where we have got to pay attention, 那时我们不得不全神贯注,

But most of the time we spend our life, don't we, 但在大部分时间里,我们更多地把生命耗费在
rather drifting along, though we are very occupied, 随波逐流上,不是吗?尽管我们事务缠身,
and the very occupation becomes a form of inattention, 但正是这种事务缠身变成了一种漫不经心,

I was told of an article 有人告诉我有一篇文章,
recently written in one of the weekly magazines, 是最近写在一个周刊杂志上的,
where the Zen Buddhist monks, Zen monks, 写到佛教禅宗的僧人,禅僧
were able so completely be attentive 能够如此完全地集中注意力,
that their reactions were very slow, 以致于他们的反应会非常慢,
because they had trained themselves 因为他们用大量的注意力和兴趣
with a great deal of attention and interest, 来训练自己,
so that any reaction 所以,常人会有的那些反应
which an ordinary human being would have was very slow. 在他们身上会变得非常缓慢。
I don't know if you... 我不知道你们是不是……
Q: Reaction to what, sir? 问:对什么的反应,先生?
K: Ordinary physical reactions, psychological reactions, 克:平常的身体反应,心理反应,
psychosomatic reactions. 精神反应。
Q: You mean it was thought out kind of slowly and... 问:你是说反应是慢慢思考后做出的并且……
K: No, it was just observed without any response. 克:不,它只是被观察到没有任何反应。
You see, I'm trying to... 你看,我在尽量……
Q: I think we would generally think that that was inattentive, 问:我想我们通常会认为那是注意力不集中,
because we usually respond very fast or react fast. 因为我们通常应答得非常快或反应很快。
K: I wonder how we can approach this, if it interests you at all. 克:我想知道我们怎么来理解这个问题,如果你对它感兴趣的话。
Q: What is attention? 问:注意力是什么?
K: Do you think attention 克:你是不是认为注意力
has a very limited meaning? 的涵义非常有限?
Like concentration has a very limited meaning, hasn't it? 就像专注的意思非常局限一样,不是吗?
Do you think...I don't know how far you've gone into it, 你是不是认为……我不知道你对它的探究有多深入,
that's why I daren't... Should we plunge into it and go on? 这就是为什么我不敢……我们是不是该直接深入进去,然后继续?
I don't know if you really want to, if you're interested in this, 我不知道你们是不是真的想深入进去,是不是对这个感兴趣,
because, you see, 因为,你看,
I think, in understanding attention 我认为,在理解注意力的过程中,
we should be able to observe ourselves much more clearly, 我们应该能够把我们自己看得更清楚,
without any resistance, without the censor. 不带任何抗拒,也没有审查者。
Because understanding oneself is of primary importance, obviously 因为了解自己显然是最首要的
- oneself who is a living entity ——人本身是一个鲜活的实体,
and therefore the observation 所以,
must also be very attentive in that living sense, 在鲜活的生命这个意义上,观察也必须是全神贯注的,
in which, as we said, there is no censor or resistance. 正如我们所说,其中没有审查者或抗拒。
So, in understanding myself, or yourself, or a human being 所以,在理解我自己、你自己或一个人的过程中,
one must have this quality of attention. 人必须拥有注意力这项品质。
That is, in watching oneself, 就是说,在观察自己的过程中,
if you have done it at all, 如果你曾经这么做过的话,
there is a process of learning which is not accumulation. 有一个并非积累的学习过程。
The accumulation then becomes the censor and a means of resistance. 积累就会变成审查者和一种抵抗的手段。

