1. 世间皆苦，唯有自渡。如鱼饮水，冷暖自知。

1. In this world, there is suffering everywhere, and only one can save oneself. Like a fish drinking water, only the fish itself knows whether it is warm or cold.

2. 因为十地可以转识成智，在此，关于这个问题我们就不多说了，而重点说一说，见性后如何起修，即悟后的起修。

2. Since the Ten Stages can transform recognition into wisdom, there is no need to elaborate much on this issue here. Instead, let's focus on how to begin practice after realizing one's nature, which is the practice that follows enlightenment.

3. 人生从来都没有避风港，都是风雨中成长，坎坷中前行，所有的经历，都是助你成熟的阶梯；所有的疼痛煎熬，都是让你破茧蜕变的勋章。

3. There is never a safe haven in life; everyone grows up amidst storms and trudges through hardships. All experiences are the stepping stones to your maturity; all pain and suffering are the badges of honor for your transformation and emergence.

4. 放下什么呢？就是放下你的头脑，放下你的思维！

4. What should you let go of? It's about letting go of your mind, letting go of your thoughts!

5. 这薄凉的人世间，并无舟子可以渡人，唯有自渡。你过的幸福或者不幸，没有人会在意，因为悲欢不相通，所以不会感同身受。

5. In this thin and cool world, there is no boatman to ferry people across. One must cross by oneself. Whether you live a happy or unhappy life, no one will care, because joy and sorrow do not communicate with each other, so people cannot empathize with each other.

6. 用布施对治内心的贪心，嗔心就是自己的脾气，学会控制自己的脾气，用忍辱来对治内心的嗔，痴指的是愚痴蒙昧，没有智慧，慢指的是待人傲慢，总看不起别人，疑就是怀疑，不相信别人。

6. Use giving to counteract the greed within the mind; the anger is one's own temperament. Learn to control one's own temperament, and use tolerance to counteract the inner anger. Foolishness refers to ignorance and lack of wisdom; arrogance refers to treating others haughtily, always looking down on others; suspicion is about doubt, not believing others.

7. 不过，简单熏修有许多方便法，但真正证悟须依善知识。就是说，想要真正安心，必须明心见性；想要明心见性，必须找到你的根本上师。

7. However, there are many convenient methods for simple incense cultivation, but true enlightenment depends on a good teacher. That is to say, in order to truly find peace of mind, one must understand one's true nature and see one's true self; in order to understand one's true nature and see one's true self, one must find one's root teacher.

8. 佛说：佛是过来人，人是未来佛。唯有人自悟方可成佛。万般皆苦唯有自渡，当你所遇之人伤害了你，不要悲伤不要怨恨，一切皆是缘，注定要偿还，当你所遇之事无法解决不要灰心，学会试着去接受它，因为该让你经历的早晚都要经历，何不早一步体验。

8. The Buddha said: The Buddha is a person who has come from the past, and a person is a Buddha to be. Only when a person realizes themselves can they become a Buddha. All things are suffering, but only self-redemption can save you. When the people you meet hurt you, do not be sad or resentful. Everything is destiny, meant to be repaid. When the problems you encounter cannot be solved, do not lose heart. Learn to try to accept them, because what you need to experience will eventually happen, why not experience it a step earlier.

9. 渡己是一种智慧，渡心是一场修行。风雨人生，冷暖自知，苦乐自渡！

9. Crossing oneself is a form of wisdom, while crossing the heart is a journey of cultivation. In the unpredictable journey of life, one experiences both warmth and coldness firsthand, and bears both suffering and joy by oneself!

10. 不要在乎别人爱不爱你，甚至不要在乎父母，伴侣，子女爱不爱你。不要计较别人怎么看待你，评价你，那是别人的事，和你毫无关系。也不要去管这个世界是阴暗还是光明，无论他是什么样子，你都改变不了。

10. Do not care whether others love you or not, even don't care about your parents, partners, or children's love for you. Do not worry about how others perceive you or evaluate you, as it is none of your business and has nothing to do with you. Also, don't concern yourself with whether this world is dark or bright; whatever it is, you cannot change it.

11. 在人生的道路上，每个人都是孤独的旅客。人间万千光景，苦乐喜忧，跌撞起伏，唯有自渡，他人爱莫能助。

11. On the path of life, each person is a solitary traveler. Amidst the myriad scenes of the world, the ups and downs of joy and sorrow, only one can cross their own path, and others cannot help but watch helplessly.

