隆波甘哈（又譯：隆波間夏、阿贊間夏）俗名Ganha Sriwongsa，巴利法名：Sukhakamo。佛曆2493年（西元1950年）3月5日出生於泰國烏汶府。他是泰國著名大修行人阿姜査的親族（他外婆的父親跟阿姜査的外公是親兄弟）。佛曆2513年（西元1970年），年滿二十歲的他在位於烏汶府城Ubon Ratchathani區，同時也是烏汶府首間法宗派Thammayut1寺院的Wat Supatwanaram出家。戒師為Phraraj Dhammasudhi。

在出生地的寺院Wat Sirimongkon度過第一個雨安居後，阿姜査慈悲接引他至巴蓬寺，並指導他在座下修行三年。其後就隨比丘師兄出外，開始他的行腳生涯。隆波甘哈每年行腳超過六個月以上，足跡遍佈泰國、緬甸、老撾、柬埔寨、馬來西亞諸國。直至2543年（西元2000年）他停止行腳時，一生行腳累積的步行距離超過六萬公里。

隆波甘哈一生嚴格遵守阿姜査所教的規矩和戒律，明顯可見的包括日食一餐、不私有金錢、不閱報、不聽收音機、不看電視、不用電話等。雖然持素不是比丘戒律，但他為訓練舍己付出，終生持素。一開始時沒有告訴居士，長時間只吃米飯，後來才為人所知。直至現在，他所住的寺院仍是奉行素食。

他首間主持寺院是位於帕省Phrae的Wat Phrae Dhammaram。由於修行精嚴，普受泰北八省人民尊敬。佛曆2536（西元1993）年，僧王發出文書欲加授他Samanasak頭銜，做整個泰北區的僧團首長，他回應拒絕。僧王當時示下：「若不接受Samanasak頭銜，那就接受戒師資格吧，那就可以剃度比丘。因為你年紀大了，舟車勞頓不方便。」隆波甘哈接受了這個特別授予的戒師資格，可以剃度本土及外國比丘。時至今日隆波甘哈的分院已超過三十間。每年生日和袈裟節來赴會的比丘超過二百位，居士不計其數。

隆波甘哈曾說：「Luang Ta Maha Bua（摩訶布瓦尊者，已故泰國近代著名森林派大師）曾多次（差不多十次）請他照顧泰國人民。」近年隆波甘哈大力發展公益事務，包括幫助寺院附近的村莊發展學校、村中寺院；為附近森林保護區建設水池和種草，以保護瀕臨絕種的野生牛群；另外又為省府王立醫院興建新大樓等。慈悲德名，日漸廣傳。

能忍比丘Bhikkhu Khantiko

佛曆2559年3月

傳聞， 有一次阿姜查所在的地方下起了大雨。

當時阿姜查和隆波間夏在一起。

隆波間夏見狀便向阿姜查說要先去睡一睡。

誰不知隆波間夏原來是去了打坐， 他入到定境後心識去到天界， 然後對天神們說要停止下雨。

出定後雨便停了。

之後他再去見阿姜查， 阿姜查便說， 你用神通了嗎? 不要再這樣做了( 註釋：因為會干擾了四季的自然法則)

*阿姜查和隆波間夏互相是親戚， 他們兩位都被認為是阿羅漢， 隆波間夏更被認為是六通阿羅漢

我們禪修，不是去獲得什麼，只是純粹禪修

當我們禪修，我們專注快樂地呼吸入，開心地呼吸出

舒適地呼吸進，舒適地呼吸出

就這樣，禪定自然就會發生

we meditate, not to gain anything but to simply be. When we meditate, we focus on breathing in happily and breathing out happily. Breathing in comfortably, breathing out comfortably. Then, concentration naturally arises.

禪修其實也是很容易。

1. 就是要把過去丟掉， 未來也丟掉。

2.當下就是把自我平息

3.然後就快樂地呼和吸

這樣做的話就不需要去要什麼。 因為想要的心其實是有問題。

如果可以消除自我， 十分鐘十五分鐘， 半個小時都很好。 佛陀說這樣還不夠， 一定要每個姿勢， 每個威儀都要修，所以來工作的時候， 也要拿來修這個禪定。一定要懂得快樂地工作。 如果我們只是以自我為中心的話呢，從小孩到大人， 甚至比丘還是沒有什麼變化

《Base on ego makes everyone argues with us》

If we base everything on our own ego,

Then things will not be okay.

Others won’t be okay either.

Even our children will argue with us.

And intellectuals will protest in the streets.

No one wants to argue with their parents.

No one wants to march in protest—but they do, when there’s no budget.

If we place the ego at the center, we lose sovereignty.

We must bring righteousness back.

Bring sovereignty back.

Bring Nibbāna back.

Bring peace back.

That is what we must understand.

<以自我為中心使每個人與我們爭論>

如果我們把一切建立在自己的自我之上，

那麼事情就不會好。

其他人也不會好。

甚至我們的孩子也會與我們爭論。

知識分子會在街頭抗議。

沒有人想與父母爭論。

沒有人想要參加抗議，但當錢不足時，他們會這樣做。

如果我們將自我置於中心，我們就會失去主權。

我們必須讓正義回歸。

讓主權回歸。

讓涅槃回歸。

讓和平回歸。

這就是我們必須理解的。

<Focus on ourselves>

We must feel joy and happiness, and develop one-pointedness in our practice.

We must be devoted to our own cultivation.

If we only tell others what to do—only teach others—

But never correct ourselves, it will collapse, just like the State Audit Office building in Thailand.

Luang Phor say there are dozens of buildings in Bangkok.

Even more in the surrounding provinces.

But they haven’t collapsed, because the corruption is less.

The State Audit Office—it collapsed because of extreme corruption.

All of us must focus on ourselves.

The Buddha focused on himself.

Jesus, Prophet Muhammad —they focused on themselves.

We must understand this clearly.

<專注於自己>

我們必須感受到喜悅和快樂，並在修行中發展心的一境。
我們必須專注於自己的修行。
如果我們只是告訴別人該怎麼做——只教導他人——
卻從不修正自己，那麼這一切將會崩潰，就像泰國的國家審計辦公室大樓一樣。

隆波說，曼谷有數十棟建築。
周邊省份的建築還更多。
但它們並沒有崩潰，因為貪腐較少。
國家審計辦公室——它因極端貪腐而崩潰。

我們所有人都必須專注於自己。
佛陀專注於自己。
耶穌、穆罕默德先知——他們都專注於自己。
我們必須清楚理解這一點。

<Religion and laws>

To enact what is right

And abolish what ought to be abandoned.

<All Great people are givers>

Luang Phor is now going to walk around and take care of everyone.

All of you must also give warmth and care to others.

The Buddha is someone who gives.

Jesus is someone who gives.

Allah is someone who gives.

All the great kings are givers.

Government officials and politicians are supposed to be givers—people who are selfless.

Monastics are also givers, those who live with self-sacrifice.

If we do not give, if we are not selfless,

Then we are people without morality, without Dhamma.

Without morality, we cannot have stillness.

Without stillness, we have no wisdom.

We’re left only with ‘self’—clinging to ego.

《所有偉大的人都是施予者》

隆波現在要四處走動，照顧每個人。
你們所有人也必須給予他人溫暖和關懷。

佛陀是施予者。
耶穌是施予者。
真主是施予者。
所有偉大的國王都是施予者。
政府官員和政治家應該是施予者——無私的人。
出家人也是施予者，過著自我犧牲的生活。

如果我們不施予，如果我們不無私，
那麼我們就是沒有道德（戒）、沒有法的人的。
沒有戒，我們無法擁有定。
沒有定，我們就沒有智慧。
我們只剩下「自我」——緊緊抓住自我。

---- 隆波甘哈
2025年4月30日

If we cling to the self, it will never cool.

Holding onto the self is like living in Perth during January and February—

not only is it unbearably hot,

but there are also swarms of flies everywhere.

Do you agree? Do you see this?

We must understand. ...

若執著於「我」，心就永遠不得清涼。
緊抓「我見」不放，猶如一二月的珀斯——
不僅酷熱難當，
更處處蠅群飛舞。
可曾體會？能否覺察？

此理當明。......

The word "Buddha"refers to wisdom.

It is not about acting according to one’s whims or desires.

Only when we live like this

will our lives not be dragged along by the environment.

Only then will our lives have peace and wisdom.

Only then will our lives possess morality (sīla), concentration (samādhi), and wisdom (paññā).

「佛」這個詞，指的就是智慧。

它並非隨心所欲、依循自己的心血來潮。

唯有如此生活，

我們的生命才不會被環境牽著走。

唯有如此，生命才能擁有平靜與智慧。

唯有如此，生命才能具備戒（sīla）、定（samādhi）、慧（paññā）。

《Be resolute》

Yesterday, Luang Phor asked the bhikkhunī.

Luang Phor asked a Korean bhikkhunī yesterday:

"Now that you are ordained, will you disrobe or not?"

She replied, "I’m not sure yet."

But one must be resolute.

One must have firm principles, ideals, and noble ideals like this.

We must let righteousness lead our lives.

If we let uncertainty lead, it will not work.

Because when we have principles, ideals, noble Dhamma ideals,

like in the time of the Buddha,

they ordained for the sake of Nibbāna.

They did not ordain with the feeling of 'I’m not sure yet.'

....

We must have principles, ideals, and noble ideals like this.

If we are uncertain, better not to ordain.

It must be steady.

《下定決心》

昨天，隆波問了一位韓國比丘尼：

「現在你已經出家了，將來會還俗嗎？」

她回答：「我還不確定。」

但人必須下定決心。

必須有堅定的原則、理想，像這樣崇高的理想。

我們必須讓正義引導人生。

若讓猶豫不決主導，是行不通的。

因為當我們擁有原則、理想、崇高的佛法理想時，

就像佛陀時代那樣，

他們是為了涅槃而出家。

他們出家時不會帶著「我還不確定」的心態。

....

我們必須擁有這樣的原則、理想與崇高的志向。

若心存猶豫，不如不要出家。

心意必須堅定不移。

2025年4月26日

The existence of a self causes unrest; it cannot control itself.

When people criticize us, it’s no big deal.

It’s only because of our sense of self that we want to defend ourselves.

That "self" only tries to defend itself; it does not truly correct itself.

