既然某些时候，我们要生起无伪的仁爱与慈悲会有困难，我们就要先问一下自己，什么是真正的爱与慈悲？真正的爱与慈悲是希望、期待一切有情都能幸福快乐，希望去除他们的痛苦。这样的修持，的确是很难的。去爱我们的父母和亲人很容易，但我们真正要做的是延展这些情感，将它们升华到要去帮助一切的众生。
Since we sometimes have a problem or difficulty expressing true love and compassion, we should ask ourselves what is true love and compassion
True love and compassion is wanting, expecting all other beings to be happy and to want to remove their suffering. This practice however, is very difficult. It”s easy to feel love for our parents and close relatives but really what we need to do is extend these feelings and build upon them so they extend to help all beings.
障碍我们得到这些良善功德的是象嗔恨等的各种染污。我们要很小心这些染污，不要让它们打断我们的修行。说到不同的烦恼染污，例如不安忍、嗔恨、贪等等，若以嗔恨为例，我们常常会看到有一些人他们总是在生气，心中充满了嗔恨，这样的思想只会为将未来带来负面的结果。人们总是会与有暴力倾向的人保持距离，甚至与他们的家人都要保持距离。例如一条幼蛇——它因为过去生嗔恨心太重的业力投生成蛇——即使是一条小幼蛇，人们也不愿意看到或碰到它，人们很自然的就讨厌它们。这就是嗔恨带来的负面后果。我们应该断除那些会给未来带来坏结果的负面因素，并努力建立更多正面的功德，这样未来会更美好。我们要永远避免落入那些坏的品质---- 例如嗔恨、愤怒、贪婪等等。
The hindrances to obtaining these good qualities are the defilements such as hatred and so on. We need to watch out for the presence of these defilements and not let them interrupt our practice. Speaking about these different afflictions, such as impatience, hatred, desire and so on, if we take the example of hatred then we see that some people are so angry all the time and full of hatred. This type of thinking will only bring back a negative result in the future. People will always keep violent people at a distance – even their family members. Take the example of a baby snake which is born due to past karma of having much hatred in former lives – even a baby snake is something that people don”t even want to see or touch. People are naturally afraid of them. This is the negative result of hatred. You should try to get rid of these negativities that will bring bad results in the future and try to build more positive qualities so the future will be better. Always try to avoid the bad qualities such as hatred, anger, desire and so forth.
被染污的心识只会为未来带来负面影响，知道这一点很重要。了解这一点可以帮助我们放弃或避免造作恶业，同样地，如果我们只造作善业，这将会带来长久的善果。当你看到一个总是非常愤怒的人，尝试把他看作是一位病人，一位正在作不善业的病人，因为知道他们的未来将充满痛苦，你应该为此而生起慈悲心。
It is important to know that the defiled unwholesome states of mind can only bring negative effects in the future. By knowing this it will help us to abstain from and avoid doing negative things. Through this reasoning, if you do only positive things then it will bring a better result in the long run.If you see someone who is very angry all the time then try seeing them as a sick person who is doing these negative things like an illness and develop compassion for them because you know heir future will be full of suffering.
