昨天在回深圳的飞机上，读完了<Way of the Peaceful Warrior>这本书，合上书页，凝视着窗外的夜空和微弱的星光，整个灵魂都大受震撼，让黄昊对生命有了一种不一样的理解和视角。似乎也感受到了一种超脱、快乐和幸福。
当我们超越自己的身体，看到自己变成了鲜花、大树、小草、果实，自己融入江河、大海，汇入河流、湖泊，自己成为砂砾、岩石，成为云朵、微风，成为每一个你、我、他，融入地球大的生态循环中，成为地球的一部分时，自己真的感受到了一体的状态，一种超越小我的自由自在，以及和一切的人、事、物、境不分你我的亲切合一，让我瞬间理解了，什么叫”小水滴融入大海，瞬间厚德载物“。内心唯有欢喜、感恩。
2022年3月15号，看了《和平战士》这部电影，当时刚刚开始调整饮食结构，并且开始关注个人成长的话题，因此对这部电影特别有共鸣。其实很多美国电影都会以“活在当下”作为电影的主轴去编写故事，但这部电影最打动黄昊的，是他展示了一个真实的案例，Dan从最初的无知无觉，傲慢自大，经过不断的练习、叩问、成长，最终克服重重阻碍，蜕变为一个真正的勇士，并愿意将自己的所学去传承、分享给更多的人。Soc说的每一句话，细品都是深邃的智慧，Dan的很多看问题的视角、做事的行为，也都照见到了当时黄昊自己。当时最大的感受就是，这不就是在说心性升级么？因此第一次看完电影就写了观后感：《和平战士》-观后感
这部电影对我特别有链接，因此过去的两年多时间里，每当有合适的机会，黄昊都会把这部片子分享给身边的亲人、朋友，有的时候也会陪伴他们一起观看，而且好像随着自己的成长，这部影片也让黄昊看到了更多之前忽略、或没看懂的对话。这次父母来深圳，陪着他们又看了一遍，在电影最后一幕，吊环碰撞，画面变黑，然后飘出一段字：
“丹成为了一名作家，他的书鼓舞了全球上百万读者，他和他的妻子乔伊现居住在北加州“
之前看到这里就会起身离开了，但这次看到这段话，让我陷入了沉思，特别想要去了解，现实生活中的Dan到底是什么样子的，因此就去搜了这本书，决定要认真拜读。
4月15号收到这本书，到5月9号这三周的时间里，咖啡店、面包店、海边、飞机、酒店，我书包里始终带着这本书，有时间就翻开读几页，有时被Soc的幽默所逗的哈哈大笑，有时被Dan痛苦后的成长所感动到默默流泪，自己的心情随着故事的推进起起伏伏。有时候会觉得，书里虽然写的是别人的故事，但好像在讲述自己的人生一样，真实和震撼。
当然，想要真正成为一名Peaceful Warrior，不是通过读一本书，或者看一部电影就可以瞬间获得。可能看完当下感觉非常震撼，甚至觉得自己已经开悟了，瞬间以为自己以后的人生也将会翻开新篇章了，那就想多了。规律是“开悟一瞬间，了悟一百年”，通过读别人的故事，顶多算是翻开了自己征程的序言，而要想长时间的保持这种状态，并且成为这种人，就需要自己不断的练习、坚持、逐渐证得，从迷倒悟，如此循环。
就像Soc说的：
All along I have shown you the way Of the peaceful warrior, not the way To the peaceful warrior. As long as you tread the way, you Are a warrior.
和平战士的状态，并不是一个我们要努力到达的终点，而是这个止于至善的过程，只要你心中有这个目标，并在不断践行、尝试，你就已经是一个勇士了。

