《112》实际上,快乐是痛苦的伪装,可是在这种细微的形态里,你看不见它。如果你执着快乐时,就如同执着痛苦一样,但是,你并没有察觉到。当你执取快乐时,要丢弃它本有的苦性是不可能的;它们是如此的不可分离。因此,佛陀教导我们要认识苦,将苦视为快乐里所具有的伤害;视它们(苦与乐)为平等的。因此,小心!当快乐生起时,不得意忘形;当痛苦生起时,不要沮丧,别让自己迷失在其中,视它们同具有同等的价值。
In truth, happiness is suffering in disguise but in such a subtle form that you don’t see it. If you cling to happiness, it’s the same as clinging to suffering, but you don’t realize it. When you hold on to happiness, it is impossible to throw away the inherent suffering. They’re inseparable like that. Thus the Buddha taught us to know suffering, see it as the inherent harm in happiness, to see them as equal. So be careful! When happiness arises, don’t be overjoyed, and don’t get carried away. When suffering comes, don’t despair, don’t lose yourself in it. See that they have the same equal value.
