第三辑 为人处世 Volume 3: Dealing with People
当我们对自己足够诚实的时候,就会发现,我们在跟人接触、交往或者一起做事的时候,总是有一些自私自利的动机的——想得到一些利益和好处啊,或者为以后做些打算之类。
When we are honest enough with ourselves, we will realize that when we interact, socialize, or collaborate with others, there are always some selfish motives at play — wanting to gain some benefits or advantages, or making plans for the future, and so on.
这其实都是一种索取的心态。那我们现在要改过来,我们接触任何人的时候,不要想从他身上得到什么,获取什么,也不要想跟他攀缘,我们就只想利益他。
This is actually a mindset of taking. So, now we need to change it. When we engage with anyone, we shouldn't think about what we can get from them or what we can gain. We shouldn't even think about establishing a connection with them. Instead, our sole focus should be on benefiting them.
如果有人能够通过跟我们的交谈和接触,也开始学习改变自己,这就够了。
If someone can start learning to change themselves through our conversations and interactions, that's enough.
也许他会从向外追求变成向内自省,从贪婪索取变成知足和付出,乃至开始寻求生命的真义——我们为他们高兴,但同时对他们也没有任何的希求和期待。
Perhaps they will transition from seeking outwardly to introspection, from greed and taking to contentment and giving, and even begin searching for the true meaning of life – we are happy for them, but at the same time, we have no wishes or expectations from them.
真正具足正能量的人,就是这样一种心态,自然满足而自在,没有牵挂。要做到这种自在和无求,更重要的是学习觉悟者传承下来的智慧,只有这种智慧,才能创造出正确的内心环境。
Those who truly possess positive energy have such a mindset – naturally content and at ease, free from worries. To achieve this sense of ease and non-attachment, it is crucial to learn the wisdom passed down by the awakened ones. Only this wisdom can create the right inner environment.
