Some people might ask, if everything

is an illusion, what is the use of getting

rid of illusory suffering with an antidote

that is itself illusory? The answer is

that illusory suffering is the result of

causes and conditions that are also

illusory. Even though pain is illusory,

we still suffer from it, and we certainly

do not want it. The same is true of

happiness. It is an illusion, but it is still

something we want. Thus, illusory

antidotes are used to get rid of

illusory sufferings, just like a

magician uses one magical illusion

to counteract another.

有人可能會問¸ 如果每件事物

都是一種幻覺, 用一個本身也是

虛幻的反制劑來解除虛幻的苦痛

又有何用? 答案是虛幻的苦痛

源於虛幻的原因和情況.

縱然痛苦是虛幻的,

我們仍然為之所苦,

也確實不想要它.

對於快樂亦是如此.

快樂是幻覺, 我們仍希望擁有.

所以, 虛幻的反制方法

被用來除去虛幻的苦痛,

猶如魔術師用一個神奇的幻術

來抵消另一個.
