The collective energy of consciousness is very great

集體的意識能量非常強大 - 第154集

集體的意識能量非常強大,可以改變我們物質環境,那就是真正的消災免難。海嘯、地震、颶風能不能讓它不發生?答案是肯定的,能,只要知道這些災難是什麼樣的心念所招感的,把這個心念放下,不要再有,災難就沒有了。

The collective energy of consciousness is very great as it can change our physical environment. This is really the best way to resolve and avert disasters. Can tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes be prevented? The answer is ‘yes’. As long as we know the kind of thoughts that cause the disasters, these disasters would disappear once we let go of those thoughts.

洪水氾濫、海水上升、江河氾濫、海嘯這一類是貪婪所感得的,貪心應對的是水災。瞋恚應對的是火災,地球溫度上升,氣候反常,火山爆發。氣候反常,白天四、五十度,晚上零下四、五十度,中午太熱,晚上凍死人,人在這種氣候怎麼生存。這與什麼有關係?與發脾氣有關係,與瞋恚、傲慢、嫉妒,與這些有關係,這些念頭沒有了,這種災難就不會出現。

Floods, the rising sea level and the flooding of rivers as well as tsunamis are caused by greed, while anger brings about fire, rising earth temperature as well as abnormal climate and volcanic eruptions. The climate is abnormal because the daytime temperature can soar to 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, but the night temperature can plummet to -40 to -50 degrees Celsius. How do people survive in this climate which is scorching hot during the day and freezing cold at night? What does this abnormal climate have to do with? It has to do with people’s tantrum, anger, arrogance and jealousy. Once these thoughts cease to arise, such disasters would not occur.

風災,颶風是愚痴,傲慢是地震,懷疑是山崩地陷。真的,最近這些年來許多地方大面積的山崩地陷,懷疑。懷疑很可怕,現在非常普遍,首先不相信自己,有幾個人對自己有信心?家庭裡面,父子懷疑、夫妻懷疑、兄弟懷疑,到社會上人與人之間都有懷疑,都不敢相信人,社會怎麼會變成這個樣子。

Windstorm and hurricane are caused by ignorance, while earthquake is caused by arrogance, and landslide is caused by doubt. In recent years, there have been large areas of landslides in many places. Being doubtful is indeed very scary, yet it is very common now. Firstly, people do not believe in themselves; how many people have confidence in themselves? Within the family, parents and children, as well as spouses and siblings are doubtful of each other. In society, people are also doubtful of each other as they dare not trust others. How can society become like this?

過去沒有,不要說太久,四十年前比現在好得太多了,雖然有懷疑,不嚴重,沒有聽說山崩地陷,最近這幾年山崩地陷到處都發生。所以我們人只要遠離、放下貪瞋痴慢疑,就能化解地球上許許多多的災難。我們這個小區面積不大,這裡的居民放下貪瞋痴慢疑,這個小區就沒有災難。

Doubt to such an extent never existed in the past. Let’s not talk too far back; just forty years ago was much better than now. Even though doubt did exist, it was not serious because we had never heard of landslides then. By contrast, landslides have been occurring everywhere in recent years. That’s why as long as people stay away from and let go of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt, many disasters on earth can be resolved. The area of our community is not big; if the residents here let go of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt, there will be no disaster in this area.
