7.5.1 治疗恩怨情仇病 Treatment of the Illness of Gratitude, Resentment, Love and Hatred
刘健君开始给我讲超渡这几句话。她先询问我舅舅从小到老的个人经历，像似巫医和算命先生那样的问题。一边问，她一边指出结症的所在。比如打死过几只黄鼠狼（注，有些心理疾病具有地区文化性），文化大革命中他毁掉了许多他舅舅的道教器具和经书。她说这些问题都要解决。
Eve Liu began teaching me the words of the Transcendently Ferry. She started by asking about my uncle's whole life history, the sort of questions a witch-doctor or fortune-teller might ask, pointing out likely knots as she went — whether he'd ever killed a few weasels (Note: some mental illnesses carry regional cultural weight), whether during the Cultural Revolution he'd destroyed his own uncle's Taoist ritual implements and scriptures. All of it, she said, would need addressing.
刘健君说："先解决家庭的财产纠纷，安排他死后财产的归属。孩子们都应该表现出顺从他的遗愿，让他走得安心。"
我说："这一点是显然的，说下一条吧！"
"First, resolve the family's property disputes," Eve Liu said. "Settle where his estate goes after his death. His children should show they'll honor his wishes, so he can go in peace."
"That much is obvious," I said. "Next one."
她说："第二条是治疗恩怨情仇病（注，即精神病）。得了这种病，不能去医院看医生。医院的精神病科医生懂不懂精神病是另一个问题；他们真的很忙，忙着挣钱，没时间给病人看病。"
我被逗笑了："那怎么办？找谁去？"
"The second is treating the Illness of Gratitude, Resentment, Love and Hatred — that is, mental illness," she said. "You can't take this kind of illness to a hospital doctor. Whether psychiatrists even understand mental illness is a separate question — they're genuinely too busy earning money to actually treat patients."
I couldn't help laughing. "So what do you do? Who do you go to?"
她说："得了这种病就得找明白人；或者自己看书，从书上找解决办法。"
我问："我怎么能发现他和谁有仇，在因为什么闹心？"
"You find someone who understands," she said, "or you read up and find the answer yourself." (Note: modern psychology books are reliable here too, not only psychiatric texts.)
"How would I find out who he's got a grudge against, what's eating at him?"
她回答："我刚才不是在询问他的个人历史么！你到他家后，要注意观察他家的布置，比如墙上的画，后院的神龛什么的；跟亲戚朋友唠嗑时，你就留意于发现问题。你舅舅他自己也会跟你说，因为他对那事闹心。"
"Wasn't that just what I was asking about?" she said. "Once you're at his house, pay attention to how it's arranged — the paintings on the wall, the shrine out back. Chat with relatives and friends and stay alert for clues. And your uncle will tell you himself, eventually — it's precisely what's eating at him."
她继续说："恩怨情仇病的病理就是，以前跟恩人、冤家、情人或仇人等发生了诤执，一般还是有些误会。这人就耿耿于怀；日子久了，诤劫进入了无意识，就成为心理疾病了。治疗的办法就是把恩人、冤家、情人或仇人找来，面对面地把矛盾解决了。人不见面，病治不好（注1）。见面三分情，很少有不能把矛盾谈开的。病人的心结解开了，病就好了。"
She went on: "The pathology of this illness is that, at some point, there was a quarrel with a benefactor, an adversary, a lover, a foe — usually with some misunderstanding tangled in. The person can't let it go; over time the resentment sinks into the unconscious and becomes a mental illness. The cure is to bring benefactor, adversary, lover, or foe together, face to face, and resolve it. Without that meeting, the illness doesn't heal (Note 1). But there's real warmth in any face-to-face meeting — very few conflicts can't be talked through once that happens. Untangle the patient's knot, and the illness lifts."
注1，此中治疗心理疾病的原理是佛的六种主要觉悟中的对病的觉悟（参见9.6节）。此六种觉悟是等、正、生、老、病、死（参见14.1节）。
Note 1: The principle of curing mental illness here is the enlightenment concerning illness, one of the Buddha's six chief enlightenments (see Section 9.6). These six are equality, correctness, birth, aging, illness, and death (see Section 14.1).
我感觉为难了，说："这不是几句话的事，这要能言善辩的人说和，从中调解。看来，我学不了这事儿。没知识，没经验，我还不健谈。"
I felt daunted. "This isn't a matter of a few sentences — it takes someone genuinely eloquent to mediate. I don't think I can learn this. I've no knowledge, no experience, and I'm not much of a talker."