‘自我’的存在引起不安；它無法自我控制。

當人們批評我們時，這沒有什麼。

只是因為我們的自我感，我們才想要為自己辯護。

When Luang Phor go to visit Luang Pu Uthai,

Luang Phor see that Luang Pu Uthai

has Nibbāna as his abiding place for his mind.

Luang Phor observe this.

There is a natural balance within him —

a perfect balance,

If someone wants to thread a small needle,

there must be precision,

a perfect balance.

當隆波前去拜訪隆普烏泰時，
隆波觀察到Luang Por Uthai
已將涅槃作為心的歸宿。

隆波如是見證：
在他內在有一種自然的平衡——
一種完美的平衡，
猶如針眼般精微。

若有人想穿過細小的針眼，
必須精準無誤，
達到完美的平衡。

《Fortunate Singaporeans》

The people of Singapore are fortunate.

They had 'Lee Kuan Yew' as their leader.

'Lee Kuan Yew' developed both the material and the spiritual aspects.

That's why Luang Phor praises 'Lee Kuan Yew'.

About thirty years ago,

Luang Phor was riding in a car in Singapore.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Luang Phor asked the driver,

'Why don't you answer it?'

The driver replied,

'We can't, Luang Phor.

On this road, it’s prohibited to answer calls.

If we do, they will know immediately.'

Hearing that, Luang Phor thought,

'Oh, this is excellent.'

Luang Phor reflected,

'In Thailand, even if it's forbidden,

people would still look left and right,

and if they don't see anyone, they'd pick up the call anyway.'

When the heart has a sense of self —

what they call a heart with a husband and a wife —

it cannot be restrained.

We must have Sīla (moral discipline) as our anchor,

to let go of selfhood.

Whatever is unwholesome, we must neither think, speak, nor act upon it.

Everyone must have righteousness as the abiding place for the mind.

People must have something to anchor themselves to.

We must have Sīla, Dhamma,

and the Constitution of Dhamma as our abiding place.

《幸運的新加坡人》

新加坡人是幸運的。

他們有李光耀作為他們的領導者。

李光耀發展了物質和精神兩個方面。

這就是為什麼龍坡讚美李光耀。

約三十年前，

龍坡在新加坡的一輛車裡。

突然，司機電話響了。

龍坡問司機，

「為什麼不接電話？」

司機回答，

「我們不能，龍坡。

在這條路上，禁止接聽電話。

如果接了，執法者立刻就會知道。」

聽到這裡，龍坡心想，

「哦，這真棒。」

龍坡反思，

「在泰國，即使被禁止，

人們還是會左顧右盼，

如果看不到人，就會接電話。」

當心中有自我感時—

他們所稱的有夫妻之心—

是無法被約束的。

我們必須以戒律作為我們的錨，

來放下自我。

對於任何不善之事，我們都不應思考、言語或行動。

每個人必須有正義作為心靈的安身之處。

人們必須有某種依靠。

我們必須有戒律、法、

以及法的憲法作為我們的依據。

《Intelligent people can still suffer》

If we let delusion guide our lives,

Then only suffering will arise, remain, and pass away.

Nothing but suffering.

Because it’s not right.

Even those with great intelligence can become troubled—like America, like Trump,

Right? Chaotic and disorderly.

We shouldn’t think that just because we are clever or capable, that it’s enough.

We must understand this:

A truly wise person must embrace sufficiency.

Those who lack intelligence—

Even if they have little education, that’s okay,

As long as they know and understand.

We can see it—

If we don’t know and understand, we won’t live with Dhamma guiding us.

Do you agree?

If the self becomes the center of our lives,

It all collapses—like the O.A.G. building.

Do you agree?

Wrongness leads to ruin, just like the O.A.G. building.

Putting the ego at the center—

That’s not truly being human.

At best, we’re just ‘normal sentient beings,’

Wandering in delusion.

Do you see?

Collapse—just like the O.A.G. building.

It’s not that buildings in Bangkok and the surrounding provinces aren’t corrupted—

They are, but to a lesser extent.

The O.A.G.—it’s too much.

Do you agree?

People must come to know and understand. ...

《聰明人依然在痛苦》

若讓愚痴主導人生，
唯有苦生、苦住、苦滅。
除苦無他。
因其這不正確。

縱使才智過人仍陷煩惱——如美國，如川普，
對吧？混亂失序。

莫以為聰明能幹便足矣。
須明此理：
真智者必懂得知足。
智力淺薄者——
即便學歷不高也無妨，
但知道和明白即可。

顯而易見——
若無知無解，便無法以法為導。
同意否？

若以自我為生命中心，
終將崩塌——如審計總署大樓。
同意否？
錯誤招致毀滅，恰似審計署大樓。

以我執為核心——
此非真為人。
至多只是「普通有情」，
沉淪痴妄中。

見否？
崩塌——如同審計署大樓。
非謂曼谷及周邊省府建物無弊——
然程度較輕。
 

審計總署——實屬過甚。
同意否？

眾人一定要求知解。......

《'Self' makes people un-embaraased》

Do you see? The self is like that.

Even monks aren’t monks sometimes.

There was a monk who drove me from Incheon International Airport in Korea.

He drove, and it was almost 10 PM, almost 11.

He said, "Stop, stop!"

I asked, "What’s wrong?"

He said he was hungry, and he wanted to eat.

The self was not embarrassed at all.

《People unnecessarily see the doctor due to 'self'》

When you base everything on the self,

you see Luang Phor’s face and think,

"I’m going to leave Luang Phor to see a doctor."

If those who stay at the temple don’t leave to see a doctor,

they leave to see family or friends.

Because that’s what it is.

If we abandon the self,

our mind will be well,

our body will be well.

I’ve been dealing with this for a long time.

I know some people hold on to their self-identity,

saying, "I have a condition."

If I step on the ground, I’ll get sick.

This is what they say.

But I tell them to walk and exercise.

It will make them stronger.

Walking on the ground will help them touch nature.

They tell me they can’t walk on the ground,

because their self-identity won’t let them.

Do you see? The self is like that.

當你一切都以自我為基礎時，
你看到隆波的臉就會想，
「我要離開隆波去看醫生。」
如果那些留在寺廟的人不去看醫生，
他們也會去見家人或朋友。
因為情況就是這樣。

如果我們放棄自我，
我們的心靈會健康，
我們的身體會健康。

我與這些事情打交道已經很久了。
我知道有些人堅持自己的‘自我’，
說：「我有病。」
如果我踩到地面，我就會生病。
這就是他們的說法。

但我告訴他們要走路和運動。

走在地面上會幫助他們接觸自然。
他們告訴我他們不能走在地上，

This person was poor before;

He came to me and I told him,

"Think like this, speak like this, do like this, and you will become rich."

Years later, he became rich.

But when he came back to me, they were still suffering.

<The 'self' is wrong >

Those who study, those who learn, if learn for the sake of the self. This is not correct.

If you work for the self, this is not correct either.

The self is what’s wrong—the self is the cycle of birth and death.

Why did the Arahants abandon the presence of semen in the body?

Because abandoning the self means there is no need for it.

For young people, for women, abandoning the self also means abandoning menstruation.

This is how noble the Dhamma is, and we accept it.

It stops the instincts; it brings peace everywhere, everywhere.

When we abandon the self, we find peace everywhere.

因為放棄自我就不需要它。

對於年輕人，對於女性，放棄自我也意味著放棄月經。

《Teach ourselves more than teaching others》

As Luang Pu Chah Supatto once said to monks, novices, and laypeople alike:

 “I, myself, know the Dhamma, understand the Dhamma, and practice the Dhamma by focusing on myself 100%.''

Teaching others—just 5%. That’s enough to move forward properly.”

So let us not waste time trying only to fix others. That’s merely addressing the symptoms.

We must correct ourselves—because true practice lies within us.

正如阿姜查曾對僧侶、出家人和在家眾說過：

所以讓我們不要浪費時間只試圖改變他人。這僅僅是在處理表面症狀。

《Five Precepts can end samsara》

Everyone, all people, should uphold the Five Precepts with sincere intention—so that they can break free from the endless cycle of rebirth (saṃsāra) themselves.

The Five Precepts can put an end to this cycle. They will halt the cycle of rebirth which is bound up with this false sense of self—the legal entity of the ego.

........

The Five Precepts are not ordinary. They enable us to realize Nibbāna even while we are still alive.

So let’s focus on ourselves—cultivating joy, happiness, and one-pointedness in our practice and conduct.

We don’t uphold the Five Precepts to show off, to gain recognition, fame, or status.

We keep the Five Precepts to stop the cycle of saṃsāra, to abolish the ego—so that only joy, bliss, and concentration remain in our spiritual practice.

每個人都應該以真誠的意圖遵守五戒，以便能夠讓自己脫離無盡的輪迴（saṃsāra）。

五戒可以終止這個輪迴。它們會停止與這種虛假的自我感—自我的法律實體—緊密相連的輪迴。

.....

五戒並非尋常。它們使我們即使在生就能實現涅槃。

所以讓我們專注於自己—在修行和行儀中培養喜悅、快樂和禪定。

我們並不是為了炫耀、獲得認可、名聲或地位而遵守五戒。

我們遵守五戒是為了停止輪迴，去除自我—讓我們的靈性修行中只剩下喜悅、快樂和禪定。

Anyone who clings to the self—

That person is said to be 'allergic to life'—chronic allergy.

If we want to heal this chronic allergy,

we must let go of the self.

如果我們想要治癒這種慢性過敏，
我們必須放下自我。

那麼正確的事情將會回歸。
正念將會回歸。
正知將會回歸。
二氧化碳將會被排出。
毒素將會被釋放。

我們必須知道和理解。
如果我們不理解，我們將繼續與這種過敏共存。

To let go of self is to let go of stress.

Even with a PhD, if one clings to the self, it’s useless.

Because that self—it can’t sleep at night.

Luang Phor say, such a person still can’t even match a dog.

Why can’t they match a dog?

Because when a dog eats its fill, it can sleep soundly.

But these people with advanced Pali studies or doctorates—they still can’t sleep.

