不執著的正義與反義 Non-Attachment: Its True Meaning and
Misinterpretation
時下人們常掛在嘴邊的不執著，真正去了解不執著的內容，「那應該是佛法教學上面為讓大家易於明白，而採用的詞語。」在苦，集，滅，道四聖諦的修道裡面，如果可以放入不執著的境界，應該是在「滅」而要進入「道」的境界，也就是要涅槃了，所以人世間的一切跟一個要證入涅槃的聖者，不再相干，當然也無須執著與放下。
只是，這不執著的教學方法，怎變成了日常用語，跟要求別人要這樣做的殿堂，彷彿執著了就只是凡夫俗子，而大家都害怕自己是俗人！？
掛在嘴邊的不執著，除了只是口頭禪以外，隨便說出的不執著、放下，如同常常在打自己的嘴巴，因為一般人不執著與不挑著，將如何生存！？這要思慮一下！
就是修行也一樣，不執意於佛法的道路究竟對不對，將如何知道自己是否有前進了！？
我時時都執著於檢視自己接受的想法對嗎？更執著於自己的腳步踏在何方！同時也努力讓自己能放下已經走過的執留，真能放下以往，又是如何欣喜啊！
所以，聰明的人們應該很清楚執著是必要的！

People often talk about non-attachment, but
to truly understand it, we must recognize that it is a teaching tool in
Buddhism, meant to simplify complex ideas.
In the Four Noble Truths, i.e. suffering,
its cause, its cessation, and the path to its cessation, if non-attachment
applies, it belongs to “cessation” leading to the path, meaning one is
approaching nirvana. At that stage, worldly matters no longer concern the
enlightened one—there is no need to cling, nor even to let go.
Yet, how did this Buddhist teaching become
a casual phrase in daily life, even a demand imposed on others? It’s as if
having attachments makes one an ordinary person—and people fear being seen as
ordinary!
When non-attachment becomes just a meaningless
slogan, telling people to simply "let go" contradicts itself—because
in reality, how can one survive without holding onto anything? This deserves deep
examining!
Even in spiritual practice, if one has no
commitment to the Buddhist path, how can they know if they are
progressing?
I constantly hold on to examining my own
thoughts and ensuring my steps are on the right path. At the same time, I
strive to let go of what I no longer need—what a joy it is to truly move
forward!
Therefore, the wise know clearly that
attachment is necessary.
