无聊的当下是缺乏智慧观察的时候（中英开示）

　　现在的人总爱说无聊。

　　那无聊是什么呢？

　　就是当我们要择取认为迎合自心的东西、或者自心认为某个美好的东西，而现实那个东西不符合自己的预期，或者不对称于自心的盼望时，期待的美好落空，就会感到失落无聊。

　　Nowadays, people often say that they feel bored. But, what on earth is boredom？We feel bored when we expect things to meet our taste, our needs or our pleasure but reality fails to meet our expectations. Then we feel disappointed and eventually, we get bored.

　　无聊的当下，一定是我们缺乏了智慧观察的时候。我们被所看、所听、所想等等的见闻觉知奴役了，被外相的境界所转，并且还被它们支配了我们的意识、言说与作为。

　　The reason why we feel bored lies in our failing to use wisdom to observe at this very moment. As a result, we are dominated by what we see, hear, think or feel. The external phenomena severely influence our thoughts, speeches and behaviours.

　　所谓的智慧观察，就是在每个现行中观察，一切事相之生生灭灭皆无自性、无实质，如梦如幻是其本质。这种观察称为妙观，是觉悟者的观察角度，特别有味道。

　　Using wisdom to observe means observing that the rising and ceasing of every phenomenon is without any essence, or like a dream by nature. This is called Wonderful Observation， which is an amazing perspective used by the enlightened sages.

　　尤其是当我们由心而发地去观察，就会使生命变得特别富有。起码不会感到无聊，无聊这个词永远生不起。

因为我们内心就是个法界，你没有无聊的理由。

　　Especially when we observe things from deep inside our heart, our life becomes active and colourful. At least we have no reason to feel bored or the idea of getting bored will never come up to our minds because our heart is the whole universe，which is so rich and dynamic that there is no reason for us to be bored.
