地平線上,伯利恒的明星


我們凝視著那在地平線上、伯利恆的明星。它雖然極為遙遠,但仍然它是充滿希望的;明性或光明(luminosity)的火花仍在那裡。大地可能非常黑暗,天空暗灰而漆黑,(世界)或是冰冷的,我們或覺得寒冷、不舒服、疲累、與不安。但無論如何,伯利恆之明星仍在那裡;人類的希望仍然存在。人類可以期盼的最後希望是覺悟(enlightenment),那即是地平線上、伯利恒的明星。

"We are gazing at the star of Bethlehem on the horizon. It is far, far away, but still there is hope. A spark of luminosity is there. The land may be dark, the sky may be gray and black. It might be chilly, and we might be cold, uncomfortable, tired, and restless. But nevertheless, the star of Bethlehem is over there. Human beings hope. The final hope that human beings could ever be hopeful of is enlightenment, the star of Bethlehem on the horizon. "
