A REMINDER TO MYSELF
—from 16thKarmapa
自我提醒
In physical conduct, I will not allow myself to be rootless and hurried,
Incapable of being still, carelessly following my every whim.
I will always hold my own space.
And be adorned by the training in pure discipline.
在肢體行為上，
我不會容許自己變得無根或者匆忙、
無法靜止，草率地跟隨我的每一個怪念頭。
我會永遠保持自我空間，
以淨(jìng)戒的訓(xùn)練作為嚴飾。
In speech, whether spiritual or secular,
I will choose meaningful words
And shun unconnected talk of past events
or boring discussions concerning any of the three times.
I will always exert myself in dharmic recitations, proclamations, and readings.
在語言上，無論是心靈或世俗的，
我會選擇有意義的話語，
避免闊談天馬行空的過去事件，
或任何有關(guān)三時的無趣議題，
我會永遠在佛法的闡述、傳揚與研讀上全力以赴。
In mind, I will not flutter back and forth like a young bird on a branch.
Not getting absorbed in discursive thoughts of good and bad,
I will meditate, cultivating forbearance and relying on my own perceptions, not those of others.
I will reflect on how best to benefit the teachings and beings.
在心念上，我不會如一隻幼鳥般，
在枝頭來回抖動，
不會被散漫離題的好、壞念頭所吸引，
我會禪修，培養(yǎng)安忍，
依賴我自己的感知而非他人的。
我會思維如何能對教法和有情有最大的利益。
