What is this thing? Ya, it’s a pen.
這個東西是什麼？是啊，一支筆。
Next question, if a small dog comes in here, and I go like this, and I show this to the dog, what would they do with it?
下個問題，如果一隻小狗進來這裏，我像這樣做，我把這個展示在狗的面前，他們會對它做什麼？
Ya they would bite it.
是啊，他們會咬上去。
Do they see it as a pen? No, they see it as something to chew.
他們見它是一支筆嗎？他們視它作可以咬的東西。
Next question, who is correct? The human or the dog? Ya, you can say both are correct, the human can write, the dog can chew.
下一個問題，誰是正確的？人還是狗？是啊，你可以說兩者都正確，人可以寫，狗可以咬。
Most important question, if I come here, and I put this thing here, and all the dogs go out of the room, and all the humans go out of the room, at that moment, what is this thing? Pen or chewtoy?
最重要的問題，如果我來這裡，把這個東西放在這裡，所有的狗離開房間，所有的人離開房間，在那個時刻，這個東西是什麼？筆還是磨牙玩具？
Right there, it’s almost like nothing, in Buddhism, we call this emptiness, if you understand emptiness, you can make anything happen.
在那兒，幾乎是什麼都沒有的，在佛教中，我們稱為空性，如果你了解空性，你可以讓任何事發生。
You can make a 250 million dollar company, you can help refugees, you can do it if you understand emptiness.
你能夠建立一家兩億五千萬美元的公司，你能夠幫助難民，如果你了解空性你可以做到的。
What does emptiness mean? If the human comes back to the room, and walk up here and look at this thing, what does it become?
空性的意思是什麼？如果人回到這個房間，走到這裏，看著這個東西，它變成什麼？
It becomes a pen again, OK? Did that pen come from the human, or did that pen come from the pen? From the human.
它又變成了一支筆，好嗎？筆是從人而來，或者筆是從筆而來？從人而來。
If the dog walks in and changes it, and it becomes a chewtoy. So the pen is coming from me.
如果狗走進來就將它改變了，它變成了磨牙玩具。因此筆是從我而來。
If I close my eyes and wish I had a diamond in my hand, would it change? No, it’s not by wishing, there’s something in my mind which forces me to see it as a pen, in Buddhism, we call that karma.
如果我閉上眼睛，許願在我手中有一顆鑽石，它會改變嗎？不會，並不是藉由許願的方式，是在我的心識中有某事物迫使我見它是一支筆，在佛教中，我們稱之為業力。
There’s a seed in my mind, when I look at this thing, the seed opens in my mind, and it forces me to see a pen, who put the seed in my mind?
在我心識中有種子，當我看著這個東西，種子在我的心識中發芽，它迫使我見它是一支筆，是誰把種子放進我的心識中的？
We say only you can put a seed in your mind, how do you put a seed in your mind?
我們說只有你能夠在你的心識中放入種子，如何在你的心識中放進種子呢？
You go to another person, you said, “I have a pen, do you want a pen?” And then you give it to them, when you open your hand, and get them a pen, or money, or refugee aid or whatever, when you release the pen, and you open the hand, who sees your hand open?
你到另外一個人面前，你說：「我有一支筆，你要一支筆嗎？」接著你將筆給他們，當你打開你的手，給他們一支筆、或是金錢、或是難民援助、或是任何事，當你放開這支筆，你打開手，誰見到你的手打開了？
You see your hand open, and the other person sees your hand open.
你見到你的手打開，另一人也見到你的手打開。
When you open your hand, that image goes into your mind, and it creates a seed in your mind, OK?
當你打開你的手，那個圖像進入到你的心識中，它在你的心識中創造了一顆種子，好嗎？
When you give something to someone else, with the intention of helping them, with love, and this creates the record in your mind of that opening your hand creates an image, and that image comes into your mind, it presses on your mind, and it creates a seed.
當你把某事物給了某人，帶著幫助他們、帶著愛的意圖，這在你的心識中創造了一個紀錄，就是打開你的手這個動作創造了一個圖像，這個圖像來到你的心識中，它在你的心識中烙印，創造了一顆種子。
And two days later, you go to the Yoga Sutra discussion group, and the person holds up this thing, that seed opens in your mind, and you see a pen, (and you are not a dog,) OK?
兩天之後，你到了瑜伽經討論會，這個人高舉這個東西，那顆種子在你心識中發芽，你見到一支筆，（你不是一隻狗，）好嗎？
(So we can design our future, our lives, by managing the seeds, by planting more good seeds, and stopping more bad seeds, then you can design the future, very accurately.
因此你能夠設計你的未來、你的生命，藉由管理種子，藉由種下更多好的種子，削弱更多壞的種子，接著你能夠非常精確地設計你的未來。
Whatever you want, you can do it.
無論你想要什麼，你都能得到。)
