【我们对幸福的看法】

假设你有一个关于幸福的概念,一个关于什么会让你感到幸福的想法。这个想法根植于你自己和你的环境之中。你的想法告诉你,为了感到幸福,你需要什么条件。你可能已经拥有这个想法十年或者二十年了,现在你意识到你对幸福的想法正在让你受苦。你的想法可能包含了错觉、愤怒或欲望的元素。这些元素是苦难的本质。另一方面,你知道你也有过其他类型的体验:快乐、释放或真爱的时刻。你可以明确这些是真正幸福的时刻。当你经历了真正的幸福时刻,放弃你的欲望对象就变得更加容易,因为你正在培养这样的洞察力:这些对象不会让你幸福。

许多人有放手的愿望,但他们无法做到,因为他们还没有足够的洞察力;他们还没有看到其他的选择,其他通向和平与幸福的门径。恐惧是阻止我们放手的一个因素。我们害怕一旦放手,就没有其他东西可以依靠。放手是一种修炼;它是一门艺术。有一天,当你足够坚强和笃定时,你将放弃那些让你受苦的困扰。

[Our Idea of Happiness]

Say you have a notion of happiness, an idea about what will make you happy. That idea has its roots in you and in your environment. Your idea tells you what conditions you need in order to be happy. You’ve entertained this idea for ten or twenty years, and now you realize that your idea of happiness is making you suer. Your idea may contain an element of delusion, anger, or craving. These elements are the substance of sufering. On the other hand, you know that you have other kinds of experiences: moments of joy, release, or true love. You can recognize these as moments of real happiness. When you’ve had a moment of real happiness, it becomes easier to release the objects of your craving, because you’re developing the insight that these objects will not make you happy.

Many people have the desire to let go, but they’re not able to do so because they don’t yet have enough insight; they haven’t seen other alternatives, other doorways to peace and happiness. Fear is an element that prevents us from letting go. We’re fearful that if we let go we’ll have nothing else to cling to. Letting go is a practice; it’s an art. One day, when you’re strong enough and determined enough, you’ll let go of the a¢ictions that make you suer.
