2011年9月17日文相濡 自玄奇說 破缺為喜的兌卦

在八卦之中,兌卦的意義很特別,它同時擁有兩個相反意義的解釋:喜悅和破缺。思考這一個卦時,我上了人生一課,值得和大家分享一下。

人有所得時,喜悅之情自會形於色。「有所得」是因為人「有所欲」之故。但當「有所失」時,缺破的心靈教人唏噓。「得失」,用佛家說法,都是紅塵中煩惱,也可以說成「劫」。不錯,「得」,可以視為「劫」。

我現在還記得中學時期在報章副刊,讀到唐人呂溫給著名詩僧靈澈的一首詩《戲贈靈澈上人》:「僧家偶有芳春興,自是禪心無滯境,君看池水湛然時,何曾不受花枝影。」特別是最後兩句,我那時感覺有點開竅似的,真的入世容易出世難,帶着禪心的出家人都是人,對外界的人事、景物不會毫無情欲或喜惡,雖然口說四大皆空,當看到美麗的花影也會心悅神往。

妄求妄想 煩惱自尋

人,豈易擺脫紅塵俗世;紅塵,豈敢言輕啊。既然在世,自有紅塵惱,紅塵的輕重,也只有自己知道。不怕讀者見笑,多年前我也寫了以下一首《紅塵夢》的詩提醒自己:

我總是重複發一個/有藍有白有綠有紅的/在夢中/在藍天上/我穿着隋唐時期的白紗/踩着浮棉追雨騎虹/地上忽然傳來陣陣的迴響/從一個披着綠衣的深谷發出/「紅塵,好重啊……啊!」/「紅塵,好重啊……啊!」

撥開天眼俯望人間/一個人在谷底/垂頭匍匐行着喊着/大聲細聲再竭力大聲/「紅塵,好重啊……啊!」/深谷卻頑皮地模仿他的喊聲

什麼人在喊呢/細心看看,他也穿着白紗/他抬頭望天了/哎,怎會呀/天上的我/赫然失足驚喊/「紅塵,好重啊……啊!」

紅塵一詞,本指飛揚的塵埃。二字初見於漢金班固《西都賦》:「闐城溢郭,旁流百廛;紅塵四合,煙雲相連。」後來,道家以「塵」指世人俗緣之未脫;而佛家的《楞嚴經》更點出:「儒為世,佛為劫,道為塵,三十年為一世,五百年為一劫,千年為一塵。」所以,佛、道二家均視人世間為「紅塵」。現代的紅塵二字已是泛指一切人所留戀的物欲、情欲,是一切煩惱的根源,而紅塵的紅字也可以暗喻浮華世間中那炫目的物欲強弱。

慾壑無窮 一生難填

「看破紅塵」四字只重「破」一字。其實看破之後,才可以領略「空」的意義,再能空的話,一切逝者如是,一切來者亦如斯,「本來無一物,何處惹塵埃」。不過,紅塵中人是不知自己被染「紅」了,不易醒覺,自己愈是追求「紅」的話,己身的「紅塵」就愈來愈厚,終有一日,會被紅塵淹埋,甚至連同一個人應有的道德、情操和仁心都做埋沒了,到那時候,人不是人了,是獸,他只會不惜一切去害人利己。因為當己「欲」萌上「心」頭時便成了一個「慾」字。拆開慾字,那不是「心谷」有所「欠」嗎?試問世間那有人可以填滿一個根本填不滿的無底心谷呢?《尚書.大禹謨》提醒世人:「滿招損,謙受益,時乃天道。」做人不謙的話,待「滿」時,即最風光的時候,「損」,即衆叛親離,便開始了,也是《易經.乾卦》六爻所說的「亢龍有悔」。其實無論人在世時擁有多少,最後,人所得也只是一掬塵土而已。清末民初大學問家王靜安在其《人間詞話》中說得好:「君看今日樹頭花,不是去年枝上朵。」提醒癡人們一切美的、醜的、好的、壞的都會過去,就如花開花謝,平常如斯,來如是,去如是,何須在彈指間的人世苦苦地去填那填不滿的心谷呢?

經歷破缺 自有喜悅

在報章上看見很多失意失落的人自殺,心裏總為他們嘆息不已,為什麼他們總把現時所失的無限放大,今日所失的,絕不會是自己將來的一切!就算今日屬於自己的嬌花謝了失了,何必傷春悲秋,輕言尋死,因為明年花枝頭上又會出現另一簇嬌美的花朵了,朝陽依舊媚人,夕霞仍然戀客。世事人事多變,「十年河東」自有「十年河西」,今日看得重要的東西,明日大家也許嗤之以鼻,真是「此一時,彼一時」。若然今日有失,明日一定有得,而失意落寞過的人一定會更珍惜更享受他日的「得」,因為他有「失」過的經驗。很多人希望有快樂的一生,我又不以為然,因我覺得那些人是不會有真正快樂的感受,原因很簡單,沒有哀傷的經驗,又怎知道什麼是快樂。還有,太深的欲望,就如人時常披着厚厚的紅塵,人怎會快樂?

