我们这几天一直在说，如何能去除凡夫心？如何能回归人人本具与佛同等的本性？这是这几天以来一直不断在说的。

Over these last few days we have been talking about eliminating the ordinary mind and returning to our inherent, pure nature, which is equal to the Buddha's. This has been our topic for the past few days.

所以很多的方法，除了六波罗蜜，还有四无量心。我们前面已经说过「大慈无悔」、「大悲无怨」。

There are many different methods. Aside from the Six Paramitas, there are also the Four Immeasurables Previously, we spoke of Great Loving-kindness without regrets and Great Compassion without complaints.

「慈、悲、喜」这三心，就是指引我们：当面对着人间的人事物，我们应该如何付出去造福人群？我们要有无私的心才能造福人群，所以要有永远不后悔的这念心。在苦难中的众生，如何去为众生拔除苦难？要付出很多身心的力量，劳心劳力还要没有埋怨。

Loving-Kindness, compassion and joy are attitudes we should use to face this world. They teach us how to give to people, deal with things and benefit others. We need to be truly selfless to benefit humanity. We must resolve to never have regrets as we help alleviate the suffering of sentient beings. This takes a lot of physical and mental effort, yet we must have no complaints.

大喜无忧就是
以甘愿欢喜的心
为人人付出
即使辛苦也不忧虑

Great Joy without worries is biving to everyone with a willing and happy mind. Regardless of difficulties, we will have no worries.

在众生中，我们必定要时时都能怀着欢喜心，很甘愿去做。做了之后很欢喜，这就叫做「大喜无忧」，这都是在人间付出。

When we are among sentient beings, we must always be joyful and be truly willing to give. After we act, we will be happy. This is called Great Joy without worries. It comes from giving of ourselves to others.

大舍无求就是
以三轮体空之心
看待一切
即使辛苦也不多求

Great Giving in Equanimity is without expectation. It is to regard everything with the mindset of the Three Spheres of Emptiness Regardless of difficulties, we will have no expectations.

「大舍无求」，[是说]在我们的心中，对于一切的付出，无论是造福人群或是拔苦众生，都是非常甘愿。无论在付出过程中是苦是乐，我们都很愿意去付出。

Great Giving in Equanimity is without expectations. It has to do with our state of mind. In all of our giving, whether we benefit others or relieve sentient beings' sufferings, we need to give willingly. Regardless of pain or joy, we give with great willingness.

甘愿以外，还要从内心去舍。舍得非常干净，没有「我能救人」，也没有「有人要让我救」，也没有「我救了多少人，付出多少东西」。这些执着与心念都不在我们的心中，这念心就能清净了。

Aside from this willingness, we must practice giving from our hearts, and give completely We do not think, "I can save someone." "There is someone who needs my help." "I have saved so many people." or "I have donated this much." When none of this is on our minds, our minds can be pure.

人生逆境
若能随顺而转
以大喜无忧之心
欢喜付出
自然境随心转
化苦为乐

When we face adverse conditions in life, if we can accept these conditions and engage in giving with a heart of Great Joy, naturally, our conditions will change and suffering will be transformed into joy.

有一天，「草根菩提」节目中，在北部有一位古云隆先生。他是慈诚队，也是委员，应该说一家人都是慈济人。

One day, I saw an episode of "Grassroots Bodhi" about a Mr. Gu from Taipei. He is a Tzu Chi commissioner & Faith Corps member and everyone in his family is a Tzu Chi volunteer.

这位居士小时候没办法念书，为什么没办法读书呢？他说：「我三岁时就被父母卖掉了，三百元卖给别人。每天都在做工作、耕田，什么工作都做了，这样子长大的。」

He said, "As a child, I could not go to school." Why didn't he go to school? He said, "My parents sold me when I was three." "They sold me for NT$300. I worked in the fields every day. ​​I did all kinds of work." That is how he grew up.

后来他成家了，但是也还是每天都过着如此这般的生活，后来夫妻俩相伴到北部的码头，做捆工、扛货，就是靠着搬运的工作而生活。不过他们很认真，同样这个家庭，夫妻合心协力下，无怨地过着这样的劳力生活。

He eventually married and had a family of his own, but he still worked in the fields daily Later, the couple moved north to work at the docks in packing and delivery. They made a living doing heavy lifting and worked very hard. To sustain their family, both of them did such labor-intensive work.

