정자재왕보살, 공관 14) Chan Qi • Vimalakirti Sutra (25) - 20241228

정자재왕보살定自在王菩薩은 자신의 마음의 본성을 관조함으로써 삼매에 듭니다. 삼매에 들었을 때 그는 어떤 것에도 전혀 흔들리지 않습니다. 그는 혼자서도 매우 행복하며, 그 어떤 것이나 누구도 전혀 필요로 하지 않습니다.

 

다음에 누군가가 당신에게 소리를 지르면 어떻게 해야 할까요? 그녀가 당신에게 소리를 지를 때마다, 자신을 공으로 보세요. 그녀는 허공에 소리를 지르고 당신은 공기처럼 텅 비게 됩니다. 누군가의 소리에 반응하면, 당신은 그녀가 "사람"에게 소리 지르고 있다고 확인시켜 주는 셈이 됩니다. 반면, 자신을 공하게 하면 그녀는 단지 빈 공간에 소리를 지르게 됩니다. 그녀는 아무리 소리를 질러도 스스로 에너지를 소진할 뿐이고, 당신은 아무런 영향을 받지 않습니다. 만약 당신이 계속 *"왜 그녀가 나에게 소리를 지르지?"*라고 생각한다면, 여전히 그녀의 분노의 대상이 되며 그녀는 당신의 에너지를 계속해서 빼앗아갑니다. 하지만 자신을 비우고 그녀가 빈 공간에 소리를 지르게 하면, 그녀는 스스로 에너지를 소진하고 결국 지치게 됩니다.

 

Bodhisattva King of Self-Mastery in Samadhi enters his Samadhi by looking at his mind nature. When he enters the Samadhi, he is totally unmoved by anything. He is so happy by himself. He doesn't need anything or anyone whatsoever.

 

The next time someone yells at you, what do you do? Every time she yells at you, you see yourself as empty, She yells through space. You become as empty as the air. If you react to someone yelling at you, you are confirming to her that she's yelling at a person. On the other hand, if you empty yourself, then she's yelling into empty space. She can yell all she wants, and she will drain herself while you remain unaffected. As long as you say, "How come she's yelling at me?" you are still a target for her anger, and she continues to drain you. Whereas if you empty yourself and she yells into emptiness, she drains herself and eventually becomes tired.
