怎樣對批評作反應

有些情况，別人的批評是有建設性的，在這種情况，勇敢和有勇氣精神的人會在批評中看見優點和欣然採納它們。只有聰明的人才會歡迎接受批評。但是當我們被非建設性地批評時，我們應該想像這些説話僅僅只是迴聲，没有別的。

#Karmapa on How To Respond To Criticism

In some cases, it may be that others’ criticisms are constructive, in which case the brave and courageous mind will see merits in these criticisms and embrace them. Only a wise mind can embrace criticism. However, when we are criticised in an unconstructive way, we should think of such words as mere echoes, and nothing more.

從别人看自己

當我們看別人的時侯，就好像看見自己的反映一様。如果一開始我們被自己的煩惱情緒和業力所困，當我們看其他人的時侯，我們也應該看見這些煩惱情緒和負面業力的反映。但是如果我們專注於自性本自清淨、覺悟的本性的話，這様去看別人，我們便會看見完全一様的東西。
剛開始時，我們反觀一些在生命裏経歷過非常簡單的例子有關仁愛及慈悲的，跟著我們便可以問自己這些仁愛及慈悲是否存在於所有人。久而久之，如果我們真的努力地去思維，我們便會發現是的，每個人都擁有這些潛能- 不論我們從那裏來、做什麼、或是怎様成長。如是思維，都會成為願力的重要泉源。

#Karmapa on Seeing Ourselves in Others

When we look at each other, it is very much like seeing the reflection of ourselves. If at first we are caught by our afflictive emotions and karma then, when we look at each other, we might see the reflection of those afflictive emotions and negative karmas. But if we concentrate on our pure nature, on our enlightened nature, and then look at each other, then we will see exactly that.

At first, we reflect on very simple examples of kindness and compassion that we have experienced in this life. Then we can ask ourselves whether such kindness and compassion exists in all of us. Over time, if we really think hard, then we will discover that yes, everyone shares this very potential – regardless of where we come from, what we do, or our upbringing. In this way, it becomes a great source of inspiration.
