依佛菩薩之修行路 / 我們是有力量和選擇在菩薩道上修行

4月29日

依佛菩薩之修行路,是有方法和途徑讓我們專注於積累和致力於無限、無量、幾乎是無窮的利益。沒有別的,就是運用我們的「Changchub sem” (藏語), 或「菩提心」(梵語),英文譯作「覺悟的心」或「發菩提心達致覺悟境界」。

噶瑪巴

According to the ways of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there is a method or a way where we can focus on accumulations and dedicate them, aiming them towards something that is timeless, towards something that is immeasurable, towards something that is almost unlimited in terms of its benefit. And that method would be none other than using or directing our mind towards what is known as ‘changchub sem’ in Tibetan or ‘bodhicitta’ in Sanskrit, the English translation of which is ‘enlightened mind’, or the generating of our own mind towards enlightened phenomena.

我們是有力量和選擇在菩薩道上修行。我們無法控制世間上所有衝突,但我們可以控制自己對此之反應。我們可以確保自己不會造成更多傷害,不會引起更多困擾。反之,我們可以透過不執著、保持思想平靜、和進入我們內心慈悲與智慧的永恆大海,為和平而準備。因為在這個大海、這個內在的財富,便是和平的泉源。

噶瑪巴

We have the power and choice to journey on the path of a Bodhisattva. We can not control all of the conflict in our world, but we can control our response to it. We can help ensure that we do not create more harm, we do not cause more commotion, but instead prepare for peace by letting go of grasping, by keeping the mind calm and tapping into the eternal pool of compassion and wisdom that lies within all of us. For it is within this pool, this Inner Wealth, that lies the source of peace.
