苦与乐 Suffering and Happiness
我们内心里的痛苦怎么来的？它也是过去业因的等流，就是过去恶业之因的这种因等流下来，所以这个时候触到外缘就产生痛苦；过去的善因，遇到好的外缘产生快乐。你产生快乐的时候又会去利人，同时又种下善因。你痛苦的时候是因为过去恶业的等流，那么你去害人损人的时候，又种下了恶因， 又形成了恶业。快乐跟痛苦的产生，结果就是因果，不会是无缘无故的。How does our inner suffering come? If one created bad karma in the past, one still carries the habitual energy of its cause. Then when it encounters external conditions, one feels pain. If it is the positive cause that meets good outer conditions, happiness comes. You do good to others when you are happy, which in turn plants a good seed. You suffer because of the habitual energy of past bad karma, and when you harm others in suffering, bad seed and bad karma again are created. Happiness and suffering are effects, not without causes.
在日常生活当中，人随时随处总是希望事物符合自己的想法，不符合自己的想法就不对、就有问题，这是不对的。我们自己的想法是非常狭隘的、非常零碎的、不系统的，甚至都是自己生命的盲点。我们会认为，这点是对的，最后就执取在这一点上，这一点恰恰就成了我们自己的执著，很坚强的内在的执著，就过不去。In daily life, anywhere, anytime, people always wish things would meet their expectations. Anything not in line with their ideas, becomes wrong or problematic in their eyes. But this is not right, because our thinking is very narrow, fragmented, and unsystematic, and it could even be our blind spot. As we hold some aspect right, we tend to hold fast, gripping our opinion so firm that we can’t let go of it.
在现实世界当中，如果你去挑剔，没有任何一样东西值得挑剔，因为现实世界的一切都是有为法，都是生灭法，都是无常法，都是会变化的。今天这样，明天那样，后天又是一个形象，又是一个境界。外在的境界不可能不变化，我们只有拥有一颗更加宽容广大的心、柔软的心、清净的心、没有疲倦的心、没有懈怠的心，才有办法来处理这些纷繁复杂的境界。
Nothing is worth finding fault with in the real world. Because in reality, everything is conditioned. Things are phenomena that come into existence and then extinction. All things are impermanent. Everything changes. What is today, will be different tomorrow, and continue to change in the day after tomorrow. It is impossible for the external world not to change. To face the complicated external situations, we will have to have a mind which is more inclusive, broad, tender, pure, untiring, and knowing no laziness.
