如何克制愤怒与仇恨

　　 观音是爱与慈悲的化身。我们本自具足爱与慈悲的种子：爱自己以及他人，而这个观音的口传将使这些种子更有价值。

　　 Chenrezig is the embodiment of love and compassion. We already have within us the seeds of love and compassion both for ourself and for others. This Chenrezig transmission enhances these seeds.

　　 爱与慈悲之种的反面就是仇恨之种，如果我们要对两者加以区分的话，可以说仇恨是破坏性的，而仁爱则能带来利益。

　　 The opposite to these seeds of love and compassion are the worst seeds of hatred. If we could them then we”d say that hatred is destructive whilst loving-kindness is beneficial.

　　 有时候我们会从他人那里感受到敌意，但如果我们反省一下就会发现其中必然会有原因。这里有一个小故事：

　　 Sometimes we receive hatred from others but if we introspect then we will see that there must have been a cause. Here”s a little story:

　　 在西藏，有一位伟大的瑜伽士名叫密勒日巴，他受到西藏所有佛教学派的尊崇。密勒日巴的故事和印度著名的诗人蚁垤很相似。蚁垤在早年曾是一名专门抢劫朝圣者和旅行者的强盗，他的内心充满愤怒，直到有一天蚁垤碰到了一位身无分文的瑜伽士(悉达)(注：梵文siddha，音译“悉达”，既有成就的佛教修行者，或成就者)，蚁垤试图杀害这位瑜伽士。但最后，蚁垤与瑜伽士的相遇成了他人生的转折点。(注：在法王五月二十一日的开示中讲到了这个故事)

　　 In Tibet there was a great yogi called Milarepa who is respected by all schools in Tibetan Buddhism. His story is similar to the great poet Valmiki, who in his early life was a bandit who stole from pilgrims and travellers. He was full of anger. One day he met a yogi (siddha) who had no valuables and tried to kill him. However, meeting this yogi ended up being the turning point of his life.

　　 密勒日巴在他年轻时也曾犯下了许多恶行。密勒日巴出生在一个偏僻地区的富裕家庭，他的祖先很早就迁徙到这里，并慢慢富裕起来，当地人并不乐于见到他们的成功，人们非常的妒忌他们。

　　 Milarepa in his youth had also done a lot of negative deeds. He was born in a remote area into a very rich family. His forefathers had migrated there and became very wealthy. The locals, thus, disliked their success and were very jealous.

　　 密勒日巴有一个妹妹，他的父亲在他很小的时候就因为重病而去世了。父亲的财产全部落入到密勒日巴伯父的手里，，这些财产原本是应该在密勒日巴长大成人时交还给他的。

　　 Milarepa had one sister and his father had died due to a serious illness when he was very young. All the father”s wealth had fallen into his father”s brothers”s hands and as supposed to be released to Milarepa when he became old enough to be the custodian.

　　 关于这个故事有两种说法，其中一个是说当时密勒日巴的母亲只有27岁，那位伯父希望她能够改嫁给自己的儿子，但她却不愿意。因为她的拒绝，密勒日巴的伯父开始非常恶劣的对待她。密勒日巴一家只能得到极少的一点衣食，还经常遭到伯父一家的虐待，他们饥饿不堪还被迫要去做苦工。

　　 There are different versions of the story and one says that when Milarepa”s mother was 27, the uncle wanted her to re-marry to his son but she didn”t want to. He then started to treat her very badly because of her refusal. As a result they had very little food or clothing and underwent a lot of mistreatment from the uncle and his family. They were starved and forced to do hard work.

　　 当密勒日巴长大成人可以管理父亲留下的财产时，他的伯父却不愿意交出财产。不幸的是，密勒日巴的母亲是个天生心胸狭窄的人，无法原谅他的伯父，她希望能够复仇，于是将密勒日巴送去学习黑巫术。经过诸多艰难困苦，密勒日巴成为了熟练的咒师并杀死了25个人。村庄里的人们非常的难过，并因此而与密勒日巴为敌。

　　 When Milarepa became old enough to look after his father”s wealth, the uncle didn”t give it. Unfortunately Milarepa”s mother had a natural tendency to be ill at heart and couldn”t forgive the uncle. She wanted revenge and sent Milarepa away to learn black magic. After a lot of hardship and difficulties he became very accomplished and killed 25 people. The people in the village became very upset and turned against him because of that.

　　 我(注：法王)对双方都能够理解，也能看出为什么他们会仇恨对方。但密勒日巴与其伯父有着巨大的不同：他的伯父始终怀着仇恨；而密勒日巴在杀死如此多人之后，出于悔恨和愧疚，他放弃了对伯父的仇恨。密勒日巴选择了佛法的道路，开始练习如何去爱所有众生，这样一来他嗔恨的倾向就得到了彻底的消除。

　　 His Holiness said that he could understand both sides and see why they both had malicious spite towards each other but there was one major difference between the uncle and Milarepa. The uncle continued to bear his spite but Milarepa out his great regret for killing so many people had forsaken his spite against his uncle. He took the path of Dharma and undertook the practice of receiving and developing loving kindness to all beings so that his tendency to spite was completely over come.

　　 密勒日巴的母亲去世后，他的妹妹…
