用幸福为你的未来“加分”
如何面对痛苦和幸福
How to Face Sufffering and Happiness
Third: Recognize, Appreciate, and Share our Happiness
第三、拥有幸福的当下，要感知、感恩，并懂得分享。
We should contemplate: I must recognize the blessings in my life now. At the same time, I should cultivate gratitude and live a simple and unpretentious life; I should also learn to moderate my desires, be content with what I have, share my happiness, and give to the needy. A simple act of giving even in small amount can also be endowed with all the merit of the six paramitas. To give on the basis of renunciation and bodhicitta results in the accumulation of substantial merit. In this way, the mind will gradually settle down and feel free and happy. I must always remember not to be intoxicated with the few blessings I have; I must exert even greater effort in listening, reflecting, and practicing the Dharma.
还要思维：当拥有幸福的时候，一定要能感知到当下的幸福。同时要学会感恩，习惯于朴素、低调、低碳、简单的生活，并懂得少欲、知足、感恩和分享，学会布施多余的东西。虽然这只是钱财上的微小布施，但也可以同时具备六度，在出离心和菩提心的基础上做布施，可以积累很大的资粮。这样，心就会慢慢平静下来，在这个平静当中，可以感受到自由、幸福与快乐。还要随时提醒自己：我不能沉醉在这小小的福报当中，我要用更多的时间去积极闻思修行。
Unfortunately, ordinary people do not think this way. After they have attained material well-being, they are still not satisfied; not only do they not feel happiness, they try to look for other kinds of happiness. Controlled by desire, they can never attain true happiness!
可惜的是，所有的凡夫却不会这么想，当他们获得世间的幸福之后，仍然不以为足，不但感觉不到幸福，还想再去寻找另外的幸福。身体和语言被贪欲心操纵、支配着，这种人永远得不到真正的幸福！
