第二辑 直抵心灵的真相 Volume 2: Truth That Touches Your Heart
时代巨变，一个新时代的诞生，必定有一个旧时代的结束。一个旧时代的结束，也必定有一群跟不上新时代而陨落的人群。
Times are changing, the birth of a new era inevitably marks the end of an old era. With the end of an old era comes the demise of a group of people who cannot keep up with the new times.
万事万物都有其运行规律，一切新的科技创造，必定成就一部分人，也必定摧毁一部分人。
Everything in the world follows its own set of laws and regulations. Every new technological advancement will undoubtedly benefit some individuals to while inevitably harming others.
在这个大浪淘沙的时代，有些人正在锐意进取，走向光明，有些人正在消磨意志，走向灭亡！
In this era of great upheaval, some people are forging ahead with determination, heading towards brightness, while others are eroding their will and heading towards destruction.
有五类人盲失自我，正在被时代摧毁！
There are five types of people are losing themselves, being destroyed by the era.
第一类人，属于随波逐流型，完全被时代信息所淹没，沉迷在各种假象当中不能自拔。
The first type of people belong to the "go-with-the-flow" type, completely overwhelmed by the information of the era, indulging in various illusions and unable to extricate themselves.
他们刷视频、看直播、玩游戏、长期熬夜等。在短期内获得快感，这种快感逐渐形成一种频率与习惯，使他们逐渐丧失意志、精神萎靡、未老先衰，在家啃老，一事无成。
They spend their time watching videos, live streams, playing games, and staying up late for long periods. They seek instant gratification, which gradually forms a pattern and habit, causing them to lose their willpower, become spiritually listless, and age prematurely. They end up depending on their parents for support and achieve nothing of significance.
第二类人，属于勤奋瞎忙型，没有一技之长，没有自己的事业，奔忙于各种应酬、聚会、炒股、直销，梦想着接大单、发大财，一天到晚忙忙碌碌，疲于奔命，在瞎忙中消耗生命。
The second type of people belong to the "busy-but-aimless" type, lacking any specific skills or their own career. They are constantly occupied with socializing, parties, stock trading, and direct selling, dreaming of striking big deals and making a fortune. They keep themselves busy day in and day out, exhausting their lives in futile busyness.
他们工作勤奋，目光短浅，有忙不完的事情，工作生活没有条理，没有规律，到头来三高俱全，用钱买命。
They work diligently but have short-sighted vision, always having an endless stream of tasks to attend to. Their work and life lack organization and routine, and in the end, they suffer from the three highs [high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol], trading their health for money.
第三类人，属于疯狂索取型，迷于物欲和享乐，利欲熏心，爱慕虚荣，喜好攀比，旅游、购物、聚会。
The third type of people belong to the "crazily-seeking" category. They are obsessed with material desires and pleasures, driven by selfish motives, and pursue vanity. They enjoy comparing themselves to others and engage in activities such as traveling, shopping, and social gatherings.
他们人情淡薄，对那些力所能及、只需举手之劳的利众之事，也置若罔闻，他们唯利是图，不择手段，忘恩负义，注定孤独终老。
They are indifferent to others. They turn a deaf ear to matters that could benefit others, which are within their capability and only require little effort on their part. They are driven solely by self-interest, resorting to any means to achieve their goals, and show ingratitude to others. They are destined to live out their old age in loneliness.
第四类人，属于拒绝成长型，完全沉醉于自己的舒适区，迷信科技，不愿意接触新思想、新观念，更不愿意去接受挑战、突破自我，逐渐在自己的舒适区消磨意志，沉沦其中。
The fourth type of people belong to the "refusal-to-grow" category, completely immersed in their comfort zone. They blindly trust technology and unwilling to engage with new ideas or concepts. Moreover, they are resistant to accepting challenges or breaking through themselves. Gradually, they erode their willpower and sink deeper into their comfort zone.
他们有了一点成果，开始在舒适的环境中变得麻木不仁、固步自封、拒绝学习，停止成长，他们执著陈旧的思想观念，固守僵化的生活模式，越老越顽固，在倚老卖老中坐吃等死，严重障碍社会的发展和进步。
They have achieved some success and begin to become numb in their comfortable environment, resting on their laurels and refusing to learn and improve. They persist in outdated ideologies and cling to rigid lifestyles. As they age, they become more stubborn. They sit back and wait to die while taking advantage of their seniority, seriously hindering the development and progress of society.
第五类人，属于迷信宗教型，执迷不悟，没有智慧，没有正信，不懂得戒律的开遮，崇拜神鬼，迷信神通，喜好朝山，道听途说，妄说谶言，亲友疏离，生活脱离现实。
The fifth type of people belong to the "superstitious religious" type. They are blindly obsessed, lacking wisdom and true faith. They do not understand the conditions of precepts, worship deities and spirits, indulge in supernatural powers, enjoy visiting sacred mountains, believe in rumors and spread unfounded prophecies. As a result, they become estranged from friends and family and lead a life disconnected from reality.
他们以修道者自居，没有传承，自研经典，不懂实修，盲修瞎练，贡高我慢，严重者谈玄说妙、轻慢僧宝。有些人都没有起码的生存能力，他们自以为心怀普度众生的愿望，实际上自私自利、急于求成，念佛等死！
They consider themselves as practitioners, without proper lineage or transmission. They study scriptures on their own, not knowing actual practices, and blindly engage in unguided practice. They are arrogant and conceited, and some even talk about profound teachings in a frivolous manner, showing disrespect for monks. Some of them don't even have the basic skills for survival. They think they have the aspiration to benefit all beings, but in fact, they are selfish and rush for success, simply chanting the name of Buddha until death.
这5类人代表了这世上90%以上的人群，他们每天被大量的垃圾信息围绕，精神颓废，没有人生方向，异想天开，等着天上掉馅饼，坐、等、靠，如同一具具行尸走肉，等待随时被收割，也随时被这快速巨变的时代所淘汰！
These five types of people represent over 90% of the population in this world. They are surrounded by an abundance of trash information every day, leading to mental decadent and a lack of life direction. They indulge in unrealistic fantasies, hoping for a windfall from the sky. They simply sit, wait, and rely, resembling walking zombies, awaiting to be shaken at any moment and readily discarded by this rapidly changing era.
这世上只有10%的人在追求生命上的觉悟，他们明白，生而为人不完全是为了体验吃喝拉撒、生老病死，也不完全是为了喜怒哀惧、功名利禄而来。
Only 10% of people in this world are pursuing enlightenment in life. They understand that being human is not only about experiencing eating, drinking, birth, aging, sickness, and death, nor is it solely about pursuing joy, anger, sorrow, fear, fame, and fortune.
他们的灵魂因净化提升的需要来到地球，所有利益众生、利益地球的事情，都会努力地去做，他们脚踏实地，乐观向上，精神充实，大爱无疆。
They come to Earth with the need for their souls to be purified and elevated. They strive to do everything that benefits sentient beings and the Earth, down-to-earth, with optimism and fulfillment in spirit, their love knows no boundaries.
