If one’s life is simple,

contentment has to come.

Simplicity is extremely important

for happiness. Having few desires,

feeling satisfied with what you have,

is very vital: satisfaction with just

enough food, clothing, shelter

to protect yourself from the

elements. And finally, there is an

intense delight in abandoning

faulty states of mind and in

cultivating helpful ones

in meditation.

只要一個人的生活簡單,就必定能得到滿足.

儉樸對快樂非常重要.

減少慾望, 一定要對自己所擁有的感到豐足:

滿意於擁有足夠的食物, 衣服, 遮風蔽雨之處.

只要能拋棄偏頗缺憾的心態,

並以禪修來培養正向有助益的心境,

就會帶來強大有力的愉悅感.
