间办公室里去阅读那些病人的病历材料。当他看那些病历资料的时候他就一边在自己的身上做工作,随着自己的努力病人也逐渐病愈。
"'After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely,' he told me.
'Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no
chance of ever being released were being freed.' I was in awe. 'Not only that,' he went on, 'but the
staff began to enjoy coming to work. and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than
we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today,
that ward is closed.'
几个月过去之后,那些曾经必须带脚镣的精神病人可以自由活动了,他告诉我。那些曾经需要大剂量的药物控制病情的病人现在也不再依赖药物了。那些曾经几乎是没有机会获得任何自由的人,现在被释放了。听到这些,我开始对蓝博士产生一种敬畏。不仅如此,他还继续说,那些曾经经常请假装病的员工开始喜欢回来工作了,没有人再辞职以及找各种理由请假了。而且后来我们还觉得需要裁减一部分员工,因为病人被全部释放了,(亦即病人的病情心理疾病获得了缓解和释放),所有的员工都努力工作。今天这个病房已经关闭了。(因为病人全部出院了)。
"This is where I had to ask the million dollar question: 'What were you doing within yourself that caused
those people to change?'
而这正是我所要寻求解答的最关键的问题,也就是蓝博士是在自己身上做了什么从而导致
那些病人的变化呢?
"'I was simply healing the part of me that created them,' he said. I didn't understand. Dr. Len explained
that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life- simply because it is in your life--
is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation.
他告诉我,他不过是治疗自己身上那些可能造就那些病人的部分而已。这个答复我不明白。蓝博士继续解释说,所谓对自己的行为全部负责意味着那些在你生命中出现的一切事情你都要负责,也就是你所面对的一切都是你的责任。【负责,也就是说并不是你所认为的你的所想所行你才应当负责,而是对于你看到听到的一切都要负责,即使这将事情的发生是有他人主导的,看起来你本身似乎与那存在的一切并没有任何关系。佛家所谓的业力,万法唯心等有异曲同工之妙。】直白的从字面来理解,就是你所生活的整个世界都是你自己的创造物而已。
"Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing. Being responsible
for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another. Yet, the truth is this: if you take complete
responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is
your responsibility because it is in your life. This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy
or anything you experience and don't like--
is up for you to heal. They don't exist, in a manner of speaking, except as projections from inside you.
The problem isn't with them, it's with you, and to change them, you have to change you.
哎呀,真是难以理解。对自己的一言一行负责与对自己所看到听到的一切都要负责是两个完全不同性质的问题。然而,真理却就是如此:如果你要真的对自己的一切负完全责任,那么你所,看到、听到、接触或者你所经历的任何事情你都应当负责,因为它出现在你的生命里。这就意味着,恐怖主义,总统、经济或者一切其它你所经历的以及那些你所不喜欢的,都要靠你通过自身的完善去改善。通俗的说,就是如果你本身不存在那样的事情,那么这样的事情就不会存在。问题并不在与存在的事物本身,而在于我们自身,如果我们想改变世界,那么九首先必须要从改变我们自己。
"I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or actually live. Blame is far easier than total responsibility,
but as I spoke with Dr. Len, I began to realize that healing for him and in ho 'oponopono means loving yourself.
"If you want to improve your life, you have to heal your life. If you want to cure anyone, even a mentally
ill criminal you do it by healing you.
我知道这个很难理解,仅仅是接受这个观点并非易事更不要说运用到生活当中。我们更倾向于责难他人之过错而不是对其过错负责,但是随着我与蓝博士交流的深入,我开始意识到治疗他人之疾病以及和和波罗波罗意味着爱自己。“如果你想改善自己的生活,你必须治愈你的生命。如果你希望救助任何别人,即使是一个精神病刑事犯罪者,你也需要通过治愈自己的方式实现。”
"I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly, when he looked at those
patients' files?
我问蓝博士,他是怎样治疗自己的?当他看那些病人的病历材料的时候,他具体都做了些什么?
"'I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again,'he explained.
"That's it?
"That's it.
我只是不断的说“对不起,我爱你”,一遍一遍的不断重复,他解释说。
就这些吗?
是的就这些!
"Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, you
improve your world.