等到儿子、女儿都长大了之后，他们就开始投入慈济。他很认真，除了做委员、做慈诚队，他还做环保。他觉得只是这样做还不够，光是出力还不够，还发愿「我要做荣董。」

After his son and daughter grew up, Mr. Gu became very dedicated to Tzu Chi. Besides being a commissioner & Faith Corps member, he also does recycling. But he felt he could do more; he felt just contributing his labor was not enough. He vowed, "I want to be an Honorary Board Member."

但是发愿了之后，钱在哪里呢？钱就要打拼了。他说：「奇怪，自从发愿之后，菜市场的生意特别好，我的工作特别多。所以我已经完成一个荣誉董事了，现在又将要圆满第二个了。」

But where could he find NT$1 million? He had to work even harder to earn it. He said, "It's odd, ever since I made the vow, business has been especially good at the market. I've had a lot more jobs . So, I have already donated my first NT$1 million. This is my second."

儿子女儿都很孝顺，有时间都会来和他一起做慈济。太太更不用说了，太太本身也是委员。

His children are both very filial, so they volunteer with him when they have time And his wife obviously supports him. She is also a Tzu Chi Commissioner.

你看，这样的人生，这就是喜、欢喜无忧，虽然生活如此平淡，从儿时到年轻，就是靠着他的努力去付出。但是无论对于他的家庭，或是他人生的过程，在他的内心没有一个苦字。

This kind of life exemplifies joy He is happy and without worries. He has led such a simple life. Starting at a young age he worked very hard. But he does not consider his family or his life to be a source of suffering.

真的很辛劳，但是他没有苦，因为他的心境很宽阔，很能配合他的环境，所以这叫做「随缘」。

He worked very hard, but he never suffered because he has a very open mind and easily adapted to his surroundings. He truly accepted his conditions.

既然有这个因缘生在人间，家庭贫困把他卖给别人，他也能随遇而安。现在他应该能享受了，为了要做慈济，还是继续付出，所以还是很高兴他有健康的身体，他还能加入慈诚的大家庭，很多好师兄弟，他说他很快乐。在慈济的大家庭中，他觉得我们的家很大，大得普遍天下。所以他每天都很欢喜，以欢喜心甘愿去做。

Even though he was born into a poor family that slod him, he was able to accept and be at peace with whatever came his way. Now he can enjoy life. He wants to volunteer with Tzu Chi. He is very happy that he is healthy and can be part of the Faith Corps family where he found many Dharma brothers. He says that he is very happy to be part of the big Tzu Chi family. He feels this family is so big that it includes people from all over the world. So he is very happy every day and does everything with joy & willingness.

看到这样的人生，虽然在环境上谈不上富有，但是在心理上是富有的。除了心理富有，他的家庭有这么好的儿女，有这么好的太太，所以在他的生活中也是富有的。

When we look at his life, even though he is not financially wealthy, he is very wealthy spiritually. Aside from being wealthy in spirit, he also has great children and a great wife. So he lives a very enriched life.

不是富在物质，是富在生活，富在心灵，富在一家人的那分亲情。所以人生，若能利用人生，能随和环境，这样的人生没有苦。

His abundance is not material, but spiritual, in how he lives, and in his warm family ties. In life, if we can accept our circumstances and make the most of them, we will not suffer.

也有很多的富中之富。有的人物质很丰富，但是他也很富有爱心。你看，印尼这群企业家，他们每一个企业都算是集团。每个集团企业的员工，都差不多是十几万人，二十几万人的大企业。这样的大企业、大集团，这些老板在印尼，承担起慈济的志业，在很短的时间，就已经在那里做了很多事。

Some prople are the rich among the rich; they are rich not only in material wealth, but also in love and kindness. Look at the group of entrepreneurs in Indonesia Their enterprises are considered conplomerates and Their enterprises are considered conglomerates and they employ hundreds of thousands of people. These kinds of corporations are quite large. You see, the heads of these enterprises have shouldered Tzu Chi's missions in lndonesia. They have accomplished so much in such a short time.

像他们在印尼，从开头的第一颗种子，当然是台商带回印尼去，也是一位委员。那时候她（刘素美）还没有当委员，只是一位家庭主妇。

The first "seed " of Tzu Chi in lndonesia was planted by someone from Taiwan At that time, she was not yet a Commissioner, Su-mei was a housewife.

