第六辑 灌注正能量 Volume 6: Infusing Positive Energy
我们用心观察这个世界。我们知道，每个平凡的人都是爱自己胜过爱别人。但是，那些活在人间的菩萨，还有那些来到人间的神的使者，他们慈心无量，爱世人胜过爱自己。
Now observe the world with your heart. We know that every ordinary person loves himself more than others. However, the Bodhisattvas and God's messengers who come to the world have boundless loving-kindness. They love others more than themselves.
我们要向他们学习，修习慈无量心。
修习慈无量心，要先对自己慈悲。
We should learn from them and cultivate boundless loving-kindness.
To cultivate boundless loving-kindness, we must first love ourselves.
对自己慈悲不是我爱心，我爱心让自己变得自私，就会不顾别人的感受，不顾别人的利益，甚至不顾别人的生命，伤害别人，就会损人利己。
This is not self-love. Self-love makes one selfish, causing one to ignore others' feelings and benefits, and even ignore others' lives, harming others in order to benefit oneself.
对自己慈悲是一种智慧，
对自己宽容是一种境界，
因为对自己苛刻，对别人也会苛刻，
对自己慈悲，对别人也会慈悲。
Loving ourselves is a kind of wisdom.
Accepting ourselves is a state of mind.
If we are harsh with ourselves, we tend to be harsh with others too.
If we love ourselves, we will love others too.
宽恕自己，才能宽恕别人。
谅解自己，才能谅解别人。
To forgive others, we must first forgive ourselves.
To understand others, we must first understand ourselves.
我们对自己充满仁慈，接受自己真实的样子，与自己的缺点和平共处，包容自己的弱点，善待宽容当下的自己。
We must be full of loving-kindness to ourselves, accept ourselves the way we are, live in harmony with our shortcomings, embrace our weaknesses, and be kind to ourselves in the here and now.
我们保持理性，对自己的缺点，弱点和所犯的错误，不懊恼不自卑，不悲观不绝望。
Stay rational, and don't feel remorse, inferior, pessimistic, or hopeless about our flaws, weaknesses, and mistakes.
我们惭愧忏悔，我们愿意宽恕自己，愿意改正自己。但是我们不着急，不心切。
We repent with shame. We are willing to forgive ourselves and correct ourselves. But we are not anxious.
如果出现这些求好心切的想法 请放下他们，因为无论是懊恼，自卑悲观，或者是着急心切等心态都是我爱心产生的扭曲的心理状态，或者说是变异了的我爱心理。
If you have these overeager thoughts, please let them go. Because whether remorse, low self-esteem, pessimism, or anxiety, etc., they are all distorted mental states that arise from self-love. In other words, they are other forms of self-love.
让我们观照自己的心，没有贪欲和憎恨，没有厌恶和嫉妒，没有恐惧与担忧。
让我们放松自己的身体，让我们放松自己的心，
让我们的心充满慈爱，让我们每一个细胞，每一滴血，以及整个身心的每一个元素都充满慈爱。
让慈爱的祥和与平静遍布我们的生命。
Watch our mind, and be free from greed, hatred, disgust, envy, fear, and worry.
Relax our body and mind.
Fill our mind with loving-kindness, fill every cell, every drop of blood, and every element of our body and mind with loving-kindness.
Let the peace and tranquility of loving-kindness pervade our lives.
当慈爱的力量渗透到我们的内心深处，建立起厚实而丰足的善意与仁慈，我们变得欣喜而慈心无量，
As the power of loving-kindness penetrates deep into our hearts and builds abundant kindness, we become joyful with boundless loving-kindness.
当丰足欣喜而无限的慈心自然的散发出来之时，在温暖和光明中放松身心，
When abundant joy and boundless loving-kindness naturally emanate from within you, relax your body and mind in the warmth and brightness.
把这种慈心散发给你所爱的人，以及不熟或不认识的人。散发给你的怨敌，乃至所有的生命，
Emanate this loving-kindness to your loved ones, to those you are not familiar with or don't know, to your enemies, and to all living beings.
我们祈愿：
愿十方的一切众生都善良而仁慈；愿他们安乐而喜悦；
愿他们都有温柔、体贴而又正义的朋友；
愿十方一切众生都与怨敌和解，远离苦恼和焦虑，脱离恐惧与悲伤；
愿十方的一切众生，没有疾病和饥饿，远离战争和灾难，脱离痛苦与困境。
Let's pray:
May all sentient beings be kind. May they have peace and joy.
May they have friends who are gentle, caring, and righteous.
May all sentient beings reconcile with their enemies, be free from affliction and anxiety, fear and sorrow.
May all sentient beings be free from disease and hunger, wars and disasters, suffering and hardship.
