【善用萬物_提升自我】
.
在西方神話中有一種神鳥叫「鳳凰」，雄為鳳、雌為凰，又被稱為火鳥、或不死鳥。傳說天方國的鳳凰，每500年就會集香木自焚為灰燼，再從灰燼中浴火重生。而鳳凰每一次的重生，就能獲得比以往更強大的生命力，如此周而復始，直至「鳳凰涅槃」，獲得永生。
.
而我們經過禪修之後，觀察能力、視覺能力、以至於各種能力，從寬度、深度、廣度。在境界上也會有很大差別，我們從一個凡人的基礎上，修到了視覺能力，和精神境界都超越過去，甚至超越了凡人，自然我們的能量就會比過去增強；而我們的思維方式、智慧也將比過去強上很多。
.
當深入修行到一個程度的時候，我們也有機會，生出許多超越原本能力的超能力，可以跨越時間、空間去看我們自己、看這個世界，去順應於這個世界、甚至是利用這個世界，讓自己飛升起來，這叫什麼呢？——「善用萬物而入鳳凰涅槃」，通俗地講就是「烏鴉變鳳凰」，提升我們的肉體與精神境界。
.
本周的共修，我們就來聊聊如何通過「禪修」，來提升我們的心靈視覺，讓我們的人生達到更高的境界？大家可以留言分享你的感想和經驗、或分享這篇《心靈的視覺》給其他需要幫助的有緣人。
.
祝福朋友們的人生更燦爛、更吉祥！

Make the best of everything to elevate oneself.
In Western mythology there is a kind of sacred bird called “phoenix” which is also known as firebird or long-lived bird. According to legend, the phoenix cyclically regenerates or born again after every 500 years through gathering incense wood and burning itself to ashes. With every rebirth, the phoenix gains stronger life force and this keeps repeating until it eventually attains Nirvana and gains an eternal life.
Through meditation, our observation and visual skills improve. Thus we have better ability and able to view broader and deeper. Our spiritual realm also transcend to a level higher than that of a normal human being. So naturally our energy will be stronger than in the past and so will be our thinking ability and wisdom.
When our practice has reached a certain depth, we will find ourselves gaining new ability beyond our original ability. We may even have the ability to look at the world and ourselves beyond time and space. We may be able to adapt to the world by using what the world has to offer. We refer to this as – “making the best of everything to attain phoenix’s state of Nirvana” or simply, “transforming a crow into a phoenix” to explain the elevation of our physical and mental state of mind.
In this week’s global group practice, let us discuss how we can elevate our spiritual mind through meditation. I welcome all to share your thoughts, experiences and your spiritual transformations in the path of your self-cultivation!
May all enjoy a fulfilling, happy and auspicious life!
