If there is love, there is hope to have
real families, real brotherhood, real
equanimity, real peace. If the love
within your mind is lost, if you continue
to see other beings as enemies, then no
matter how much knowledge or
education you have, no matter how
much material progress is made, only
suffering and confusion will ensue.
Human beings will continue to deceive
and overpower one another. Basically,
everyone exists in the very nature of
suffering, so to abuse or mistreat each
other is futile. The foundation of all
spiritual practice is love. That you
practice this well is
my only request.
只要有愛,
就有希望擁有真正的家人,
真正的手足之情,
真正的平靜, 真正的安祥.
如果喪失了心中的愛,
如果在你眼中其他人都是敵人,
則無論你的見聞多麼廣闊, 學識多麼高超,
也不論你能擁有多麼奢華先進的物質享受,
接踵而來的還是痛苦與困惑.
人類仍會不斷的欺騙與征服彼此.
基本上, 每個人存在的本質是苦,
所以虐待, 損毀彼此也毫無意義.
所有性靈修習的基礎就是愛.
我對每個人唯一的要求,
就是好好的練習愛.
