如果你回顧佛陀的生平事蹟，很明顯，他可以擁有、並且也確實曾擁有他可以從俗世中渴望的所有東西。但透過觀察，他看到的是無論他所感受到或經歷過的，就算是多麼愉快或滿意，這些都是短暫的。佛陀看到情感的快樂，並非我們最終的目的，甚至追求這種經歷是不重要的。因此，他離開了那種生活方式，去尋找長久、永恆不變的的東西。這就是佛子們如法追隨佛陀的修行足印，一種能獲得永恆快樂的修行。
If you look at Buddha’s life story, it is clear that he could have had, and indeed he did have, everything he could wish for from worldly life. But after examining it, he could see that – no matter how pleasant or satisfactory a feeling or situation he was experiencing – these were all temporary. He saw that it was not the ultimate goal or priority to attain this type of experience, what we are calling Emotional Happiness. Therefore, he left that life in search of something that is lasting, something that is unchangeable. This is what students of Buddha’s way and path are practicing: the practice of Timeless Happiness.

我祈願及祝禱所有眾生能獲得永恆的快樂。我祈願我們能得澄明，了解到我們人與人之間的聯繫。我祈願我們能培養因緣條件去認識我們擁有的潛能、我們之間的聯繫例如家庭、朋友間的聯繫。我的祈願不只為情感上的快樂，也為了滋長我們這世界永恆的快樂。
I offer my aspirations and prayers that we all are able to achieve Timeless Happiness. I pray that we will all gain clarity, and that we will all find the conditions to appreciate the connection that we have. I pray that we cultivate the conditions to realise the potential that we have, the bond that we all share such as the bond of family, the bond of friends. And I pray that this will grow not just Emotional Happiness, but Timeless Happiness in our world.

人生最寶貴的東西

人心，菩提心，是所有東西中最寶貴的。雖然諸佛對我們的人生很有幫助，然而慈悲心比一尊佛更珍貴。我們在人心看見無限的希望。

#Karmapa On The Most Precious Thing in Life

The human heart, Bodhicitta, is the most precious of all. While Buddhas are helpful in life, the compassionate heart is even more precious than a Buddha. In the human heart, we see limitless hope.

為什麼沒有不帶苦的樂

痛苦與快樂就如光明和黑暗-又如錢幣的一體兩面。它們是相互依存且不可分割。當我們繪畫或攝影時，如果沒有光和暗，便不能顯示出相片或圖像來。是光和暗的對比帶出美麗的色彩。

噶瑪巴

#Karmapa On Why There is No Joy Without Pain

Pain and joy are – like light and darkness – two sides of the same medal. They are interdependent and inseparably connected to each other. When painting a picture or taking a photograph, if there is no light and no darkness, there is no picture and there is no painting. It is the very contrast of light and darkness that brings out the beauty and the colour.

我們的聯繫

在佛教中有一個非常有趣的西藏詞語叫“tendrel”，它的意思是「緣起相互依存」，意指世間萬物現象緣起於相互依存的關係。我們所有人都在很多方面聯繫著。我們每個人都有和平的種子在心裡面，好讓我們一起培養慈愛。

#Karmapa on the Connections that Bind Us

There is a very interesting Tibetan term in Buddhism called ‘tendrel’, which means something like ‘interdependent origination’, signifying that phenomena originate due to interdependent connection. We are all connected in many, many ways. We each have these seeds of peace within us, and together we can cultivate loving kindness.
