永恆的喜悅

永恆的喜悅來自我們對固有本質的認知，例如慈悲與仁愛，和瞭解自我本性。當我們觀照這種喜悅的本質時，我們會發現一種永恆不變的東西-因此，這是值得我們追求的。

Timeless Happiness is gained from understanding our own inherent qualities, such as compassion and loving kindness, and gaining wisdom about our true nature. When we reflect on the nature of this type of happiness, we find something unchanging, permanent – and therefore worthwhile to seek.

內在財富

從佛教徒的角度，我們對財富的種類有更廣義的觀點。除了物質上，更有內在的財富。內在財富是永恆的，這和物質財富相反。內在財富是我們固有的無盡慈悲、智慧和其它非物質價值。

所有這些特質就在我們面前，都是我們具足的，只是我們不習慣去運用內在財富，很容易便往外追求。我們失去平衡、感覺不完整，部分原因是我們看待自己的財富和成功只著眼於本質是有限、會耗盡的東西。當我們瞭解和體驗到自己內在財富時，我們便能夠和物質上的財富取得平衡而再次感到完整。

#Karmapa on Inner Wealth:

From a Buddhist perspective, we have a broader view of the types of wealth that exist. There is Material Wealth, but there is also Inner Wealth. Inner Wealth is timeless, and in this sense it is the opposite of Material Wealth. Inner Wealth is the rich pool of compassion, wisdom and other non-material values that lies within us.

All of these values are in front of us, within us, but because we lack the experience of drawing upon Inner Wealth, we tend to look to the outside too easily. We lack balance, we do not feel whole, partly because we are considering our wealth and success solely in terms that are by their nature limited and exhausting. When we have an understanding and experience of Inner Wealth, we are able to strike a balance with Material Wealth and feel whole again.

如何找到平衡

我們必須找到一個平衡。真正的平衡是接受變化就是變化。我們可能會極端地認為「事情並非這樣」或認為「還有更多的東西」。其實兩種思維都偏離了真理。事實是，變化即變化，無常即無常，如此簡單而已。

How to find balance

We have to find a balance. The real balance is accepting change as change. The extremes we could fall into are thinking that ‘this is not it’ or thinking ‘there is something more’. Thinking either way deviates us from the truth. The truth is that change is change, impermanence is impermanence. It really is that simple.

不陌生的內在財富

內在財富對你不是一件陌生的東西，從出生那一刻開始、從你跟父母、監護人或朋友間的關係裏，慈悲和智慧的體驗都一直存在著，它們都是你從這些關係裡最初感受到的東西。如果沒有慈悲與智慧，便沒有生命力。沒有愛你便不能活下去。所以，內在的財富是人類的基本需求，尤如空氣、食物、水和居所一樣。

13 March

Inner Wealth is not something foreign to you – from the moment of birth, the experience of compassion and wisdom has always been there, from the very first moments in your life, in your relationships with parents, guardians or friends – these are the first things that you faced. If there is no compassion and wisdom, there is no life. You cannot survive without love. In this way, Inner Wealth is a basic human need, just like air, food, water and shelter.
