  Never give up
  No matter what is going on
  Never give up
  Develop the heart
  Too much energy in your country is spent
  Developing the mind instead of the heart.
  Be compassionate not just to your friends but to everyone
  Be compassionate.
  Work for peace in your heart and in the world.
  Work for peace and I say again
  Never give up.
  No matter what is happening,
  No matter what is going on around you,
  Never give up.
  
  ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama

  I am now seventy-eight years old, and have seen so many, many things during my lifetime.

   

  So many young people have died, so many people of my own age have died, so many old people have died.  So many people that were high up have become low, So many people were low have risen to be high up.  So many countries have changed.  There has been so much turmoil and tragedy, so many wars, and plagues, so much terrible destruction all over the world.

   

  And yet all these changes are no more real than a dream.  When you look deeply, you realize there is nothing that is permanent and constant, nothing, not even the tiniest hair on your body.  And this is not a theory, but something you can actually come to know and realize and see, even, with your very own eyes.

  In his very first teaching, Buddha explained that the root cause of suffering is ignorance.  But where exactly is this ignorance? And how does it display itself?  Let's take an everyday example.  Think about those people -- we all know some -- who are gifted with a remarkably powerful and sophisticated intelligence.  Isn't it puzzling how, instead of helping them, as you might expect, it seems only to make them suffer more?  It is almost as if their brilliance is directly responsible for their pain.

   

  What is happening is quite clear:  This intelligence of ours is captured and held hostage by ignorance, which then makes use of it freely for its own ends.  This is how we can be extraordinarily intelligent and yet absolutely wrong, at one and the same time.

  Buddha sat in serene and humble dignity on the ground, with the sky above him and around him, as if to show us that in meditation you sit with open, sky-like attitude of mind, yet remain present, earthed and grounded.  The sky is our absolute nature, which has no barriers and is boundless, and the ground is our reality, our relative, ordinary condition.

   

  The posture we take when we meditate signifies that we are linking absolute and relative, sky and ground, heaven and earth, like two wings of a bird, integrating the sky-like deathless nature of mind and the ground of our transient, mortal nature.

  如何寻求真�

  在佛陀的时代，有一天他æ�¥åˆ°ä¸€ä¸ªå�«å�¡å�—玛(Kalama)çš„æ�‘庄。这儿è�šé›†äº†å¾ˆå¤šå½“æ—¶å�°åº¦æœ€è�ªæ˜Žå�Šæœ€æœ‰æ™ºæ…§çš„人。他们结伴去请教佛陀。“我们怎么能知é�“您教导的是正确的é�“ç�†ï¼Ÿæ‰€æœ‰ç�µæ€§çš„导师(当时å�°åº¦æœ‰è¶…过六å��多ç§�å®—æ•™)都宣称自己所教的是正法而å�¦å®šå…¶ä»–人的教导。”

  佛陀脸带微笑温和地答�：

  
  〖一〗��因为你在很久以�曾�过�些��就轻易相信它。
  〖二〗��因为�些传统�传了几个世代，就盲目跟�它。
  〖三〗��急�去�信谣言。
  〖四〗��因为�些��与�文的内容相符就轻易确定它。
  〖五〗��愚蠢地作出�设。
  〖六〗��根�自己的�闻，轻易去下判断。
  〖七〗��被外在的表相所迷惑。
  〖八〗��因为任何观点或��与自己的看法相应而产生执著。
  〖�〗��因为自己认为符�逻辑就接�并认定�些事是事实。
  〖�〗��出于对精神导师的尊敬或精神导师的介入就欣然接�任何说法。

   

  你应该超越个人的�解与信念。如果你在接��修�并实践�些��之时，引�出更强烈的嗔心(排斥)�贪念(欲望)�无明(愚痴)，那么你尽�以�直气壮地拒�这些��。�凭信念或�解并�能让你拔除贪�嗔�痴等烦�。你�记�贪婪�嗔��无明普�上为人所�议。它们对人毫无益处，应该远离。�之，你�以接�任何在修�之�能产生无�件的爱�感�知足�无上的智慧。

   

  这些应是你分辨正法与�正法的标注，也让你认清什么是�性上的修�。

   

  �闻佛陀的开示之�，此��的居民都法喜充满,敞开心胸，放下我执，�佛陀请法并�闻教诲，然�全心全�的接�佛所开示的教法。

  "It is said in the Great Perfection teachings that one cannot become enlightened through a contrived mind; rather, the basic mind is to be identified, in relation to which all phenomena are to be understood as the sport of the mind. One then familiarises oneself continuously and one-pointedly with this ascertainment."

  On Judgmental People:
  People with opinions just go around bothering each other.
  
  On Work:
  To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
  

  On Gratitude:
  Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

  我怀疑，在感觉没有完全体验生命的懊悔中，我们平日耗去了许多次轮回。我们总认为，如果�新�过，我们一定会�一样，会更努力活在�件事的当下。而明天，就是对这件事最快的验�：如果我们无法在明天�得�一样，我们就无法在�一次轮回有所��。

  在现今的世界里，
  有很多人都为了满足自己对物质上的渴求，�惜花尽一生的时间追�这个慾念走。

   

  这是兽心：�有我，�有我。「我�管他人的感�。�

  如狗�会在乎猫的处境，而蛇亦�会�会雀鸟的境况。

   

  现在有大多数人都是用如此的心�活�。
