Great compassion and wisdom are the
chief qualities of the Buddha. Even in
worldly terms, the more intelligent and
knowledgeable a person is, the more the
person commands respect. Similarly,
the more compassionate, kind and
gentle a person, the more he or she
should be respected. So if you are able
to develop that intelligence and
altruism to their fullest extent,
then you are truly admirable and
deserve to be respected.
極大的慈悲和智慧是佛陀重要的特質.
即使在世間的價值觀裡,
那聰明有知識的人, 也更容易贏得尊敬.
同樣的, 愈為慈悲, 體貼且溫和的人,
也愈應被尊敬. 所以只要你能
將智慧與利他主義發展到極致,
就讓人欽賞, 也真正值得被尊崇.