放下自我就是放下壓力。

即使擁有博士學位，如果仍然執著於自我，那也是毫無用處。
因為那個自我——它晚上無法入眠。
隆波說，這樣的人甚至比不上狗。

為什麼他們比不上狗？
因為當狗吃飽了，它可以安然入睡。
但這些有著高深巴利學歷或博士學位的人——他們仍然無法入睡。

《Lovable people》

...People are truly lovable when they let go of their self.

The Buddha let go of his self—so lovable.

Jesus let go of his self.

Prophet Muhammad let go of the self.

His Majesty King Bhumibol—he was someone who let go of self.

Whoever lets go of the self—that person is the most lovable in the world.

普密蓬國王陛下——他是一位放下自我的人。

無論是誰放下自我，那個人就是世界上最可愛的。

《好人勝過黃金》

《heavenly Dhamma》

Our world is protected by Dhamma. That’s why society can still experience peace. The Dhamma that safeguards the world is called Hiri-Ottappa.

Hiri means shame or conscience—an internal reluctance to commit evil.

Ottappa means moral fear—fear of the consequences of wrongdoing.

Together, these qualities form a foundation of virtue known as “heavenly Dhamma” (deva-dhamma), which leads to the celestial realms. Anyone who is to be reborn as a deva (celestial being) must possess Hiri-Ottappa.

---Luang Por Ganha 

《天神之法》

我們的世界受到法的保護。這就是社會仍然能夠體驗和平的原因。保護世界的法稱為慚愧（Hiri-Ottappa）。

慚（Hiri）意指羞恥或良心——內心對於作惡的不願意。

愧（Ottappa）則是道德上的恐懼——對於不當行為後果的恐懼。

這兩種特質共同形成了被稱為「天神之法」（deva-dhamma）的美德基礎，能引領人們進入天界。任何要投身為天神的人必須擁有慚愧。

---隆波甘哈

《Dhamma to rule 》

Everyone born into this world must live by Dhamma. Everyone must abandon the self. Everyone must let Dhamma lead their lives. We must pay taxes. We must make sacrifices.

The Buddha was one who gave everything. 

Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad, and all religious founders were those who sacrificed. 

As human beings, we must follow this example and live a life of selflessness. 

If we don’t, we end up as ego-driven legal entities—"self persons."

Governing a country must be built on individual acts of self-sacrifice.

All human consumption—of the four requisites: food, clothing, shelter, and medicine—must be taxed. Residence, occupation, transactions—everything is subject to tax. Those entering the country must contribute. Everyone must give.

If we live from a place of self, we won't be willing to give.

《以法管治》

每個出生在這個世界的人都必須遵循法。每個人都必須放棄自我。每個人都必須讓法引導他們的生活。我們必須納稅。我們必須犧牲。

佛陀是一位付出一切的人。

耶穌、穆罕默德先知以及所有宗教創始人都是那些願意犧牲的人。

作為人類，我們必須效法這個榜樣，過一種無私的生活。
 

如果不這樣，我們最終會變成以自我為中心的法律實體——「自我人士」。

治理一個國家必須建立在個體的自我犧牲行為之上。

所有人類的消費——四種必需品：食物、衣物、住所和醫療——都必須被徵稅。居住、職業、交易——所有一切都應徵稅。進入國境的人必須貢獻。每個人都必須付出。

如果我們從自我的立場出發，我們就不會願意付出。

---隆波甘哈
2025年3月26日

<Debt>

Yesterday is not Dhamma. It is not the present Dhamma. It is a legal entity, a mental construct. Clinging to it means attachment. Attachment is debt. The self—this personified self—is a form of debt.

To be in debt is to be stuck. And being stuck means you can’t move forward.

We must know how to let go. We must be willing to sacrifice and release. Only then does life become Dhamma—become present-moment Dhamma.

---Luang Por Ganha

《債務》

昨天不是法。它不是當下的法。它是一種法律實體，一種心理構建。執著於它意味著依附。依附就是債務。自我——這個具象化的自我——是一種債務的形式。

負債意味著卡住。而卡住意味著無法向前進。

我們必須知道如何放下。我們必須願意犧牲和釋放。只有這樣，生活才能成為法——成為當下的法。

《Superstition》

So don’t be foolish like a turtle, a crab, or a fish—don’t go back to superstition, which is the very starting point of the person who does not yet know. That path follows the instinctive drives of the world—drives rooted in an era without true understanding.

Phra Buddhadāsa compared superstition and Buddhism in this age where many people turn to external rituals and powers, often referred to as “mū-telū” or “mystic followers.” He once said:

“Superstition is still necessary for those with weak minds.”

As long as this world is filled with people lacking strength of mind, superstition must remain.

He explained that weakness of mind means lacking courage, lacking the strength to face what is frightening or unknown. And this fear becomes the breeding ground for superstition—it becomes its stronghold.

So then, what comes next? Every person desires power—power to dominate others. Everyone wants to be superior to others. This is a deeply ingrained instinct.

Whether it’s pigs, dogs, chickens, or any other animal, each one wants to feel more powerful than the others. They want to rise above the rest, to assert dominance. I’ve raised chickens, dogs, and cats in large numbers. I’ve seen it clearly: each animal wants to overpower the others. It’s instinctual.

Humans are the same. We want to be above others. And when someone tells us, “Just recite this spell—you’ll be victorious over everyone,” people believe it. Just a few words of a magic chant, and they believe it will make them more powerful than others. “You’ll defeat everyone. You’ll be invincible!”

And so, superstition spreads—endless promises of supernatural power over others. People go to great lengths—practice meditation, perform rituals, undertake austerities—all just to gain mystical strength, to dominate. This is what superstition is all about.

Nowadays, Buddhism is at a disadvantage compared to superstition. Why? Because it doesn’t align with people’s primitive instincts. It doesn’t fit with the original ignorance that still lingers in people’s minds. So they reject the Buddha’s teachings, because they clash with their inner foolishness.

Superstition, on the other hand, matches that old ignorance, so it thrives and gains influence. If people don’t transform their ignorance, they’ll continue worshipping superstition.

And I ask: if an entire nation devotes itself to superstition, will it ever lead to true progress? Will the country prosper?

That’s a question I hesitate to answer aloud. I’d rather let each person reflect on it themselves.

It’s sad that the education system in today’s world promotes superstition even more. Instead of teaching people to open their eyes and awaken, it teaches them to chase what they crave, to fear excessively. Especially now, in this current world situation, people are more fearful and more desirous than ever. They don’t even care about what’s right or wrong anymore—just whatever pleases them, whatever eases their fear

That’s why superstitious ceremonies are now flourishing throughout society—in homes, cities, and communities. It’s because people are afraid and full of longing. They come asking me to sprinkle holy water or blow blessings on their heads. But I always tell them, “I don’t know how to do that!” And still, they don’t believe me. Some people come three times in a single month asking for the same thing. That’s how deeply rooted superstition has become.

《迷信》

所以不要像烏龜、螃蟹或魚一樣愚蠢——不要回到迷信上，這是那些尚未認識真理的人起步的地方。這條道路遵循著世人的本能驅動——根植於缺乏真正理解的時代。

佛使尊者曾將迷信與佛教進行比較，指出在這個許多人轉向外在儀式和力量的時代，這些人常被稱為「mū-telū」或「神秘追隨者」。他曾說：
「對於心智脆弱的人來說，迷信仍然是必要的。」

只要這個世界充滿缺乏心智力量的人，迷信就必須存在。

他解釋說，心智的脆弱意味著缺乏勇氣，缺乏面對可怕或未知事物的力量。而這種恐懼成為了迷信的溫床——成為其根據地。

那麼，接下來會怎樣呢？每個人都渴望權力——支配他人的權力。每個人都想優於他人。這是一種根深蒂固的本能。

無論是豬、狗、雞，還是其他任何動物，每一種都想感覺比其他動物更強大。他們想要超越其他，確立優越地位。我曾經大量飼養過雞、狗和貓。我看得很清楚：每種動物都想壓過其他。這是本能。

人類也是如此。我們想要超越他人。當有人告訴我們：「只需背誦這個咒語——你將戰勝所有人」，人們就會相信。幾句魔法咒語，他們相信能使自己比他人更強大。「你會戰勝所有人。你將無敵！」

於是，迷信蔓延——無盡的超自然力量的承諾。人們不遺餘力——打坐、執行儀式、進行苦行——都只是為了獲得神秘的力量，去主導。這就是迷信的本質。

如今，佛教相比迷信處於劣勢。為什麼？因為它與人們的原始本能不相符。它不符合人們心中仍然存在的無知。因此，他們拒絕佛陀的教導，因為這與他們內心的愚蠢相抵觸。

而迷信則與這種古老的無知相匹配，因此它蓬勃發展並獲得影響力。如果人們不改變自己的無知，他們將繼續崇拜迷信。

我想問：如果整個國家都投身於迷信，這能導致真正的進步嗎？這個國家會繁榮嗎？

這是一個我不敢大聲回答的問題。我寧願讓每個人自己反思。

可悲的是，當今的教育系統更是促進了迷信的蔓延。它不教人們睜開眼睛和覺醒，而是教導他們追逐慾望，過度恐懼。尤其是在當前的世界形勢下，人們比以往任何時候都更加恐懼和渴望。他們甚至不再關心什麼是對的或錯的——只在乎什麼能讓他們愉快，什麼能減少他們的恐懼。

這就是為什麼迷信的儀式在社會各個角落蓬勃發展——在家庭、城市和社區。因為人們恐懼而充滿渴望。他們來找我請求灑聖水或祝福。但我總是告訴他們：「我不知道怎麼做！」然而，他們仍然不相信我。有些人一個月來三次請求同樣的事情。這就是迷信根深蒂固的程度。

《Concert》

Nowadays, people call it a “concert”—a gathering of mass entertainment. But truly, it is a celebration of delusion. We must understand this clearly, with wisdom.

When people go to concerts, they go to watch others perform and dance. But those with wisdom—those who are truly awakened—must realize that we human beings must know and understand. Don’t fall into delight in flavor, in sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, or mind-objects. These are things that never end—they do not cease on their own.

Because all of it—sensation and stimulation—does not come to a natural stop. The cycle keeps moving. The performers on stage keep dancing, and the crowd below can’t help but join. They too dance and sway in excitement. A concert becomes a ritual of delusion.

