Only a spontaneous feeling of
empathy with others can really inspire
us to act on their behalf. Nevertheless,
compassion does not arise
mechanically. Such a sincere feeling
must grow gradually, cultivated within
each individual, based on their own
conviction of its worth. Adopting a kind
attitude thus becomes a personal
matter. How each of us behave in daily
life is, after all, the real test of
compassion.
只有發自內心對別人產生的同情,
會真的激發我們以他們的立場採取行動.
然而, 慈悲心不會機械式的發生.
這種真誠的感覺需依循著每個人
賦予它的價值, 在自己心中培植,
才能慢慢的成長茁壯.
養成一種親切寬容的態度
就成為很個人的事情.
畢竟, 我們在日常生活中如何表現,
是慈悲心的真正考驗.
