生命之光·阳光早餐
所有的畏惧来自于自私，无畏者一定是个大公无私的人；一涉足到自我，人就开始有畏惧了，怕这怕那。因为啥？有自私、有自我的东西了，而大公的东西则带来开阔、舒展。
我们在生活中可以观察自己的心理动态，尤其是比较畏惧的时候、迷失的时候、疑虑的时候，看看是不是跟自私有关系？无疑的时候是不是都是大公无私的时候？无疑无虑，无疑无畏。我们可以去对比、观察，训练自己对心念动态的认知，但不去判定是非、好坏。
自私、大公不属于谁，因为它没有自性，只不过谁用它的时候，谁的内心就会产生一种作用力——自私狭隘带来畏惧、疑虑；大公带来开阔、舒展。
这种心地的作用力是不断变化的，是没有实质的，是我们自己心理的一个认知择取的状态。而一旦“判定”所谓的是非、好坏，我们就会坚固在某种状态上。了解这个心理状态的起伏变化很重要，它可以让我们从是是非非的陷阱中走出来，不堕入世俗习惯的作为中，不会浪费生命。
我们对心理动态要有一个清晰的认知，主动运用它的无自性性。心念是一个特别了不起的智者，我们一旦认知清晰，它自身会择取，这个地方不需要人教诲，也不需要强制它。像畏惧、疑虑、开阔、舒展等等这些心念都是动态的，清晰认知它们的变化状态，慢慢地我们就可以远离“判定”带来的固化、执着的习惯。

Perception
of mental activity
Fear is borne from selfishness. One without fear is undoubtedly a selfless person. Once the ego is involved, one starts to worry about this and that. Why do we experience this fear? The root cause is the ego or selfishness. On the contrary, selflessness will lead to the openness of mind.
We can observe our mental activity in our daily lives. When we have fear, doubt or feel lost, is it related to selfishness? And in the opposing scenario, do we feel secure when we are selfless? When one is free of doubt, one is without worry; when one is without doubt, one is free of fear. Let us compare, observe and train our insight into our mental activity and do so without passing judgement on ourselves.
Selflessness and selfishness are something without self-nature, thus they are not unique to anybody. Whoever picks up either of these concepts will experience its impact on the mind. Selfishness brings about fear and doubt, while selflessness leads to openness. This inner effect is constantly changing. It is a state of our own cognitive selection and it is a state with no essence. Once we judge something as right or wrong, good or bad, we are boxed up in this certain state. It is crucial to understand the ripples of our psychological state. With this understanding, we can climb out of the trap of distinguishing right and wrong; we could stop worldly habits and wasting life.
We should have a clear insight into our psychological state and actively use its nature of none-self. Our mind is incredibly wise; it will adopt the best possible one once we gain proper perception of our psychological states. In this aspect, the mind does not need to be taught or forced. Fear, doubt and openness are mental states that are constantly changing. With a clear perception of this changing state, we can gradually free ourselves from the obsession and attachment that comes with “judgement”.

Editor's Note
While following our Master Cifa and learning Buddhism from him, very often I cannot help being moved by his targeted instructions and benefit a lot from them. Now, with a sincerely offering heart for you my fellow practitioners, I’d like to try as much as I can to share his instructions with all of you that I have recorded and sorted out. These series of records covered a number of problems from our daily life. Each problem is reflected from a specific perspective. I hope that we can learn by analog to observe and enlighten our whole life, so as, according to dharma, to arouse us to start using the inherent pure Buddha-nature as our wonderful arising condition, and make our life more beautiful, richer and more colorful.
