真正的自由和無法解脫的無知陷阱

 

        印度教和佛教皆一致認為Avidya(無知)是所有痛苦的根源.它造成眾多的問題。

 

人類已喪失和宇宙合一的天性‧現在人類發展出以自我中心的生活,將個人的喜好凌駕在社會福祉之上;發展了佔有欲和將每一個人視為自己的潛在敵人。

人依附著自然,依附著鄰居,簡而言之, 人類所依附的都是稍縱即逝的事物,人變成一個被分割的不完整的個人,被懷疑,恐懼,苦惱所折磨著‧

 

這個世界存在著不斷的恐懼‧

 

藉由信仰或宗教可以克服恐懼,它是失敗和死亡的解藥

 

我們不能用幻覺麻醉我們自己來驅散懷疑

而是需要用智慧來擺脫恐懼,得到真正的自由.

True Freedom and the Inextricable Snares of Ignorance

 

  Hindu and Buddhist thinkers, with a singular unanimity declare that Avidya (ignorance) is the source of or anguish and all our trouble. Man’s nature of oneness with the living universe is lost. He develops an egocentric view of life and puts his individual preference above social welfare; He develops an acquisitive instinct and looks upon every other being as his potential enemy. He clings to nature, to his neighbors, in short, to everything, which is evanescent. He becomes a divided being, tormented by doubt, fear, suffering. There is a split in his oneness. The world lives in incessant fear. Religion is the conquest of fear, an antidote to failure and death. We cannot dispel out doubts by drugging ourselves with illusions. True freedom from fear is gained by Wisdom.
