親愛的朋友們,請放鬆您的身體,調整您的呼吸。
Dear friends, please relax your body and regulate your breath.
今天,我們將一同靜心探索,名為「貪欲」的課題。
Today, we will quietly explore together, the topic known as "Greed."
有所希求,從正面的動機來看,是帶動社會進步及個人成長的主要原因。
Having desires, when viewed from a positive motivation, is a primary reason for driving both social progress and personal growth.
但動機若是負面的、自私的,那麼結果是相反的。
But if the motivation is negative, or selfish, then the outcome is the opposite.
這種貪欲看似平常,卻是一切眾生輪迴生死的,最先決條件。
This form of greed, seemingly ordinary, is nonetheless the most fundamental prerequisite for all beings to cycle through birth and death.
想要減輕自私的貪慾,可由念頭與習慣兩方面改善。
To alleviate selfish greed, improvement can be made from two aspects: our thoughts and our habits.
在平常中,經常能將自己喜歡的物品,布施給需要的人,
In daily life, consistently offering items you cherish to those in need,
分享自己所快樂的事,給予身邊的人,
sharing your joys with those around you,
隨喜讚嘆他人,協助他人,
rejoicing in and praising others, and assisting them—
這樣可以改善自私的習慣。
This can effectively improve selfish habits.
在念頭上,時常滿足現狀,保持正念,
Regarding our thoughts, always be content with the present situation, maintaining right mindfulness,
清楚的覺知事物的成、住、壞、空,
clearly discerning the formation, dwelling, change, and dissolution of all phenomena,
一切畢竟空寂,不為所動。
understanding that all is ultimately empty and still, leaving you undisturbed.
從這兩方面改善,可以有效減少貪欲。
By improving these two aspects, greed can be effectively reduced.
在此,我們衷心感恩您。
Here, we sincerely express our gratitude to you.
願您的內心充滿平和,一切幸福與圓滿。
May your heart be filled with peace, and may all be happy and complete.