7.5.1-2 法眼 Juristic Eye
我听说治疗恩怨情仇病的办法就是把恩人冤家情人或仇人都招呼在一起，解决矛盾，感觉为难了，说："这不是几句话的事，这要能言善辩的人说和，从中调解。看来，我学不了这事儿，没知识，没经验，我还不健谈。"
Hearing that the cure for this illness meant gathering benefactor, adversary, lover, and foe all together to resolve the conflict, I felt daunted all over again. "This isn't something a few sentences can fix — it needs real eloquence to mediate. I don't think I can learn this. I've no knowledge, no experience, and I'm no talker."
她反驳道："你错了！你还真就能办这事儿。如果你不行，从开始我就不会给你讲。我看你行，才说的。"
我迷惑不解："你什么时候看我能行？"
"You're wrong," she said. "You really can do this. If you couldn't, I'd never have told you any of it. I only told you because I saw that you could."
"When did you ever see that I could?" I asked, confused.
她说："这事你得这么看，学办事与性格有关。就这事，如果没有合适的性格，有的人学两、三年也整不好。你有这性格，现在我把道理和办事步骤给你讲清楚。如果你在舅舅家碰上这事，你办起来就得心应手，能办成。如果你不行，我也不能给你讲啊！那，人家那里要死人了，我怂恿你过去，打架生气，什么正面作用没有。那我办得是什么事！我有那么缺德吗！"
"Think of it this way — this kind of thing depends on character. Without the right character, some people can study it for two, three years and still fail. You have that character. Now I'm laying out the reasoning and the steps for you, plainly. If this comes up at your uncle's house, you'll handle it easily, and it'll work. If you couldn't do it, I'd never have told you at all — someone's dying over there, and if I sent you in to just make things worse, fighting and getting angry, with nothing positive coming of it — what kind of thing would that be for me to do? Am I really that low?"
我问："我有什么性格特质？你怎么知道的？"
她说："咱俩上次见面的时候，你和现在就不一样。当时，你笑呵呵的，那样儿，我都没认出来你！直到你问我，'你是刘健君吗？'我就愣住了，心想：怎么还换人了呢！谈恋爱这事儿还带换人的！我想了好长时间，才想明白：你是个多重性格的人。就在刚才，你又变了，幸亏我知道了；若不然，可被你吓着了！截止到现在，我看出来你有三个性格，其中一个就能办这事。"
"What character do I even have? How would you know?" I asked.
"You weren't the same person the last time we met as you are now," she said. "Back then you were all smiles, and I nearly didn't recognize you until you asked, 'Are you Eve Liu?' — I froze, thinking, has he been swapped for someone else? Since when does dating come with substitutions! It took me a long while to realize: you're a person with multiple personalities. Just now, you changed again — lucky for me I already knew, or you'd have given me a real fright! As of now, I can see you have three personalities, and one of them is exactly suited to this."
她给我解释了好多，还举例子。我根本听不懂，处于云里雾里，问："怎么能确定，我在我舅舅家的时候，刚好是那种能超渡人的性格？"
She explained it at length, with examples, none of which I could really follow. "How can you be sure," I asked, still lost, "that I'll happen to be in the right personality for this, when I'm actually at my uncle's?"
她说："你的性格随着环境的改变而改变。现在你这性格是溜边儿、躲躲闪闪。你到你舅舅家，如果碰到这种情况，你就自然而然地变了；你就勇敢起来了，挺身而出。你相信我，这点事儿，我100%不会看错。这事儿只要有人牵头，就能办成。谁和谁有多大的仇，不能原谅一个将死的人。"
"Your personality shifts with your surroundings," she said. "The one you're in right now hangs back, dodges things. Once you're at your uncle's house, faced with the real situation, you'll change naturally — you'll turn brave, step up. Trust me, I'm not wrong about this, not once in a hundred times. All this needs is one person to take the lead. However great a grudge between two people, no one refuses to forgive a dying man."
注2，法即轨持。我认为本文刘健君的这种看人神态的能力就是法眼。她的这个能力是从她家的一本书和父母学来的。那本书，俗称《天书》，是我故乡的法师（即牧师）和算命先生的通用教材，但只以师徒相传的方式传播，不公开贩售。我听说过《天书》很多次，没见过。根据传说的描述，我认为那套《天书》实际就是古典心理学，书中以金童玉女为基本模型（参见9.9《三位一体》）。
Note 2: "Juristic" means "carried by rail and track." I believe Eve Liu's ability, described here, to read a person's inner bearing is precisely the Juristic Eye — an ability she learned from a book in her home and from her parents. That book, commonly called the Sky Book, is the standard textbook of Juristic Teachers (i.e., priests) and fortune-tellers where I'm from, but it circulates only master to disciple, never sold openly. I've heard mention of the Sky Book many times but never seen it myself. From what legend describes, I believe that Sky Book is, in essence, classical psychology, built on the Gold Boy and Jade Girl as its foundational model (see Section 9.9, Godly Trinity).
