Why you should listen

In 2003, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf founded the Cordoba Initiative, a non-partisan and international organization that works to provide innovative solutions to conflict between Muslim and Western communities. He also serves as chair of the Initiative, actively promoting and moderating dialogue between individuals and groups. What’s more, this project was not the Imam's first foray into interreligious talks. In 1997, he started the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), a group that brings American Muslims and non-Muslims together through programs in policy, current affairs and culture.

Also, Imam Rauf regularly attends the Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic Forum (both Davos and Dead Sea) and has written three books on the topic of bringing peace to Islam's relationsIslam: A Search for MeaningIslam: A Sacred Law; and What's Right With Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West. He continues to balance his mission of creating peace with his regular duties as Imam of Masjid al-Farah, a mosque twelve blocks from Ground Zero in New York City, that he has led for 25 years.

以下我将从伊斯兰教的角度来谈论慈悯,
00:17
and perhaps也许 my faith信仰 is not very well thought of
1
5000
3000
可能我的信仰不足以被他人认为是以慈悯为本。
00:20
as being存在 one that is grounded接地 in compassion同情.
2
8000
4000
可能我的信仰不足以被他人认为是以慈悯为本。
00:24
The truth真相 of the matter is otherwise除此以外.
3
12000
2000
但是事实却相反。
00:26
Our holy book, the Koran可兰经, consists of 114 chapters,
4
14000
6000
我们神圣的《古兰经》共有114章,
00:32
and each chapter章节 begins开始 with what we call the basmala太斯米,
5
20000
4000
每一章都以泰斯米为开端,
00:36
the saying of "In the name名称 of God, the all compassionate富于同情心的, the all merciful仁慈,"
6
24000
6000
写道:奉真主,至仁主,永仁主之名。
00:42
or, as Sir先生 Richard理查德 Burton伯顿 --
7
30000
2000
或者,正如理查德·伯顿先生所言,
00:44
not the Richard理查德 Burton伯顿 who was married已婚 to Elizabeth伊丽莎白 Taylor泰勒,
8
32000
3000
我说的不是那位娶了伊丽莎白泰勒的理查德·伯顿先生,
00:47
but the Sir先生 Richard理查德 Burton伯顿 who lived生活 a century世纪 before that
9
35000
3000
而是那位生活在上世纪,周游世界的旅行家,他也曾翻译了诸多文学著作,
00:50