12. 开悟，就是自己解放自己，这一点很重要，但若要真正懂得这一道理，必须自己去亲证，必须闻而思，思而行，行而实证，因此闻思修在追随佛学的过程中起着非常重要的作用。

12. Enlightenment is about liberating oneself, which is very important. However, to truly understand this principle, one must experience it firsthand. It requires listening and contemplating, contemplating and acting, and acting with verification. Therefore, listening, contemplating, and practicing play a very important role in the process of following the teachings of Buddhism.

13. 原因有二，其一，“悟”，本身就是只可意会不可言说的东西，唯恐落于言诠。其二，避免那些自以为理论精通，而缺少实证的修者，看后自以为是，其实不是。

13. There are two reasons. Firstly, "enlightenment" itself is something that can only be perceived and cannot be expressed in words, and we fear it might fall into the trap of verbal expression. Secondly, to avoid those who think they are experts in theory but lack practical experience, who may become self-righteous after reading it, when in fact they are not.

14. 提起开悟，许多大德，善知识，都开示过这一话题，但都不通俗易懂。

14. When it comes to enlightenment, many distinguished sages and knowledgeable individuals have taught on this topic, but their teachings are not easy to understand for the general public.

15. 开悟就是见道，见道以后该怎么修呢？见道后不是什么事情都没有了，只等着成佛了，见道才是起修的开始，为什么这么说呢？因为见道后是初地菩萨，从初地到十地，还有一个慢慢征程，开悟是证悟了空理，也就是见到了真如，见到了自己生命的本来面貌，认识了真正的自己，认识了、才正是修行的好时节啊！

修行 15. Enlightenment is seeing the Way. After seeing the Way, how should one cultivate? It's not that everything is done after seeing the Way and one just waits to become a Buddha. Seeing the Way is the beginning of cultivation. Why is that? Because after seeing the Way, one becomes an initial stage bodhisattva. From the initial stage to the tenth stage, there is still a long journey to go. Enlightenment is the realization of the emptiness principle, which is seeing the true nature, seeing the true face of one's own life, recognizing the true self, and recognizing oneself is the best time for cultivation!

16. 有的人不找善知识，他们通过念佛来摄心，这也行。但没有上师，没有进入传承的人，就像一个没通电的灯泡，它是无法自己发光的。所以，单纯念佛不可能即身解脱。但念佛也很好，因为念佛易生信，有信方有度。

16. Some people do not seek out a good teacher, instead they focus their mind by reciting Buddha's name, which is also a valid approach. However, without a teacher and without entering into the lineage, it is like an unlit light bulb; it cannot illuminate itself. Therefore, simply reciting Buddha's name cannot lead to immediate liberation. But reciting Buddha's name is also good, because it is easy to cultivate faith, and with faith comes liberation.

17. 起风时，学会依风而舞，下雨时，学会自己撑伞。

17. When the wind blows, learn to dance with it; when it rains, learn to hold your own umbrella.

18. 若是真正的明空，保任它当然是最好的修。但要是你错把一种尚未验证的觉受当成明空，便可能会走上弯路。

18. If it is truly clear and empty, maintaining it is certainly the best practice. But if you mistakenly take a yet unverified sensation as clear and empty, you may end up on a wrong path.

19. 所谓先修行而后悟道，实际上这是一种误导，这是建立在“我执”上的“法执”。

19. So-called practice first and then enlightenment is actually a misdirection, which is a "conceptual attachment" based on the "ego attachment."

20. 这让我想到之前看《奇葩说》，马薇薇讲到自己因为抑郁症而难过的时候，高晓松为了安慰她说：

20. This reminds me of when I watched "The Odd One Out," and Ma Weiví said that during her depression, Gao Xiaosong comforted her by saying:

21. 因为，外界的一切都已不能污染你，不能动摇你的悟境了。这时，才谈得上“不取于相，如如不动”。不取于相，就是破除对所有名相的烦恼执著；如如不动，就是像镜子一样，外界的景象怎样变化，都影响不了你心灵的宁静。

21. For, everything outside can no longer pollute you, nor can it shake your state of realization. It is only at this point that we can talk about "not taking forms, and remaining as it is." Not taking forms means overcoming the烦恼 and attachment to all labels; remaining as it is means being like a mirror, where no matter how the external scenes change, they cannot disturb the tranquility of your mind.

22. 人生，就是从外向内的体验，凡事向内探索，才能抵御外界的各种喧嚣嘈杂，才能清理内心的杂污，心若干净，如莲盛开，花开自有蜻蜓来。

22. Life is an experience from the outside to the inside. Only by exploring inwardly can one resist the various noises and chaos from the outside, and can one clean the impurities within the heart. When the heart is clean, it blossoms like a lotus, and when it blossoms, dragonflies come naturally.

