翻譯了達賴喇嘛的這一段話,還是很有道理和啟發的。
翻譯:
人類擁有精妙的大腦,但如果缺少良善的平衡,而被憤怒和嫉妒占有,我們就變成了問題的製造者而丟失了喜樂與和平。戰爭,我認為隻存在於人類之中,非常的遺憾。科學家現在也證明持續的憤怒和仇恨會蠶食我們的免疫係統。憤怒在很大程度上來源於以自我為中心。有利他心的人往往有更多的幸福感。過於自我中心造成一種困難的境況,在這種境況下會害怕和焦慮,繼而產生憤怒。
我覺得教育應該將我們的內在平安包括在內。這種內在平安的獲得不是通過禱告,而是通過理解什麽情緒造成暴力、憤怒、嫉妒、焦慮和害怕。這些都和以自我為中心有關,“我、我、我”。僅僅向上帝禱告是不夠的,我們必須要有相應的知識。當憤怒來臨的時候,我們必須要知道如何通過理智來減少憤怒。如果我們能提高我們的同理心,憤怒的情緒就會自動地減弱。今天的現實是整個人類是一個共同體,我們應該開發我們的博愛之心而不是對抗。
原文:
This marvelous human brain, if not well balanced with warm heartedness, but combined with anger and jealous, then, instead of bringing happiness or peace, we really become the creator of problems. War, I think only exists among humanity. It’s quite pity. Now scientist also say, constant anger, hatred is actually eating our immune system. Anger is very much related to a self-centered altitude. People who have an altruistic altitude are much happier. Too much of a self-center altitude makes… The whole phenomenon appear as something difficult. Then fear, anxiety, creates anger.
I feel education should include our inner peace, not through prayer but through understanding which emotion creates violence, anger, jealousy, anxiety and fear. So, these are ultimately related to being self-centered. “I, I, I,…me, me, me”. Just praying to God is not sufficient. We must have knowledge. When anger comes, we must know how to use our intelligence to reduce the intense of anger. Karuna, if we increase our compassion, then anger will automatically reduce. Today’s reality is the entire humanity is one community, so instead of fighting, we should develop universal love.
