當你開放自己於生命的實相之時

當你對自己存在實相之不斷變化、無常、老死的性質打開心扉時，你會增加愛的能力，並能夠去關心別人，不再畏懼。你能夠一直開放你的目光，你能夠敞開你的心靈心智，還能注意到自己被成見、偏見，與嗔怒所攫取的時候。從現在開始直到生命結束，你熱忱地不再澆灌那些負面性的種子。你會開始感覺到生命提供了無限的機會，可以有不同的開始。

When You Open Yourself Up to Life as It Is

When you open yourself to the continually changing, impermanent, dying nature of your own being and of reality, you increase your capacity to love and care about other people and your capacity to not be afraid. You’re able to keep your eyes open, your heart open, and your mind open. And you notice when you get caught up in prejudice, bias, and aggression. You develop an enthusiasm for no longer watering those negative seeds, from now until the day you die. And you begin to think of your life as offering endless opportunities to start doing things differently.
