Fourth Stage: Methods For Overcoming Suffering

第四个阶段：解决痛苦的方法

There are some therapeutic methods in psychology which I have some knowledge of. I personally feel that these methods are helpful to some people by allowing them to relax, but these are only temporary solutions and cannot cure the problem conclusively.

我也了解过一点儿心理学的治疗方法。我个人认为：虽然那些方法对有些人有帮助，可以让当事人暂时轻松一点，但终归是临时性的帮助，而不是行之有效且一劳永逸的办法。

According to one psychiatrist, when a patient is suffering from marital problems, he tells the patient to imagine putting the spouse in a chest or bag, locking it up, and throwing it out of the window of a tenth-floor apartment; then imagine the spouse no longer exists and has disappeared from this world as well as from his or her life. This makes it easier psychologically for the patient to leave the spouse and let go. The method may also be repeated when problems arise again. Although this method sounds quite funny, it does help alleviate stress for some people. But it cannot get to the root of the problem.

有一位心理医生说：有人因为婚姻问题而痛苦时，他会告诉当事人，想象把对方装在一个箱子或口袋里，关严上锁以后，从十几层楼上的窗户扔出去，然后想象这个人再也没有了，从这个世界、从自己的生活中消失了，这样心里也就比较容易离开对方、放下对方。再出现问题时，又故技重施。这个办法虽然看起来很好笑，但对有些人还是有一点缓冲高压的作用，却不能解决根本问题。

When ordinary people encounter suffering, their first reaction is always to eliminate or uproot suffering presumed to come from the world outside. However, for ordinary people, some things cannot be overturned and uprooted; all they can do is to find whatever measures are available to deal with the problem at hand, to varying degree of success depending on the situation.

凡夫总是这样，每当遇到痛苦时，第一个反应，是想把外在世界的痛苦连根拔掉，但对凡夫而言，有些东西是无法推翻和断除其根源的，只有兵来将挡、水来土掩，用卓有成效的不同方法去面对。

The Buddhist methods for overcoming suffering are essentially of two kinds: one is from the viewpoint of relative truth; the other is that of ultimate truth.

佛教解决痛苦的方法，可以分为两种：一是从世俗谛的角度来解决；二是从胜义谛的角度来解决。
