【不离】法王如意宝:千奇百怪的痛苦和快乐,到底从哪里来的?

索达吉堪布 国际佛学网 2023-03-02

我们经常“自讨苦吃”

We Often Ask for Our Own Bitter Pills


生而为人,应该追寻心灵之道。

Because we have been born as human beings, we should pursue a spiritual path.

 

若非如此,则浪费了宝贵的人身。

If we do not, we will have squandered this precious human body.

 

如同已抵达遍满黄金的宝洲,却没有拿任何财宝而双手空空返回,

That would be like arriving at a treasure island brimming with gold but leaving empty-handed without taking any treasure.

 

这是多么可惜!

What a pitiful waste that would be!

佛法的殊胜教言,就如天人的甘露能治愈一切病苦一样,

The sublime teaching of Buddhadharma is like a divine nectar that heals all ills.

 

有缘者听受并付诸实践后,可以清净自己的贪嗔痴烦恼。

When those who have the propensity listen to it and put it into practice, they can purify their afflictions of craving, anger, and delusion.

 

我们每个人业感不同,故从中幻化的苦乐有天壤之别。

Each person experiences different phenomena as the result of past karma, and thus the suffering and happiness that arise from our individual karma are also as far apart as heaven and earth.

 

哪怕是一家三口,整天在一起同吃同住,感受也不尽相同——

Even among a family of three who live in the same house and always eat together, each person’s experiences will be markedly different:

 

一个人晚上做梦吉祥,身体也安康,

one might have auspicious dreams at night and enjoy good health,

 

而另一个人却可能噩梦连连,身体不适,心情糟糕得一塌糊涂。

while another might suffer from endless nightmares, physical discomfort, and mental unease.



所以,不管是谁,哪怕关系再亲密,都不可能是同一个感受。

No matter who they are or how intimately they are related, no two people can possibly share the same experience.

 

那么,这些千奇百怪的痛苦和快乐,到底是从哪里来的呢?

Where do these myriad and strange experiences of suffering and happiness ultimately come from?

 

它并不是外境招致的,而是源于我们的心。

They are not caused by external objects; they originate from our mind.

 

如果我们心中充满慈悲和信心,今生一定会安乐;

If our mind is filled with compassion and confidence, then we are sure to be happy and peaceful in this life.

 

而若以无漏的智慧摄持,还将达到圆满究竟的解脱。

If we also imbue our mind with immaculate wisdom, we will even attain perfect ultimate liberation.



但假如经常生起恶念而造业,

But if we often generate unwholesome thoughts and create negative karma,

 

那么等待自己的,无疑就只有狰狞的恶趣、难忍的苦痛。

then what undoubtedly await us are the ferocious lower realms and intolerable pain and suffering.

 

释迦牟尼佛在佛经中也指出:“心为一切诸法之源,故名为普作王。”

Shakyamuni Buddha also pointed out in the sutras, “Mind is the source of all phenomena. Thus it is called the all-creating king.”

 

为什么称为“普作”呢?

Why is it said to be “all-creating”?

 

因为心既能作清净的涅槃,也能作不清净的轮回。

It is because the mind can create pure nirvana, and it can also create impure samsara.


就是说,轮回中的一切,是不清净心的显现;

That is to say, all phenomena in samsara are manifestations of the impure mind;

 

涅槃和智慧,是清净心的显现。

nirvana and wisdom are manifestations of the pure mind.



若详加观察,我们会发现,外境中根本找不到真正实有的事物,

If we observe further, we will discover that we cannot find anything substantial in external objects.

 

所以,清净和不清净的根本,唯一就是自己的心。

Thus, the sole root of purity and impurity is our own mind.

 

既然心能显现轮回、涅槃等一切法,

Since the mind can manifest all phenomena within samsara and nirvana,

 

那么,若将自己的心转到善法方面,安乐将会指日可待;

then if we turn our mind toward the virtuous Dharma, peace and happiness are within sight.

 

假如不能调伏自心,经常在烦恼的推动下为非作歹,未来也必定是自讨“苦”吃。

If we cannot tame our mind, and often commit unwholesome and harmful deeds under the power of the afflictions, then we are surely asking for our own bitter pills in the future.
