Ahimsa

Ahimsa - the first yama in eight limbs in Patanjali yoga sutra Ahimsa - means non-violence, non-harming It means we do not harm anyone, any beings, anything no matter through our thoughts, speech or action. Don't ignore the impact of our thoughts. Our thoughts contain energy, there is a power in it. Negative thoughts can hurt others.

How can we achieve non-violence, non-harming? Through 🕉️ Love 🕉️ Gratitude 🕉️ Connectedness, knowing that we are one

If we are grateful what life has brought us, if we love the surroundings around us, we won't harm the surroundings, no matter we are in the park, at the beach, in a restaurant or in yoga studio, we will do everything to keep it in a good state because we love the environment.

If we know we are one, we won't harm others because harming others means harming ourselves.

Will one have joy through harming others ? ? ?

Say we have a negative thought towards others, who get hurt? The first person who get hurt is ourselves, the negative energy we generated will hurt us.

Say, we are angry and we shout at others, who get hurt? We get hurt as well as other people.

Say, we do something which is harmful to others, who get hurt? Don't think it's others who get hurt. We, who do that action get hurt as well. The negative emotions we have, the negative energy we generated will be hurting us. We might not be able to see all these interrelationships, but nothing is coincidence in life, we reap what we sow. While hurting others we are hurting ourselves.

May we all cultivate more love and gratitude, work towards a better person and a more peaceful society.

Ahimsa (非暴力，不傷害 ) - 是 Patanjali 在瑜伽八支內，持戒的第一條。

這裡的含義是很廣泛的，不僅指不傷害他人的身體...

它的意思是我們要練習不要透過任何思想，言語或行為去傷害任何人，任何生物，任何事物。

千萬不要忽略我們頭腦裡念頭的力量。 我們每個念頭也帶有能量，有它的力量。負面想法已能傷害人。

我們怎麼做到非暴力，不傷害呢？ 一切是源於： 🕉️ 愛 🕉️ 感恩 🕉️ 了解到一體 (萬事萬物皆相連)

打個比喻，如果我們感激生命帶給我們的一切，感激週邊的一切，那無論我們在任何地方，公園，海灘，餐廳，瑜伽中心...等，我們都不會做出破壞性行為，我們會盡力保持週邊的環境處於一個良好的狀態，因為我們愛這個環境。

如果我們了解到所有眾生也是一體，我們便不會傷害他人，因為傷害他人其實是在傷害自己。

試想想，一個傷害別人的人真的會感到開心嗎？真的能享福嗎？？？

假設我們對別人有一些負面的想法，誰會受到傷害？ 第一個受到傷害的人便是我們自己，我們負面想法所產生的負能量會傷害我們。

再說，我們生氣了，大駡他人，誰會受到傷害？ 我們和其他人同樣地受到傷害。

再說，我們對他人有傷害性的行為，誰會受到傷害？ 不要以為只是他人受到傷害；而我們能歡天喜地地享受成果。 不要妄想，這不會發生。 世界不是這樣運作的。 任何傷害他人的人，他本人也會受到傷害。 那人的負面情緒，產生的負能量絕對會傷害他自己。 種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆，我們播什麼種子，我們便有相應的收成，這是業力法則。所有人在傷害他人時，也同時在傷害自己 (而不自知)。

願我們能培養更大的愛和感恩心，培育更美好的自己，及更和諧的社會。
