五毒‧五種情緒 / The Five Emotions ( 2 ) ─流水永不於山峰之頂匯聚，誠敬永不於傲慢之崖聚集

傲慢：

勿隨傲慢而直視執心

慢心自解乃本初智慧

本空平等性智而無他

慢自解脫中持六字明

無論何時我們獲得某種可敬的品質、某種特別的知識或技巧，傲慢就會立即生起並毀掉這種好的特質，無論這種特質是什麽。

被自大所控制，陶醉於自身之美貌、智力、學識和力量，我們便會完全無視於偉大導師們真純而完美的素質。

現實中，即使平凡如我們，於迷失輪迴的幻像中，偶爾也會碰巧擁有一點好的品質，但肯定遠不及缺點多。

比起偉大生命所具有之不可思量的美德，我們自身所擁就如同一粒塵埃般的微不足道。

實際上，我們所無比自豪的美德，往往是僞裝的缺點罷了。

是以，無論你具有何種有限而不穩定的才能，絕對沒有理由爲它們感到驕傲。

即如俗諺所云：

「流水永不於山峰之頂匯聚，

誠敬永不於傲慢之崖聚集。」

傲慢阻止你發展虔誠、智慧、或慈悲，

封閉你於上師的加持之外，

阻斷修行道路上的一切進步。

所以，爲了避免傲慢的危險，誠實地檢視自己很重要。

如果你仔細分析傲慢，你會發現它並非實際存在於你爲之驕傲的事物之中，而是來自於執著的心念。

倘若你總是謙恭自牧，傲慢就會如晨霧般消失；自傲慢中解脫出來的心智會恆常安住於觀世音的平等性智中。

Pride:

Don't chase after the object of pride; look at the grasping mind.

Self-importance, liberated by itself as it arises, is primodial wisdom;

This primodial voidness is none other than the wisdom of essential sameness.

In the self-liberation of pride, recite the six-syllable mantra.

Whenever we acquire some admirable quality, some particular knowledge or skill, pride arises in no time and spoils that positive attribute, whatever it might be. Overwhelmed by self-importance, dazzled by our own beauty, intelligence, learning and power, we are completely blind to all the genuine and perfect qualities of the great teachers. But in reality, even if ordinary people such as ourselves, lost in samsara's delusions, sometimes happen to have a few good qualities, these are sure to be far outnumbered by faults, and compared to the immeasurable virtues of the great beings, our own are as minute as a speck of flour. Indeed, the virtues of which we feel so proud are very often defects in disguise.

So whatever limited and unstable talents you may have, there is absolutely no reason to feel proud of them. As the saying goes, "Just as water never collects on top of the mountain peak, true worth never collects on top of the crag of pride." Pride stops you developing devotion, wisdom, or compassion; it closes you off from the teacher's blessings and impedes all progress on the path. So, to avoid the dangers of pride, it is important to examine yourself honestly.

If you analyze pride carefully, you will find that it is not inherent in whatever you feel proud of, but is produced by the grasping mind. If you always stick to a modest position and keep your mind humble, pride will vanish like morning mist. A mind free of the grip of pride remains always in Chenrezi's wisdom of essential sameness.