23. 我们是一个成年人了，逐渐懂得了生命的无常，也知道生活会有许许多多无法预测的苦难。在生活这场艰难的修行中，我们是亲历者也是旁观者。开心时可以大笑，伤心时也能痛哭，可无论何种境地，个中滋味都是自己在尝。

23. We are adults now, gradually understanding the impermanence of life and knowing that life will bring countless unforeseen hardships. In this arduous practice of life, we are both participants and spectators. When happy, we can laugh heartily, and when sad, we can also cry deeply. But regardless of the situation, the taste of it is all experienced by ourselves.

24. 放下对任何人的任何指望，他一个人的世界里独善其身，在充满泥泞和坎坷的生活里负重前行，默默自强，不要和别人分享你的喜悦和悲伤，不要指望别人帮助你超脱苦海，不要在乎任何人对你的任何态度，世界是自己的，和其他人毫无关系。

24. Abandon any expectations of anyone else, live for oneself in the world of one's own, carrying burdens on the path of life filled with mud and obstacles, silently strengthening oneself. Do not share your joys and sorrows with others, do not expect others to help you transcend the sea of suffering, and do not care about anyone's attitude towards you. The world is your own, and has nothing to do with others.

25. 自己不识却以假做真，从此懈怠自我的修行。倘若这样大德们岂不落一个断人慧命之过失？何况“悟”本身就是心性上的事情。是冷暖自知的事！

25. Not recognizing oneself but pretending to know, from then on becoming lazy in one's own cultivation. If so, wouldn't the great virtuous ones be committing the fault of cutting off others' wisdom life? Moreover, "enlightenment" itself is a matter of the mind and nature. It is a matter known only to oneself!

26. 愿我们历经世事磨难，懂得修复受伤的心，也能给灵魂提纯，知足知度，渡己渡心。

26. May we, having endured the vicissitudes of life, learn to mend the hearts that have been wounded, purify our souls, be content with what we have, and be able to navigate through our own lives and hearts.

27. 深以为然，即使身处逆境，也没什么焦虑害怕的，怕就怕你自甘堕落，丧失本心，从而消极悲观、止步不前，沉浸在痛苦里，自怨自艾，不愿跨出去，看那天高云淡，感受那阳光温暖。

27. I deeply agree with this. Even when faced with adversity, there is no need to be anxious or afraid. What one should be afraid of is sinking into degeneracy and losing one's original intentions, leading to a negative and pessimistic outlook, stopping in one's tracks, immersed in suffering, self-reproachful and self-pitying, unwilling to take a step forward, and watching the sky high and clouds faint, feeling the warmth of the sun.

28. 当然，现在也有好多人认为，对待欲望最好的方法，就是满足它，然后放下。但是，这就像一个人焦渴难耐，反而用海水解渴，结果如何呢？他只会越喝越渴。

28. Of course, many people also believe nowadays that the best way to deal with desires is to satisfy them and then let them go. However, this is like a person who is severely thirsty using seawater to quench their thirst; what will the result be? They will only become more thirsty with each sip.

29. 譬如自己说话时，自己做事时，则习气随之而动。被动时不动心易，主动时不动心难。若真修行之人，常见自己过。若不见自己过，则非修道人。常见自己过，以无心而化之，这便是度众生。

29. For instance, when one speaks or acts for oneself, one's habits automatically follow suit. It is easier not to be moved by the heart when one is passive, but more difficult when one is proactive. If one is truly a person of spiritual cultivation, they commonly see their own faults. If they do not see their own faults, then they are not a cultivator on the path to enlightenment. To commonly see one's own faults and transform them without intention, this is what it means to enlighten and save sentient beings.

30. 这让我突然意识到，我们正在经历一场怎样的孤独。

30. This suddenly made me realize how lonely an experience we are going through.

31. 这三点对不悟者都是秘密是明明白白告诉你的秘密，为什么这么说呢？因为你不懂，不懂就是最大的秘密。

31. These three points are secrets to those who are not enlightened; they are secrets that are clearly told to you. Why do I say that? Because you do not understand, and not understanding is the greatest secret.

32. 所谓佛渡有缘人，自己才是自己的佛，唯有相信自己，方可自己解救自己。

32. As the saying goes, Buddha saves those who have the cause. In reality, one's self is one's own Buddha. Only by believing in oneself can one rescue oneself.

33. 闻思修也称慧学，在佛教中最受重视“慧学”，如果没有闻思修，就看不懂，思索不了、修行中所发生的问题。就不会升起疑情。就无法观察出问题。

33. Hearing, contemplating, and practicing (also known as the study of wisdom) is also referred to as "wisdom studies" in Buddhism, which is the most highly valued among all wisdom studies. Without hearing, contemplating, and practicing, one cannot understand, ponder, or address the issues that arise during practice. One will not be able to cultivate doubt, and thus, cannot observe the problems.