---Luang Por Ganha

《音樂會》

如今，人們稱之為「音樂會」——一場大眾娛樂的聚會。但實際上，這是一場愚癡的慶祝。我們必須清楚地理解這一點，並用智慧來看待。

當人們去參加音樂會時，他們是去觀看他人的表演和舞蹈。但那些有智慧的人——真正覺醒的人——必須意識到，我們人類需要知道和理解。不要沉迷於味道、視覺、聲音、氣味、觸覺或心的目標。這些都是永無止境的事物——它們不會自動停止。

因為所有的感官刺激並不會自然停止。這個循環不斷運行。舞台上的表演者不斷地跳舞，而台下的人群也忍不住跟著一起舞動。他們也在興奮中舞動，音樂會變成了一種愚癡的儀式。

《Public and private self》

Each of us must practice individually, within ourselves. There must be no “public self” or “hidden self,” because that is the remnant of selfhood. If your practice is different in front of others than in private, it means you still cling to self. True practice must transcend both public image and private secrecy. It has nothing to do with whether others know or not. It is to end the self, to end personal identity, and to end worldly concerns.

Only then will our practice become pure—free of self, free of ego.

---Luang Por Ganha

27/3/2025

《表裡不一》

我們每個人都必須獨自修行。

不能有「公共自我」或「隱藏自我」，因為那是‘自我’的殘餘。

如果你的修行在他人面前與私下不同，那意味著你仍然執著於自我。

真正的修行必須超越公共形象和私密秘密。

這與他人是否知道無關。它是為了結束自我，結束個人身份，結束世俗的煩惱。

只有這樣，我們的修行才能變得純淨——擺脫自我，擺脫自我中心。

---Luang Por Ganha

2025年3月27日

《 抑鬱》

當我們放下自我時，我們也放下了「他人」和「我們」。那麼，剩下的只有喜悅、幸福和集中。一切回歸於法，回歸於自然現象，回歸於純淨。我們的生活變得和平而清涼，如涅槃般——通過知識和理解。

修行法的原則正是基於這個核心思想。

當我們學習時，我們可以在學習中找到喜悅——因為學習是為了知識和理解而付出的犧牲行為。一旦我們理解了，就能將這些學習應用於我們的生活和行動中。

在工作中也有幸福，當我們以無我的精神工作時。我們所做的每一件事情中，都能找到做的喜悅。

如果我們缺乏快樂，那麼我們就會陷入痛苦。而痛苦與抑鬱是相同的。如今，如果我們去看精神科醫生或心理學家，他們可能會說我們有抑鬱症。

抑鬱源於被困於自我和身份之中。自我是產生痛苦的根源，維持痛苦，並隨著痛苦而消逝。自我就是抑鬱的定義。

----Luang Por Ganha

《Depression》

When we relinquish the self, we also let go of “others” and “us.” Then what remains is only joy, happiness, and unified concentration. Everything returns to Dhamma, to natural phenomena, to purity. Our lives become peaceful and cool like Nibbāna—through knowledge and understanding.

The principle of practicing Dhamma is based on this very same core idea.

When we study, we can find joy in studying—because learning is an act of sacrifice for knowledge and understanding. And once we understand, we apply that learning to how we live and act.

There is happiness in work, too, when we work with the spirit of selflessness. Whatever we do, we find joy in the doing.

If we lack happiness, then we fall into suffering. And suffering is the same as depression. Nowadays, if we go see a psychiatrist or psychologist, they might say we have depression.

Depression arises from being trapped in ego and identity. The self is what gives rise to suffering, sustains suffering, and fades with suffering. The self is the very definition of depression.

----Luang Por Ganha

30/3/2025

我們執著於自我時——
當天氣炎熱時，我們抱怨太熱。
當天氣寒冷時，我們抱怨太冷。
我們向政府官員抱怨，
向政治家抱怨，
向僧侶和精神領袖抱怨。
我們所做的只是抱怨。
當我們執著於自我時，
痛苦就會產生。
而這一切的抱怨也隨之而來。

When we cling to self —

When the weather is hot, we complain it’s hot.

When it’s cold, we complain it’s cold.

We complain to government officers,

To politicians,

To monks and spiritual leaders.

All we do is complain.

When we cling to self,

Suffering arises.

And so does all this complaining.

----Luang Por Ganha

《Laziness》

When we let the self lead our lives, we become lazy and unmotivated. It is the ego—the self—that generates laziness. Laziness itself is a manifestation of this constructed “person,” a legal fiction of selfhood.

We must recognize that laziness is not just a passing mood—it is tied directly to the idea of self. It arises from identifying with a separate, individual entity.

If we fail to understand this, we allow ego to guide us—and with it, laziness becomes the dominant force in our lives.

Being attached to laziness is just another way of being attached to the idea of self.

The Lord Buddha taught us clearly: we must know and understand the nature of laziness.

To overcome laziness, we must cultivate selflessness—we must be willing to let go. Without self-sacrifice, we cannot uphold moral discipline (sīla), and we cannot engage in right practice.

Without self-sacrifice, we remain trapped in delusion, indulgence, and heedlessness.

The Buddha understood causes and conditions. The Arahants, too, understood causes and conditions.

They did not let self-view or ego lead their lives. They did not allow laziness to guide them. They completely abandoned laziness.

They recognized the symptoms of the so-called “legal entity” of self and, through wisdom, they stopped laziness. To be truly calm, truly at peace, we must end laziness. Only then will we experience the greatest happiness.

In all our work, we must cultivate joy.

In our education and learning, we must also cultivate joy.

In our manners and conduct, we must be attentive to details. Don’t allow laziness to sneak in.

In our professions and livelihoods, we must also abandon the self. If we do not let go of ego, our livelihood will not be pure. It will be a career driven by self-centeredness.

《懶惰》

當我們讓'自我'主導我們的生活時，我們會變得懶惰和缺乏動力。是自我——這個自我，產生了懶惰。懶惰本身是這個構建的「人」的表現，是一種自我的虛構。

我們必須認識到，懶惰不僅僅是一種短暫的心情——它直接與自我觀念相關。它源於對一個獨立的、個體實體的認同。

如果我們無法理解這一點，我們就會讓自我引導我們——而隨之而來，懶惰成為我們生活中的主導力量。

對懶惰的依附只是對自我觀念另一種形式的依附。

佛陀清楚地教導我們：我們必須認識和理解懶惰的本質。

要克服懶惰，我們必須培養無私——我們必須願意放下。沒有自我犧牲，我們無法堅持戒（sīla），也無法進行正確的修行。

沒有自我犧牲，我們將依然陷入妄想、放縱和漫不經心之中。

佛陀理解因緣。阿羅漢們也理解因緣。

他們不讓自我觀或自我主導他們的生活。他們不讓懶惰引導自己。他們徹底捨棄了懶惰。

他們識別出所謂「個人實體」自我的症狀，並通過智慧停止了懶惰。要真正平靜，真正安寧，我們必須結束懶惰。只有這樣，我們才能體驗到最大的快樂。

在我們的工作中，我們必須培養喜悅。

在我們的教育和學習中，我們也必須培養喜悅。在我們的舉止和行為中，我們必須注意細節。不要讓懶惰潛入。

在我們的職業和生計中，我們也必須放棄自我。如果我們不放下自我，我們的生計就不會純淨。它將成為一種以自我為中心驅動的職業。

《Collapse of building reveals corruptions》

It’s like the government audit office building (OAG) in Thailand—when there is ignorance and misunderstanding, when people operate from the foundation of self-centeredness, corruption arises.

The word “corruption” essentially means self-view. The ego—the sense of ‘I’—is the root of corruption. Anyone who leads their life by what is wrong, who follows the self instead of Dhamma, is considered corrupt.

Such a person does not know the Four Noble Truths. They don’t know suffering, its cause, its cessation, or the path that leads to its end.

They take the self as the center of existence—that is what we call a corrupt person.

《大樓坍塌揭示了腐敗》

這就像泰國的政府審計辦公室大樓（OAG）——當存在無知和誤解，當人們以自我為中心來行事時，腐敗就會產生

“腐敗”這個詞本質上意味著自我的見解。自我——‘我’的感覺——是腐敗的根源。任何以錯誤的方式生活、跟隨自我而不是法的人，都被視為腐敗。

這樣的人不懂四聖諦。他們不知道痛苦、痛苦的根源、痛苦的滅除，或通往滅苦之道。

他們把自我視為存在的中心——這就是我們所稱的腐敗之人。

《Not knowing the four Noble Truth leads to restlessness》

The new generation—modern people—must come to understand the path of right practice.

Only then will we gain calm and wisdom. 

With wisdom comes stillness, with stillness comes wisdom.

 Then we will come to truly know the Dhamma and recognize the nature of all phenomena.

Not knowing, not understanding, leads to constant restlessness. It gives rise to the five hindrances (nīvaraṇa). It is like the sea that is never filled with water, like a fire that is never satisfied with fuel. It is perpetually lacking—forever restless, unsteady, and unstable.

It’s just like an earthquake. When the ground shakes violently, buildings and houses collapse. In the same way, our inner world crumbles due to not knowing, due to not understanding—especially not understanding the Four Noble Truths. We don’t see that form is just form, sound is just sound, smell, taste, contact, and mental objects are simply what they are.

We fail to understand. And when we follow that misunderstanding, we become shaken—just like an earthquake. Our lives fall into ruin, collapse inwardly, because of ignorance and confusion.

Not knowing and not understanding—it brings about collapse and destruction.

《不了知四聖諦會導致心的散亂》

新一代——現代人——必須理解正確修行的道路。

只有如此，我們才能獲得平靜與智慧。
有了智慧便有禪定，有了禪定便有智慧。

然後我們將真正了解法，認識一切現象的本質。

不知、不理解會導致持續的散亂。它產生五蓋（nīvaraṇa）。就像永遠無法被水填滿的海洋，像永遠不滿足於燃料的火焰。它永遠缺乏——永遠不安、動搖和不穩定。

這就像地震。當大地劇烈震動時，建築物和房屋會倒塌。同樣地，我們的內心世界因不知道而崩潰，因不理解——尤其是不理解四聖諦。我們看不出色只是色，聲音只是聲音，嗅覺、味覺、接觸和心的對象僅僅是它們本身。

我們無法理解。而當我們隨著這種誤解而行動時，我們會被搖動——就像地震一樣。我們的生活陷入毀壞，內心崩潰，因為無知和困惑。

不知和不理解——會帶來崩潰和毀滅。

---Luang Por Ganha

我們必須知道並理解這一點：想要擁有更多、獲得更多的慾望，只是我們自己心的造作。實際上，一切保持不變。即使當我們希望擁有更少或什麼都沒有——這仍然是相同的。沒有任何真正的改變。 

We must know and understand this: the desire to have more, to gain more, is just a creation of our own mind. In reality, everything remains the same. Even when we wish to have less or nothing at all—it's still just the same. Nothing truly changes.

