When other insult, rebuke and speak
unpleasant words to us, although an
intolerable pain arises like a thorn at
the heart, if we comprehend the
teachings then we can recognize the
essenceless nature of these words which
resemble an echo. So, just as when an
inanimate object is scolded, we will
experience not the slightest
mental turmoil.
當他人侮辱, 斥責我們或
對我們說些讓人不悅的話語時,
即使猶如芒刺在心帶來難忍的痛,
但若我們能謹記教誨, 就能認出
這些字句如回音般無意義的本質.
所以, 如同一個沒有生命的物件被叱責,
我們可以體驗到心靈不受任何輕微擾動的狀態.