34. 这不是一种作意的宁静，而是一种自然而然的生命状态。

34. This is not a tranquil state achieved through effort, but a natural life condition.

35. 开悟的人也就有了佛菩萨普度众生的法药了，开悟的人讲经说法才能够合乎四依法的标准，所以开悟的人悟道了能度众生。

35. Those who have awakened to enlightenment have also obtained the method and medicine for the Buddha and bodhisattvas to save all sentient beings. Only those who have awakened can expound scriptures and teachings in a way that conforms to the standards of the "Four Established Truths," thus those who have realized enlightenment are capable of benefiting sentient beings.

36. 你那些激动人心的喜悦，在别人看来，或许是一种炫耀和自以为是；你惊心动魄的伤痛，在别人眼里，或许只是随手拂过的尘埃。没有人会因为你的成就而眉开眼笑，他们会更加嫉妒和讨厌你，因为没有人希望别人比自己过的好。没有人会因为你的失败而心生同情，他们会更加嫌弃和疏远你，因为没有人愿意和落魄的人为伍。

36. The thrilling joy you experience may seem like boasting and arrogance to others; the heart-wrenching pain you endure might just be a dust particle swept aside in someone else's eyes. No one will smile with delight at your achievements; instead, they will be more envious and dislike you, for no one wishes to be outshone by others. No one will feel sympathy for your failures; they will be more contemptuous and distant, as no one wants to be associated with someone in a downfall.

37. 工作失意时，远方的朋友也不能分担心里的焦虑；

37. When one is disappointed in their job, even friends from afar cannot share the anxiety in their hearts.

38. 世上没有不带伤的人，真正能治愈自己的，唯有你自己。”

38. There is no one in the world who does not have wounds, and the only one who can truly heal yourself is you."

39. 所以，佛说，一个善知识是你梵行生活的全部。人身难得，善知识更难得。善财童子五十三参，就是在找能让自己明白的善知识。

39. Therefore, the Buddha said, a good friend is the whole of your spiritual life. It is rare to be reborn as a human being, and even rarer to meet a good friend. The fifty-three visits of the Youth of Great Wealth are to find a good friend who can enlighten him.

40. 人生是一场修行，起起落落间，体会世间百态，感知岁月沧桑。生活给予的酸甜苦辣咸，只能自己品尝。

40. Life is a journey of cultivation, experiencing the ups and downs, tasting the myriad flavors of the world, and sensing the vicissitudes of time. The bitter, sweet, sour, spicy, and salty provided by life can only be tasted by oneself.

41. 开悟的那一刻，你会像瞎子见到光明一样，见到这个世界的真相，拥有一种正见。

41. At the moment of enlightenment, you will see the truth of this world as a blind person sees light, and possess a right view.

42. 开悟的人，会很自信，因为他找到了生命的根。所谓自信，就是对自我生命的本体认识与毫无疑惑的确信。自信不是给别人看的，自信是不需要被证明，自信与外在无关，用禅宗六祖慧能的话就是：“能善分别诸法相，于第一义而不动”。

42. An enlightened person will be very confident, because they have found the root of life. Confidence, in this sense, refers to the profound understanding and unwavering certainty of one's own life essence. Confidence is not for others to see; it does not require proof, and it has nothing to do with the external world. In the words of the Sixth Patriarch of Chan Buddhism, Huìnéng: "One who can skillfully differentiate the nature of all phenomena remains undisturbed in the ultimate truth."

43. 你的喜悦可能会刺激着别人的悲痛，你的伤心也许会淹没在欢声笑语之中，你引以为豪的成就在别人看来或许微不足道，你撕心裂肺的难过也没有谁可以代替你承受。

43. Your joy may be刺激刺激 others' sorrow, your sadness may be overwhelmed by laughter and joy, the achievements you are proud of may seem trivial to others, and the heart-wrenching pain you feel cannot be endured by anyone else.

44. “利奇马”刚来上海的时候，安娜刚结束她上一段恋情，相爱四年，在周年纪念日前一天发现男友出轨。分手后回家舔舐伤口又得知妈妈生了重病。爱情和亲情的双重打击一下子让她原本美满的生活变得沉默而晦暗。

44. When "Lijima" first arrived in Shanghai, Anna had just ended her last relationship, which lasted for four years. On the day before the anniversary, she found out that her boyfriend had been unfaithful. After the breakup, she went home to heal her wounds and then learned that her mother had fallen seriously ill. The double blow of love and family suddenly turned her once happy life into a silent and gloomy one.
