生命平等,在仁慈的目光里,富贵与清贫、显赫与平凡、聪慧与质朴,年轻与衰老,貌美与平凡,本无分别。不必因身居高位而傲慢,也不必因身处低谷而自卑,每个人都值得被温柔以待,每一份善念都值得被珍惜。人们总被外相迷惑,以容貌、身份、财富划分亲疏远近,生出分别与执着。放下评判,放下偏见,如同阳光普照,不挑拣山川河流;如同雨水润泽,不区分草木花卉。对亲近者善待,对陌生者友善,对曾有嫌隙者宽容,对弱小者伸出援手,对所有人都用仁爱的态度看待,不分亲疏厚薄,不偏袒。这便是平等心的修行。善待每一个遇见的人,就是善待自己。心无分别,处处皆是净土;心怀平等,时时都有欢喜。愿我们都放下执念,以平等心待人,以慈悲心处世,在喧嚣尘世中守住一份清净,在岁月流转里收获自在安宁。——加措上师 All lives are equal. In the eyes of kindness, there is no difference between wealth and poverty, prominence and ordinariness, youth and age, beauty and plainness. Never be arrogant in high positions nor feel inferior in hardship, for everyone deserves gentle treatment and every good thought deserves to be cherished. Often blinded by outward appearances, people judge others by looks, status and wealth, creating bias and obsession. Let go of judgment and prejudice, just as the sun shines over all and rain nourishes everything equally. Be kind to loved ones, friendly to strangers, forgiving to those you once disagreed with, and helpful to the weak, treating all with impartial love. This is the practice of equanimity. To treat everyone well is to treat yourself well. Without discrimination, everywhere is pure land; with equality, joy is always with you. May we let go of attachments, treat others equally, live with compassion, keep peace amid the noisy world, and find ease and tranquility as time passes.——Respected Teacher Jia Cuo
