當我遇到我師父時，他跟我說：「你不是你以為的那個人，去發掘你是誰，觀照那個 “我是” 的感覺，找出真實的你」。我遵從了，因為我信任他，就依照他說的去做，在我所有的空閒時間，我都會在寧靜中觀照自己，很快地就有不同。這就帶來了頭腦的終止，在頭腦的止息裡，我看到我是誰 — 無邊界的。 我只是遵循了我師父的指引，就是讓腦子專注於 “我是"，並且維持在那裡，我以前常會靜坐數小時，腦子裡沒有任何事情，只有 “我是”，很快的，寧靜和喜悅、一種全然包覆的愛成為我的日常狀態，在這狀態中，一切消失了 — 我自己、我師父、我活過的生命、我周遭的世界。只有平靜留下來，和難以言喻的寧靜。

隨著靜心被融入日常生活中，第五種意識狀態（名為宇宙意識）降臨。宇宙意識將整個宇宙視為它自己的一部份，當我們將世界視為我們自己的一部份，愛就在世界和我們之間強烈地流動，這份愛會使我們有力量承擔忍讓對峙的力量和生命中的擾動，憤怒、失望變成瞬間即逝的情緒。 With the assimilation of meditation into daily life, the fifth state of consciousness, called cosmic consciousness, dawns. Cosmic consciousness perceives the whole cosmos as a part of oneself. When we perceive the world as a part of us, love flows strongly between the world and us. This love empowers us to bear with the opposing forces and the disturbances in life. Anger and disappointments become fleeting emotions that occur momentarily and then vanish.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
有兩種氣 (能量)：世俗的氣、真正的氣。世俗的氣混亂而沈重；真正的氣很輕盈且多功能。要表現得好，你必須把自己從世俗的氣中解放出來，讓你的所有器官充滿真正的氣，那是強大技術的基底。 There are two type of ki: ordinary ki and true ki. Ordinary ki is coarse and heavy; true ki is light and versatile. In order to perform well, you have to liberate yourself from ordinary ki and permeate your organs with true ki. That is the basis of powerful technique.

每一天，當你醒來時想著：今天我很幸運可以活著，我有個珍貴的、身而為人的生命，我不會恣意浪費這生命，我將會把所有能量用在培養自己、讓我的心延展關懷到他人、為了眾生利益而成就證悟，我將會對他人保持正向念頭，我不會對他人生氣或有惡念，我將會盡可能地利益眾人。 Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

生命中最重要的事情，是覺醒為你真實的樣貌。 你不僅僅是個人，你是實相的靈魂， 你是照亮一切的意識之光，你是看見一切的存在體， 沒有慾望拉扯的， 你是從存在源頭綻放出來的智慧與愛，你是無生無滅的覺知。
Mooji
關鍵在於來到一個永遠與你內在身體連結的狀態----時時刻刻都在感受它。這會快速深化並轉化你的生命，你將越多意識引向內在身體，它的振動頻率就會提升得越高。 The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it at all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life. The more consciousness you direct into the inner body, the higher its vibrational frequency becomes.
Eckhart Tolle
古老的靜心指示裡說道：起初，思緒會一個接一個地來，不間斷的，像是陡峭山上激流而下的瀑布。逐漸地，當你靜心技巧越臻完美，思緒變成像深窄峽谷裡流的水，一條河慢慢地流向海洋。最後，頭腦變成平靜沈著的海洋，只被偶爾的漣漪或浪花弄皺。 In the ancient meditation instructions, it is said that at the beginning thoughts will arrive one on top of another, uninterrupted, like a steep mountain waterfall. Gradually, as you perfect meditation, thoughts become like the water in a deep, narrow gorge, then a great river slowly winding its way down to the sea; finally the mind becomes like a still and placid ocean, ruffled by only the occasional ripple or wave.

在任何時刻，不管我們感覺多麼迷失，都可以休憩於當下的存在與愛之中。我們只需要停頓下來、深呼吸、將自己敞開給內在那個活生生的經驗。在這醒覺的敞開感裡，我們回歸到自身本有覺知的平靜與自由裡。 In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love. We need only pause, breathe, and open to the experience of aliveness within us. In the wakeful openness, we come home to the peace and freedom of our own natural awareness.
Tara Brach
無知就像是你睡覺的黑暗房間，不管房間暗了多久，是一小時或是一百萬年，覺知的燈光點亮的那一刻，整個房間就光火通明了。你就是那光明，你就是那明晰的光。 “Ignorance can be compared to a dark room in which you sleep. No matter how long the room has been dark, an hour or a million years, the moment the lamp of awareness is lit the entire room becomes luminous. You are that luminosity. You are that clear light.”
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
我們是我們自認為的模樣。我們想法中的習慣傾向決定了我們的天份、能力及人格特質，所以不管你想要成為什麼樣子，現在就開始建立那個模式。 We are what we think we are. The habitual inclination of our thoughts determines our talents and abilities, and our personality. So whatever you want to be, start to develop that pattern now.

我們在生命中尋找的一切----所有快樂、滿足感、頭腦的平靜---都在這當下，我們本有的覺知意識基本上就純淨而美好的，唯一的問題在於我們太被生命中起伏所牽絆，而沒有停下來注意到我們已然擁有的事物。 All that we are looking for in life — all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind — is right here in the present moment. Our very own awareness is itself fundamentally pure and good. The only problem is that we get so caught up in the ups and downs of life that we don’t take the time to pause and notice what we already have.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
若感知的門被清理了，每件事就會如實呈現：無窮盡的。 If the doors of perception were cleansed. Everything would appear as it is; infinite.
William Blake
覺醒不是一個建構自己的過程，而是一個放下的過程，它是一個放鬆到中間的過程—— 那個矛盾的、抽象的中間，充滿潛能、充滿想與看的新方式——完全無法保證下一刻會發生什麼事。 Awakening is not a process of building ourselves up but a process of letting go. It’s a process of relaxing in the middle—the paradoxical, ambiguous middle, full of potential, full of new ways of thinking and seeing—with absolutely no money-back guarantee of what will happen next.
佩瑪丘卓
克服恐懼的方法是：很單純地去做正確的事。 The way to overcome fear is simply to do what is right. 通往和諧與進展的路徑，是一直試著做正確的事，直到你學好這門功課。 The path of harmony and progress is to keep on trying to do the right thing, until you master the lesson.
Master Choa Kok Sui
跨越整個天堂的神聖之光，必須降臨大地，並且照亮一切直至最深的海底。 The Divine Light that spans Heaven must descend to Earth and illuminate everything right to the bottom of the sea.

別讓你的生命平庸地運行；做些沒人做過的事，會讓世界目眩神迷的事。去展現說：神的創造法則在你身上適用！ You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God's creative principle works in you.
