【禪修的益處_中】
───究竟大象是什麼模樣呢？
.
古人有個成語，叫「盲人摸象」。
第一個盲人說：「大象像一根大水管。」因為他摸到了象鼻子；
第二個說：「不是，大象是個大柱子。」因為他摸到象腿；
第三個摸到耳朵說：「大象長得像扇子。」
第四個摸到尾巴說：「大象其實是一條小草繩。」
.
其實，這些都不是大象的真實面貌。
.
當我們的精神境界不夠寬廣，我們對外在世界的認識和評論，就可能會有偏差，有了偏差之後，自己的判斷和情緒，也會產生錯誤。
.
那麼要如何避免這樣的錯誤偏差呢？
又如何正確的認識自己呢？
通過「禪修」能有效幫助我們！

【The Benefits Of Meditation – Part 2】 – What does an elephant look like?
There is a well-known parable about four blind men and an elephant.
The first blind man who touched the elephant’s trunk said: “An elephant is like a big water hose.”
“No, no,” said the second blind man who touched the elephant’s leg. “An elephant is like a pillar.”
The third blind man who touched the ear said: “It is like a fan.”
The fourth blind man who touched the tail said: “The elephant is like a rope.”
In reality, none of these is an accurate description of an elephant.
When our state of mind is not expansive enough, our understanding of the world will be biased. When that happens, our judgement and emotional reactions to the events around us will be skewed.
So how can we prevent such distortions from happening?
How do we get to know ourselves?
The answer is in meditation!
