除了当下，哪有过去与未来？

Buddhism places emphasis on going with the flow and living in the moment. We should not become overly attached to the past and future but live perfectly in the present. Our suffering is unrelated to spirits or the Creator; it is only the result of our ego-clinging. If we let go of attachment to the self, we will instantly feel relaxed and at ease, free of suffering.

佛教主张顺其自然，活在当下。也就是不要过度执著于过去与未来，要完美地活在当下。要知道，我们的痛苦和鬼神、造物主都无关，只与自己的执著有关。如果放下执著，立即就能感到轻松自在，痛苦当下就消失了。

The sutras also state that many bodhisattvas in the past manifested as rulers in order to enlighten beings while staying free from attachment at the same time. Mainly, by letting go of attachment, they became selfless and worked completely for the benefit of all living beings.

佛经当中也讲过：过去的很多佛菩萨为了度化众生，也会示现国王的身份，但同时又是一个不执著、能放下的人，两者都能圆满兼顾。因为放下以后，没有自私自利的心，所作所为都是为了利益一切众生。

Can ordinary people learn to let go? With special practice, it is definitely possible.

那么，普通人也能做到不执著么？通过一种特殊训练，想突破执著的层面，是绝对可以办到的。
