歡迎來到今天的引導,我們將探索生命中的孤獨感。
Welcome to today's guidance,where we will explore the feeling of loneliness in life.
生命中的孤單寂寞。
Loneliness and solitude in life.
有一次在夏季的深夜,我獨自一人來到寺旁的叢林,選擇在小溪中的石頭上禪坐。
Once,late at night in summer,I came alone to the jungle beside the temple,choosing to meditate on a stone in a small stream.
剛開始覺得很好,坐一段時間,比較安靜之後,就開始擔心河水可能暴漲。
At first,it felt good.After sitting for a while,and becoming quieter, I began to worry that the river might flood.
草叢出現蛇啊,或是什麼動物,還是樹枝掉落下來。
That snakes or other animals might appear in the bushes,or that branches might fall.
每樣的風吹草動都讓內心分散而無法安定。
Every rustle and movement made my mind distracted and unable to settle.
在這個時候我就去觀照瞭解,每樣事物的特性跟本質。
At that moment,I observed and understood the characteristics and essence of everything.
都是地、水、火、風四大因緣所組合而成,而無實際不變的形體。
They are all composed of the four great elements–earth,water,fire, and wind – without any actual,unchanging form.
那我的身體何嘗不是,也都都是地、水、火、風四大所組成。
And my body is no different;it too is composed of these four great elements.
既然是一體的,就不必分別。
Since everything is one,there's no need to differentiate.
而可以繼續安定的坐下去。
And I could continue to sit peacefully.
其實想一想,我們這個人的身體必須依賴食物而長成。
In fact, if we think about it,our human body must rely on food to grow.
食物是社會努力的經濟成果。
And food is the economic result of societal effort.
那我們的思想,又是整個歷史文化的組合體。
And our thoughts are a composite of the entire historical culture.
我們的生命,早就已經遍滿了整個世界。
Our lives have long since permeated the entire world.
因此不用感到孤獨。
Therefore,there's no need to feel lonely.
只要你的心純正,你就永遠離不開清淨的世界。
As long as your heart is pure,you will never be separated from a pure world.
當然也離不開善良的人們。
Nor will you be separated from kind people.
在此感恩您,祈願您一切,幸福與圓滿!
Here,I offer my gratitude to you,wishing you all happiness and completeness!
