《116》人在一个地方受了苦,就会跑到其他地方去,当苦在那儿生起时,他们又再逃避。他们认为他们是在逃避苦,但却不然;苦追随着他们。他们带着苦到处跑,却一点也不知道。如果我们不知苦,就无法知道苦的起因;如果我们不知苦的起因,那么,我们就不知苦的熄灭。如此一来,我们便无处可逃。
People have suffering in one place, so they go somewhere else. When suffering arises there, they run off again. They think they’re running away from suffering, but they’re not. Suffering goes with them. They carry suffering around without knowing it. If we don’t know suffering, then we can’t know the cause of suffering. If we don’t know the cause of suffering, then we can’t know the cessation of suffering. There’s no way we can escape it.