00:56
translates转换 it. "In the name名称 of God, the compassionatingcompassionating, the compassionate富于同情心的."
12
44000
7000
他的话翻译过来即是“奉普慈特慈真主之名。”("in the name of God, the compassionating, the compassionate.")
01:03
And in a saying of the Koran可兰经, which哪一个 to Muslims穆斯林 is God speaking请讲 to humanity人性,
13
51000
7000
《古兰经》对于穆斯林来说是真主对人类的箴言,其中有句名言,
01:10
God says to his prophet预言家 Muhammad穆罕默德 --
14
58000
3000
真主对他的先知穆罕默德说,
01:13
whom we believe to be the last of a series系列 of prophets先知,
15
61000
3000
我们相信穆罕默德是最后一位先知,
01:16
beginning开始 with Adam亚当, including包含 Noah诺亚, including包含 Moses摩西, including包含 Abraham亚伯拉罕,
16
64000
6000
之前有亚当,包括诺亚,包括摩斯,包括亚伯拉罕,包括耶稣基督,到穆罕默德为止。
01:22
including包含 Jesus耶稣 Christ基督, and ending结尾 with Muhammad穆罕默德 --
17
70000
4000
之前有亚当,包括诺亚,包括摩斯,包括亚伯拉罕,包括耶稣基督,到穆罕默德为止。
01:26
that, "We have not sent发送 you, O Muhammad穆罕默德,
18
74000
3000
真主说,“我遣你为使,穆罕默德,只为怜悯全世界的人。”Al-Quran(21:107)
01:29
except as a 'rahmah“rahmah,' except as a source资源 of compassion同情 to humanity人性."
19
77000
6000
真主说,“我遣你为使,穆罕默德,只为怜悯全世界的人。”Al-Quran(21:107)
01:35
For us human人的 beings众生, and certainly当然 for us as Muslims穆斯林,
20
83000
4000
对于我们人类,特别是对于我们穆斯林来说,
01:39
whose谁的 mission任务, and whose谁的 purpose目的 in following以下 the path路径 of the prophet预言家
21
87000
5000
我们的使命,我们的目标,就是追随先知之路,
01:44
is to make ourselves我们自己 as much like the prophet预言家.
22
92000
4000
效法先知为榜样,
01:48
And the prophet预言家, in one of his sayings语录, said,
23
96000
2000
这位先知曾在他的启示中说过,
01:50
"Adorn装饰 yourselves你自己 with the attributes属性 of God."
24
98000
5000
"以真主的德性规范你自己。"
01:55
And because God Himself他自己 said that the primary attribute属性 of his is compassion同情 --
25
103000
6000
真主曾说,慈悯是他的首要德性,
02:01
in fact事实, the Koran可兰经 says that "God decreed下旨 upon himself他自己 compassion同情,"
26
109000
5000
事实上,《古兰经》也写到,“真主曾以慈悯为自己的责任。” 或者说是,“真主已规定以慈悯为己任。”Al-Quran(6:12)
02:06
or, "reigned在位 himself他自己 in by compassion同情" --
27
114000
4000
事实上,《古兰经》也写到,“真主曾以慈悯为自己的责任。” 或者说是,“真主已规定以慈悯为己任。”Al-Quran(6:12)
02:10
therefore因此, our objective目的 and our mission任务 must必须 be to be sources来源 of compassion同情,
28
118000
7000
因此,我们的目标,我们的使命必将是以慈悯为本,
02:17
activators激活 of compassion同情, actors演员 of compassion同情
29
125000
4000
激发慈悯,演绎慈悯,
02:21
and speakers音箱 of compassion同情 and doers实干家 of compassion同情.
30
129000
4000
讲述慈悯,行持慈悯。
02:25
That is all well and good,
31
133000
3000
那都是好的,
02:28
but where do we go wrong错误,
32
136000
3000
但我们究竟出了什么问题,
02:31
and what is the source资源 of the lack缺乏 of compassion同情 in the world世界?
33
139000
5000
这世界上为什么会缺乏慈悯呢?
02:36
For the answer回答 to this, we turn to our spiritual精神 path路径.
34
144000
5000
为了解答这个问题,我们就要追溯我们的精神之路。
02:41
In every一切 religious宗教 tradition传统, there is the outer path路径 and the inner path路径,
35
149000
7000
每一个宗教的传统中都存在着我们所谓的外在之路和内在之路,
02:48
or the exoteric显宗 path路径 and the esoteric深奥 path路径.
36
156000
5000
或者称为易于理解之路和不易理解之路。
02:53
The esoteric深奥 path路径 of Islam伊斯兰教 is more popularly普遍 known已知 as Sufism苏非主义, or "tasawwuf塔索伍夫" in Arabic阿拉伯.
37
161000
8000
大家比较熟知的,关于伊斯兰教中不易理解之路是指苏非主义,阿拉伯语称为tasawwuf。
03:01
And these doctors医生 or these masters主人,
38
169000
3000
这些导师或者大师们,
03:04
these spiritual精神 masters主人 of the Sufi苏菲 tradition传统,
39
172000
4000
这些苏非派传统的精神导师们,
03:08
refer参考 to teachings教导 and examples例子 of our prophet预言家
40
176000
4000
遵循我们先知的教义和典范,
03:12
that teach us where the source资源 of our problems问题 lies.
41
180000
4000
教诲我们问题的根源在哪里。
03:16
In one of the battles战斗 that the prophet预言家 waged发动,
42
184000
4000
在一次先知发动的战斗中,
03:20
he told his followers追随者, "We are returning回国 from the lesser较小 war战争