Q: The attention would be an openness, an awareness... 问:注意力是一种开放,一种觉知……
K: No. We're going to find out, we're going to explore it together. 克:不。我们来弄清楚,我们要一起探索它。
I want to watch myself, I want to learn about myself 我想观察自己,我想了解我自己
- not according to Freud, Jung, ——不是按照弗洛伊德、荣格,
or some other specialist, or not specialist - 或别的什么专家,或非专家——
I want to learn about myself. 我想了解我自己。
The first thing I have to learn 我首先必须学习的事情
is to unlearn the meaning of that word 'to learn.' 是忘掉“学习”这个词的涵义。
Learning implies, generally, accumulation of knowledge 学习通常意味着知识的积累,
from which to act, to think, to function 根据知识去行动、思考、运作
- technological field, in the science, and so on, engineers, and so on. ——在技术领域,在科学中,等等,工程师,等等。
Now, here we are dealing with a very living thing. 现在,我们面对的是一个非常鲜活的东西。
The self, which is to be understood, 要理解的自我
is a living, moving, vital thing, 是有生命的、活动的、生机勃勃的东西,
moving all the time, changing, and I have to learn about it. 一直在运动、变化,而我必须了解它。
Now, if I learn about it, to learn about it, 那么,如果我去了解它,想要了解它,
the observer must come fresh to it. 观察者就必须以崭新的姿态去接近它。
If he comes burdened, he's already translating what he sees 如果他带着沉重的负担,他就已经在根据他先前的知识
according to his previous knowledge. 来诠释他所看到的一切了。
I don't know if this... 我不清楚这是否……
So he's always translating what he sees in terms of the past. 所以他总是根据过去来解释他所看到的。
The past then becomes the censor 过去就变成了审查者,
and therefore censor says, 于是审查者说:
'I'll resist this and accept this.' “我要反对这个,接受那个。”
Right, sir? 对吗,先生?
So, the problem then is how to observe 那么,问题就变成了怎样观察
without accumulation. 而不积累。
Learning through observation 通过观察来学习,
without the process of accumulation taking place, 而没有发生积累的过程,
so learning is a movement 因而学习本身就是一种运动
- not from a movement, from a root. ——而不是来自某种运动,也不是来自某种固化的根本。
I don't know if I... 我不知道我是不是……
Q: It's not just accumulation, it's also exclusion as well. 问:那种学习不仅是积累,而且也是排除。
Wouldn't it be not only accumulation but exclusion? 难道不是不仅仅积累而且也排除吗?
K: Of course. Resistance means exclusion. 克:当然。抗拒意味着排除。
The moment I resist, I exclude, naturally. 当我抗拒时,我自然就会排除。
So the question is: how to observe, 所以,问题是:怎样观察,
to learn and not to accumulate. 怎样学习而不积累。
It's quite... if you go into it, it becomes quite subtle, 那非常……如果你深入进去,它就会变得非常微妙,
quite extraordinarily interesting. 非常非常有趣。
To know oneself 认识自己,
without the pressure of the past 而没有过去的压力
interfering with what is being learned. 干涉正在了解的东西。
Now, how does this happen? 那么,这怎样才能发生?
Analysis implies the analyser, the censor 分析意味着分析者、审查者
- right? - ——对吗?——
a fragment separating itself from other fragments 一个把自己与其他碎片分离开来的碎片
and assuming authority to analyse. 装作分析的权威。
But that fragment is interrelated with the rest of the fragments 但这个碎片与其他碎片是相关联的,
which go to make up the human entity. 一起组成人这个实体。
So, to observe without analysis - I don't know if you follow all this - 所以,不带分析的观察——我不知道你们是不是完全理解了——
which means not to come to a conclusion ever, 那意味着,永远不要得出结论,
never to say to myself, 'I know myself' 绝不对自己说,“我了解我自己”
- so that is the problem. ——那种说法就是问题。
So, the specialists have said, you know, 所以,专家说过,你知道,
the people like the Zen and other people, 禅宗的人,以及其他一些人,
said cultivate attention, awareness, 说培养注意力、觉察,
cultivate awareness so that there is no interference of the past. 培养觉察力,来实现没有过去的干涉。
They don't put it that way, I'm translating it that way. 他们不是这样表达的,我把它翻译成这样。
I don't know if it interests you all this, does it? 我不知道你们是不是对此感兴趣,有兴趣吗?
(You've got a bad eye, I've got a bad tooth - to make up.) (你有一只眼睛不好,我有一颗牙不好——扯平了。)
So that is really one of the major issues of attention 所以那真正是关于注意力的主要问题之一
- to attend without the observer, the censor, ——关注而不带有观察者、审查者,
the entity that resists, that is capable of focusing, 不带着那个抗拒、能聚焦、
and therefore concentrating, and therefore excluding. 进而专注并有所排除的实体。
I don't know... All right, let's go... 我不知道……好吧,让我们继续……
I see the importance 我看到了那种重要性
- I'm using the word 'I' as just a means of communication, and so on - ——我使用“我”这个词,仅作为一种交流的手段,诸如此类——
there is the importance of learning the whole structure 了解自我的整个结构
and the nature of oneself. 和本质的重要性。
The oneself is the rest of the humanity 一个人自身就是整个人类
- that's obvious so we don't have to beat that to death. ——显然如此,所以我们不必对此穷追到底。

