Since we have a natural compassion

in us, and that compassion has to

manifest itself, it might be good to

awaken it. Violence done to an

innocent person, for example, can

make us indignant, scandalize us, and

in so doing help us to discover

our compassion. By its very violence

television might keep us in a state of

alert. However, it is very dangerous if

violence leads to indifference. Thus, a

central point of our teaching is: how to

reach non-attachment without falling

into indifference.

既然每個人生來就具有慈悲心,

而慈悲心也必須自然流露,

把它喚醒應該是好的.

例如當暴力傷害了一個無辜的人時,

會讓我們憤怒, 讓我們震驚,

就幫助我們發現了自己的慈悲心.

暴力充斥電視節目, 也可以讓我們保持警戒的狀態.

但若過多的暴力而讓我們麻木冷漠就非常危險了.

因此, 我們教導的核心點是:

如何做到不牽掛卻不落入冷漠.