43
188000
5000
先知告诉他的跟随者们,“我们正在从次要的战争回归到更重要的战争,更大的战斗。”
03:25
to the greater更大 war战争, to the greater更大 battle战斗."
44
193000
4000
先知告诉他的跟随者们,“我们正在从次要的战争回归到更重要的战争,更大的战斗。”
03:29
And they said, "Messenger信使 of God, we are battle-weary战斗厌倦.
45
197000
5000
跟随者们问到,“真主的使者啊,我们都厌倦了战争。
03:34
How can we go to a greater更大 battle战斗?"
46
202000
3000
我们又如何要开始一个更大的战争呢?“
03:37
He said, "That is the battle战斗 of the self, the battle战斗 of the ego自我."
47
205000
8000
先知说,“那是对自我的战争,消除心中自我的战争。”
03:45
The sources来源 of human人的 problems问题 have to do with egotism利己主义, "I."
48
213000
9000
人类问题的根源是与自我为中心,与自我息息相关的。
03:54
The famous著名 Sufi苏菲 master Rumi鲁米, who is very well known已知 to most of you,
49
222000
6000
我们非常熟知的,著名的苏非派大师鲁米,
04:00
has a story故事 in which哪一个 he talks会谈 of a man who goes to the house of a friend朋友,
50
228000
6000
讲述过一个故事,一个人走到他朋友的房前,
04:06
and he knocks敲门 on the door,
51
234000
3000
他敲门,
04:09
and a voice语音 answers答案, "Who's谁是 there?"
52
237000
3000
一个声音问他,“谁在哪儿?”
04:12
"It's me," or, more grammatically语法 correctly正确地, "It is I,"
53
240000
5000
“It is me 是我”,英文语法上正确的讲法是,“it is I,”
04:17
as we might威力 say in English英语.
54
245000
2000
“It is me 是我”,英文语法上正确的讲法是,“it is I,”
04:19
The voice语音 says, "Go away."
55
247000
3000
那个声音说到,“走开。”
04:22
After many许多 years年份 of training训练, of disciplining管教, of search搜索 and struggle斗争,
56
250000
8000
经过多年的修炼,持戒,探寻和努力,
04:30
he comes back.
57
258000
2000
这个人又回来了,
04:32
With much greater更大 humility谦逊, he knocks敲门 again on the door.
58
260000
4000
以更谦卑的态度,他再一次敲响了朋友的那扇门
04:36
The voice语音 asks, "Who is there?"
59
264000
3000
那个声音问到,“谁在那儿?”
04:39
He said, "It is you, O heartbreaker令人伤心."
60
267000
4000
他回答到,“是你,开启心灵的人。”
04:43
The door swings波动 open打开, and the voice语音 says,
61
271000
4000
大门开了,那个声音说到,
04:47
"Come in, for there is no room房间 in this house for two I's我的,"
62
275000
7000
“请进,因为这个房间里没有足够的空间可以容下两个I(我),
04:54
-- two capital首都 I's我的, not these eyes眼睛 -- "for two egos自我."
63
282000
4000
两个大写的I(我),我不是指眼睛的那个eye,是指两个自我。
04:58
And Rumi's鲁米 stories故事 are metaphors隐喻 for the spiritual精神 path路径.
64
286000
9000
鲁米的故事是对精神道路的比喻。
05:07
In the presence存在 of God, there is no room房间 for more than one "I,"
65
295000
6000
在真主面前,除了神性的我之外,没有更多的空间给其他的我。
05:13
and that is the "I" of divinity.
66
301000
5000
在真主面前,除了神性的我之外,没有更多的空间给其他的我。
05:18
In a teaching教学 -- called a "hadith圣训 qudsiqudsi" in our tradition传统 --
67
306000
4000
在一部教义里,被我们的传统称为库德西圣训(hadith qudsi),
05:22
God says that, "My servant仆人," or "My creature生物, my human人的 creature生物,
68
310000
6000
真主说到,“我的仆人,”或者“我的创造物,我的人类,
05:28
does not approach途径 me by anything that is dearer可贵 to me
69
316000
6000
不会有比听我的话而接近我的方式更可贵的了。”
05:34
than what I have asked them to do."
70
322000
3000
不会有比听我的话而接近我的方式更可贵的了。”
05:37
And those of you who are employers雇主 know exactly究竟 what I mean.
71
325000
4000
在座的雇主们会完全理解我的意思。
05:41
You want your employees雇员 to do what you ask them to do,
72
329000
4000
你想让你的员工按你的差遣办事,
05:45
and if they've他们已经 doneDONE that, then they can do extra额外.
73
333000
2000
如果他们完成了,那么他们能做更多的事情,
05:47
But don't ignore忽视 what you've asked them to do.
74
335000
3000
但是,别忽视你要求他们去做的事情。
05:50
"And," God says, "my servant仆人 continues继续 to get nearer更近 to me,
75
338000
6000
真主说到,“我的仆人通过做更多我要求他们做的事情而更亲近于我”
05:56
by doing more of what I've asked them to do" --
76
344000
3000
真主说到,“我的仆人通过做更多我要求他们做的事情而更亲近于我”
05:59
extra额外 credit信用, we might威力 call it --
77
347000
2000
我们可以称此为额外加分,
06:01
"until直到 I love him or love her.
78
349000
4000
“直到我爱上他或她。
06:05
