天地三件事
There are three types of affairs in this world
天地三件事 一件是「自己的事」
There are three types of affairs in this world,
the first is "my business".
諸如:上不上班、吃什麼東西、開不開心、
結不結婚、..自己能安排的皆屬之。
E.g. going to work, what to eat, to be happy, to get married
and anything can within our control.
一件是「別人的事」
Another category is "their business".
諸如:.小張好吃懶做、老陳對我很不滿意、
別人在主導的事情皆屬之。
E.g. Dave is lazy, Mike is unhappy with me,
or anything else that's within the control of others.
一件是「老天爺的事」
The final category is "God's business"
諸如:會不會颳風、地震、戰爭、開悟、
人能力範圍以外的事情,都屬於老天爺的管轄範圍。
E.g. The occurrence of hurricanes, earthquakes,wars,
or enlightenment, matters that are outside of human capability.
人的煩惱就是來自於:
Trouble brews from:
忘了自己的事、愛管別人的事、擔心老天爺的事
forgetting one's own business,
poking nose in other people's business
and worrying about God's business.
所以要輕鬆自在很簡單:
Therefore, to relax is easy.
打理好「自己的事」、不去管「別人的事」、
不操心「老天爺的事」
Take care of your own business, leave others are
and don't fret over Mother Nature.
除非你能進入「靜心狀態」去「觀照」,
Only when one calmly oversees matters,
你就會「如實」發現天底下真的只有這三件事:
one will discover that there are but these three types of affairs:
「自己的事」、「別人的事」、「老天爺的事」
My business, their business and God's business.
下次心情不好時,趕快問自己,那件事到底是「誰」的事!
Next time when met with unpleasantness,
ask yourself, who this matter belongs to.