所以,紅塵,這一個媚惑的名字,佛家以其為禁,道家以其為戒,俗如我者只能望破,未敢言空。可幸的,我知道了「一切如斯而已」,一切是天理循環,有得有失,不過矣矣。研習《易經》,它帶給我一個好的開始,以後還要去學會「捨」,慢慢去領略「空」,「空」了便得了,否則,紅塵夢難醒,「紅塵,會好重啊……啊!」思考《易經》,細嚼形而上的哲理比形而下的應用更觸動一味追求完滿的空虛心靈,不知大家可有同感?《易經》的兌卦,就是告訴大家:「人生有破缺,喜悅自相隨,人生無破缺,喜悅從何說。」

Wilshere and Szczesny give Arsenal far more authority and guts

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1

Villa 26, Van Persie 78, Arshavin 83

____________________________

The key player in the Nou Camp will be Szczesny.

So pray that nothing happens to Arsenal’s goalkeeper between now and Tuesday, March 8th.

Barcelona’s style is cleverly-timed runs onto sharp little passes, which c reates a lot of one-on-one chances with the keeper.

Wojciech Szczesny’s fine positional judgement makes him a master of making opponents shoot into the side-netting or just past the post.

On the goal, he was a bit unlucky because David Villa, a razor finisher in these situations, slotted between his legs.

By contrast, he got lucky on the loose ball after his save, when the scrambling Messi headed in but was flagged offside. Messi wasn't offside.

For me, Szczesny was Arsenal’s best player last night for that reason. Making Messi miss was the name of the game.

Yes, Koscielny played his finest game in an Arsenal shirt.

Yes, Jack Wilshere played with remarkable authority at the heart of the team. England need to play Jack football, Fabio - not Capello football.

Yes, of course, CL knock-out ties are a game of four halves.

Arsenal lost the first half 1-0 and won the second half 2-0 and halves three and four will roll round 20 days from now.

Arsenal raised their tempo after half-time and the game turned on 68 when Keita and Arshavin came on.

Keita replaced Villa to stiffen Barca's midfield, which was running out of steam, and allowed young Busquets to go ball-hunting further up the field.

Arshavin’s arrival (for Song) allowed him to link in a cool manner with Clichy, who played a killer ball forward into the box with his right-foot and gave Van Persie a chance to hit a mighty left-foot shot on the half- volley inside the near post of Victor Valdes for 1-1.

Valdes has always had flaky moments. That blunder by allowed Arsenal back into a game that Barcelona were still playing mostly in Arsenal's half.

Still, defending deeper can be good. You can only counter-attack if your opponents are in your half of the field. You can attack too much in a game. If you attack less, you often score more.

Frankly, Fabregas, Eboue and Walcott had been crap.

All three played crap. Only a blinkered, badge-kissing nincompoop would say any of those three played well last night.

Arsenal had nothing on the right flank but now, suddenly, that was where the winning goal came from after a fabulous move.

The cool Koscielny picked up the ball in his penalty area, passed to Bendtner, who passed infield to Wilshere, then quickly forward to Fabregas, who instantly released Nasri with a superb ball down the right flank.

Nasri could have tried the obvious with a low cross to the far post but chose instead to play a lovely pass which allowed Arshavin to curl his sidefoot shot behind Abidal and into the net from 15 yards.

That quality goal gave Arsenal their first victory against Barcelona and it set the seal on the pulsating, rocking, thrilling night that the Emirates has needed since 2006.

Sporting Gijon was a factor last night because game was much harder than the Wolves game was for Arsenal .

After two and half years of staggering success, and intensifying pressure, Barcelona are showing signs of burn-out, so Pep has to husband his resources very carefully.

Coming back off an international break, which is mostly where Barcelona d rop their points, he conceded an early goal at Gijon in a game that was very passionate, intense and physical, since Gijon are fighting for their lives just above the drop-zone.

 I was really enjoying the game but as the second half went on I was thinking : This is taking a lot out of Barcelona !

Indeed, it was a helluva battle that was taking a lot out of both sides.

Just as the commentators began to say that David Villa was about to be taken off, he glided onto a wonder-pass from Messi and chipped the keeper from the edge of the box and it finished 1-1.

Success brings a heavy schedule.

The more games you win, the more the pressure is on you. To handle that you need character and guts. Wilshere and Szczesny have given the team a lot more personality and authority than it had last year.

Big characters, big difference.

As Rufus Thomas said, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.
