甲札法王:在食物衣著言談等方面,簡單堪用即可

 

你或許窮盡一生僅是為了追求溫飽全力以赴之際並未想到痛苦或害人之行然而面臨死亡時卻帶不走絲毫的財物好好地想一想吧你所需要的就只是足以維持生存的衣服物資。你或許能享用一頓佳餚美酒,但它們隔天早晨全都成了污穢之物除此便無其他可言因此,要對維生的食物與簡樸的穿著感到知足在食物衣著言談等方面,簡單堪用即可。

 

You might spend your whole life in pursuit of only food and clothing, with great effort and without regard for suffering or harmful deeds, but when you die you can’t take even a single thing with you. Consider this well. The clothing and alms needed to keep you alive are all you need. You might dine on the finest meal of delicious meat and alcohol, but it all turns into something impure the very next morning, And there is nothing more to it than that. So be content with life-sustaining provisions and simple clothes, And be a loser when it comes to food, clothing and conversation.

 

– Chatral Rinpoche

from the book "Compassionate Action"

~ 譯註:資深藏漢譯者認為藏文化中應該沒有loser的觀念,原文很可能是菲薄、簡簡單單、堪用即可的意思。
