5/11/2009 Meditate on Nature旅行时的摄影，可以留下美好的图景，给朋友分享，给自己留下回忆，然而在过程中经历每一个瞬间，才是最重要的，摄影有时候反倒会阻碍我们全身心去体验大自然，体验旅途的当下。以下文字转自Yoga Journal的Daily Insight：
When we spend time in the wilderness, it can be tempting to focus our awareness on "doing" something: taking pictures; getting a certain amount of physical exercise; traveling from point A to point B; naming all the species of birds we encounter. While nature photography is a lovely craft, and we need to exercise for good health, and understanding what lives in our environment is a valid part of deepening our relationship with the land, these activities can separate us from a more intimate experience of the natural world. It is all too easy to forget to actually experience with all our senses that which we are busily capturing and identifying. The natural world invites us out of our world of fixed concepts and into a closer proximity with reality—what Buddhist teachings call "nonconceptual awareness." Experiencing the natural world with nonconceptual awareness means that, rather than seeing a [small] black bird and thinking, "That's a starling, a nonnative bird introduced from England several centuries ago," we stop and see each particular bird's incandescent blue-black velvet feathers, piercing amber eyes, and delicate, wiry feet. Instead of encountering the world through a filter of ideas, memories, and labels, we connect deeply with the unfiltered and vital pulse of life in that moment.
翻译大概如下：
当我们徜徉于大自然，我们的意识往往关注在这些活动上：照相、做运动、从A地点旅行到B地点、给途中见到的每一只小鸟命名……诚然，大自然的风光优美如画，为了身体健康也需要运动，了解我们周边的物种更能加深人与自然的关系，但是这些活动会让我们远离与大自然世界的更亲密体验。“做”这些活动，我们将忙于捕捉画面或给事物贴上标签，于是很自然地我们忘记了要用自己的知觉去真正地体验世界。
大自然让我们摆脱平时思维的固定概念，邀请我们进入一个更为真实的世界——佛教称之为“不带概念的觉知”。不带概念地觉知大自然和世界意味着，当你见到一只黑色小鸟，你不要想“这是一只八哥，一种非本土的鸟类，是在几个世纪之前从英国引进的”，我们观察每只独一无二的小鸟，看着它的蓝黑色羽毛美丽得像天鹅绒，琥珀色的眼睛如此透彻，还有那精巧细致的双脚。总之，不要用你的理念、记忆和标签去辨知世界，我们只要深切地与生命每一瞬间真实的脉动相联结。
