曾经,为了上「保護者」課程,懵懵懂懂地進行了一場保護者課程必備條件之「靈境追尋」。那需要四天四夜在野外獨處,沒有帳篷、沒有營火;斷食96小時,以天為被,以地為床,拋開所有熟悉的作息,「赤裸裸」地面對自己,融入大自然。對曾經獨自到山地露營的自己而言,或許這不算是太困難的事吧?我應該可以應付吧?
中斷疑惑思考,憶起一句 "ehipassiko" (巴利文,自己試試看的意思),我就這樣步入了一場靈境追尋,可以踏上這一步對自己而言,是多麼的幸運又幸福!帶著滿滿的感動,我發願把它送給這片土地的人們。
與友人齊辦的大馬第二場靈境追尋經已結束,看著众参与者的出現與投入,足讓自己覺得多麼的不可思議!
參與者當中,有者不曾露過營,有者更與自然有著巨大的距離。而大家竟都願意為自己,踏出了這麼的一大步!
或許是聽到了一把內在的聲音;或許是對大自然的單純信任與相信;又或許有股力量把自己推了過來;又或者是找尋失去已久的勇氣;還是為了探尋生命意義?每一個生命就這樣帶著自己的目的前來參與這一場聖會!
我那麼地敬佩這些美麗的靈魂!感受著每一顆充滿愛的心與能量。
是那熱愛生命、那積極看待生命,願意把自己放在懸崖邊界的勇氣,去挑戰自己,去認識自己,去接受「未知」,去突破,去面對害怕,去接納種種。就~愛,把我們聚在了一起!
每每看著一個個身影前去;再迎接著每一個「新」生命的歸來,我多麼的感動。內心有一股溫暖之流,沐浴著自己也灌溉著這一片大地。
感恩种种的因缘让灵境追寻得以进行。感恩一起学习,一起成长的机会!继续前进,大地行者,专注于这脚下的唯一一步。心,感受着爱、感觉平静。
It was our second Vision Quest in Malaysia. Memory flashing back for meeting all the wonderful people who came forward attending the Quest.
So many of them, carry no outdoor experience, even not spending much time in the wood, yet they came for the Quest.
How touched I was, seeing all these beautiful souls, with great courage to step into the unknown, to lean into their sharp place, to face, to learn and to know thy self. I was, in deed with quite a disbelief (logical mind thinking), to see people accepting something they never heard of, a practice which is so new here in this country. Yet, when you are called, you will definitely be presence and be ready for this journey. Even you are required to fast from everything familiar for 96 hours, no food but just water, no shelter, no man made fire, simply just the self with nature. That's something no words could explain. It's simply just be truthful to self. Follow the heart.
Every Quest, keep anchoring a true unity, the Love we all share with each other, a brother and sisterhood with every living being.
I am so much tagged into the sense of love, by witnessing how we human being moving to heal and to letting go, to embrace the imperfect self, to discover and to get to know who we really are, to step beyond self, for a purpose to serve others, to search for life mission and vision. It is love, yes, a great love to bring us moving forward. Love that heal the wound, love that offer great courage, love that embrace the ugly self, love that energize the effort to serve.
A deep appreciation, gratitude to All the connection, souls and unaware sources that finally make it possible for Vision Quest to take place, and for us to share and to learn together.
March, the march goes on. Be the Earth Walker, be conscious of this and the only step at the moment.
With much love.
