讀者想知道我實際怎麼應用《中觀——空論》

1.「前提；龍樹直擊勝論派與阿毗達磨的極微論，

指出「若極微有體積即可再分，

若無體積則疊加不出物體」，

證明極微無自性。」
（我用30年理解這ㄧ段）

2.「我個人修行到後來，也得面對這個問題，
因為修行的力量越強，雜念越清楚，
這個在印度稱為原子（微塵）干擾！」

3.稍微有打坐經驗的修行者或是你安靜下來，滿腦子浮浮沉沉的想法，

抓一個腦海重點，回到1.的內容，

在你腦海浮沉的想法，沒有體積，但是你要求他安靜，要費很大的力量才能達到「止」的目的。

等把大腦浮沉的想法，訓練得再專注一點後，會發覺那些想法，像鋼筋鐵條，一條一條駐立，
（當然我是以我個人的經驗為主，不是大家都這樣。）

這個時候我常常運用起，龍樹菩薩的——八不空論，不斷地給自己自我分析，

當大腦堵住的時候，就產生自我頑抗不肯承認，由過往經驗主導的思考，左右著自己，而時空背景早已過去。

是人的肉體感官、知覺記住了，能做的是不斷馴服自己接受，龍樹菩薩——八不，傳遞的理念。

大腦裡面裝載著時空背景，裝載著個人經驗，裝載著沉澱的一切⋯⋯。

如果都是堆積的，請問你如何往前走？
我都是這樣反問自己？
甚至撞擊自己！
一步一步紮下功力。

Reference Materials on Atomic (Paramāṇu) Concept4

 

Readers ask how I apply Madhyamaka — the Doctrine of Śūnyatā in practice.

 

1. Premise

Nāgārjuna refuted atomic theory:

If atoms have volume, they are divisible; if not, they cannot form objects.

Thus, they lack inherent existence.

(This took me thirty years to understand.)

 

2. Personal practice
As my practice deepened, I had to face this issue directly.
As my practice became stronger, I noticed more and more subtle thoughts.
In Indian terms, this is like “atomic-level disturbance.”

 

3. Application in meditation
Anyone with some meditation experience—or even when sitting quietly—will notice the mind is full of drifting thoughts.

 

Returning to the principle in point (1):

These thoughts have no real “size.” Yet, to make them settle, one must exert great effort to achieve stillness (śamatha).

 

With better concentration, thoughts can feel very solid—like metal bars.
(This is just my personal experience; not everyone will perceive it this way.).

 

At such times, I apply Nāgārjuna’s “Eight Negations” to examine myself.

 

When the mind gets stuck, it resists change.
Old experiences take control, even though the situation has already passed.

What remains are memories stored in the body and mind.

So I train myself again and again to accept the insight conveyed by Nāgārjuna’s Eight Negations.

 

The mind is filled with accumulated past experiences.

If everything is just accumulation,
how can we move forward?

This is how I question myself—
again and again.

At times, I even push myself hard,
confronting my own resistance.

Step by step, the practice deepens.

 

This is my personal experience of applying Madhyamaka.
