我们每一个人的每一天晚上,可能都是对我们的一个人生考验,
To each and everyone of us, every night may be a test in our life.
可能都是一次死亡。
Each night could spell death for us.
黎明就是一次重生,
Each dawn ushers in a new lease on life,
所以过去有很多人经常在早上醒过来,
hence, in those days when people woke up in the morning,
第一句话就是
the first thing they would say was
“感谢菩萨,我还活着,谢谢菩萨的慈悲。”
“Thank you Bodhisattva, I’m still alive. Thank you Bodhisattva for your compassion.” 不要再去为每一天欢喜和悲伤的人生纠结自己的内心。
Do not be emotionally affected by the joys and sorrows in life which bring about inner conflicts.
人要懂得,人生最好的回报,
Thus, we must truly understand that the best reward in life
就是能够放下烦恼、解脱痛苦,
is to be able to let go of afflictions and be free of suffering.
不要让自己束缚在欲望当中。
Don’t let yourself be bound by desires.