國王陛下曾說：“人必須知道足夠。”

那些無法行走的人也必須學會足夠。

如果我們不理解這一點，痛苦就會隨之而來。

無論天氣是熱是冷，我們都必須接受。

事物就是如此。

你還想要什麼更多？

你願意容忍多少瘋狂？

你同意嗎？...

His Majesty the King has said, ‘One must know sufficiency.’

Those who cannot walk must also learn sufficiency.

If we don’t understand this, suffering will follow.

Whether the weather is hot or cold, we must accept it.

Things are simply as they are.

What more do you want?

How much more madness will you allow?

Do you agree?...

With an ego, we always try to change others.

But correcting others leads to arguments.

Like an old lady I met this morning—

She insisted on taking her grandchild here and there.

When I listened, I realized it was all just foolishness.

有了自我，我們總是試圖改變他人。

但指責他人只會導致爭吵。

If he has an ego, he suffers just the same.

People suffer because they lack things.

And those who have too much suffer because they don’t know contentment.

Both are suffering all the same.

我正前往照顧一位坐輪椅的僧侶。

Take a wealthy mother, for instance—

She travels abroad, indulging her desires.

Every time she returns, she complains to me.

And every single time, she ends up in the hospital.

If one puts oneself at the center of everything,

one will complain to others until they are deaf from hearing it.

Luang Phor said to such person , ‘Why complain? It’s madness.’

If we let go of the self, suffering ceases.

But if we hold onto it, we burden others—

Complaining so much about one's own child until others are deaf from it.

Luang Phor told the person, ‘Why complain?

If you never took a wife, would you even have a chlid to complain about?

You must understand this. Do you agree?’

以一位富有的母親為例——

她出國旅行，沉溺於自己的慾望。

每次她回來，都會向我抱怨。

而每一次，她最終都會進醫院。

如果一切都以自我為中心，

就會抱怨到別人耳朵都聾了。

隆波對這樣的人說：“為什麼要抱怨？這是瘋狂。”

如果我們放下自我，痛苦就會停止。

但如果我們堅持著，就會給他人帶來負擔——

一直抱怨自己的孩子，讓別人聽得耳朵都聾了。

如果你從未娶妻，難道會有孩子可供你抱怨？

你必須理解這一點。你同意嗎？”

If we hold onto the self, problems arise.

The ego is even more dangerous than a nuclear bomb.

A nuclear bomb can only destroy this world,

but the ego can bring destruction across multiple realms.

Take this as an example:

Some people are obsessed with luxury cars—

That’s still better than being attached to romance.

Being attached to a woman will bring suffering for many lifetimes.

The ego is suffering. We must understand this.

Without understanding, we cannot solve our problems.

如果我們執著於自我，問題就會產生。

自我甚至比核彈更危險。

核彈只能摧毀這個世界，

但自我可以帶來多個生存界的毀滅。

舉個例子：

有些人對豪華車情有獨鐘——

這還比執著於浪漫要好。

對一個女人的執著將帶來多世的痛苦。

自我就是痛苦。我們必須理解這一點。

沒有理解，我們無法解決問題。

If you abandon the self, there will be no problems. If you abandon the self, Christianity will love you, Islam will love you. When you return home, your teachers will wonder why you have returned so differently—your hearts will feel as cool as an air conditioner. Previously, it was as if you had stomach pain, but now, our faces will be filled with happiness.

Practicing Dhamma is like having a cold and then recovering. The nose clears, the head feels light, and we experience happiness. The self does not bring happiness. We must understand this.

如果你放棄自我，就不會有任何問題。如果你放棄自我，基督教會愛你，伊斯蘭教也會愛你。當你回到家時，你的老師會驚訝於你為什麼變得如此不同——你的心會像空調一樣感到涼爽。之前就像是腹痛，但現在，我們的臉上會洋溢著快樂。

修行法就像感冒後康復一樣。鼻子通暢，頭腦輕鬆，我們感受到快樂。自我並不帶來幸福。我們必須理解這一點。

《現時世界各地禪修教導的問題》

在泰國和許多其他國家，主要強調平靜，僅教導止禪。

然而，佛陀所教的內觀（Vipassanā）是高八聖道。佛陀教導思想必須伴隨智慧，工作也必須伴隨智慧。當我們的生活正常時，它就成為觀。

但如今人們只教導平靜。他們需要課程和冥想靜修。然而，當他們結束冥想後，仍然像以前一樣爭論。

真正的內觀意味著不與任何人爭論。觀應該帶來工作和學習中的快樂。如果只是定，那麼人可能甚至不想工作。如果只是定，人可能不想見任何人。那只是定——而不是智慧。

緬甸也是如此。他們只在房間內教導禪修。那是定，而不是觀。如果這真的是觀，就不會有腐敗。你的國家，韓國，腐敗程度低於那些國家。韓國的腐敗程度低於泰國。如果有真正的觀，就不會有腐敗。如果我們執著於自我，腐敗就會產生。但如果我們放棄自我，腐敗就會停止。這就是運作的方式。只有當我們放下自我時，才能真正修行觀。

佛陀教導這一點。佛陀教導的八聖道，而八聖道就是觀。

如今，美國和英國等國家只教導止禪和寧靜。他們教止禪是為了賺錢——許多國家都這樣做。他們為了經濟利益而教禪修。這不是觀；這是vippa-money(金錢)。我們必須理解這一點。

你必須把真正的法帶回韓國。隆波說，韓國是最好的國家。你同意嗎？

佛陀不執著於任何事物——這就是觀。如果僧侶放棄自我，世界上每個人都會最愛他們。我們必須理解這一點。

你們作為韓國人，是世界上最棒的，隆波說。隆波甚至愛韓國人。要快樂。如果韓國人通過以法過生活而找到快樂，他們在工作中會幸福。那麼，他們已經是自己真正的僧侶。如果我們這樣生活，就沒有問題。我們不需要只為了尋求金錢而追求上座部佛教。

這樣生活是好的。隆波相信如此。你同意嗎？

在泰國，我們只教導止禪。但止禪是自我。單靠止禪不是觀。你同意嗎？

如果你這樣生活並回家，你將會快樂。去告訴韓國的人們，隆波甘哈說：「韓國人是世界上最棒的人。」你不需要愚蠢地在泰國或其他國家尋求法。

如果我們一切都基於自我，那麼我們怎能獲得法？我們只能獲得自我。如果我們一切都基於自我，就沒有戒德，沒有真正的定——只有自我。我所說的來自涅槃。我們必須這樣理解宗教。

《Problem of meditation teachings nowadays》

In Thailand and many other countries, they mostly emphasize peace and teach only meditation.

However, Vipassanā, as taught by the Buddha, is the Noble Eightfold Path.

The Buddha taught that thoughts must be accompanied by wisdom, and work must also be accompanied by wisdom. When our lives are normal, they become Vipassanā.

But people today only teach tranquility.

They require courses and meditation retreats. However, when they come out of meditation, they still argue just like before.

True Vipassanā means not arguing with anyone. Vipassanā should bring happiness in work and studying.

If it is merely concentration, then one may not even want to work. If it is just concentration, one may not want to see anyone. That is just concentration—it is not wisdom.

Myanmar is similar.

They teach meditation only inside rooms.

That is concentration, not Vipassanā. If it were truly Vipassanā, there would be no corruption.

Your country, Korea, has less corruption than those countries. Korea has less corruption than Thailand.

If there were true Vipassanā, there would be no corruption. If we cling to self-identity, corruption arises.

But if we abandon self-identity, corruption stops. That’s how it works. Only when we abandon the self can we truly practice Vipassanā.

The Buddha taught this. The Buddha taught the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Eightfold Path is Vipassanā.

Nowadays, countries like the United States and the United Kingdom only teach meditation and tranquility.

They teach meditation to make money—many countries do this. They teach meditation for financial gain.

This is not Vipassanā; this is Vipassa-money.

We must understand this.

You must bring true Dhamma back to Korea. Korea is the best country, Luang Phor say. Do you agree?

The Buddha did not cling to anything—that is Vipassanā. If monks abandon self-identity, everyone will love them the most in the world.

We must understand this.

You, as Koreans, are the best in the world, Luang Phor say. Luang Phor even love Koreans. Be happy.

If Koreans find happiness through leading their lives with Dhamma, they will be happy at work. Then, they are already monks in their own right. If we live this way, there is no problem. We don’t need Theravāda Buddhism just to seek money.

Living this way is good. Luang Phor believe so. Do you agree?

In Thailand, we only teach stillness. But stillness is self-identity. Meditation alone is not Vipassanā. Do you agree?

If you live this way and return home, you will be happy. Go tell the people in Korea that Luang Phor Gunhah says, 'Koreans are the best people in the world.' You don’t need to foolishly seek Dhamma in Thailand or any other country.

If we base everything on self-identity, how can we attain Dhamma? We only attain the self. If we base everything on self-identity, there is no morality, no true concentration—only self-identity. What I am saying comes from Nibbāna. We must understand religion this way.

Clinging to the self leads to superficial fixes.

When people see Luang Phor,

they want to excuse themselves—to go see a doctor instead!

Because they only fix the symptoms, not the cause.

We must understand that clinging to the self

leads us to focus on changing others instead of ourselves.

And when we prioritize the self,

even our oxygen levels become imbalanced!

Do you agree?

That’s why we meditate—

to restore what is right.

To bring back proper oxygen levels.

When we exhale,

we expel waste—carbon dioxide.

執著於自我只會導致表面的解決方案。

當人們看到隆波時，他們卻想離開——去看醫生！

因為他們只是修補症狀，而不是根本原因。

我們必須理解，執著於自我使我們專注於改變他人，而不是改變自己。

當我們優先考慮自我時，甚至連氧氣水平也會失衡！你同意嗎？

這就是為什麼我們要冥想——恢復正確的狀態，帶回正常的氧氣水平。

當我們呼氣時，我們排出廢物——二氧化碳。

---Luang Por Ganha

The other day,

a Korean monk asked me,

‘How do we cultivate mindfulness?’