because one is the rest of humanity. 因为你就是整个人类。
It is not oneself first and humanity next, 不是首先是你自己,然后是人类,
it is a total movement of the human being. Right? 这是人类的整体运动。对吗?
To change implies learning about oneself. 转变意味着了解自身。
And to learn there must be freedom, 而要了解就必须有自由,
a curiosity, and an intensity. That's obvious. 有好奇心和强烈的热情。这很明显。
Now, learning implies the non-interference of the censor, 那么,了解意味着没有审查者的干涉,
the censor who is the past, the accumulated knowledge, 审查者就是过去,就是积累的知识,
both the personal, and impersonal, and all the rest of it. 包括个人的、非个人的,诸如此类的一切。
Now, is it possible... 那么,有没有可能……

Right? Can we start with that? 对吗?我们能从这里开始吗?
Now, how do you proceed? Go on, sirs. 那么,你怎样去进行?加油,先生们。

Q: Sir, is it possible to observe without a censor 问:先生,不带有审查者的观察,这可能吗?

And in observing I discover the motive and put it aside, 而在观察中我发现了这个动机,并且把它抛开,
say that's not learning. 说:那不是了解。

I don't know if you're interested in all this. 我不知道你们对这一切是不是感兴趣。
Because I met a man once - not 'I,' doesn't matter - 因为我曾经遇到过一个人——不是“我”遇到,没关系——
we met a man once, 我们曾遇到一个人,
he had given up a very good position 他放弃了一个非常好的位置,
as a some kind of bureaucratic position, high up, 官僚机构中一个高高在上的职位,

because I am passing judgment all day long 因为我整天在判决别人
- this should be done, that should be done, he should go to prison - ——这应该做,那应该做,他应该进监狱——
you know, all the rest of it.' 你知道,诸如此类。”
He said, 'I want to find out the truth of it, what is truth.' 他说:“我想发现真理,什么是真理。”
So he disappeared. 所以,他消失了。
That's easy in India because you can put on a robe of the monk 在印度,那是很容易的事,因为你可以穿上僧袍,
and wander from village to village and they'll feed you, 从村庄到村庄地流浪,而人们会给你饭吃,
and clothe you, and be very respectful to you 给你衣服穿,并且尊敬你
- that's the tradition, the man who leaves the world seeking truth ——那是传统,离世寻求真理的人
is to be maintained by society - 将由社会供养——
and there are crooks who do that too, that's understood. 并且也有骗子那样做,这可想而知。
So for 25 years he was meditating 就这样,他进行了25年的冥想

I have projected my own desires, feelings, 我投射了自己对真理的渴望、感情、

So, to observe without control. 所以,要没有控制地观察。
I don't know if you've ever done all these things - great fun. 我不知道你有没有做过所有这些事情——这非常有趣。

- one fragment opposing another fragment. ——一个碎片反对另外一个碎片。
Q: Am I right in thinking that to observe without control 问:我这么想是不是正确:不带控制的观察
would be to observe without words? 就是不带言语的观察?
