水壼中的覺性大海

有一個想要追求自我實相的人，某日前往謁見一位大師，並懇求能夠讓他開悟。

「我全心地想尋找實相真理，因此既不能休息、工作也無法得到安適，您是否可以幫助我證悟實相？」大師眼呈半閉，不散亂地凝視了遠方一會兒，緩緩道出：「帶著一只水壼於清晨時刻到海邊去，掬取一些海水倒入壼中，在你開始一天的雜務之前，坐在沙灘上禪修片刻。」

謝過大師之後，此人立即買了一只水壼，並且急切地前往住處附近的海邊。他將海水裝進壼中，靜坐於海灘上，他納悶著該如何禪修。試過了許多先前學過，而他認為應該具效的頌文，以及威力強大的咒語，但卻絲毫沒有效果。

然而大師沒有給他任何特別的咒語，唯獨說過：「只管放鬆，禪修、並且放鬆！」這兩者對他而言有些許矛盾。對他來說，禪修意味著專注並且有所造作，而放鬆表示無有造作以及放下。他思惟著此中的分立一會兒，突然想起有件重要的事需處理，於是如同被教導的一般，將水倒於沙上，並且趕忙回家去。

儘管矛盾，然而他卻感到一些撫慰以及輕鬆，甚至覺得自己就像個充滿活力的小男孩。於是次日翌晨，及至往後的每天清晨，他都前往海邊。現在，這已然成為他的例行活動。每一天，他感到漸入佳境，同時學會適當的放鬆。日復一日，放鬆與專注間的矛盾自行向其顯現，而每一次就會令他更深入地掌握一點。他並未意識到，也不知道，沉思本身已成了一種咒語，不費力地，不動搖地，自然而然地一種鬆弛的專注。

他像是禪修般望向大海，延展到地平線，彷彿無有盡頭。現在，他看著水壼中的水無二無別。一邊廣大無邊，另一邊只是其一小撮；一邊稱之為大海，另一邊只是一壺水，但內容卻是相同，其所差別的只是分量。

廣大無邊的海洋維繫著許多的生命，甚至是數不清的穢物、所有的風暴等等，海面下卻盡是深度的沈寂與平靜。大海不受到此中任何事物的干擾，依然維持著本身的純淨與清澈、充滿能量並且快樂地舞動著。

突然間，他的心被觸動了，這就是實相！

廣大、無止盡、純淨、能覺知、能吞噬所有的事物，涵括他自己─只是是由自己的明覺取代了海水。儘管晦暗的心顯現的瞋怒、暴力、仇恨、偏見等等的所有渣滓，它依然是潔淨無瑕如同水晶般清澈。

他將水壼中的水倒回海中，讓它消逝在層層疊疊的波浪中，再次與大海合而為一。他亦已瞭知到自己也是明覺汪洋中的一部分；融入其中，一如明覺本身，成為無邊無際的、無窮盡的、純淨與全然的喜悅，並且覺知這一切！

Ocean of knowledge in a pot of water

A man in the path to seek truth of self went to a master one day and begged him to enlighten him.

"I am obessed with seeking out the truth. I can neither rest, work nor be at peace. Can you help me find the truth?" The master gazed far wary with half-crossed eyes for a while, and said slowly, " Go with a pot to the ocean in the mornings, gather some water in it and, sitting on the sands, meditate for some time before beinning your day's chores".

Thanking the master, the man immediatly bought a pot and eagerly went to the ocean near his house. He filled the pot with seawater and sat down on the beach. On what should be mediate, he wondered. He had tried many supposedly potent verses and powerful manstras earlier, to no effect.

The master had, however, not given any special mantra. Just relax, he had said. Meditate and relax! The two seemed to him a little contradictory. Meditating, to him, meant concentation and action, and relaxing meant idling and letting go. He thought over this dichotomy for some time but suddenly remembered an important chore. He poured the water back on the sand as he had been told to do, and hurried home.

Contradciton notwithstanding, he somehow felt a little soothed and relaxed. He even felt a tad energised. SO he went again the next morning, and every morning thereafter. Now this became his routine. Every day, he felt a little better and even learnt to relax fairly well. Repeatedly, the contradiction between relaxation and concentration presented itself to him and each time he slipped a little deeper in its grips. He was not aware that, unknown to him, the cogitation itself had become a mantra. Effortless, unwavering, natural, a relaxed concentrating.

The man looked meditatively at the ocean that stretched far to the horizon, almost endless. Now it surrounded him too and encompassed him . He looked at the water in the pot. That water too came from the ocean and although a minuscule part of it, it was the very same. One was vast and infinite, and the other, a tiny part of it. One called the ocean, and the other, a pot of water. But the contents were the same. The difference was in the measure. The infinite sustained a multitude of life, even untold filth, all turbulence, and yet, a deep silence and calm beneath. THe ocean itself was not afectd by any of this. It remained pure and clear within itself, full of energy and dancing with joy.

Suddenly it hit him, this is the truth! Vast, endless, pure and knowledgeable, engulfing everything, including himself. Only, instead of water, now it was Consciousness. Immaculate and crystal clear, despite all the festering scum of anger, violence, hatred, prejudice generated by the murky mind.

The man poured the water back into the sea. It disappeared in the lapping waves and became one with the sea again. The man saw that he, too, was part of vast ocean of Consciousness, had merge in it and become Consciousness itself, infinite, eternal, pure, sheer joy, and knowledge.
