色即是空
惟雯說故事
一位婦人跳河尋死,被路過的船夫搭救了。
船夫詢問她自殺原因,婦人說:「因為丈夫猝逝,覺得自己沒有丈夫,活不下去了。」
船夫又問:「結婚了多久?」
婦人說:「三年。」
船夫又問:「沒結婚前,做什麼工作?」
婦人答:「在村裡染布。」
船夫問:「那時生活過得如何?」
婦人說:「還算愜意。」
船夫說:「那時也沒有丈夫,為何活得下去?」
婦人啞然。
船夫最後說:「找回那個沒有結婚前的你吧!那時一個人,不也覺得快樂嗎?」
有一位旅館大亨發現,每天都有一位流浪漢坐在公園的凳子上死盯著他的旅館看,大亨覺得十分好奇。
有一天,他終於忍不住走向那位流浪漢說:「不好意思,老兄,我想請教一下,為什麼你每天都盯著那棟旅館看呢?」
流浪漢說:「因為那棟旅館太美了,雖然我一無所有,睡在長凳上,但我每天這樣看著它,晚上就會夢到自己住在裡面。」
大亨聽了很得意,就說:「老兄,今天我就讓你如願以償,我將讓你免費住進這旅館最好的房間一個月。」
一個星期以後,旅館大亨回來想看看流浪漢住的情形如何,卻發現這個人居然已經搬出旅館,重新回到公園的長凳上。
大亨問流浪漢到底發生了什麼事?
流浪漢說:「之前我睡長凳上,夢見住在旅館裡,那很好;可是一旦睡在旅館裡,我就夢見自己又回到硬梆梆的板凳上,真是可怕極了,所以我就待不下去了!」
大亨聽了哈哈大笑說:「原來人沒有的時候也苦,有的時候也苦啊!」
的確,人生的苦,其實與「有」或「沒有」無關,而是跟執著有關,沒有的時候羨慕,有的時候又恐懼失去,都苦。
套用佛家用語,沒有什麼是絕對必須的—「色即是空」。
這給人相當高深的感覺,或許有人不瞭解其中的意思。其實這句話並不難懂,「色」就是指「一切你認為必須的東西」,包括任何物質層面或精神層面的事物。「即是空」的意思就是說:「其實沒有一樣事物是絕對必須的」。
有一天,你會發現,若你能從特定領域的苦裡面得到解脫,都是因為在那個領域發現到這個事實。關於快樂和自尊,沒有什麼是「絕對必須的」,也就沒有失去的恐懼。
其實,任何的「絕對必須」都只是跟習慣有關。也就是說,一旦習慣改變,原先的「必須」就不再是必須了。
比如習慣開車的人,就覺得有車是必須;習慣上網的人,就覺得網絡是必須…。但對沒車、沒網絡的人而言,這些都不是必須,也就沒有失去的恐懼。
想像一下,蘇格拉底曾經站在買賣百物的市場中開懷大笑:「看哪,天底下有這麼多我不需要的東西,我真幸福啊!」
