Many of us lead family lives. At most, the members of a family stay together for the duration of a single lifetime, often much less. While that fleeting moment of being together still lasts, we should try to remain in perfect harmony with each other, while observing the Dharma as much as possible. Night and day, let us turn our minds toward goodness, love, and compassion. Doing a single prostration, saying a simple prayer, contemplating the nature of the mind for an instant are seeds that lead to enlightenment. To be united in this life as man and wife, parent and children, is the result of our past actions, of a shared karma. That is why we should at all costs avoid quarrelling and live in harmony.
我們當中有很多人是過著家庭的生活。對大部分人來說，和家庭成員相處的時間是一輩子，而往往則更少。儘管時光飛逝，但當我們仍在一起時，就應該努力和諧相處，並同時盡力依循佛法。無論日夜，讓我們的心轉向良善與慈悲。不管是只做一個大禮拜、只念一句簡短的願文、只在一剎那間禪觀自心的本性，這些都是邁向證悟的種子。在這一生中，我們能成為夫、妻和親、子，乃是過去共業的果報，因此我們應該不惜任何代價以避免爭執而融洽相處。
"All sentient beings are the same in wishing to be happy and not to suffer. The great difference between oneself and others is in numbers—there is only one of me, but countless others. So, my happiness and my suffering are completely insignificant compared to the happiness and suffering of infinite other beings. What truly matters is whether other beings are happy or suffering. This is the basis of bodhichitta. We should wish others to be happy rather than ourselves, and we should especially wish happiness for those whom we perceive as enemies and those who treat us badly. Otherwise, what is the use of compassion?"
「一切有情衆生都是相同的，因為我們都想要離苦得樂。自己與其他衆生最大的不同，就在於數量：自己只有一個，而其他衆生則有無數。因此，相對於其他無量衆生的樂與苦而言，自己的樂與苦完全無足輕重。真正重要的是：其他衆生是快樂，還是痛苦？這就是菩提心的基礎。我們應該希望其他衆生獲得快樂，而不是我們自己；尤其對於那些我們視爲敵人及惡意對待我們的人，更應該希望他們能獲得快樂。否則，慈悲又有何用？」
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth." Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
「如果你以信心和啟發來修持佛法，即使你每天只花一小時，功德仍將不斷增上。持之以恒的修持，能讓心更容易轉化。你將從只看見世俗諦（相對實相）開始，而最終達到對於勝義諦（絕對實相）的深切確信。」——怙主頂果欽哲仁波切開示