He came to ask me personally.

If one abandons the self,

only then can they have mindfulness.

But if they cling to the self,

they have no mindfulness—

only mental illness.

People go to school out of insanity.

They work out of insanity.

They even ordain out of insanity—

because they cling to their sense of self.

前幾天，一位韓國僧侶問我：「我們怎樣修習正念？」他親自來問我。

如果一個人放棄自我，只有那時他才能擁有正念。

但如果他執著於自我，他就沒有正念——只有精神疾病。

人們因為瘋狂而上學。

他們因為瘋狂而工作。

他們甚至因為瘋狂而出家——因為他們緊抓著自我。

Do you agree?s must let go of their ego.

The life of a renunciant

is the best life in the world.

One must let virtue guide their life."

Think about it carefully.

Look at Luang Phor Sumedho.

He was a brilliant man from America,

a scientist,

a superstar of intellect and knowledge.

But he realized that life in that way was impossible.

So he traveled to India, Nepal, Sri Lanka,

to Burma, to Thailand.

He ordained and lived with Ajahn Chah for ten full years.

He abandoned his sense of self,

stopped following his own desires,

let go of the ego.

If a person abandons their sense of self

and lets virtue guide their life,

their heart will be peaceful and cool.

A constitution of virtue

makes life peaceful.

出家的生活是世界上最好的生活。人必須讓德行引導他們的生活。

仔細想想。看看隆波蘇美多。他是一位來自美國的傑出人士，一位科學家，一位智慧與知識的超級明星。但他意識到以那種方式生活是不可能的。因此，他前往印度、尼泊爾、斯里蘭卡、緬甸和泰國。他出家並與阿姜查一起生活了整整十年。他放棄了自我，停止追隨自己的欲望，放下了自我意識。

如果一個人放棄自我，讓德行引導自己的生活，他的心會變得平靜而清涼。德行的構成使生活平和。

When people ordain for many years

but still cling to their sense of self,

they become criminals in robes.

Once they disrobe, they return home as criminals.

Do you agree?

Because they ordain just for the robe,

just for the shaved head,

just to attend ceremonies and receive alms,

just to play on their phones,

chatting on LINE.

After many years in robes, they become thieves.

當人們出家多年，但仍然執著於自我時，他們就成了穿袈裟的罪犯。一旦他們還俗，就會以罪犯的身份回到家中。你同意嗎？

因為他們出家只是為了袈裟、為了光頭、為了參加儀式和接受施捨、為了玩手機、在LINE上聊天。經過多年穿著袈裟，他們變成了小偷。

This attachment to self

brings nothing but suffering—

suffering arises, exists, and ceases.

We must understand this.

When we let go of the self,

our children won’t argue with us.

If we cling to the self,

our children will argue.

Understand this.

When we relinquish the self,

like Luang Phor have,

monks won’t argue either.

They only listen.

If they don’t listen,

Luang Phor tell them to wear trousers instead!

對自我的執著只帶來痛苦——痛苦產生、存在，然後消逝。

我們必須理解這一點。

當我們放下自我時，我們的孩子不會和我們爭吵。

如果我們執著於自我，我們的孩子就會爭論。

理解這一點。

當我們放棄自我，就像隆波所做的，僧侶們也不會爭論。

他們只會傾聽。

如果他們不傾聽，隆波會告訴他們改穿褲子！

When we cling to the self,

even brushing our teeth becomes a burden.

Coming near Luang Phor then becomes a problem for Luang Phor too!

Luangta Maha Bua said,

"When people hold onto their self,

the stench spreads across many realms of existence!"

當我們執著於自我時，連刷牙都變成了一種負擔。接近隆波對隆波來說也成了一個問題！

隆達摩哈布瓦說：「當人們緊抓著自我時，臭氣會蔓延到許多存在的領域！」

當我們把自我放在第一位時，即使我們在韓國接受整形手術，也不會讓我們真正變得美麗。

隆波說：「韓國人稱那些成群結隊來做手術的人為『傻瓜』。如果你想要變傻，他們會讓你如此！」

隆波曾經訪問韓國，並觀察到在前來見他的5,000人中，富裕階層和中產階級看起來驚人地相似。因為他們的美麗只是外在的。

When we put ourselves first,

even if we undergo plastic surgery in Korea,

it won’t make us truly beautiful.

Luang Phor say:

"Koreans call those who come in droves for surgery 'fools.'

If you want to be foolish, they will make you so!"

Luang Phor once visited Korea

and observed that among the 5,000 people who came to see him,

the wealthy and middle-class looked strikingly similar.

Because their beauty was only external.

我們的生活必須與佛陀同行。

佛陀代表著智慧和理解，稱之為純淨的智慧。

我們必須用智慧引導生活，而不是用無明。必須用智慧引導生活。

智慧必須是純淨的智慧，而不是為了自我而存在的智慧。

純淨的智慧是為了做好事而不期待回報。

我們工作是為了工作，做所有事情是為了純淨。

只有這樣，我們才能表現出與智慧相結合的善行。每個人都理解；我們在修行中尋找當下的喜悅和幸福。

The Buddha signifies wisdom and understanding, known as pure wisdom.

We must let wisdom guide our lives, not delusion. We must let wisdom lead.

Wisdom must be pure wisdom, not wisdom for the self.

Pure wisdom acts for goodness without expecting anything in return.

We work for the sake of work, doing everything for purity.

Only then can we manifest goodness associated with wisdom

《不要執著別人的事情》

我們要訓練自己的「心」讓它保持平靜，無論發生什麼事情，什麼東西升起，什麼東西消失，都要讓我們的心保持平靜，不要去捲入其中。捲入其中只會造成不必要的痛苦——免費的痛苦。光是我們自己的事情就已經不夠了，還要去承擔別人的痛苦，去擔心孩子、孫子、朋友及他們的事情。讓他們的問題成為他們的問題，我們不應該讓它們困擾到我們的心。人們已經有很多理由去受苦。如果我們去承擔所有的痛苦，最終會變得神經質。我們思慮過多、擔心太多，以至於無法幫助他人，卻忽視了訓練自己的心。反而我們在想著他們的問題，心裡感到可憐，擔心他們的安危，害怕他們不會好，擔心他們會遇到危險，害怕他們會貧窮。各種各樣的思考，思考越多，習慣就越深。

佛陀教導我們不要想太多，不要過度擔心。孩子和孫子怎麼樣與我們無關。我們應該練習放下。這樣，我們就能避免因為不必要的擔憂而造成心裡的煩惱。我們覺得不會去想，但實際上還是會想，因為我們已經習慣了這種思維方式。佛陀告訴我們要停止，不要製造心裡的煩惱。我們應該練習接受和放下，認識到別人的事是他們自己的責任。我們來到這個世界上沒有帶來任何東西，當我們死去時也帶不走任何東西。我們需要這樣思考，訓練自己的心讓它保持平靜，放下對孩子、家庭和社會的思考。光是擔心自己的問題還不夠，我們還要思考社會和政治的事情，陷入自私的思維中。佛陀告訴我們不要去關心政治，因為這沒有意義，這反映了人們的自私。我們想著他們為什麼這樣或那樣，覺得不應該這樣做，然後就陷入了這些思維中。

這是一段來自《善心、平靜心 4》一書的佛法教誨。

---Luang Por Ganha 

《Dont cling to other's issues》

We train our 'hearts' to be calm, no matter what happens, what arises, or what passes away. We should keep our hearts calm and not get tangled up in it. Getting tangled leads to unnecessary suffering—free suffering, even. It’s not enough that we suffer from our own issues; we also take on the suffering of others, worrying about our children, grandchildren, friends, and their matters. Let their issues be theirs; we shouldn't let them trouble our hearts. People already have plenty of reasons to suffer. If we take on all that suffering, we risk becoming neurotic. We overthink and worry so much that we can't help them, and we neglect to train our own hearts. Instead, we think and obsess over their problems, feeling sorry for them, worrying about their well-being, fearing they won’t be okay, worrying they’ll face danger, or fearing they’ll be poor. We think about all kinds of things, and the more we think, the more it becomes our habit.

The Buddha teaches us not to overthink or worry excessively. Whatever happens with our children or grandchildren is not our concern. We should practice letting go. This way, we stop creating mental defilements by avoiding unnecessary worries about others. We think we won’t think about it, but we end up thinking anyway because we’ve become so skilled at it. The Buddha advises us to stop and not create mental defilements. We should practice acceptance and letting go, recognizing that others are their own responsibility. We come into this world without bringing anything, and when we die, we take nothing with us. We need to think this way, training our hearts to be calm and letting go of thoughts about children, family, and society. It’s not enough to worry about our issues; we also think about community and political matters, becoming entangled in selfish thoughts. The Buddha tells us not to concern ourselves with politics as it serves no purpose, as it reflects the selfishness of people. We ponder why they do this or that, thinking it shouldn’t be done, and we get stuck in those thoughts.

----Luang Por Ganha

This is a segment of a Dhamma teaching from the book "Kind Heart, Peaceful Mind 4." 

We do not need to rely on professions such as government officials, politicians, or monks. We must take these roles and serve selflessly, finding joy and happiness in our sacrifices, and fulfilling our duties completely.

Do not think like those who do not understand, believing that accepting any position is a burden and not wanting to take on responsibilities. If you want to sacrifice, do not retreat into the wilderness or live in isolation. We must understand and renew our intentions.

我們不需要依賴政府官員、政治家或僧侶這樣的職業。我們必須在擔任這些角色的同時無私奉獻，並在奉獻中找到快樂與喜悅，完全履行我們的職責。

不要像那些不理解的人那樣思考，認為接受任何職位是一種負擔，不想承擔責任。如果你想要奉獻，就不要退回到荒野或過著孤獨的生活。我們必須理解並重新調整我們的意圖。

---Luang Por Ganha

7-3-2025 

We must think carefully. Wealthy people suffer because they do not know contentment. Poor people are often focused on the self; they do not sacrifice, find no happiness in work or studying, and thus remain poor. The self brings suffering in both cases. Wealthy individuals suffer from a lack of contentment, while poor individuals suffer because they focus on the self.