And when I love my servant仆人," God says,
79
353000
3000
当我爱上我的仆人,“真主说,
06:08
"I become成为 the eyes眼睛 by which哪一个 he or she sees看到,
80
356000
6000
”我能成为他/她的眼去观看,
06:14
the ears耳朵 by which哪一个 he or she listens监听,
81
362000
6000
成为他/她的耳去倾听,
06:20
the hand by which哪一个 he or she grasps掌握,
82
368000
5000
成为他/她的手去拿取,
06:25
and the foot脚丫子 by which哪一个 he or she walks散步,
83
373000
4000
成为他/她的脚去行走,
06:29
and the heart by which哪一个 he or she understands理解."
84
377000
5000
成为他/她的心去感悟。”
06:34
It is this merging合并 of our self with divinity
85
382000
5000
这个自我与神性的结合
06:39
that is the lesson and purpose目的 of our spiritual精神 path路径 and all of our faith信仰 traditions传统.
86
387000
8000
是我们精神之路的启示和目的,也是我们信仰传统的全部。
06:47
Muslims穆斯林 regard看待 Jesus耶稣 as the master of Sufism苏非主义,
87
395000
6000
穆斯林认为耶稣是苏非派的大师,
06:53
the greatest最大 prophet预言家 and messenger信使 who came来了 to emphasize注重 the spiritual精神 path路径.
88
401000
7000
最伟大的先知,和强调精神之路的使者。
07:00
When he says, "I am the spirit精神, and I am the way,"
89
408000
4000
当耶稣说到,“我是精神,我是道路,”
07:04
and when the prophet预言家 Muhammad穆罕默德 said, "Whoever has seen看到 me has seen看到 God,"
90
412000
5000
当先知穆罕默德说到,“见我者即见真主,”
07:09
it is because they became成为 so much an instrument仪器 of God,
91
417000
5000
那是因为他们是真主的工具,
07:14
they became成为 part部分 of God's team球队 --
92
422000
2000
他们成为真主的一部分,
07:16
so that God's will was manifest表现 through通过 them,
93
424000
4000
所以真主的意愿是通过他们而体现
07:20
and they were not acting演戏 from their own拥有 selves自我 and their own拥有 egos自我.
94
428000
4000
不是通过他们自己和他们的自我而显现的。
07:24
Compassion同情 on earth地球 is given特定, it is in us.
95
432000
7000
慈悯是与生俱来的,它就存在于我们自身。
07:31
All we have to do is to get our egos自我 out of the way,
96
439000
5000
我们所要做的是去除我们心中的自我,
07:36
get our egotism利己主义 out of the way.
97
444000
3000
去除我们的自我主义。
07:39
I'm sure, probably大概 all of you here, or certainly当然 the very vast广大 majority多数 of you,
98
447000
8000
我确信,可能在座的你们,或者你们中的大部分人,
07:47
have had what you might威力 call a spiritual精神 experience经验,
99
455000
4000
曾经有过一段所谓的精神体验,
07:51
a moment时刻 in your lives生活 when, for a few少数 seconds, a minute分钟 perhaps也许,
100
459000
7000
在你生命中的某一时刻,几秒钟,也可以是几分钟,
07:58
the boundaries边界 of your ego自我 dissolved溶解.
101
466000
6000
你们的自我意识消失了。
08:04
And at that minute分钟, you felt at one with the universe宇宙 --
102
472000
7000
在那一刻,你会感觉与宇宙同在,
08:11
one with that jug坛子 of water, one with every一切 human人的 being存在,
103
479000
6000
与那壶水同在,与每一个人同在,
08:17
one with the Creator创造者 --
104
485000
4000
与造物主同在,
08:21
and you felt you were in the presence存在 of power功率, of awe威严,
105
489000
5000
你会感觉自己置身于力量,敬畏,
08:26
of the deepest最深 love, the deepest最深 sense of compassion同情 and mercy怜悯
106
494000
4000
和深切的爱之中,在你的生命中,你体会过最深切的慈悯和仁爱。
08:30
that you have ever experienced有经验的 in your lives生活.
107
498000
4000
和深切的爱之中,在你的生命中,你体会过最深切的慈悯和仁爱。
08:34
That is a moment时刻 which哪一个 is a gift礼品 of God to us --
108
502000
6000
那一刻是真主的恩赐,
08:40
a gift礼品 when, for a moment时刻, he lifts升降机 that boundary边界
109
508000
4000
他提升了我们的意识
08:44
which哪一个 makes品牌 us insist咬定 on "I, I, I, me, me, me,"
110
512000
6000
令我们不再执着于我,我,我,
08:50
and instead代替, like the person in Rumi's鲁米 story故事,
111
518000
4000
取而代之的,正如鲁米讲的故事中的那个人,
08:54
we say, "Oh, this is all you.
112
522000
6000
我们说,“噢,这是全部的你。”
09:00
This is all you. And this is all us.
113
528000
2000
这是全部的你。这是全部的我们。
09:02
And us, and I, and us are all part部分 of you.
114
530000
6000
我们,我,我们都是你的一部分。
09:08
O, Creator创造者! O, the Objective目的! The source资源 of our being存在
115
536000
6000
所有的创造者,所有的事物,我们人类的本源,
09:14

