智慧的火花产生于宁静的心态
Practice to Attain Liberation
（二）加强训练，走向解脱
In our present society, everyone is under stress. How we resolve our stress is a pressing and serious question for study.
现代社会的人，不可能没有压力。如何缓解压力，就成为一个迫切而严峻的课题。
Although there are many methods in Buddhism, we will only discuss those methods that relate to concepts we have touched on.
对此，佛教有很多方法，此处只讲与前面的理论相关的一部分。
Ordinarily, when we talk or go for a walk, our mind is filled with a whole range of distractions. When we cannot concentrate or stay focused, it is difficult for wisdom to arise. It is only after subduing the mind, when it becomes clearer and sharper, that our thinking is more focused and more effective in problem solving. This includes problems connected with running a business and earning money.
平时谈话、走路等等的时候，我们的意识和情绪的波动相当大，散乱且零碎，不能做到全神贯注。在这种情况下，意识很难产生智慧的火花。只有将内心起伏动荡的波澜降到比较平静的状态，当内心显得比较清晰与敏锐以后，思维才会更有效率，这样才能更专注、更完善地去思考一些问题。包括如何做生意，怎么去赚钱，如何处理各种问题等等。
Actually, many of the exciting discoveries made by scientists and philosophers in the past came during meditation and in their dreams. In no case did it happen when the mind was agitated or in states of discursiveness.
实际上，过去很多科学家、哲学家的那些令人兴奋的发明，也是在打坐、做梦的情况下诞生的，没有一个是在心绪不安、胡思乱想的情况下创造的。
