貧乏與富足 / 修持

karmapa-fb20091620 September

貧乏與富足

被焦慮或迷亂所困擾(梵文:苦),心識不了知其本質,就是處於貧乏的境况。心識擁有克服焦慮或困惑的潛能-即’本質’。絕對的富足是當焦慮或迷惑的因(業力與煩惱)止息的狀態。

#Karmapa on Poverty and Prosperity

A mind disturbed by the anxiety or confusion (Sanskrit: dukkha) of not realising its true nature is in a state of poverty. The mind possesses the potential to overcome anxiety or confusion – hence ‘true nature.’ Absolute prosperity is the state of cessation of the causes of anxiety or confusion (karma and klesha).

21 September

你們不需要太多的修持法門,不管他們聽來是多麼的漂亮,正面。就像我們吃東西一樣 – 我們只可以在一個時間吃一口,不多於此。所以,我們需要專注地修持一種法門。通過不斷地、行常地修持某一種法,就好像保持均衡飲食一樣,這就會變得有意義,有助於減少焦慮、緊張、並幫助我們活出非常精彩的21世紀。

Karmapa on Practicing

You don’t have to have too many sets of practices, no matter how brilliant and how positive they sound. They are a bit like when we eat food – we can eat only one mouthful at a time, not more than that. Therefore, we also have to mindfully apply one practice at a time. By doing this constantly at a good rate, just like maintaining a balanced diet, it becomes meaningful, it helps to reduce anxiety, stress, and helps us to live a very exciting 21st century life.
