你需要付出什麼代價才能擺脫痛苦嗎?痛苦到底是什麼?痛苦是拉響的警報。痛苦只會令人頭痛,沒完沒了的痛。痛苦是一種自我醫療,是你給自己下的一劑猛藥。我的孩子們,相對於歡樂,你們好像對於痛苦更易於接受。當你認為生活打破了你的遊戲規則時,那種對生活表象的對立情緒就是痛苦。
What would it take for you to let go of suffering? What is suffering anyway? Suffering is an alarm that goes off. Suffering serves to give you headache and heartache. Suffering is a kind of self-medication that you take a big dose of. It would seem that My children accept suffering more readily than happiness. Suffering is your antagonism to the surface of life when life, as you see it, breaks your rules.
你指控生活背棄了你。你拒絕接受這樣的生活。你確信對你的傷害是不公平和難以接受的。親愛的,不管什麼造成了你的痛苦,都已然發生了。你不可能再回去推翻已經發生的一切。這樣做你或許正在將快樂推開,讓自己沉溺於痛苦,又或許,痛苦就像海中的救生筏一樣緊緊被你抓住。你嚴重的抗議著,拒絕接受不可改變的現實。而你卻無法避免已經發生的事實。
You convict life of going against you. You refute life. You are convinced that what hurts you in your Earth life is unfair and unacceptable. Dear Ones, whatever establishes suffering in your heart has already happened. You cannot overthrow life as it occurs. You might be turning happiness away and settling for suffering, or you may grab onto suffering as you might a life raft in the middle of the sea. You make a big protest. You refuse that which, in Reality, cannot be changed. You cannot prevent what has already occurred.
向前走吧。 Move forward.
你可以做到接受生活拋給你的最壞的可能性。你為此哭喊掙扎。這來源於這個世界上的生活的相對表象。好像痛苦是你的防禦武器。你反對並全力反抗已經發生的事實,而這都無濟於事。
You can readily accept that the worst life can offer has been chucked at you. You are kicking and screaming. This comes from surface relativity of life on Earth. It is as if suffering is your defense. You protest and fight tooth and nail that which has occurred, and which you cannot undo.
從理解生活就該如其所是開始。生活與你本無恩怨。每個人都要面對生活。無論你是誰,或早或晚,生活會帶走你摯愛的人的肉身。生活不會去抓住你。生活旨在讓你不斷前行。
Come from an understanding that life is as life is. Life has no vendetta with you. Life happens to all. No matter who you are, sooner or later, life will take away from you the physical presence of loved ones. Life isn"t out to get you. Life means to move you forward.
你可能會說生活就像是浪潮,而浪潮是公平的。在你看來生活是不公平的,你因此而怨恨生活,並試圖與它抗爭。沒有人能逍遙自在的生活。你們嚮往的美好會光顧每個人。你們不想要的也會以某種方式降臨在每個人身上。
You can say that life is like a tidal wave, and tidal waves are impartial. It may seem to you that life plays favorites, and so you may resent life and try to battle with it. No one gets off scot-free with life. The good you see visits all. The unwanted that you see in one form or another also visits all.
你不是一個目標。事實上,可以說你設置了某些生活的目標,同時拒絕接受無法抗拒的一切。
You are not a target. Rather, it could be said that you target parts of life and refuse to accept what cannot be denied.

假如你身處炎熱的夏季,你無法拒絕又長又熱的白天。夏天還是會繼續,如它該是的樣子。夏天不會為你們做出調整,而你們要去適應它。
If it is torrid summer where you are, you can"t refuse long days and sun. Summer will go on as long as it goes on. Summer doesn"t adjust to your wants. You have to adjust to summer.
當寒冷的冬天來臨,你可以穿的很暖,可以生起爐火,但卻不能阻止冬天。何必大驚小怪的為此煩惱。
And when cold winter comes, you can dress warmly, and you can light a fire, but you can"t stop winter. Why fuss and fume about it?
無論是夏天,冬天,或是寒流,洪水,不要浪費時間從個人化的角度去解讀發生的一切。
When it is summer or winter or draught or floods, you do not waste your time on taking such occurrences personally.
不要一遍一遍反覆閱讀昨天的報紙令自己沮喪,或者自己虐待自己。每一天都會有全新的信息。
Nor do you in life read yesterday"s newspaper over and over again to your dismay or self-flagellation. Every day sends you new messages.
生活不是針對你的,生活只是生活。尋找生活的過錯於你無益。你相信已經失去的一切,就放開手吧。沒人否認還在震驚中痛著的心很難忘卻,然而生活中的一切都要繼續向前,你也必須如此。
Life is not against you. Life is just being life. There is no profit in finding fault with life. What you may believe you have lost, you have to let go of. No one denies that an aching heart in shock is hard to get past, yet everything in life is to forge ahead, and so must you.
不管你曾失去了什麼都不可能再回來,然而卻有其它的珍貴的東西在等待著你。給自己的心一個大大的擁抱,擦乾眼淚。你參與或不參與其中,麻煩都會褪去。令你頭痛的事終將過去,它不是永恆存在的。
Whatever you have lost cannot be replaced, yet other treasures are laid up for you. Give your heart a good hug and wipe its tears. With or without your participation, troubles fade. Heartache is mortal. Heartache is not permanent.
別給悲哀添加佐料。不要為令人頭疼的事樹碑立傳。諒解令你悲傷和頭疼的一切。原諒自己。原諒讓你支離破碎的一切。讓自己振作起來。與生活和解。還有什麼其它要做的呢? 你來到這裡是為了這個世界。盡你所能賦予它和平。從更高處看待生活而不是陷於痛苦的深淵,允許生活的發生。讓破碎的心重新修復。
Do not curry woe. Do not build a monument to heartache. Forgive woe. Forgive heartache. Forgive yourself. Forgive all that cut you asunder. Put your self back together. Make peace with life. What else is there for you to do? You are here for the sake of the world. Grant peace to the world. Look higher than at the depths of suffering. Meet life half-way. Put back together your broken heart.