当她回到台湾知道有慈济，慈济在台湾可以安定社会，慈济在台湾能救济苦难人，慈济在台湾能及时做救难的工作。她觉得印尼的社会实在很需要，所以她发了一念心，要把这个精神与理念带过去，用心一个、一个去感动人。所以几位妇女联合起来，就开始在那里展开了慈济。

In Taiwan she learned of Tzu Chi and how it brings stability to society. Relieves suffering and helps the poor In Taiwan, Tzu Chi can also mobilize quickly for disaster relief. She felt that Indonesia needed a group like this. So she resolved to bring Tzu Chi's spirit and ideals to Indonesia and focused on changing one person at a time Several women came together and began to carry out Tzu Chi's work there.

这颗种子她们在那里，开拓、耕耘、做农夫，感动了人。在那里感动了当地的企业家，就开始出钱，让她们做救济的工作。看她们做得那么欢喜，也开始投入。投入之后才知道，原来双手把东西拿给别人，那个时候的欢喜心。

Like farmers they plowed the field, planted and cultivated the seeds of Tzu Chi in Indonesia. Their actions moved many people, including local entrepreneurs who started to donate money toward relief work. After they saw how happy the volunteers were, these entrepreneurs also joined. By doing so , they realized the joy in personally giving to someone else,

甚至他们知道，救人的事情其实是救自己，所以慢慢的，企业家们也就开始汇聚起来。

They even came to realize that, actually, in saving others they were saving themselves. Thus, these entrepreneurs gradually came together.

因为有印尼水灾这个因缘，所以慈济请企业家们回来台湾了。我用很短的时间和他们说话，他们也都听进去了。我以十分殷切的心情付托，他们接受了。

After the floods in Indonesia, I took the opportunity to invite them to Taiwan. I spoke with them for only a short period of time, but they truly listened. With great earnestness, I asked them to lead the project and they accepted.

所以当他们要离开的时候，他们就说：「师父，您所交代的『五管齐下』，没有问题。我们绝对会做好。」只是这样说而已，就回到当地去了。

Before they left, they said to me, "Master, we will carry out the five-part plan you laid out. No problem." With that, they returned to Indonesia and began the work.

开始做了，无论是消除那里的水患，他们很快地把那些水抽掉，让很多本来泡在水里的人，让那边的住户，能过着很干爽的生活。

They started by removing the water. Many areas were still submerged in floodwater. They arranged to pump out the water quickly so the residents could live in dry surroundings.

除了抽水以外，同时动员他们所有的员工，除了我们的慈济人以外，慈济人当然是一定要去的，还加派了员工，还有请当地政府的军人、警察，一起来清扫。

In the mean time, they mobilized their employees to join the Tzu Chi volunteers in cleaning up. Aside from that, they also recruited the local military and police force to clean the area together.

一边开始在抽水，快抽干了，就开始垃圾的清除。也感动了那个地方的居民，让当地的居民，自动出来协助打扫。

As the water was being pumped out, they started collecting and hauling away the garbage. Even local residents were touched by their actions and proactively joined the cleanup efforts.

所以水抽干了，垃圾清除了，接下来他们赶紧消毒。消毒好了，居住的这片土地干净多了，住的环境也感到轻松多了。

After the water was pumped out and the garbage cleared, they quickly disinfected the area. Then the whole area became much cleaner and much more pleasant.

但接下来他们还有事情要做。因为水泡了整个月，人在那里生活，环境的污染，难免人会生病，所以就赶紧举办义诊。很感恩，八个国家的慈济人会合，所以八国联心，医师以及医疗志工，从八个国家汇集起来，这样一同为这一万多人看病。

Following this, they still had work to do. While the area was under water for a month, people lived in a very polluted environment, so people inevitably fell ill. So a free clinic was quickly organized. I am very grateful for Tzu Chi volunteers from eight countries who worked together to make it possible. Doctors and medical volunteers from those countries converged to treat over 10,000 people.

接下来，慈济还要为他们建设，要建设一个能永久令代代子孙安定，不要再过着那种流浪、违建，又肮脏、又臭的生活。要从根本消除掉这种脏乱，唯一的办法就是找土地。而且要找靠近市区，他们才能生活下去。

Afterwards, we wanted to give them a permanent home so their future generations could have stability, and they wouldn't be homeless or squatters, living in filthy and smelly. surroundings. To eliminate the root of these problems, the only solution was to find a piece of land It had to be near the city so they could make a living.

