修習(xí)慈無量心，發(fā)展自己的慈愛心（中英雙語）

　　世人多知自求快樂，忘掉別人的痛苦，但修習(xí)慈無量心的人不但自求快樂，乃至十方世界一切眾生都得到快樂幸福。這個(gè)修持需要我們真心誠意，不求任何回報(bào)地去發(fā)展自己的慈愛心，幫助一切眾生得到究竟的安樂。所以幫助眾生一定要契理契機(jī)，你給的都是你自自己“想”給的，而不是對方想要的，活在自己世界里的付出，可能會適得其反。

　　The people of the secular world know how to be happy and forget the pain of others, but those who practice the immeasurable mind of loving-kindness are not only happy, but even all sentient beings in the world of the Ten Directions are happy. This practice requires us to be sincere and not to seek any kind of reward to develop our loving-kindness and help all sentient beings to attain the ultimate peace of mind. Therefore, helping sentient beings must be a reasonable opportunity according to the Dharma and audience. What you give is what you “think” by yourself, not what the other person wants. The effort when you live in your own world may be counterproductive.
