《086》我们的生命是种种元素的集合体。我们利用世俗(世相)来说明事物，但，我们却反去执着世俗(世相)，然后认为它们是真实的事物。例如：人与事物的名字是被付予的，我们可以回到还未被付予名字之前的刚开始，然后叫男人「女人」，叫女人「男人」，有什么差别吗？可是，今天我们却去执着名字和概念，所以我们才会有性别的斗争和其他的战争。禅坐为的是看透所有这一切，然后，我们才可以达到无为，并安住于平静，而非斗争。

Our life is an assembly of elements. We use conventions to describe things, but we get attached to the conventions and take them to be something real. For example, people and things are given names. We could go back to the beginning, before names were given, and call men "women" and women "men" - what would be the difference? But now we cling to names and concepts, so we have the war of the sexes and other wars as well. Meditation is for seeing through all of this. Only then can we reach the unconditioned and be at peace, not at war.
