拜登的就職典禮上，有個鎂光燈焦點，她是22歲年輕非裔詩人Amanda Gorman，也是有史以來美國總統就職典禮上朗讀詩歌的最年輕詩人，她下台後，美國媒體一致好評，說她的亮眼表現簡直偷走了整個舞台，她ig也硬生生從不到九萬人追蹤，到現在已經有將近兩百六十萬個追蹤者，機會來了，Amanda Gorman成功抓住，也是新的美國夢的代表。

Amanda Gorman來自自由的洛杉磯，去年從哈佛畢業，還在就學的時候就已經嶄露頭角，2017年成為美國第一位National Youth Poet Laureate得主，一直以來她的作品都聚焦在種族平等、反性騷擾等議題，點開影片看看她的朗誦，站在全美國人、全世界的人面前，她台風穩健、絲毫不怯場，用自己的詩作The Hill We Climb抓住了所有人的目光，但我們沒看出來的是，她從小患有語言障礙，無法發出部分字母的音，能這樣站在台上，不知道在台下花了多少努力。

Amanda Gorman在朗誦中強調：「美國人已經體驗過不願同甘共苦、分裂國家的那種力量，這股勢力為了拖延民主發展，也會導致國家被摧毀，但這項行動沒有成功，雖然民主可能遭到耽誤，但是卻永遠不會被擊敗。」她也說：「一個瘦巴巴的黑人女孩，身為奴隸後代，被單親媽媽扶養長大，但是卻能夢想有一天當上總統，現在正在為總統朗誦詩詞。」

五分多鐘的演講，得到全場鼓掌跟歡呼，希望這些激勵人心的詩句，能彌補美國被選舉撕裂的傷痕，我很喜歡她的詩作的結尾，就分享這段不負責翻譯給大家:

當晨曦來臨時 我們可以走出火焰帶來的陰影
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame

絲毫不畏懼地 讓黎明綻放 只要我們自由釋放
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it

只要我們足夠勇敢 就永遠能見證光芒
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it

只要我們足夠勇敢
If only we’re brave enough to be it

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

以下是Amanda Gorman 《 The Hill We Climb》全文 ：

When day comes, we ask ourselves

Where can we find light in this never-ending shade
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
And the norms and notions of what just is
Isn’t always justice
And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished
We, the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny black girl descended from slaves
And raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished, far from pristine
But that doesn’t mean
We are striving to form a union that is perfect

We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed
To all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
But what stands before us
We close the divide because we know
To put our future first
We must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
So we can reach out our arms to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we’ll forever be tied together
Victorious not because we will never again know defeat
But because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision that everyone
Shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid

If we’re to live up to our own time,
Then victory won’t lighten the blade
But in all the bridges we’ve made
That is the promise to glade
The hill to climb if only we dare it
Because being American is more than a pride we inherit
It’s the past we step into and how we repair it
We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
It can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future
History has its eyes on us.
This is the era of just redemption we feared
At its inception we did not feel prepared
To be the heirs of such a terrifying hour

But within it we found the power
To author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert: how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be,
A country that is bruised but whole,
Benevolent but bold, fierce, and free
We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation
Because we know our inaction and inertia
Will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens but one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might and might with right
Then love becomes our legacy, and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left
With every breath from my bronze, pounded chest
We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west
We will rise from the windswept northeast
Where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states
We will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover

In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country
Our people diverse and beautiful will emerge, battered and beautiful
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it

If only we’re brave enough to be it

'Wherever there are world systems and beings,
May I be like the lotus, not clung to by water,
And the sun and the moon, unhindered in the sky.'
‘諸惑業及魔境, 世間道中得解脫, 猶如蓮花不著水, 亦如日月不住空’

The lotus flower is used as a metaphor to illustrate the bodhisattva's conduct along the path. Bodhisattvas are not far removed from sentient beings. They don't live in mountain caves, but are very close to all beings and always have the desire to help and liberate them. Lotuses have their roots in dirty mud, but yet, their pure white blossoms remain pristine and untouched by the mud. In the same way bodhisattva practitioners along the path are not contaminated by the habitual tendencies and karma of the sentient beings that they are trying to liberate.
蓮花是用來比喻在修道上菩薩的行為。菩薩不是遠離眾生的。他們不是住在山洞裡面，而是很貼近一切眾生，並恆常地希望幫助和讓他們解脫。蓮花生於淤泥，但是，它們純白的花朵保持潔淨和不沾泥。同一方式，在修道上的菩薩不受他們幫助解脫的眾生的習氣和業所沾染。

