One of the things that meditation

teaches us, when we slowly descend

into ourselves, is that the sense of peace

already exists in us. We all have a deep

desire for it even if it’s often hidden,

masked, thwarted. If we examine

human nature carefully, it is good, well

disposed, helpful. And it seems to me

that nowadays the spirit of harmony is

increasing, that our desire to live

together calmly is growing stronger and

stronger; it’s more and more

widespread.

禪修教導我們的其中一件事情,

當我們緩緩的沉入自己時

所體會到的內在平靜其實一直存在著.

即使這個感受常常隱晦不明, 常被掩蓋, 阻隔著,

我們內心仍深深地渴望著.

如果我們周密地檢查人的本性,

就會發現人性是好的,

人性向善且樂於幫助別人.

在我看來, 這些日子,

和諧的精神正不斷地增高,

人們對於和平共處的渴望

日益增強; 也更為普遍了.
