靜水 Still Water

​

每個人都像是波浪，也像是水。

有時，我們像波浪般興奮、嘈雜。

有時，我們平和得有如靜水。

當水平靜無波，就映照出藍天、白雲及綠樹。

有時，我們難免感到疲倦、躁動、不快，

需要將自己轉化為靜水。

平靜存在於每個人的內在，

只需懂得如何表露出來。

​

～一行禪師

​

Each of us is like the waves and also like the water.

Sometimes we’re excited and noisy like the waves.

Sometimes we’re tranquil like still water.

When water is calm, it reflects the blue sky, the clouds, and the trees.

Sometimes, we become tired, agitated, or unhappy

and we need to transform into still water.

We already have calmness in us;

we just need to know how to make it manifest.

​

～Thich Nhat Hanh
