During the peak of coronavirus pandemic in Sri Lanka, that is mid 2020, I came up with a surprising way to fill my life with bliss and grace. A magical mantra was nurturing in the garden of my mind. It felt like all good thoughts that I have planted in my mind has begun to blossom into something beautiful. This magical mantra was like a magic pill for all perceived suffering, which not only affected my life but everyone else connected to me.
斯里蘭卡的新型冠狀病毒大流行 在 2020 年中達到高峰, 當時我想出了一種意料之外的方式, 讓我的人生充滿了幸福和恩典。 一句魔法真言滋養了我的心靈花園。 感覺就像是 我在我心靈中 種下的所有善良的想法 都開始綻放出美麗的花朵。 這句魔法真言就像魔法藥丸, 可以治療所有苦難, 這些苦難不僅影響我的人生, 也影響了和我有所連結的每個人。
Thirty-eight years of my life, I went on a self-seeking journey, finding, who am I? I went through a conscious dying process, letting go of everything attached to my name: well-established career as a coach, a charity consultant, hypnotherapist, energy healer, intimate relationships, attachment to family, 12 years of well-established business. So what was this magical mantra that transformed my life for better?
三十八年的人生旅程中, 我都在尋找我是誰。 我經歷了一段有意識的死亡過程, 放下和我名字相連的一切: 卓越的教練職涯、 慈善機構顧問、催眠治療家、 能量療癒師、 親密關係、對家庭的依附、 十二年穩固的事業。 所以讓我人生變得更好的 這句魔法真言是什麼?
"Thank you" were the two simple words that filled the space between my ears like a music in my head. This was experienced profoundly during the pandemic, as everyone connected to me was filled with fear and doubt and anxiety, and I had to do something different. The first thought came to my mind, first thing in the morning as I woke up, was, "Thank you." And the last thought occupied my mind when I went to sleep at night was, "Thank you." I was thinking, "Thank you" when I ate, when I drank, when I worked, when I walked, sat silently, when I consumed every man-made material. It was like a music in my mind. Sometimes I said the word "thank you" loudly even to inanimate objects like sun and the moon and the stars, birds, butterflies, trees, little creatures in the garden as if I was greeting them.
「謝謝」這兩個簡單的字, 就像我腦中的音樂, 充滿了我的兩耳之間。 在疫情期間,這種感受很深刻, 因為和我連結的每個人 都滿是恐懼、懷疑、焦慮, 我得用不同的做法。 我早上醒來的第一個念頭 就是「謝謝」。 在我晚上入睡前, 佔據我腦袋的最後一個想法 也是「謝謝」。 無論是吃飯、喝水、工作、 走路時、靜靜坐著時, 或是消費所有人造物品時, 我總是想著「謝謝」。 那就像是我腦中的音樂。 有時,我甚至是對著 無生命的物體說「謝謝」, 像是太陽、月亮、星星、 鳥、蝴蝶、樹木、花園中的小生物, 似乎是在跟它們打招呼。
When you say "thank you," it creates a harmony between you and the external condition under observation. It helps you to bring your attention inwards. It may be initially just a word running in your head without a true feeling of gratitude in your heart. A word is a sound, and a sound is a vibration, and vibration creates energy. So when you keep thinking, "Thank you," after a while, that energy start penetrating into your heart center and the rest of the body.
當你說「謝謝」時, 這兩個字會在你 與眼見的外在條件之間 創造出一種和諧。 它能協助你把注意力向內帶。 一開始,它可能只是 你腦海中的幾個字, 你還沒有感受到發自內心的感激。 字就是聲音, 聲音就是震動, 震動能創造能量。 所以當你持續想著「謝謝」, 一陣子之後,那能量會開始滲入 你的心中以及身體其他地方。
We cannot do much about troubled times and conditions in life, but we certainly can do something to calm ourselves during troubled times. Human mind is like water. If it gets affected by external conditions, it creates movement and you cannot see the depth. This magical mantra, "thank you," and the true feeling of gratitude in your heart can help you deal with any life situation peacefully, joyfully and blissfully. May all beings be well, happy, free from all suffering and be enlightened.
我們無法改變 混亂的時代及生活中的境況, 但在混亂的時代我們肯定可以 做點什麼來讓我們自己平靜下來。 人腦就像水一樣。 當它受到外在的狀況影響時, 它就會動, 你就看不見水面下的東西。 這句魔法真言「謝謝」, 以及你心中真誠的感激, 能協助你平靜、愉悅、無憂地 處理任何人生境遇。 願所有人都能安好、快樂、免受苦難, 並有所開悟。
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
謝謝。 謝謝。 謝謝。
