如果有人對快樂產生絲毫的執著,他將無法達到心靈層次更高的快樂。
在輪迴中眾生主要遭受貪、瞋、痴、慢、妒等煩惱染污的影響,只要有煩惱的地方,無論是誰,只要是受此五毒所左右,就自然的會在輪迴中次次投胎,永無止境!
雖然輪迴是沒有實義的,可是卻也是沒有邊際的!
摘自依怙主貝諾仁波切
"In order to be able to practice Dharma, it may happen that you have to endure illness, or suffer from heat, cold, hunger or thirst. But since these short-term sufferings will help you purify your past negative actions and, in the long term, to reach ultimate buddhahood, accept them with joy, like a swan gliding into a lotus pond!" Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
「為了修持佛法,你有可能得要忍受疾病、遭受寒熱或饑渴之苦。不過,既然這些短暫的痛苦能幫助你清淨過去所造的惡業,從長遠的觀點來說,則能達至究竟佛果,那麼,就像天鵝滑向蓮花池 般的喜悅接受所有痛苦吧!」
"Indeed, adversaries and people who try to harm you can be powerful sources of help on the bodhisattva path. By bringing about situations which would normally trigger your anger or hatred, they give you the precious opportunity to train in transforming those negative emotions with patience. On the path, such people will do you far more good than any well-disposed friend." Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
「其實,逆境和那些想要傷害你的人,可以成為你在菩薩道上的強大助力。他們藉著讓你面對通常會引發你生氣或瞋恨的情況,而給你以忍辱來轉化這些煩惱的珍貴學習機會。 於修道上,比起任何待人親切的朋友來說,這類人們能給你的好處大多了。」
