與人為善

過境千帆／譯

“What shall I do to love my neighbor？”

“Stop hating yourself.”

The disciple pondered those words long and seriously and came back to say, “But I love myself too much, for I am selfish and self-centered. How do I get rid of that？”

“Be friendly to yourself and yourself will be contented and it will set you free to love your neighbor.”

“我要怎樣才能做到愛護我的鄰居呢？”

“不要討厭你自己?！?/p>

弟子將這句話很認真地琢磨了很久后，回頭問道：“可是我很愛自己呀，我既自私又自我。要如何才能改掉呢？”

“對自己友善一點，你自己心滿意足了,就可以盡情地愛護你的鄰居了?！?/p>
