其實你要做的事就是稍微偏離「自我」的要求，那即是出離。例如，你通常在咖啡中加兩塊糖，但是你知道自己也許明天，甚或下一刻就會死去，可能沒有機會喝一口咖啡；如果同事不小心在你的咖啡中加了四塊糖，你會覺得沒有什麼大不了的，你會真心誠意地說：「沒關係！」心中也這樣想。你並不是希望別人認為你是個好人，只不過你不認為這是生命中的大事。

當你到達這種「它沒有什麼大不了」的階段，就已經具備出離心了。那表示出離了生活中「每件事情都很嚴重」的層面。

In fact, what you need to do is slightly off from "oneself" requirement, that is Renunciation. For example, normally you will add two pieces of sugar into your cup of coffee. But as you realize, you may die tomorrow, or just next moment, and couldn't have chance to drink any coffee; if your colleagues add four pieces of sugar into your coffee accidentally, you might think it doesn't matter at all. You will say sincerely to him, "It's alright" and your heart feel the same way too. It's doesn't mean you are pretending you are a good person, but don't think that is a big deal indeed.

When you reach the stage of "It is not a big deal", you have some kind of renunciation. That also means, you had reach the level of renunciation from "taking everything very serious" in your life.

一切源於你的思想。所有事情都是由我們思想所「自我演譯」而產生。所有事物都是你的「想像」。介乎想像中間，存在著＂幻想＂和＂真實＂。沒有任何一樣東西，不是從我們「想像」而演變出來的！

Everything is your mind; interpretation of your mind. Everything is your imagination. Within imagination is the fantasy and reality. There is nothing which is not an imagination!

~ 宗薩欽哲 仁波切 Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche— 與 Tenzin Thinley 。

當佛教徒談論「痛苦」，我們並不是說頭痛，抑鬱等。如果我們認為以上所說的就是痛苦，已經太遲了。我們在談論的是「改變」和「不確定」。每一天都有事情在改變。任何事物都在轉變；任何事情都是不確定。這就是痛苦！

When Buddhist talk about pain. We are not talking about headache, depression, that is too late. We are talking about change and uncertainty. Everyday something is changing. Everything is changing. Everything is uncertain. And, that is suffering!!!

~ 宗薩欽哲 仁波切Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

What Makes You a Buddhist?

It’s not the clothes you wear, the ceremonies you perform, or the meditation you do. It’s not what you eat, how much you drink, or who you have sex with. It’s whether you agree with the four fundamental discoveries the Buddha made under the Bodhi tree, and if you do, you can call yourself a Buddhist ~

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

出離是，我們要真正看清楚無止境的世間生活，並無任何實質意義。這個認知會帶來一定程度的沮喪，但我認為這是好的。我開始暸解到沮喪是好的，尤其如果你是一個真正的修行人。我想，這就是蔣貢康楚仁波切所說的 : 「悲傷之心」。

看清楚世間生活的徒然無益，會使你渴望證悟與解脫；這是一個好的開始。原因是，當尋求證悟成為你主要的動機，遲早會有一條路引領你到一位真的能夠向你指出證悟之道的上師，因為你知道你要的是什麼，你心中有數。

Renunciation is, we really see (realize) the endless worldly life, has no real meaning. This recognition will bring a certain extent of frustration (sadness), but I think it is good. I began to understand that frustration (sadness) is good, especially if you are a true practitioner. I think this is as Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche said: "The Heart of Sadness". 

Look at life in this futile world, will make you eager to attend enlightenment and liberation; This is a good start. The reason is, when looking forward of enlightenment becomes your aim, sooner of later it will lead you to a true guru, who may point out the way to enlightenment. Because you know what you want, you know it so well from your heart. 

~ 宗薩欽哲仁波切 Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche—

長年累月努力於禪修當然很好，但是任何修行都比不上憶念上師。即使只是憶起上師的名字，也能消除混亂的思想，並獲得如海洋般浩瀚的功德。

Spending years and years in meditation is excellent, but it is nothing compared to a single moment of remembering the guru. Even just remembering the guru's name will dispel confusion and accumulate countless oceans of merit.

~ 宗薩欽哲仁波切 Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

精神道路就像墜入愛河。如果你選擇一種宗教是因為金錢等，那麼這就像娶一個妻子或嫁一個丈夫是因為對方富有。這不是發自內心的。只要人們真誠地探尋，我想他們選任何道路都是好的。任何種類的精神道路都是重要的。

The spiritual path is like falling in love. If you choose a religion because of money, etc., then this is like marry a wife or a rich husband because of their wealth. This is not from heart. As long as people explore with devotion, I think no matter which path they choose will be good. Any kind of spiritual path are important indeed.
