有三種東西，你必須丟掉慈誠羅珠堪布

【ARE YOU READY FOR HAPPINESS?（48）】

痛苦，其實只是紙老虎

Suffering is just a Paper Tiger

Buddhism categorizes afflictions into three kinds:

佛教把所有的煩惱，歸納為三種：

The first is greed. Buddha Sakyamuni did not ask us to forgo greed or desire at the beginning, since it is actually not possible. The sutras state very clearly that certain kinds of desire are helpful to us in our development. For instance, the wish to improve the quality of our life is，to a certain extent，a form of desire; the wish to make more money in our work or business in order to help others is also a form of desire. The Buddha explained we need not cut off this kind of desire for now; we should first let go of the excessive desire which serves only self-interest.

第一種，貪，就是貪慾心。釋迦牟尼佛並沒有要求我們一開始就要放棄所有的貪慾或慾望，本身這也不可能。同時，有些慾望對人的發展還是有所助益的，佛經對此講得非常清楚。想讓自己的生命得到升華，在某種程度上，也是一種慾望。想有更多的錢去幫助其他人，所以要去賺錢，這也是一種慾望。佛告訴我們，這一類的慾望暫時不需要斷除，但自私自利的過度慾望，卻應該先放下。

The second is anger. In the sutras, anger is divided into many levels. When anger reaches a point where we no longer want to let go of it, it becomes hatred.

第二種，嗔，就是嗔恨心。在佛經裡面，嗔恨心分了很多層次。當它發展到一定程度，到了不願放棄的時候，就是仇恨。

The third is delusion. The source of all afflictions is delusion, ignorance, and not knowing the true reality.

第三種，痴，就是愚痴心。一切煩惱痛苦的根源，就是痴、無明、不明白真相。

Buddha Sakyamuni said he could teach us the way to Buddhahood, but no more than that; ultimate realization must still come from within ourselves. The Buddha was not all- powerful. When he discovered this natural law, he could only hand us the instructions. If we do not put his teachings to practice, we cannot attain liberation.

釋迦牟尼佛告訴我們：我可以告訴你成佛的方法，但僅此而已，最後的成佛，還是要靠自己解決。釋迦牟尼佛不是萬能的。釋迦牟尼佛在發現這個自然規律之後，只能告訴我們該怎樣去做，如果自己不去做，一樣不能解脫。
