Now I am always quite cheerful! It is,

I think, the result of my own practice

and training. In my lifetime, I have

lost my country and have been reduced

to being totally dependent on the

goodwill of others. I have also lost my

mother, and most of my tutors and

gurus have passed away, although I now

have a few new gurus. Of course these

are tragic incidents, and I feel sad when

I think about them. However, I don’t

feel overwhelmed by sadness. Old,

familiar faces disappear, and new faces

appear, but I still maintain my

happiness and peace of mind.

現在的我時時都是快樂的!

這應該是修持與訓練的成果.

這輩子,我失去了我的家園,

必須仰仗善心人士的幫助才得以生存.

我失去了母親,

我的老師和上師們多半已往生,

雖然現在我有幾位新的上師.

想到這種種的不幸我也會難過.

然而, 我沒有被悲傷淹沒.

熟悉的老面孔消失了, 新面孔出現,

我仍保持我的快樂與心平氣和.