所以「安身、安生」。安这个身体，又让他能安居，又让他能乐业，欢喜做事而且方便做事，安定他们的生活，这叫做安身，安定这个身体，还能安生，又能安定生活。

We wanted them to settle down and stabilize their lives. These homes would allow them to settle down and find jobs. Then they could easily and happily work, and lead stable lives. We provide them with physical safety. This brings stability to their lives so they can also find employment.

所以能让灾民安居乐业，真的是很感恩。感恩这些企业家，在那个国家，在那个社会，已经很有力量，所以他们能上达国家的元首，也能下通一切民众，所以土地已经有了，开始集合所有爱心人的力量，也已经将大爱村建设起来了。

I am very grateful Because of the status of this group of entrepreneurs in their country and society, they were able to work with top government officials and also work with the general populace. After they procured the land, they began to gather everyone's loving contributions to construct the Great Love Village.

我们可以看到那个环境，大爱村的环境、建筑，真的是很让人感到震撼，这都是在那里富中之富的人，他们付出的力量。

Seeing the surroundings and the buildings of the Great Love Village is truly inspiring. They are the evidence of the contributions made by the rich among the rich.

所以在我们的慈济世界，贫、富的人都有，有「富中之富」、也有「贫中之富」。但是我们所做的，都是为了改变「富中之贫」以及「贫中之贫」的人生，我们去付出。我们不断在社会上呼吁，甚至很多慈济人身体力行去做辅导，就是教富。

So within Tzu Chi, there are rich and there are poor, but they are the rich among the rich, and the rich among the poor. What we do is help those who are materially rich but spiritually poor and those who are materially and spiritually poor . We work with them and continually appeal to others in society to join us. Many Tzu Chi volunteers guide others by setting an example.

再来就是济贫，把一个又一个人的爱心，一直不放弃的把他们全部都启发出来。当富中之富的人愈来愈多，就能够聚集这么多欢喜的力量，去帮助急难、贫困的人。

Thus they teach the rich and help the poor. As more people's love is awakened, more people will be materially & spiritually rich. We amass the strength of joy to help disaster stricken or impoverished people.

所以大喜无忧！什么样的人都可以过着无忧无虑，很欢喜的生活。只要我们能随着这个环境，随缘，我们有多少力量就去付出，我们就可以每天都很欢喜。

Therefore, Great Joy is without worries We all have the potential to be worry-free and happy, as long as we accept our circumstances and conditions. We give whatever is within our means. Then we will be happy every day.

舍心无求
则无挂碍无烦恼
心无染方得清净

A mind of giving in equanimity is without expectations. Thus it is free of worries and afflictions. When the mind has no defilements, purity arises.

所以无论是「慈、悲、喜」，最重要的就是「舍」。我们若能舍，众生平等，都是我们的本份事，没有什么我做了多少？没有什么好贡高自大的！都没有，若是这样，我们的心天天都没有罣礙，「无罣礙故，无有恐怖」，自然就「远离颠倒烦恼」，这就是我们学佛要学的。

Whether we practice kindness, compassion or joy, giving in equanimity is most important. If we can give while seeing all sentient beings as equal, If we fulfill our core responsibilities, without thinking about how much we have done and without being arrogant about anything. If we can do this, we will mever have worries. "When there are no worries, there is no fear." Then we will be free of confusions and afflictions. This is what we need to learn from the Buddha.

各位，真的大家所做的，就是做到在外面的行为是不断地付出。我们的内心，也还是每天都很干净，都没有什么烦恼。也就是要「无悔、无怨、无忧、无求」，最高的境界就是到「无求」的境界，所以说：「人到无求品自高」。

Fellow practitioners, we must achieve a state of continuous giving. Then our minds will be pure and free of afflictions every day. ​​We must have no regrets, complaints, worries, or expectations. The highest state is one of no expectations. "One without expectations develops high character."

各位，如果我们能够付出无所求，这样我们就能慢慢离开凡夫地，慢慢接近圣人的境域。所以我们要很注意，我们的心态在日常生活中，大家要多用心啊！

If we can give unconditionally, we can slowly leave the state of ordinary people and move closer to the state of sages. So everyone, please be careful of your mindset in daily living and please always be mindful.
