Joyous and fearless-欢喜而无畏

Joyousand fearless

Notbeing able to see the whole picture, we tend to be trapped by trivial matters. Moreoften than not, our fret is caused by focusing our mind on an unpleasant pointwhile ignoring, forgetting many beautiful lines worth appreciating. We feelexhausted when we have to do something, have to finish it as a task. Aiming atonly a good result, our mind is agitated by the possible losses and gains. Joyand fearlessness come only as a bonus of our knowing clearly the significanceof what we are doing, not clinging to any result, and doing it with our besteffort.

Those who can withstand pressure and staycalm in dealing with complicated situations are those who have honed themselvesfrom a variety of experiences. We may feel uneasy and restless if the capacityand intensity of our mind are still too small and too weak, not fit to bear anypressure. It is delusions that agitate a peaceful mind. It is concrete effortsthat settle the mind. Tons of thinking is not as good as a little bit of doing.

欢喜而无畏

心中看不到“大事”，就会被小事困扰。很多时候，我们的烦躁是因为把心力集中在了一个不如意的点上，却忽视、忘记了许多值得珍惜的美好。一件事情当作任务不得不去完成，就会觉得非常疲惫；为了追求好结果而患得患失，也会心情烦躁。唯有清楚地认识到这件事的意义，不攀附某种结果，只尽心尽力去做时，内心才会欢喜而无畏。

能在复杂事项中处变不惊，扛得住压力的人，都是从许许多多的经历中磨砺出来的。烦躁不安，是因为我们的心量和心力还太小、太弱，承受力不够。妄想令心烦躁，努力令心踏实，想再多不如去做一分。