2000
以及我们人生的终点。
09:16

你也是我们心灵的开启者。
09:21
You are the one whom we should all be towards, for whose谁的 purpose目的 we live生活,
118
549000
6000
你是那一个我们都所要面对的,是我们生活的理由,
09:27

708000
3000
一个人要angour,一个英国人说,

153
711000
5000
一个要eneb,一个要葡萄,
12:08
And they have a fight斗争 and an argument论据 because
154
716000
3000
他们最终吵了起来,
12:11
-- "I want grapes葡萄." "I want enebeneb. "I want angurangur." --
155
719000
4000
因为我要葡萄,我要eneb,我要angour,
12:15
not knowing会心 that the word that they're using运用
156
723000
3000
他们不知道他们使用的词
12:18
refers to the same相同 reality现实 in different不同 languages语言.
157
726000
3000
其实是共指一个东西,不过是用了不同的语言而已。
12:21
There's only one absolute绝对 reality现实 by definition定义,
158
729000
6000
从定义上讲只有一个绝对的事实,
12:27
one absolute绝对 being存在 by definition定义,
159
735000
3000
从定义上讲只有一个绝对体,
12:30
because absolute绝对 is, by definition定义, single,
160
738000
3000
因为这个绝对,定义上是单一的,
12:33
and absolute绝对 and singular单数.
161
741000

10000
觉知,慈悯和爱的绝对根本
12:52
that defines定义 the primary attributes属性 of divinity.
165
760000
4000

764000
3000
那也就是
12:59
the primary attributes属性 of what it means手段 to be human人的.
167
767000
5000
身而为人的根本。
13:04
For what defines定义 humanity人性, perhaps也许 biologically生物,
168
772000
6000
至于人性的定义,生理学的角度来说,
13:10
is our physiology生理,
169
778000
3000
是我们的生理机能,
13:13
but God defines定义 humanity人性 by our spirituality灵性, by our nature性质.
170
781000
8000
但是真主是以我们的灵性,我们的本性,来定义人性的。
13:21
And the Koran可兰经 says, He speaks说话 to the angels天使 and says,
171
789000
4000
《古兰经》提到,真主对天使说,
13:25
"When I have finished the formation编队 of Adam亚当 from clay粘土,
172
793000
4000
“当我把亚当从泥土塑造成人形,
13:29
and breathed无声 into him of my spirit精神,
173
797000
4000
把我的精神传输于他,
13:33
then, fall秋季 in prostration衰竭 to him."
174
801000
4000
然后向他俯拜。”
13:37
The angels天使 prostrate, not before the human人的 body身体,
175
805000
8000
天使们俯拜他,不是俯拜他人类的躯体,
13:45
but before the human人的 soul灵魂.
176
813000
3000
而是俯拜他人类的灵魂。
13:48
Why? Because the soul灵魂, the human人的 soul灵魂,
177
816000
4000
为什么?因为,灵魂,人类的灵魂,
13:52
embodies体现 a piece of the divine神圣 breath呼吸,
178
820000

14:12
What is the imagery意象 of God?
182
840000

14:21
and absolute绝对 compassion同情 and love.
185
849000
3000
是绝对慈悯和爱。
14:24
And therefore因此, for us to be human人的 --
186
852000
4000
所以,对于身为人类的我们来说,
14:28
in the greatest最大 sense of what it means手段 to be human人的,
187
856000
4000
在最伟大的感知层面认识何为人类,
14:32
in the most joyful快乐 sense of what it means手段 to be human人的 --

在最愉悦的感知层面认识何为人类,

15:37
and that, with the presence存在 and help of people like you here,
201
925000
4000
有你们这样的人的存在和帮助,
15:41
we can bring带来 about the prophecy预言 of Isaiah以赛亚.
202
929000
6000

15:47
For he foretold预言 of a period

15:58
and will not learn学习 war战争 or make war战争 anymore.
205
946000
6000
而且不会再学习战争,也不再会有战争。
