一定要回归光明

痛苦，其实只是纸老虎

Suffering is just a Paper Tiger

ERADICATING SUFFERING

二、消灭痛苦的途径

Returning to Clarity

（一）回归光明

Firstly, Buddha Sakyamuni did not deny that material things can resolve a lot of suffering. When we do not have food to eat or clothes to wear, material goods are of primary importance. However they cannot solve all our problems. I believe all of us in the twenty-first century are increasingly clear on this point. Hence, in the end we still need to return to the tranquil surface of the ocean; we need enlightenment. With enlightenment, we can eradicate all our suffering.

首先，释迦牟尼佛也不否认，物质可以解决很多的痛苦。当我们没有饭吃，没有衣服穿的时候，最重要的就是物质。但物质却不能解决所有的问题。身为二十一世纪的人，想必大家已经越来越感觉到这一点。所以，最终我们还是要回到静静的海面，要觉悟。觉悟以后，所有的痛苦都可以烟消云散。

What is enlightenment? It is returning to clarity. Starting out from clarity, we experience ignorance, attachment, afflictions, karmic creation, and suffering. In the end when ultimate realization is attained, we return to the original clarity and complete a full circle.

觉悟是什么？就是回归光明。我们从光明当中出来，经历了无明、执著、烦恼、造业、痛苦，走了一圈，最后证悟的时候，还是要回到原来的光明当中。

Ch’ an Buddhism calls this our original face as the nature of mind has always been this way, whether we are angry, greedy, happy, or worried; it never changes.

禅宗称之为本来面目。为什么叫本来面目呢？因为我们的内心本来如此，无论我们生气、贪婪、开心还是焦虑，它的本性永远都是这样，从来未曾改变。
