煩惱 


Troubles


 


回想童年時候,不知道什麼叫憂愁 


As a child, we knew no trouble.





隨著年歲成長,煩惱也跟著增多。


As one grows however, so to does our anxiety.





懊惱地喃喃自語︰幸福總圍繞在別人身邊，
煩惱總糾纏在自己心裡…


In times of dismay, we mutter to ourselves.


Fortune only surrounded others,


and we're forever hounded by problems.


 


其實，煩惱是自找的,不是煩惱離不開你，
而是你撇不下它,甘願作煩惱的奴隸。


In truth, trouble does not find us, 
but rather,we make trouble.


It is our inability to ignore it that enslaves us.


 


有些事情也許確實煩擾著你, 但那不能說明它們本身是煩惱,
問題在於你怎樣看待的。


Some matters may have us troubled; however, 
it is not because the matter is in itself troublesome. 
It all lies in how we treat it.


 


煩惱都是我們投射出來的,都是「魔由心中生」。


然後你變得害怕、驚嚇，而且努力去防衛，


再則產生痛苦、挫折、衝突、沮喪和抗爭。


Anxiety is a project; thus the saying that 
"the devil comes from within".


It makes us afraid, and thus we fight it. 
But the more we struggle, the deeper we suffer.


 


除非你改變你的態度,不要創造煩惱,不要自找麻煩,


就以最單純的態度去應付事情本來的樣子。


Unless we change our attitude, 
we will forever find trouble for our hands.


We should aim to simplify matters 
down to the very core.


 


智者處事,隨緣自在；愚者處事,攀緣罣礙。
智者無事,故無心事；愚者有事，故有心事


The wise is forever free and thorough; 
the fool is always met with obstacles.


The sage is free, thus the mind is free; 
the fool is employed, thus occupied.


 


天下本無事,庸人自擾之。看清此點,
就可以漸漸減少煩惱，以至於不再有煩惱！


The world is a peaceful place 
where the mundane stirs trouble.


Once this becomes clear, we can decrease,
or be free of trouble.
