狮吼音·开示集：去除嗔恨心的方法

　　缘起：尊贵的法王慈悲，在今天口传了观音六字大明咒及其修持仪轨。

　　Firstly due to His great compassion he gave the oral transmission of the Chenrezig mantra and sadhana.

　　了解接受与传授观音菩萨修行法门口传的原因和目的，是非常重要的。明显地，人类与其它各道众生相比，被赐予了更多的才能，因此人身是非常弥足珍贵的。我们都拥有为我们自己带来快乐和幸福的潜质，继而我们能够为其它众生带来快乐，然后我们也将会拥有一切的善缘。一般来说，我们总是忙于追逐世俗的一切事物。无论如何，一个人不可能为了他人的生命而设定自己的目标。每一个众生都有着他们自己的职责与任务。我们生命的意义就在于找寻快乐，每一个生命皆是如此。我们是如何得出这个结论的呢？很明显是根据我们的心态：我们的思维方式和我们欲求的方式。与每个众生各自的本性无关，每一个人都有着共同的态度与渴望，那就是寻找快乐，去除痛苦。得到快乐、去除痛苦其实是每一个众生共同的愿望，但人类却有着特殊的离苦得乐的潜能，而且与其它众生相比，人类对离苦得乐有着经久不衰的决心。假如我们能够了解生命的本质就是寻获快乐，那么我们就有了一个更好的角度去了知我们的生命是否具有意义。生命可能会因为你的上师或父母的指引而变得有意义，又或者因为你自己独特的思想而具有意义。

　　It is very important to understand the reason and objective for receiving and giving the transmission of the practice of Chenrezig.  It is evident that all human beings are gifted with aptitude in comparison to other beings  and that this human life form is very precious.  We all have the potential to work for the happiness for ourself and also for others but for the later, we must have all the favourable conditions as well.  In general, we are always very busy running after everything.  However, it is not possible for an individual to set objectives for another person’s life.  Each individual has their own responsibility and duty.   The meaning of our life is to look for happiness.  This is relevant to all of life.  How we come to this conclusion, that the meaning of life is to find happiness, is evident from our attitude, the way we think and the way we aspire.  Irrespective of the different natures of individuals, every human being has one common attitude and aspiration, and that is to find happiness and overcome suffering.  The wish to find happiness and to overcome suffering is common to all beings but human beings have a special potential to overcome suffering and to meet with happiness.  They also have a long-standing determination for meeting with happiness compared to other beings.  If we understand that the essence of our life is to find happiness, then we are in a better position to know if our life is meaningful or not.  Life may become meaningful through the guidance of your teachers, parents or through your own individual thinking.

　　首先，生命中的内在渴望就是寻找快乐，了解这一点非常重要。如果你的心态与寻求快乐相违背，那么生命将会变得毫无意义。另一方面，为了使生命有意义，最重要的就是要造作能够带来快乐的善业。为得到快乐，我们要寻找正面的、积极的善因，例如非暴力或是能为人们的心灵带来平安喜乐的善因。相反地，如果造作了不善业，则会使我们寻找快乐、成就具义人生的希望落空。我们所指的生命之中的潜质就是：仁爱、慈悲和非暴力。为了在我们内心植下仁爱与慈悲的种子，很重要的一点是要了解：仁爱与慈悲的反面即是烦恼染污，这些烦恼染污会阻止我们发展仁爱与慈悲。与仁爱和慈悲相反的情绪就是贪、嗔、痴。说到嗔恨心，我想和大家分享我所知道的一些事情，我觉得如果想增加教授的效果，讲故事会是比较有用的，也许这样能够使重点更加清晰。

　　Primarily, it is important to understand that the inner aspiration of our life is to find happiness.  If your attitudes are opposed to finding happiness then life will be meaningless.  On the other hand, to make life meaningful, it is important to engage in activities that will produce happiness.  In order to find happiness, we must look for positive causes like non-violence or causes that are peaceful and appealing to one’s mind.  If instead we engage in impure causes then this will empty our aspiration to find happiness and make life meaningful.  In our life, the positive qualities we are talking about are loving kindness, compassion and non-violence.  In order to cultivate love and compassion within ourselves, it is important to understand that the opposite to love and compassion are the emotional defilements.  These prevent us from developing love and compassion.  The opposites to the emotions of love and compassion are desire, hatred and ignorance.  Here, related to hatred, I have a few things to share with you.  I feel that it might be of some help if I try to highlight the talk through a story.  This might bring the point across more clearly.
