Sam Harris: 我最近经历了洛杉矶山火,不得不撤离家园,这让我对正念冥想的重要性有了更深的体会。在过去的两周里,正念冥想帮助我有效地应对焦虑和压力,让我能够更好地观察和处理自己的情绪和思想。 我认为,如同身体需要锻炼一样,我们的思维也需要训练。持续的智力、情感和道德上的成长是可能的,也是必要的。正念冥想是通往更美好生活的重要途径,它可以帮助我们提升自我认知,摆脱负面情绪的控制,并更好地管理自己的注意力。 现代社会中,人们的注意力极度分散,沉迷于智能手机,这是一种值得关注的现象。而正念冥想可以帮助我们克服这种注意力涣散的问题,让我们能够更专注地投入到生活和工作中。 我们常常被自己的思想所束缚,而“自我”的概念其实是一种错觉,它会带来大量的痛苦。正念冥想可以帮助我们认识到思想的本质,从思想的束缚中解脱出来,并最终认识到“自我”的虚幻性。 通过冥想练习,我们可以逐渐意识到,意识并非一个独立的实体,而只是体验的载体。我们通常认为的“自我”只是意识中的一种现象,它并非真实存在。 总而言之,正念冥想是一种强大的工具,它可以帮助我们应对焦虑,提升自我认知,并最终过上更幸福、更充实的生活。我希望大家在新的一年里都能找到快乐,并尝试学习正念冥想,从中受益。
