Listen with Ease

自在地聆听

Have you ever sat very silently, not with your attention fixed on anything,

你是否曾静静坐着，精力不集中在任何物品上，

not making an effort to concentrate, but with the mind very quiet, really still（平静）?

也不必努力集中注意，而是让思绪保持安静，非常平静？

Then you hear everything, don't you?

然后你就能听到一切，不是吗？

You hear the far off noises as well as those that are nearer and those that are very close by,

你能听到远处的响声，近处的动静，

the immediate sounds — which means really that you are listening to everything.

周围及时的声音——这真的意味着你正在倾听万物。

Your mind is not confined（限制） to one narrow little channel.

你的思维不再限制在一条狭窄的小通道。

If you can listen in this way, listen with ease, without strain,

如果你能完全放松、没有压力地倾听，

you will find an extraordinary change taking place within you, a change which comes without your volition（意志力）, without your asking;

你会发现你身上正发生着巨大的变化，这种变化无关你的选择，也不是应你的要求而产生；

and in that change there is great beauty and depth of insight.

这种变化中蕴含着强烈的洞察之美与深度。
