本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛首先感谢李“笑长”的解释和生活体验，如何在实际生活中去实践，去理解 “you create your own reality”。另外，我也从朋友那里学到了对创世纪的解释，感谢你们的分享和朋友们的参与。
下面我总结一下我的感想。首先有人可能会怀疑这样的聚会是否会有任何意义。比如这样古老的话题（创世纪第一章），善生两种端严（尊者对善生的评价），是否这样的主题太陈旧了？与我们的生活相距太远？难道对于非信徒来说，可能毫无价值？对于信徒来说，毫无新意？
创世纪，即使对于很多信徒来说，也需要一种能令其make sense 的解释。但问题是，我们是否只陷入其固有的理解框架，而忘记去理解它的另一层含义。小者看其小，大者看其大。一段文字，对于不同的人，会搅动起不同的意象和体验。关于其字面含义，我就不再重复了，关于如何让这段文字make sense，我也不必重复了。我只想增加一点自己的体验。如果说人是上帝的image（创世纪，1.27），如果说神创造天地，那么又是什么创造了我们自己的幸福和悲剧？创世纪解释了天地的来由，一种mouth born的天地，一个来自上帝意志的天地，上帝看万物是好的，是喜悦的，是完美的。但是为什么我们看不到？Heaven and Earth come from God’s word, from God’s intention, from God’s power. But what are our words? What is our intention, what is our power? Where we are in our deepest self? If we have consciousness, do we ever question our self and start the journey of self realization? Or we forgot our GOD given power and totally live in darkness, and we even laugh at those who are pursuing the enlightenment?
Without connection to God, we forgot our soul; without soul, we forgot our intention; without intention, we forgot the purpose of our words; without the consciousness of our words, we forgot the effect of our thoughts and mouth. Above all, we totally forgot our power, peace, truth, bliss and love. Then we live in hell, a hell created by our own ignorance。 但是创世纪告诉我们，真实的世界不是如此，上帝的创造是完美的，这个世界是完美的。如果我们能够记起我们具有上帝的image，那么，我们也可以创造人间的天堂。否则，我们就会创造人间的地狱。这就是精神追求的道路，去想起我们忘记的，去让我们知道，我们有一个选择，我们选择去走向地狱，还是回到天堂。The image God has, we also have it，it is within yourself and waiting for you to connect to it. Genesis is about the universe, it is also about the Genesis of your life, your Heaven and Hell。上帝创造天地，但是在文字里，没有创造水。水利万物，处人之所恶，故几于道。So reflect on this, water, the ocean of life that a lot of people have forgotten; the vast space that God has used to create the world; the far land that a lot of people never heard of。We are here today, an alien crazy world of turbulence and uncertain, lost and unsatisfied, greedy and lonely。So remember your inner image, remember Him, remember who you are. 我召集这样的聚会，不是因为个人兴趣，不是因为个人利益，it is all because of Him, the most powerful essence that I have experienced. I used to live in this strange world, but once I remember where I come from, I see a different world. Genesis is not a simple paragraph with a simple meaning; it contains the seeds that will germinate and fruit someday. Forget the knowing and remember the forgotten.
善生端严有二，一，因：觉醒，决心，正道。二，果：无漏，心成，慧成，命成。所以尊者赞扬说：寂静尽诸漏，the true world within the unspeakable space that can stop the suffering. 比丘庄严好，the wonder beyond the senses is beautiful。 离欲断诸结，the enlightenment out of ego can transcend you from the knotted fate。涅槃不复生，once returning to the far homeland, no more will you live in the darkness。持此最后身，stay in this pure life。摧服伏魔冤敌，it will kill the ghost lurking in the eternal hell. 我第一次阅读佛教经典，不能说我理解佛教教义，但是我有正信非家的感想，也有自知作证的责任。My ego cannot understand the self, but the enlightenment can。It is in God’s grace that I experience life but It is the enlightenment that creates the space in which the life is dwelling.
A space without boundary, a life with truth, in this, I love you all.
