金钱和戒律
1.
我们必须试着探究,
要如何将这个令人难堪且效用
强大的日用品(金钱)
视为自己不可乎略的一部分。
We must try to discover
how to view this embarrassing
and potent commodity (money)
as a part of ourselves
that we cannot ignore.
2.
若能合宜地对待金钱,
它便不再仅仅是作为交易
或带有抽象能量的代币。
When we relate to money
properly, it is no longer a mere
token of exchange or
of abstract energy.
3.
它也是一种戒律。
It is also a discipline.
(总言之)
当我们不再像是把药品变成毒品
那般地上钩时,便可用一种
如大师善用的工具那样
务实且入世的方式来处理金钱。
No longer hooked by
it as a medicine that has
become a drug, we can deal
with it in a practical,
earthly way as a master deals
with his tools.