I started breathing deeply, the way Socrates had shown me, after a few minutes I started to feel funny in my belly and chest, They were warm inside, relaxed, and open. Suddenly, I was crying like a baby, wildly happy and not knowing why. In that moment, I was breathing completely without effort; it felt like I was being breathed. It felt so pleasurable, I thought ”who needs to go to movies to be entertained?” – P129 我开始深呼吸，就像苏格拉底教我的那样，几分钟后，我开始感觉到我的腹部和胸部有些奇怪，它们里面温暖、放松和开放。突然，我像个婴儿一样哭泣，非常高兴，不知道为什么。 在那一刻，我完全毫不费力地呼吸；感觉就像是我在被呼吸。感觉如此愉悦，我想“谁需要去看电影来娱乐呢？” – P129
I was still twenty yards away from Joseph when I heard his cry of anguish and saw him drop slowly to his knees and cry. He leaped up with a scream of fury; then he relaxed. He smiled when he saw me:” I felt very upset, so I really let it out”, I remembered Soc’s words, “let it flow and let it go”. – P131 当我离约瑟夫还有二十码远的时候，我听到他痛苦的哭泣声，看到他慢慢地跪下来哭泣。他带着愤怒的尖叫跳了起来；然后他放松了。他看到我时微笑了：“我感到很不安，所以我真正地释放了它”，我记得索克的话，“让它流动，让它走”。- P131
in a small fishing village in Japan there lived a young, unmarried woman who gave birth to a child, her parents felt disgraced and demanded to know the identity of the father. Afraid, she refused to tell them. The fisherman she loved had told her, secretly, that he was going off to seek his fortune and would return to marry her, Her parents persisted. In desperation, she named Hakuin, a monk who lived in the hills, as the father. Outraged, the parents took the infant girl up to his door, pounded until he opened it, and handed him the baby, saying “This child is yours; you must care for it!” ”Is that so?” Hakuin said, taking the child in his arms, waving good-bye to the parents. A year passed and the real father returned to marry the woman, at once they went to Hakuin to beg for the return of the child. ”We must have our daughter,” they said ”Is that so?” said Hakuin, handing the child to them. ”An interesting story, Joseph, but I don’t understand why you’re telling it to me now, I mean, your cafe just burned down!“ ”Is that so?” he said. Then we laughed as I shook my head in resignation.
在日本的一个小鱼村里，住着一个年轻的未婚女性，她生下了一个孩子，她的父母感到耻辱，并要求知道父亲的身份。害怕的她拒绝告诉他们。她所爱的渔夫私下告诉她，他要去寻找他的财富，然后回来娶她，她的父母坚持要求。绝望中，她把住在山上的一个和尚，白隐，说成是孩子的父亲。 愤怒的父母把婴儿女孩带到他的门前，敲打直到他开门，然后把婴儿交给他，说：“这个孩子是你的；你必须照顾它！” “是这样吗？”白隐说，抱着孩子，向父母挥手告别。 一年过去了，真正的父亲回来娶了那个女人，他们立刻去找白隐，请求归还孩子。 “我们必须要有我们的女儿，”他们说 “是这样吗？”白隐说，把孩子交给了他们。 “一个有趣的故事，约瑟夫，但我不明白你现在为什么告诉我这个，我的意思是，你的咖啡馆刚刚烧毁了！” “是这样吗？”他说。然后我们笑了，我无奈地摇了摇头。
得之坦然，失之淡然
We can say that habit itself – any unconscious, compulsive ritual – is negative, but specific activities are bad and good, every action has its price, and its pleasure, Recognizing both sides, you become realistic and responsible for your actions. and only then can you make the warrior’s free choice – to do or not to do. – P133
我们可以说习惯本身——任何无意识的、强迫性的仪式——是负面的，但特定活动有好有坏，每一个行动都有其代价和乐趣，认识到两面，你变得现实并对你的行动负责。只有这样，你才能做出勇士的自由选择——做或不做。- P133
控制饮食结构，不是不能吃XXX，而是我选择不去吃XXX，这是一种自主选择的能力，而不是被欲望推着走
I knelt outside my apartment and touched the earth, taking a handful of dirt in my hand, I gazed up through emerald leaves shimmering in the breeze, For a few precious seconds, I seemed to slowly melt into the earth, Then for the first time since I was a tiny child, I felt a life-giving presence without a name – P136 我跪在公寓外面，触摸着大地，手中握着一把泥土，我透过微风中闪烁的翠绿色叶子凝视着，几秒钟珍贵的时间，我似乎慢慢地融入了大地，然后自从我还是一个小孩以来第一次，我感到了一个没有名字的生命赋予的存在 – P136
常怀感恩之心
Death is not sad, the sad thing is that most people don’t ever really live at all.I’d seen the futility of trying to live up to the conditioned expectations of others or of my own mind, I would, like the warrior, choose when, where, and how I would think and act. – P138
死亡并不悲伤，悲伤的是大多数人根本没有真正活过。我看到了试图达到他人或自己心灵的条件化期望的徒劳，我会像勇士一样选择何时、何地以及如何思考和行动。- P138

