佛教真正的含意是什麼，也要慢慢體會⠀(傳喜法師)
⠀
佛教真正的含意是什麼，⠀
也要慢慢地去領會。⠀
佛陀告訴我們甚深的智慧，⠀
我們不是一下明白。⠀
就是告訴我們‘’苦‘’，⠀
我們眾生份上的事情，⠀
我們也不一定能明白。⠀
⠀
What is the true ⠀
meaning of Buddhism?⠀
⠀
The true meaning has to be ⠀
digested gradually.⠀
The Buddha told us that the profound wisdom ⠀
is not something we can comprehend in a jiffy. ⠀
When “sufferings” are preached to us,⠀
we may not be able to understand it ⠀
even when these issues ⠀
are directly related to us.⠀
⠀
一切法的顯現都無我的⠀
⠀
說極樂世界，佛說：⠀
唯佛與佛方能了知,⠀
因為那是佛的境界。⠀
但是我們眾生份上的境界，⠀
也不是說就清楚的。⠀
佛說我們這個身是不淨的,⠀
一切受是苦的，心是無常的,⠀
一切法的顯現都無我的，⠀
這個講得都是我們身上的事，⠀
我們也不一定知道，。⠀
⠀
It takes a Buddha to ⠀
understand a⠀
Buddha as that ⠀
is the realm of a Buddha⠀
When it comes to the Pure land,⠀
Buddha said: It takes a Buddha to ⠀
understand a Buddha as that ⠀
is the realm of a Buddha. ⠀
However, when it comes to ⠀
the realm of sentient beings like us, ⠀
it is not something that ⠀
can be easily explained, ⠀
either. Buddha mentioned that ⠀
this body of ours is unclean,⠀
everything is subjected to sufferings,⠀
the mind is impermanent, ⠀
and all manifestations of dharma⠀
in this world are non-self. ⠀
While all these mentioned ⠀
are related to us, ⠀
we may not even be aware of them.⠀
⠀
我們的生命都建立在有漏的上面⠀
⠀
講一些苦，我們覺得苦嗎？⠀
甚至社會上很多人會認為佛教這麼消極，⠀
動不動講苦。⠀
而且我們佛教說苦是諦啊！⠀
苦是一種，在我們眾生份上，⠀
這是一種規律。 為什麼是苦？⠀
⠀
因為是有漏的，⠀
我們的生命都建立在有漏的上面，⠀
我們看不到真相，隨波逐流、隨業流轉。⠀
⠀
Why is it termed⠀
as sufferings?⠀
⠀
When sufferings are spelt out,⠀
do we feel the sufferings? ⠀
Many people in the society ⠀
actually think that Buddhism is ⠀
quite passive as sufferings are⠀
being mentioned from time to time.⠀
Not to mention that suffering forms ⠀
one of the noble truths (dogma)⠀
in our Buddhism,⠀
suffering is one that can be⠀
repeatedly found upon us, ⠀
the sentient beings.⠀
It is a kind of law.⠀
Why is it termed as sufferings?⠀
Because they are Āsrāva*, ⠀
when we build our lives on Āsrāva,⠀
we will not be able to see the truth,⠀
we will just go with the flow⠀
and be where our karma takes us. ⠀
*Asrava means outflow,⠀
leakage leading to distress, pain,⠀
affliction & eventually Samsara.⠀
⠀
所以這本身就是苦。⠀
不管享福是苦，受罪也是苦；⠀
擁有也是苦，沒有也是苦。⠀
這個世界就是我們眾生份上。⠀
⠀
Thus, everything is but suffering. ⠀
Regardless of whether one is ⠀
enjoying life or enduring hardships, ⠀
“to have” or “not to have”, ⠀
all is but suffering. ⠀
This world is just like this to us,⠀
the sentient beings.
