《109》苦有两种:导致更痛苦的苦和导致苦止熄的苦。前者是执著片刻的快乐和厌恶不快乐的苦──人类日復一日不断地挣扎。后者是来自自己全然地去经验不断变迁的经验──快乐、痛苦、愉悦和瞋怒的苦──没有恐惧或退失。我们所经验的苦,会导致内心的无畏和平静。
There are two kinds of suffering: the suffering, which leads to more suffering, and the suffering, which leads to the end of suffering. The first is the pain of grasping after fleeting pleasures and aversion for the unpleasant, the continued struggle of most people day after day. The second is the suffering, which comes when you allow yourself to feel fully the constant change of experience - pleasure, pain, joy, and anger - without fear or withdrawal. The suffering of our experience leads to inner fearlessness and peace.
