《042》有些人和自己的烦恼挑战,而且也征服了它们,这就叫作「向内挑战」。那些向外征战的人,手持枪弹射杀他人,征服了别人后,又被人征服;征服他人是世间法。在「法」的修习里,我们不须去征服他人,相反地,却要去征服我们自己的心,耐心地对治我们所有的情绪。
There are those who do battle with their defilements and conquer them. This is called fighting inwardly. Those who fight outwardly take hold of bombs and guns to throw and to shoot. They conquer and are conquered. Conquering others is the way of the world. In the practice of Dhamma we don’t have to fight others, but instead conquer your own minds, patiently resisting all our moods.