那证明爱自己是最伟大最有效的提升自己生命的途径,当你提高和改善了你自己的生命的时候,你周围的世界也随着开始你的提高而改善而提高。
"Let me give you a quick example of how this works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me.
In the past I would have handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with
the person who sent the nasty message.
现在举一个很浅显的例子:例如某天有人送给我一电子邮件,其内容是我非常的讨厌。如果是在过去我可能会大发雷霆或者试图揣摩送信人的动机是什么?
"This time, I decided to try Dr. Len's method. I kept silently saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you,' I didn't
say it to anyone in particular. I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal within me what was creating
the outer circumstance.
但是这一次,我决定按照蓝博士的方法来处理。我不断的默默的说“对不起,我爱你”,我绝不对任何其他人提及这件事。我仅仅是用唤起我内心里的爱的方式来消灭那些导致外在环境所出现的一切内心的因素。
"Within an hour I got an e- mail write him back. Yet, by saying 'I love you,' I somehow healed within me what
was creating him.
一小时后我写一封回信,仍然告诉他“我爱你”,我在某种程度上已经消灭了那些导致他的行为出现那些不良因素。
"I later attended a ho 'oponopono workshop run by Dr. Len. He's now 70 years old, considered a grandfatherly
shaman, and is somewhat reclusive.
后来我参加了由蓝博士所主持的和和波罗波罗培训班。蓝博士已经70岁了,是一个慈祥的有道之士或者在某种程度上说是个隐士。
He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself, my book's vibration will
raise, and everyone will feel it when they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.
他赞扬了我的书,书名是《最有魅力的人》,他告诉我随着我不断的提高和改善我自己,书的影响力也会随之提高,每个人在读它的时候都会感受到这一点。换句话说,读者会随着我的不断改善而改善。
"'What about the books that are already sold and out there?' I asked.
我问他,我那本书销售情况怎么样呢?卖完了吗?
"'They aren't out there,' he explained, once again blowing my mind with his mystic wisdom. 'They are still in
you.' In short, there is no out there. It would take a whole book to explain this advanced technique with the
depth it deserves.
他用他那震撼我的神秘的智慧告诉我,并没有完,它们仍在你的内心里。简言之,永远也不会穷尽。这需要一整本的书去解释这个高深道理。
"Suffice It to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there's only one place to look: inside
you. When you look, do it with love."
总而言之,无论什么时候你想提高和改善你自己的生命生活,那么只有一个途径你可以去寻觅,那就是你的内心世界。当你观照你的内心世界的时候,你须用爱心。
后记:佛法认为,心生则种种法生,心灭则种种法灭,一切万法无不由心。禅宗六祖惠能大师曾经说“不离自性,即是福田"。
佛事门中,有求必应,从心而觅,感无不通。以前许多人认为是迷信,自己怎么求不到?问题不再佛法本身,而在于所求之道。
对于佛法的实践上,一些高僧大德的那些治病的神奇功效等等,都是修一切善法的结果。
因此,和和波罗波罗虽然并没有冠以佛法的名称,但是他的确是心法,不是向外驰逐,是内道不是外道。它暗合了佛法的精要。也可以说是佛法在世间的另一种示现方式。
佛在金刚经中说修一切善法即得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提,何况世间小小有漏福报呢?
和和波罗波罗是给佛法的一个有力的证明,你只要方法得当,那么一切都可以从内心求得。当然这个内心,并不是说你可以躺在那里不动,求什么什么东西就自动来了,这样的理解是错误的。那已经与道相违了。
比如你不去参加考试却希望自己考试通过一样,是不可能的。是不懂法。所求之道错了,不可能相应。一切万法因人说有,因人而立,如果没有人也就不存在佛法非佛法的问题。你要去改善世界,一方面是自己的心和行为,一方面是你自己心行所引发他人的心行的改善。从而导致整个世界的改善。因此,佛法说自他不二非虚言也。
金刚经说菩萨应当:无人相,无我相,无众生相,无寿者相。也就是没有分别心,这就是已经很高级的心法了。
佛教有偈语,若人知心行,普造诸世间,是人则见佛,了佛真实性。
用心法来治疗精神疾病,这还只是很初级的好处,因为他所求之道正确,所以能够实现。因此,大家也应当有信心一切众生皆堪作佛。
