有同學問：請問我們要如何理解「日常生活中真實存在的困難」的空性呢？比如我們欠了債卻沒有還，但是我們仍然有還債的義務，如何從空性的角度來看待，並且開闢一種新的可能性呢？
▌從空性觀點，看「欠債還錢」這件事
仁波切答：舉例來說，就像這杯水，水不實存，也許你認為：「我不需要喝水，因為水不實存，我的身體也不實存。」你認為自己不需要喝水，但是你的身體是需要喝水的，你不喝水，那會發生什麼事？你的身體就會死！
所以請記得：「空」雖然不是實有，是空性的，但並不等於「什麼都沒有，什麼都是空的」，正因為它是空性，所以水和身體都可以顯現。問題在於我們不了解空性和顯現的雙運——不真實卻有顯現。就算現在有些理解，但要完全了解有很多層次。我昨天提到要完全證悟並不容易，需要很長的時間。
▌顯相如夢非實，但不尊重就會出事
在沒有完全了悟的時候，就必須要尊重、遵循世俗諦的各種規則。你每天都要喝水——這很重要，水對你世俗的身體有益。這個「不實有、如夢般的水」對「不實有、如夢般的身體」是有益處的。
因此，有債務就要償還。因為在相對層面的世俗諦上，債務存在，你也存在。當然，在究竟層面來講，它們就像夢一般，不是真的。
▌有勝義諦的見地，也要有世俗諦的行為
這裡，我們要講到「行為」跟「見地」。行持和見地兩者要並行，當你的行持很想跟上見地而因此覺得：「哦，這一切都是空的，我不需要喝水」；但你還沒有達到那境地，現在還是卡在世俗層面上，如果不喝水就會死去。
然而，如果你不理解空性、沒有空性的見地，就會變得緊繃，認爲：「啊，這是對的、這是錯的、這是真的」，這樣又會陷入輪迴中不斷流轉。
所以我們的「行為」跟「見地」要並行。

#DebtIsEmptiness?
#RespectTheRulesOfRelativeTruth
Question: How do we understand the emptiness of our difficulties in daily life? For instance, we have a debt we are obliged to repay but don’t have the resources to repay it. Debt is real. How can we view it from the perspective of emptiness and open up a new possibility of dealing with it?
▌Understanding indebtedness from the perspective of emptiness
Rinpoche’s answer: It is like this glass of water. This water does not exist. But if you say, “Oh I don’t need to drink this water because it does not exist and my body does not exist”, what will happen? You will die.
But remember: emptiness is not nothing. Because of emptiness, water and the body can appear. The problem here is we don’t understand the union – not real yet appear. Even if you understand it now, there are still many layers. I mentioned yesterday that it is difficult to achieve full realisation. It will take a long time.
▌Appearances are dream-like and unreal, but must be respected
So until you are fully realised, you have to follow the relative rules. You have to drink water every day – it’s very important. It’s good for your relative body. Dream-like water is good for your dream-like body.
So if you have debt, you try your best to pay it back. Because on the relative level, debt exists and you exist. You have to repay it. But on the ultimate level, they are like a dream – not real.
▌View accords with the absolute truth, action accords with the relative truth
We say our action and view must join together. Our action should not follow the view, thinking there’s no need to drink water as everything is emptiness. You have not yet reached that level, now you are stuck on the relative level. If you don’t drink water, you will die.
Or if you don’t understand emptiness, you become tight – “this is right”, “this is wrong”, “this is true”. Then we follow samsara again and again.
So try to join your action and view together.
