Please Call Me by My True Names（以真名喚我）

作者：一行禪師（Thich Nhat Hanh）



明日我不會消逝
如今我還在現身.
看啊看：我分分秒秒都在現身
我是春天枝頭上的苞芽
我是隻小小鳥 有著脆弱的翅膀
在新巢中初啼
我是花蕊中的小毛蟲
我是藏在礦中的小寶石
我一再現身
只為了歡樂和哭泣
只為了恐懼和希望.
我的心臟律動著眾生的生生死死
我是小小的蜉蝣
在河面上蛻殼
我也是那小鳥
飛衝而下吞食了牠
我是小小的青蛙
在清澈的小池裡悠游
我也是那草蛇
無聲無息吞食了牠
我是烏干達的兒童 瘦得皮包骨了
我的雙腿細得像竹竿
我也是軍火販子
把殺人武器賣到了烏干達
我是十二歲的小女孩
在小小的難民船上漂浮
被海盜強暴了
投身入海
我也是那海盜
我的心還不曾懂得去看去愛
我是政治局的官員
擁有的是權力
我也是勞改營裡的犯人
必須為償還人民的“血債”慢慢死去
我的歡樂是如此溫暖
就像春天 讓大地開滿了花朵
我的痛苦 淚流成河
注滿了地球的海洋
請以我所有的真名稱呼我
我才能同時聽見所有的哭聲和歡笑
我才能感受到所有的快樂和痛苦是一體的
請以我所有的真名稱呼我
我的心才會醒來
我的心房之門會敞開
悲憫之門

Don’t say that I will depart tomorrow --
even today I am still arriving.

Look deeply: every second I am arriving
to be a bud on a Spring branch,
to be a tiny bird, with still-fragile wings,
learning to sing in my new nest,
to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,
to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.

I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry,
to fear and to hope.

The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death
of all that is alive.

I am the mayfly metamorphosing
on the surface of the river.
And I am the bird
that swoops down to swallow the mayfly.

I am the frog swimming happily
in the clear water of a pond.
And I am the grass-snake
that silently feeds itself on the frog.

I am the child in Uganda, all skin and bones,
my legs as thin as bamboo sticks.
And I am the arms merchant,
selling deadly weapons to Uganda.

I am the twelve-year-old girl,
refugee on a small boat,
who throws herself into the ocean
after being raped by a sea pirate.
And I am the pirate,
my heart not yet capable
of seeing and loving.

I am a member of the politburo,
with plenty of power in my hands.
And I am the man who has to pay
his "debt of blood" to my people
dying slowly in a forced-labor camp.

My joy is like Spring, so warm
it makes flowers bloom all over the Earth.
My pain is like a river of tears,
so vast it fills the four oceans.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can hear all my cries and my laughter at once,
so I can see that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can wake up,
and so the door of my heart
can be left open,
the door of compassion.
