◆「一旦我們開悟,更深入認識上帝以後,我們會了解到所有眾生--包括動物和植物間的相互關連,到最後,我們會看到自己存在每個地方,在所有的眾生裡面,在宇宙的每一個微粒子裡面,這時我們才能愛別人和自己一樣,因為我們知道大家同一體,否則不論別人如何勸我們,都不會讓我們擁有這種自動自發的愛和慈悲。」
"We
will see the interdependence of all beings, including animals
and plants, after we become enlightened, after we know God
intimately. In the end, we will see nothing but ourselves
existing everywhere, in each and every being, in each and
every particle of the universe. That is how we can come
to love our neighbors as ourselves, because we know that
this is us. Otherwise, no amount of talk and persuasion
can bring us to this kind of voluntary state of love, to
this automatic way of kindness."