There are no ordinary moments – P143 没有平凡的时刻 – P143

Running wasn’t a test of your body, but of your spirit – a test to see if you would go on – not just with the hill, but with your training. – P149 跑步不是对你身体的考验，而是对你精神的考验——考验你是否会继续——不仅仅是与小山一起，还有你的训练。- P149
Satori is the warrior’s state of being; it occurs at the moment when the mind is free of thought, pure awareness; the body is active, sensitive, relaxed; and the emotions are open and free. the final step for the warrior is to expand his clarity into daily life. Then satori will become your reality, your key to the gate; only then we will be equals. – P151 悟性是勇士的存在状态；它发生在心灵没有思想、纯粹意识的时刻；身体是活跃的、敏感的、放松的；情感是开放和自由的。 勇士的最后一步是将他的清晰度扩展到日常生活中。然后悟性将成为你的现实，你通往大门的钥匙；只有那时我们才会平等。- P151

You’ll have to lose your mind before you can come to your senses. – P166 你将不得不失去你的心智，然后才能恢复你的感官。- P166
Refine your senses a little more each day, stretch them, as you would in the gym. Finally, your awareness will pierce deeply into your body and into the world, then you’ll think about life less and feel it more, then you’ll enjoy even the simplest things in life. – P167 每天进一步提炼你的感官，伸展它们，就像你在健身房里做的那样。最终，你的意识将深深穿透你的身体和世界，然后你会更少地思考生活，更多地感受它，然后你甚至会享受生活中最简单的事物。- P167
Happiness = Satisfaction / Desires You can cultivate a simple lifestyle of few desires; that way you always have more than enough money. – P167 幸福 = 满足 / 欲望 你可以培养一种简单的生活方式，欲望很少；这样你总是有足够的钱。- P167
知足者富-《道德经》
Stay in the present, you can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for. there have never been past warriors, nor will there be future ones, either. the warrior is here, now. Your sorrow, your fear and anger, regret and guilt, your envy and plans and cravings live only in the past, or in the future. the mind is like a phantom, never exists in the present, its only power over you is to draw your attention out of the present. – P170 留在当下，你无法改变过去，未来也不会完全按照你的计划或希望到来。过去从未有过勇士，将来也不会有。勇士就在这里，现在。你的悲伤、你的恐惧和愤怒、遗憾和内疚、你的嫉妒和计划和渴望只存在于过去或未来。 心灵就像一个幻影，永远不存在在当下，它对你唯一的力量就是将你的注意力从当下引开。- P170
Your business is not to ‘get somewhere’, – it is to be here. 你的事业不是去“某个地方”，而是要在这里。

勇士的状态不是一个目的地，也不是一个我们所要努力到达的终点，而是这个止于至善的过程，只要你心中有这个目标，并在不断践行、尝试，你就已经是一个勇士了。
There once was a people who lived their entire lives within a Cave of Illusions. after generations, they came to believe that their own shadows, cast upon the walls, were the substance of reality. Throughout history, there have been blessed exceptions to the prisoners of the Cave. There were those who became tired of the shadow play, who began to doubt it, who were no longer fulfilled by shadows no matter how high they leaped. they became seekers of light. A fortunate few found a guide who prepared them and who took them beyond all illusion into the sunlight. All the peoples of the world, Dan are trapped within the Cave of their own minds. Only those few warriors who see the light, who cut free, surrendering everything, can laugh into eternity. – P199 曾经有一群人，他们一生都生活在幻觉的洞穴里。几代人之后，他们开始相信，自己投射在墙上的影子，是现实的实质。 历史上，洞穴的囚徒中有一些幸运的例外。有些人厌倦了影子游戏，开始怀疑它，无论他们跳得多高，都不再满足于影子。他们成为了寻找光明的人。少数幸运者找到了一个向导，这个向导准备了他们，并带领他们超越了所有的幻觉，进入阳光。 世界上所有的人，丹，都被困在自己心灵的洞穴里。只有那些少数看到光明、剪断束缚、放弃一切的勇士，才能笑对永恒。- P199
I didn’t speak much, but I laughed often, Every time I looked around – at the earth, the sky, the sun, the trees, the lakes, the streams- I remembered that it was all Me!

Now I know that I am not only the single piece of flash-and that secret makes all the difference! – P202 我不太说话，但我经常笑，每次我环顾四周——看着大地、天空、太阳、树木、湖泊、溪流——我记得这一切都是我！ 这些年来，丹·米尔曼长大了，努力成为一个“有成就的人”。他曾经是一个有成就的人，被锁在一个充满恐惧的心灵和凡人的身体里。 现在我知道，我不仅仅是一个闪光的个体——那个秘密让一切都变得不同！- P202
置之死地而后生、凤凰涅槃重生

每个人都生活在自己的有限已知里，成为”囚“徒，并且在一次次执着中，不断固化自己的认知，一层层加厚自己的囚笼，最后让自己越来越不自由，离幸福越来越远。
