苦悩は自然界のものであり、それは理解し、受け入れなければならい。と言うのも、私たちは痛みを恐れる、必然的にそれを避けようとする。それゆえ、多くの人がハートで感じる事を避け、頭の中で生きている。ハートは痛みを感じる、その通りだ、しかし、それゆえに喜びも感じることが出来るー痛みはそのためにある。痛みゆえに喜びがやってくる。苦しみは、エクスタシーがやってくる扉となる。それに気づいた者には、痛みを贈り物として受け入れる者には、突然、その痛みは変容し始める。あなたは痛みに敵対するのではなく、そして、敵対しないゆえに、痛みが消え去る。それは友となる。それはあなたを清める炎となる。それは変容であり、古いものが去り、新しいものが入っていくための過程である。マインドが去り、ハートがその完全性のなかで機能し始めるだろう。そして、生は祝福される。OSHOより
アティシャの手法を試してみよう:
呼吸を入れる時・・・注意して聞くように、これは偉大な手法のひとつだ・・・、呼吸を入れる時、世界中の人々の全ての苦悩を吸い込んでいるようにイメージする。想像できうるあらゆる心の闇;暗黒の全て、懐疑心、拒絶の全て、地獄の全て、を呼吸とともに吸い込む。
あなたは、西洋で言われるポジティブシンキング(肯定的考え)について聞いた事があるだろう。これとは逆の考えであり、彼らは、自分が何を言っているのかに気づいていない。彼らが言っているのは「呼吸をはく時、あなたの苦悩と懐疑心のすべてを吐き出しなさい」、そして「呼吸を入れる時、喜びや確信、幸せを楽しみを入れるのです」と言う。アティシャの手法は、まったくその逆だ。呼吸を入れる時、過去の、現在の、そして未来の、世界中に存在するものの苦悩と災害を取り込む。そして、呼吸をはく時、あなたが持っている喜びの全て、祝福の全て、持ちうる祈りの全てを吐き出す。
呼吸を吐くとともに、あなた自身を存在に溢れ注ぎ込む。これが慈悲の手法だ:苦悩の全てを吸い込み、そして、祝福の全てを注ぎ込む。これを行うとあなたは驚くだろう。世界中の苦悩のすべてをあなたの中に取り込んだ瞬間、その苦悩は苦悩でなくなる。ハートが即座にエネルギーを変容される。ハートは変容の力であり、苦悩を飲み込み、それが祝福に変容され・・・外に流れ出す。あなたのハートがこの魔法、奇跡を体験すると、何度も試みたくなるだろう。
とても実践的な手法のひとつなので、試してみよう。シンプルであり、その効果は即効的だ。今日、やってみよう。これは、仏陀とそのすべての弟子が試みた瞑想のひとつだ。アティシャは仏陀から来る同じ伝統、同じ筋の弟子の一人である。「Ihi passiko--come and see!」彼らはとても科学的な人々だ。仏陀は、この地球上においてもっとも科学的な教えであり、ゆえに、仏教は世界中に広がりつつある。
世界が知的になればなるほど、仏陀はさらに重要となってくるだろう。きっと、そうなるはずだ。人々がさらに科学を知り始めると、仏陀が大きく出現するだろう。彼は、科学的なマインドを確信させ・・・何故なら、彼は「私が言う事は何であれ実行される」と言っているからだ。私は ”信じるのだ” とは言っていない、”その中で試され、体験する事ができるのは、あなたがそれを信じて自分を感じる(体験する)事ができたときのみであり、でなければ信じる必要もない”
この美しい手法をやってみなさい:苦悩のすべてを取り込み、そして、喜びの全てを注ぎ込むのだ。

Pain is natural; it has to be understood, it has to be accepted. Because naturally we are afraid of pain, naturally we avoid it. Hence many people have avoided the heart and are hung up in the head, they live in the head.
The heart gives pain, true, but only because it can give pleasure--that's why it gives pain. Pain is the way that pleasure arrives; agony, the door that ecstasy enters. If one is aware of it, one accepts the pain as a blessing. Then suddenly the quality of the pain immediately starts changing. You are no longer antagonistic to it, and because you are no longer antagonistic to it, it is no longer pain; it is a friend. It is a fire that is going to cleanse you. It is a transmutation, a process, in which the old will go and the new will arrive, in which the mind will disappear and the heart will function in its totality. Then life is a benediction.
Try this method from Atisha:

Try this method from Atisha:
When you breathe in--listen carefully, it is one of the greatest methods--when you breathe in, think that you are breathing in all the miseries of all the people in the world. All the darkness, all the negativity, all the hell that exists anywhere, you are breathing it in. And let it be absorbed in your heart.
You may have read or heard about the so-called positive thinkers of the West. They say just the opposite--they don't know what they are saying. They say, "When you breathe out, throw out all your misery and negativity; and when you breathe in, breathe in joy, positivity, happiness, cheerfulness." Atisha's method is just the opposite: when you breathe in, breathe in all the misery and suffering of all the beings of the world--past, present and future. And when you breathe out, breathe out all the joy that you have, all the blissfulness that you have, all the benediction that you have.
Breathe out, pour yourself into existence. This is the method of compassion: drink in all the suffering and pour out all the blessings. And you will be surprised if you do it. The moment you take all the sufferings of the world inside you, they are no longer sufferings. The heart immediately transforms the energy. The heart is a transforming force: drink in misery, and it is transformed into blissfulness... then pour it out. Once you have learned that your heart can do this magic, this miracle, you would like to do it again and again.
Try it. It is one of the most practical methods--simple, and it brings immediate results. Do it today, and see. That is one of the approaches of Buddha and all his disciples. Atisha is one of his disciples, in the same tradition, in the same line. Buddha says again and again to his disciples, "Ihi passiko--come and see!" They are very scientific people. Buddhism is the most scientific religion on the earth; hence, Buddhism is gaining more and more ground in the world every day.
As the world becomes more intelligent, Buddha will become more and more important. It is bound to be so. As more and more people come to know about science, Buddha will have great appeal. He will convince the scientific mind--because he says, "Whatsoever I am saying can be practiced. I don't say to you, 'Believe it,' I say, 'Experiment with it, experience it, and only then if you feel it yourself, trust it. Otherwise there is no need to believe.'"
