Right from the moment of our birth,

we are under the care

and kindness of our parents

and then later on in our life

when we are oppressed by sickness

and become old,

we are again dependent

on the kindness of others.

Since at the beginning

and end of our lives

we are so dependent on

other’s kindness, how can it be

that in the middle

we neglect kindness towards others?

 

從出生的那一刻,

我們就被父母的關愛照顧著,

幾十年後被疾病纏身, 逐漸老去時,

我們也得依賴著別人的關照.

既然在生命的起始和生命的結尾

我們都如此倚賴著別人的關照,

我們又怎能在生命的過程中

忘了關照別人呢?
