..续本文上一页he question is then why not jumping into the painless method right from the beginning
很多这些方法都根植于分别念，需要很多的投入。那么，为什么我们不在一开始就直接跳到那些简单方便的方法呢？
Even though the skill accompanied by wisdom is powerful, it is very difficult to accept it with narrow mentality, because we are so used to certain narrow-minded calculation. We overly believe the philosophy of no pain, no gain. We think that in order to gain this much, we have to go through all kind of hardship.
虽然有智慧相伴的方法是强大有效的，但是这样的方法却是不易为狭隘的头脑所接受的。我们往往习惯于某些狭隘偏执的计算。譬如说没有投入就没有回报。要想成就这么些，必得投入这么些苦行，等等等等。
The skill really defers to how much wisdom you have. Many seem to have the misconception below. In order to get this much, you have to put in this much. Anything that is beyond this is unbelievable, like a lottery.
那么用什么方法，事实上取决于我们有多大的智慧。很多人有这样的偏见-如果要得到这么多，你必须付出这么多。所有超越这个逻辑的方法都被认为是匪夷所思，如同中彩票。
The truth is, if you use the skill accompanied by wisdom, you will accumulate merit. Even if you are a person without wisdom, you can also accumulate merit if you encounter a person with wisdom and show your respect whole-heartedly.
而事实上，如果你采用有智慧相伴的方法，你便能积累福德。哪怕你是一个没有智慧的人，如果你有幸遇到一个具足智慧的人并对他有全心的尊敬，你也能积累福德。
In daily life, we don”t know who is a Buddha and who is not. The most unlikely person we think maybe the real Buddha. We should treat every being with respect, love, and compassion.
在日常生活中，我们肉眼无法分别谁是，或是不是佛陀。我们以为最不可能的说不定就是真正的佛陀。对于任何一个人，我们都以菩提心对待。
If you have the Bodhicitta, you are luckiest person. Bodhicitta is luck, it is absolutely important. It protects you from obstacles of luck. The minute you have Bodhicitta, you are already lucky. Let”s say you are an entrepreneur, you stop accumulating wealth when you are asleep. But with Bodhicitta, the merit will be generating whatever state you are in, even if you are asleep.
如果你有菩提心，那么你就是一个最幸运的人。菩提心就是幸运，这个非常重要。菩提心让你远离障碍。在你有菩提心的当下，你便是幸运的。假如你是一个企业家，在你睡觉休息的时候，你的财富并不得到积累。而菩提心则相反，当你有了菩提心，每时每刻你都在产生和积累福德。
Contemplation 观察自心
Why are we unlucky
What makes us lose confidence
We don”t contemplate on ourselves enough. That is why we lose confidence. The wisdom of contemplation only is the greatest gift we got from Buddha. If we could even spend one minute contemplating every day!
为什么我们不幸运？又是什么让我们丧失自信？原因是我们缺乏对自心的观察。对自心的观察是我们从佛陀那儿得到的最大的礼物。假如我们每天能话一分钟的时间来向内观察自己，一切都会有所不同。
We are all longing for everlasting happiness. To have that, you need to be mindful. We have lost our mind for a long time. Our mind is not even gone far. It is right next to us, and that is what we need to recognize.
我们都渴望永久的快乐。要想拥有它，我们需要有觉知。我们失去自己的心已经很久了，尽管它就在那儿，根本没有走远。而我们需要认识到的就是，我们的心，就在那儿。
In order to do that, the mind needs to be relaxed. In order for the mind to be relaxed, it needs to contemplate on itself. To contemplate on itself, the mind needs to be inside its body. And for that to happen, you have to be mindful about your body.
要想做到这个，我们的心必须要放松。若要放松，心得有观察自己的时候。而要观察自心，心得在我们身体里。如何让心安住在身体里呢？我们得对自己的身体保持觉知。
We don”t have enough contemplation about our mind-asking what it is doing. By asking how and why, you are only analyzing, not contemplating. When we contemplate on our mind, we discover all kind of thoughts coming in. Some time we feel guilty if it is a bad thought, it is not contemplation. If it is a good thought and we are happy, it is not contemplation. Contemplation is not self-legislation. It is purely watching. 我们对自心没有足够的观察-问它它在做什么。当我们在问如何做或者为什么做的时候，我们只是在分析，并不是在观察自心。当我们观察自心的时候，我们会发现里面念头繁杂。当这个念头是个不好的念头的时候，我们内疚，这不叫观察。当我们对好的念头沾沾自喜的时候，这也不叫观察。观察自心，不是让自己当自己的警察。它只是观察，不干预地观察。
Why do we do it
If you continue doing it, not judge, not entangle, it reduces and eventually destroy all traces of distraction. An undistracted person is a confident person. Confident person is a lucky person because nothing goes wrong. When everything goes right when you are not even recognizing it, it is …
