📖 释义 Annotation

「涤除玄览」是老子对心灵修养的深刻指引。「玄览」即玄妙的心镜——人心本如明镜,能照见万物真相,但被欲望、偏见、成见所蒙蔽。「涤除」就是洗涤清除这些遮蔽,让心镜恢复本来的清明。这一比喻后来被禅宗发展为「心如明镜台,时时勤拂拭」。

"Purify the mysterious mirror" — the mind is originally like a bright mirror reflecting truth, but obscured by desires and biases. "Purifying" means cleansing these obscurations, restoring original clarity. This metaphor was later developed by Zen Buddhism.

💡 当代启示 Modern Application

在冥想与正念练习中,「涤除玄览」提供了古老的理论根基——清除杂念,回归内心的明澈。要做出正确判断,先要清除自己的偏见和预设。

In meditation, "purify the mysterious mirror" provides ancient grounding — clearing distractions to return to inner clarity. To judge correctly, first clear your biases.