If we harbor no hatred, no anger toward another sentient being, and the motivation for our actions is rooted in bodhicitta, then even in times of aggression we can still attain enlightenment, because our activities are uncontaminated by any affliction. With genuine bodhicitta in our mind, we do not hope for any return for our deeds, such as wanting to gain any wealth or fame in return as a reward for practicing generosity. Just as the sun and the moon benefit the world spontaneously and have no concept of "What would be good for me?" in the same way, our genuine bodhicitta is not tainted by the hope for any return. Rather, our mind is imbued with pure wishes to spontaneously benefit all sentient beings.
若果我們對另一位有情眾生沒有憤怒、嗔心，而我們行動的動機是基於菩提心，那在我們感受到威脅時，我們仍然可以得到圓滿正覺，因為我們的行動不受煩惱所染。當我們心識包含著真正的菩提心事時，我們不求回報，譬如是布施後得到財富或聲譽。就像日與月應運地利益這世界，和沒有“什麼能利益自己”的概念；同一方式，真正的菩提心不受回報的慾望所沾染。反而，我們的心識充滿了應運地利益所有眾生的純正願望。

“The King of Prayers, a commentary on The Noble King of Prayers of Excellent Conduct”, pg. 28. （英文版『普賢行願王論著』第28頁。）

When we are fully awake, mind is free of the object with which it connects to through thoughts, perceptions and feelings. Mind is unobstructed. You neither have a single thought nor many thoughts. Mind does not exist substantially. Mind is no longer ignorant or stupid in the deepest sense. But we should understand that self-realization is not like being in a coma. Instead, there is clarity and power. Self-realized mind is free from the influence of phenomena. It is mind free from all need to occupy itself; it is now an independent mind.
當我們得到圓滿正覺，心識不會受憑著思想、認知和感受所聯繫的對境所牽引。心識是無障礙的。你沒有單一或眾多的思想。心識不會實質地存在。深層裡，心識不再無知或愚蠢。但是我們應該理解證悟不是像昏迷了。反而，那裡有澄明和力量。自覺的心識不受事物的影響。它是一個不需要做作的心識；現在它是一個獨立的心識。

“From Calming Our Minds is the First Step, teaching given at Bodhi Path Washington, DC Metro Area in Spring 2004.”
（節錄自『平靜心識是第一步』-2004春，在華盛頓菩提道學院的開示）

20160220
As long as we perceive and experience the various sense objects, but are not self-aware at the same time, we react in a kind of autopilot mode. Such a preoccupied state of mind is actually a kind of stupor or drowsiness, and is based on the ignorance of dense mental states in which self-awareness is lacking. It is an automatically occurring ongoing series of cognitive acts and reactions that take place without our being in touch with the self-reflective, self-aware aspect of our mind. In short, the reflective capacity of the mind that is the basis of wisdom remains inactive. Mental activity that proceeds without our being connected with mind's pervasive self-aware capacity is simply ignorant mental activity. It is a kind of noise that serves to distract mind from its actual nature.
只要我們感知和體驗各種感覺對象，但同時不自覺，我們會以一種自動駕駛模式進行反應。 這種心識狀態其實就是一種昏睡或嗜睡，是基於缺乏自我認知的遲鈍精神狀態的無知。 這是一連串的自發性認知行為和反應，並沒有經心識自我反思和自我認知。 簡而言之，作為智慧基礎的心靈的反思能力沒有啟動。 簡單地說，沒有跟我們心識的完全自知能力所聯繫起來的都是無知的心識活動。這是一種噪音，會讓心識對自己實際的性質分心。

Once training in mindful calm abiding has tamed and pacified the cascade of thoughts, inner images, and emotions, mind's awareness that is aware of itself can emerge on its own accord. In this sense, moments of clarity arise naturally.
經過止定的修持馴服和平息如瀑布般的思想、內在映像、和情緒，心的自覺性能自然流露。在這情況下，澄明的霎那自然生起。

部落的生活一直在改變，少了過去純樸的生活態度，少了往日的團結與互助。嚴謹的部落制度幾近瓦解；一切一切美好的景象只能在夢中回憶。

感謝及懷念祖先所遺留下的生命智慧及教誨。

下雨了，小米從天而降。祭司仰望祖靈，吟誦了這段祭文。數位族人手持木杵，環繞捶擊一個巨鼓。鼓聲震撼天地，擊出祖靈的訓誨，擊出族人對祖靈的感恩及懷念，擊出族人與祖靈間永恆的牽繫。
