REWIND, PLAY, FAST-FORWARD

文章作者：Jeff Foster

Regret is thought’s futile attempt to alter the past. But trying to manipulate the past is like trying to rewind to, and alter, a previous scene in a movie you’ve already been watching for a while. Thought says “that scene should have been different!” or even “ that scene shouldn’t have happened at all!” But of course, the movie was perfect as it was - a perfection which actually included any seemingly “imperfect” scenes. The appeaance of past imperfection is part of the cosmic perfection of this moment.

懊悔是试图要改变过去的无用想法，想要操弄过去就像要回放并且改变一部你已经看了好一会儿的电影。想法说：”那个场景应该要不一样才对！“ 甚至说：”那个画面根本不应该出现！“ 然而那部电影本身已经是完美地完成了的，纵使实际上包括了所有”不完美“的镜头。

The recognition that things are exactly as they are right now is not a call to detachment and life-denial, an excuse to dismiss the appearance of the world as “illusory” with an uncaring attitude. Quite the opposite. We don’t just sit back from life and say “everything is perfect so I’ll do nothing to help or change things anymore.” That is another blockage, another conceptual position, another escape from reality. This perfection is radically open to the world, open to the rest of the movie, open to what happens. We can still learn the lessons from the past, and take them into the future. But our sense of regret is gone. We no longer rewind. We could call this “trust”, but there’s no need to name it at all. 

知道事情就是完全是当下呈现的状态，并不是要变得疏离现状或否认生命，也不是个借口用不在乎的态度轻易地把世界的样子贬为“幻象”。刚好相反。我们不是躺着不动然后说：“一切都是完美的，我就什么都不做也不用改变了。“ 这是另一种阻碍，另一个有毒的的概念，另一个对真相的逃避。这份完美彻底地对世界敞开、对剩余的电影情节敞开、对所发生的一切敞开。我们还是能从过往的功课中学到经验，然后把经验带到未来。但是我们的懊悔感已经消失，不再回放这个电影。我们可以称之为“信任”，但其实不需要任何命名。

We cannot change the past (Rewind), we cannot know the future (Fast-forward), but we can meet life exactly as it is (Play), and play, and play…

我們無法改變過去（回放），我們無法知道未來（快放），但是我們能夠完全地與當下相遇（播放），播放，再播放...