我們必須仔細思考。富裕的人因為不知足而受到痛苦。窮人往往以自我為中心；他們不願意奉獻，無法在工作或學習中找到快樂，因此仍然貧困。自我在兩者之間都帶來痛苦。富人因缺乏知足而受苦，而窮人則因過度關注自我而受苦。

----Luang Por Ganha

7-3-2025 

如果他們在工作中感到快樂，他們自然會富有。他們的身體健康，心靈也健康。他們會在工作中找到根植於智慧的快樂。

他們不會為了自己而工作。他們施捨是為了奉獻，而不是為了自我。

If they are happy in their work, they will already be prosperous. Their physical health will be good, and their mental health will be good. They will find joy in their work rooted in wisdom.

They will not work for themselves. They give to sacrifice, not for the self.

《我們不應該為了“自我”而做任何事情》

如果我們的心建立在“自我”上，我們就不是名副其實的僧侶。

我們的心充滿了“自我”。

這偏離了目標，破壞了佛法。

我們必須理解這一點。

我們不應該以自我為中心來破壞佛法。

自我充滿了存在的欲望、持續的欲望和消逝的欲望。

自我就像一個餓鬼，只是一種存在。

如果有人認同自我，那就不是佛法。

這只是一種自我；而不是成為公務員或政治家。

這不是成為僧侶；這只是自我的感覺。

我們不應該傷害自己或破壞社群，讓無知引導我們的生活或誤導他人。

這使他們為了自我而行善，為了自我而修行，

為了自我而持戒，

為了自我而培養智慧。

這不是正確的。

這不是純粹的智慧。

這不是真正的純潔；這只是自我感。

這不是戒律的基本美。

這不是真正的純潔之美。

這不是通過定所達成的美。

它無法消除煩惱。

它無法消除四種偏見。

這不是正確的定。

這只是一種自我，而不是純粹的智慧。

它堅持於自我。

《We Shouldn't do anything for the 'self' 》

If we establish our hearts on ‘self', we are not true monks.

Our hearts are filled with 'self'.

This is a deviation from the goal; it destroys the Dhamma.

We must understand this.

We should not destroy the Dhamma by centering on self.

Self is full of desire for existence, desire to persist, and desire to cease.

Self is like a hungry ghost, a mere entity.

If anyone identifies as a self, it is not the Dhamma.

It is just a self; it is not about being a government official or a politician.

It is not about being a monk; it is just a sense of self.

We should not harm ourselves or destroy our community by allowing ignorance to guide our lives or by misleading others.

This leads them to do good for the self, to meditate for the self,

to keep precepts for the self,

to cultivate wisdom for the self.

This is not it.

This is not pure wisdom.

This is not true purity; it is just sense of self.

This is not the foundational beauty of precepts.

This is not the beauty of purity.

This is not the beauty achieved through stillness.

It does not eliminate the hindrances.

It does not eliminate the four biases.

This is not right stillness.

It is just a sense of self, not pure wisdom.

It insists on being a self.

---Luang Por Ganha

《隆波甘哈與眼鏡蛇的故事》

如果你不認識阿姜甘哈，我得告訴你一個關於阿姜甘哈和一條蛇的故事，那是一條眼鏡蛇。wooo~

他在叢林中打坐。僧侶們正坐下來打坐。他聽到叢林動物靠近的聲音，睜開眼睛，看到的動物是一條蛇！一條大蛇！一條眼鏡蛇！

在泰國的那個地方，人們通常稱眼鏡蛇為“一步蛇”。為什麼呢？因為如果眼鏡蛇咬了你，你只能走一步，然後就會死去。wooo~

…所以眼鏡蛇滑了過來，阿姜甘哈舉起手，眼鏡蛇張開了它的蛇冠，ZZZZ~（哈哈哈）就在阿姜甘哈的鼻子前面！ZZZ~

那麼，如果你是阿姜甘哈，你會怎麼做？面對這條非常危險的蛇ZZZ~就在你鼻子前面。

別想著逃跑，因為這些蛇比保特還快。我見過它們！它們滑行得非常快！我不可能贏過它們。阿姜甘哈也不可能，那麼阿姜甘哈做了什麼？

他舉起手，輕輕拍了拍眼鏡蛇的頭，並用泰語說：“謝謝你來探望我。”

這是一個真實的故事。其他僧侶都看到了；他拍了拍眼鏡蛇的頭！你能做到嗎？不！這就是為什麼眼鏡蛇享受被一位高僧拍頭的每一分鐘。作為一條眼鏡蛇，能夠享受到這樣的拍打可不多見，所以它享受著每一分鐘，哦，是的；就那樣（阿姜布拉姆在拍他的頭）。

在拍了5-10分鐘後，眼鏡蛇覺得被高僧拍頭的時間夠了；它收起蛇冠，低下頭，然後朝另一位僧侶爬去。“不不不，回去！”（哈哈哈）

但那是阿姜甘哈，多年前他曾在我位於珀斯的寺院待過一段時間。 

《Luang Por Ganha and the King Cobra 》

If you don’t know Ajahn Ganha, I have to Tell you a story about Ajahn Ganha and a snake, it was a King Cobra. Woo~

He was meditating in the jungle. The monks were sitting down and meditating. He heard the sound of a jungle animal coming close. They opened their eyes and the animal they saw, coming close to them, was a snake! A big snake!  A King Cobra！

And in that part of Thailand , they used to call King Cobras as the one-step-snake. Why?  Because if the King Cobra bites you, you have one step , and you will be dead. Woo~

…So the King Cobra slid up, Ajahn Ganha raised his hand, (the king cobra) opened his hood , ZZZZ~(hahahaha) right in front of Ajahn Ganha nose!  ZZZ~

Now, what would you do if you were Ajahn Ganha?  And you have this big one step snake, dangerous snake ZZZ~ right in front of your nose.

Don’t think of running, because these snakes are faster than Usain Bolt. I’ve seen them! They slither so fast! I could not have won them. Ajahn Ganha could not have won them; so what did Ajahn Ganha do?

He raise his hand, and patted the King Cobra on the head, saying in Thai, ‘Thankyou for coming to visit me’

Now it’s a true story. All the other monks saw that; and he patted the Cobra on the head!  Could you do that? No! that is the reason of why the cobra loved every minute of patting from a senior monk. Not often can you get a patting if you are a king cobra,  so its enjoying every minute, oh yeah; just over there (Ajahn Brahm patting his head)

And after 5-10 minutes, the king cobra has patted enough by the head monk; he closed his hood, put his head down, and he crawl towards one of the other monks. ‘nonono, go back’ But that was Ajahn Ganha, who came to stay some time in my monastery in Perth many years ago

The poor suffer because they lack material comfort.

貧者因缺乏物質舒適而痛苦。
富者因不知足而精神上痛苦。

——Luang por Ganha
法語於2025年2月20日星期四發表

If people put self-identity first,

they lack morality and stillness.

Do you agree?

When self-identity is prioritized,

it leads to corruption.

If a monk prioritizes self, he is a corrupt monk.

If an official prioritizes self, he is a corrupt official.

If a politician prioritizes self, he is a corrupt politician.

Do you agree?

When we put self first,

everyone disagrees.

Even our children argue with us.

Why do people protest in the streets?

Because self-interest takes priority.

That’s why they march.

But if we let go of self, everyone loves us.

Whoever lets go of self—

people want to see them

because they are truly exceptional.

We must love His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej in this way,

because he let go of self.

Do you agree?

This is the right way to understand.

May everyone be happy…"

如果人們把‘自我’的身份放在首位，
他們缺乏戒德和定力。
你同意嗎？
當‘自我’的身份被優先考慮，
就會導致腐敗。

如果一個比丘把自我放在首位，他就是一個腐敗的比丘。
如果一個官員把自我放在首位，他就是一個腐敗的官員。
如果一個政治家把自我放在首位，他就是一個腐敗的政治家。

你同意嗎？
當我們把自我放在首位，
每個人都不同意我們。
甚至我們的孩子也會和我們爭論。

為什麼人們會在街頭抗議？
因為自我利益優先。
這就是他們為什麼要遊行。

但如果我們放下自我，大家就會愛我們。
無論誰放下自我——
人們都想見他們，
因為他們真的是卓越的。

我們必須以這種方式愛戴普密蓬·阿杜德國王，
因為他放下了自我。
你同意嗎？
這是正確的理解方式。
願每個人都快樂……

《為什麼人們會過時？》

人們—如果讓法引導他們的生活，

他們的生活將在當下成為法。

如果我們一切以自我為中心，

即使我們獲得博士學位或完成最高的僧侶教育（巴利學者，第9級），

那仍然只是自我。

這屬於過去。

當下不會出現新的、美好的事物。

它完全不會是跟得上當下的。

自我中心是過時的。

舊的觀念、舊的方式—只是停留在其中……"

《Why do people go Outdated?》

People—if they let Dhamma guide their lives,

their lives will be Dhamma in the present moment.

If we base everything on ego,

even if we earn a Ph.D. or complete the highest monastic education (Pali Scholar, Level 9),

it's still just ego.

It belongs to the past.

New things, good things, that arise in the present moment won’t happen.

It won’t be up-to-date at all.

Being self-centered is outdated.

Old ideas, old ways—just staying stuck in them..."

《Selflessness--> happiness + wisdom+ Lovely》

...Humans are those who are selfless.

If we are not selfless, we will not find happiness.

Happiness comes from being selfless.

We can be selfless by adjusting to time and aligning with Dhamma.

Humans must have the right view and the right understanding.

We must find joy in being selfless.

How can we be selfless?

When it is time to wake up, we must wake up.

Even if we do not want to, we must rise.

And what do we do after waking up?

We wake up to work with happiness and to be selfless.

By being selfless in this way, we become prosperous and fortunate.

When we find happiness in being selfless,

the happiness chemicals will be produced in our body contributing to our sense of happiness.

We work with happiness.

We study with happiness.

Such actions generate substances in our body

that allow humans to experience happiness.

By following this approach,

we become skilled and intelligent.

If we are self-centered and refuse to be selfless,

we will not become capable or wise.

Self-centeredness prevents wisdom.

A person without wisdom is one who is attached to their self.

We must understand this.

