? 慈悲的本质
超越了头脑制造的二元对立,你变得像深深的湖泊。你生活中的外在情境,无论那里发生什么,都只是湖泊的表面。有时平静,有时波澜起伏,随着周期和四季变化。而在那深处,湖泊总是不被打扰。你是整个湖泊,不只是湖面,你与内在深处连接着,那里总是保持着绝对的寂静。
? THE NATURE OF COMPASSION
HAVING GONE BEYOND THE MIND-MADE OPPOSITES, you become like a deep lake. The outer situation of your life, whatever happens there, is the surface of the lake. Sometimes calm, sometimes windy and rough, according to the cycles and seasons. Deep down, however, the lake is always undisturbed. You are the whole lake, not just the surface, and you are in touch with your own depth, which remains absolutely still.
You don't resist change by mentally clinging to any situation. Your inner peace does not depend on it. You abide in Being — unchanging, timeless, deathless — and you are no longer dependent for fulfillment or happiness on the outer world of constantly fluctuating forms. You can enjoy them, play with them, create new forms, appreciate the beauty of it all. But there will be no need to attach yourself to any of it.