This understanding is called the realization of the Four Noble Truths—understanding that humans must act in this way.

When we abandon self-centeredness,

we develop morality, concentration, and wisdom.

If we sacrifice like this,

Xi Jinping will be okay.

Trump in America will be okay.

Luang Phor in Thailand will also be okay.

If we act in this way,

everyone will love us.

If we are self-centered, we will not be lovable.

Even undergoing plastic surgery in Korea will not make us truly lovable.

We must understand this principle,

and once we do, life becomes simple. ...

《無私 → 幸福 + 智慧+得人喜愛》

...人類是那些無私的人。

如果我們不無私，就無法找到快樂。

快樂來自於無私。

我們可以通過調整去順應時間和與法來實現無私。

人類必須擁有正確的觀點和正確的理解。

我們必須在無私中找到喜悅。

我們怎樣才能無私？

當是時候醒來時，我們必須醒來。

即使我們不想，也必須起身。

那麼醒來後我們該做什麼？

我們醒來是為了快樂地工作，並且無私。

以這樣的方式無私，我們變得繁榮和幸運。

當我們在無私中找到幸福時，

幸福的化學物質會在我們的身體中產生，促進我們的幸福感。

我們快樂地工作。

我們快樂地學習。

這些行為在我們的身體中產生物質，

使人類體驗到快樂。

遵循這種方法，

我們變得善巧和有智慧。

如果我們以自我為中心，拒絕無私，

就無法變得有能力或智慧。

自我中心阻礙智慧。

沒有智慧的人是依附於自我的人。

我們必須理解這一點。

這種理解被稱為對四聖諦的覺悟——理解人類必須以這種方式行動。

當我們放棄自我中心時，

我們發展戒德、定力和智慧。

如果我們這樣犧牲，

習近平會好。

美國的特朗普會好。

泰國的Luang Phor也會好。

如果我們這樣行動，

每個人都會愛我們。

如果我們自我中心，就不會受人喜愛。

即使在韓國進行整形手術，也無法讓我們真正受人喜愛。

我們必須理解這一原則，

一旦我們理解，生活便變得簡單。 ...

2025年2月7日的法談

《團隊合作》

佛陀教導我們在當前的修行中必須具備喜（Pīti）、樂（Sukha）和一心（Ekaggatā）。

業是我們的行為。當我們的工人強大時，我們的團隊就會有合作。團隊合作就像貴族八正道。就像Luang Phor種下一棵榕樹。我們取一根綠色的管子，僧侶把它劈開，放入黑色的殼，種下榕樹的根，然後加水。大約一年後，根會觸及地面。然後僧侶去掉綁住它的線，榕樹的根會變得更大，互相幫助尋找食物。

佛陀說我們不能僅僅依賴於專注。我們必須遵循八聖道。這就像維生素、蛋白質、礦物質和其他元素。如果我們仔細思考，消除自我是其中一種方法。以善良的言語和良好的舉止來消除自我是另一種方法。

如果我們消除了自我，就會變得富有和繁榮。我們必須理解這一點。

樹木的養分不僅來自根部，還來自葉子，葉子接受陽光、氧氣和空氣。這是來自四面八方的。八正道也是如此。

當我們在工作中找到喜悅時，我們就會變得富有和繁榮。這被稱為幸福化學物質——在言語、思想、行為、舉止等等。這是非常強大的。

佛陀教導我們不要讓心靈因環境而削弱。他說我們必須在說話，消除自我，做好事中找到喜悅。這是因為人類的心靈一次只能思考、說話和做一件事，其中之一。如果我們有快樂、智慧和平靜，我們就會有正念，這就是平靜。正知（Sampajañña）是智慧。我們會擁有戒、定和慧。我們必須理解這一點。

如果我們不理解，擁有過多的智慧可能會導致神經病。智慧少會導致神經病減少。沒有智慧會導致瘋狂。你同意嗎？

讓我們都擁有喜（Pīti）、樂（Sukha）和一心（Ekaggatā）...

2025年2月8日的法談

《Team Work 》

The Buddha taught that we must have Pīti(Rapture), Sukha (Pleasure), and Ekaggatā (One-pointedness of mind) in our present practice.

Karma is our actions. When our worker is strong, our team will have teamwork. Teamwork is like the Noble Eightfold Path. It's like when Luang Phor have a banyan tree planted. We take a green tube, the monk splits it, puts in black husks, plants the banyan root, and adds water. In about a year, the root will reach the ground. Then the monk removes the wire that binds it, and the banyan root grows larger. It helps each other find food.

The Buddha said that we cannot rely on concentration alone. We must follow the Noble Eightfold Path. It is like vitamins, proteins, minerals, and other elements. If we think carefully, eliminating the self is one way. Speaking kindly and having good manners while eliminating the self is another way.

If we eliminate the self, we become rich and prosperous. We must understand this.

A tree does not get its nourishment only from its roots. It also comes from the leaves, which receive sunlight, oxygen, and air. It comes from all directions. The Noble Eightfold Path is like that.

When we find joy in our work, we become rich and prosperous. This is called the happiness chemicals—in speech, thought, actions, manners, and so on. It is super powerful.

The Buddha taught not to let the mind weaken according to the environment. He said we must find joy in speaking kindly, eliminating the self, and doing good deeds. This is because the human mind can only think, speak, and do one thing at a time. If we have happiness, wisdom, and peace, we will have mindfulness, which is peace. Sampajañña (clear comprehension) is wisdom. We will have morality, concentration, and wisdom. We must understand this.

If we do not understand, having too much wisdom can lead to neurosis. Having little wisdom leads to less neurosis. Having no wisdom leads to madness. Do you agree?

Let us all have Pīti(Rapture), Sukha (Pleasure), and Ekaggatā (One-pointedness of mind)...

《老闆與政府官員》

在世俗真理中，如果有人被任命為老闆，我們必須在工作和無私中找到喜悅。如果有人被任命為政府官員或政治家，這些都是世俗的職位。他們被任命是為了在無私中找到幸福。

如果我們不無私，就無法成為政治家或政府官員。沒有政治家和政府官員，國家就會受苦。一個政府官員工作一個月，無法與老闆一天的工作相提並論。就是這樣。

以自我為基礎就是這樣，因為自我是財務負擔。自我是沒有道德的人。自我是貧窮的地位。我們必須理解，在世俗真理中，勤勞和無私的工作會帶來快樂。

2025年2月8日的法談 

《Boss and Government  Officials》

in conventional truth, if someone is appointed as a boss, we must find joy in working and being selfless. If someone is appointed as a government official or a politician, these are conventional positions. They are appointed to find happiness in being selfless.

If we arw not selfless, we cannot become politicians or government officials. Without politicians and government officials, the country suffers. A government official working for a month cannot match the work of a boss in a single day. This is how it is.

Taking the self as the basis is like that because the self is a financial liability. The self is a person without morality. The self is a position of poverty. We must understand that in conventional truth, one is given happiness in working diligently and selflessly.

《資本家與工人》

佛陀教導智慧即正見（Samma Ditthi）。智慧就像資本家。智慧就是資本家。

理解、擁有正確的觀點，以及正確理解無私的喜悅——這被稱為工人（Kammakara）。

工人是道德（Sila）。工人就是道德。如果我們的工人生病了，就無法工作，對吧？那些在工作中找不到喜悅、在勤奮和無私中找不到幸福的人，被稱為病了的工人。智慧和修行必須並行。

---Luang Por Ganha

《The Capitalist and the workers》

The Buddha taught that wisdom is right view (Samma Ditthi). Wisdom is like a capitalist. Wisdom is the capitalist.

Understanding, having the right view, and correctly comprehending the joy in being selfless—this is called a worker (Kammakara).

A worker is morality (Sila). A worker is morality. If our worker is sick, it cannot work, right? People who do not find joy in their work, who do not find happiness in diligence and selflessness, are called sick workers. Wisdom and practice must go hand in hand.

---Luang Por Ganha

Koreans must lead their lives with Dhamma.

If they don’t,

the daughter will start wanting a husband.

Because the sense of self leads to desire for a husband.

We must understand this.

韓國人必須以法引導生活。

如果不這樣，

女兒會開始想要一個丈夫。

因為自我感會導致想要丈夫的渴望。

我們必須理解這一點。

Look at the animals—they cannot control themselves.

They lack self-control.

Crazy people are the same.

They cannot control themselves.

The ego—it is what makes one crazy.

How can we stop this madness?

We must have mindfulness, which is inner peace.

How do we cultivate peace?

By finding joy in breathing in and out.

By finding joy in our work.

We must have happiness in our work

看看動物——它們無法控制自己。

它們缺乏自制力。

瘋狂的人也是如此。

他們無法控制自己。

自我——正是讓人瘋狂的原因。

我們該如何停止這種瘋狂？

我們必須有正念，這就是內心的平靜。

我們如何培養平靜？

通過在呼吸進出中找到快樂。

通過在工作中找到快樂。

我們必須在工作中感到快樂。...

《阿羅漢全都不‘拿’》

師父與所有阿羅漢交談，

他們都會「同意，同意」。

他們犧牲，不要任何東西。

他們什麼都不取。

他們不收集供養，

什麼都不拿。

他們沒有任何雜物……」

The Master talks with all the Arahants,

and they all say, 'Agree, agree.'

They sacrifice, taking nothing.

They don’t take anything.

They don’t collect offerings,

they don’t take anything.

They have no clutter..."

《做什麼都是為了去除自我》

佛陀是來放下自我的。

佛陀來是為了給予的，

是要犧牲，不要任何東西。

如果要任何東西，怎麼會成為佛陀呢？

我們必須這樣理解。

所有出家人，

都是放下自我，不要任何東西。

我們來修行，

是要放下自我，不要任何東西。

來持戒，就是不拿。

來打坐，就是不拿。

不拿還不夠，還要再給別人。

我們要理解這一點。

《Whatever we do, is to abolish the self》

The Buddha came to abolish the self.

The Buddha came to give,

to sacrifice, taking nothing.

If one takes anything, how could they become a Buddha?

We must understand it this way.

All those who have ordinated,

come to abolish the self, not to take.

We come to practice Dharma,

to abolish the self, not to take.

Coming to keep the precepts means not taking.

Coming to meditate means not taking.

Not taking is still not enough; we must give to others.

We understand this.
