1. 1
处理难相处又
恶心的人
一个值得反思
的故事

2. 2
Once upon a time in a peaceful village
nestled at the foot of a great mountain
there lived a kind-hearted monk named
Ananda. He was known far and wide for
his wisdom, compassion and unwavering
commitment to the teachings of Buddhism.
People from neighboring villages often
sought his advice on how to deal with
challenging situations and difficult people.
。
从前，在一座大山脚下的一个宁静的村庄
里，住着一位善良的和尚，名叫阿难。 他
以其智慧、慈悲和对佛教教义坚定不移的
奉献而闻名于世。邻村的人们经常向他寻
求建议，了解如何应对困难的情况和困难
的人。

3. 3
One day, a troubled young man named
Hiroshi arrived at the temple
where Ananda resided.
His heart was heavy with sorrow and he
poured out his woes to the monk.
“I am burdened by the presence of bad
people in my life,” he said tearfully.
“They mock me, spread lies about me
and make my days unbearable.
I don't know how to cope
with their negative ways.”
有一天，一位名叫弘的陷入困境的年轻人
来到了阿难居住的寺庙。他心中悲痛万
分，向和尚倾诉自己的苦恼。“我的生活中
出现了坏人，这让我感到很沉重，”他泪流
满面地说。 “他们嘲笑我，散布关于我的
谎言，让我的日子变得难以忍受。 我不知
道如何应对他们的消极方式。”

4. 4
The Venerable Ananda listened attentively. His
serene eyes filled with understanding.
“Hiroshi,” he began gently, “I understand your
pain but let us remember one of the
Buddha's teachings: ‘Hatred does not cease
through hatred; hatred ceases through love.’
When confronted with difficult people,
we must approach them with compassion
rather than anger.”
Hiroshi asked, “But how can I show kindness to
those who hurt me?”
His frustration was evident.
阿难尊者专心聆听。 他平静的眼神里充满了理
解。“弘，”他温柔地说道，“我理解你的痛苦，
但让我们记住佛陀的教诲之一：‘仇恨不会因仇
恨而停止；仇恨不会因仇恨而停止；仇恨不会
因仇恨而停止；仇恨不会因仇恨而停止。 仇恨
因爱而止息。”当面对难相处的人时，我们必须
以同情心而不是愤怒来对待他们。”弘问道：
“但是我怎样才能向那些伤害我的人表达善意
呢？” 他的挫败感显而易见。

5. 5
Ananda explained, “Patience and
compassion are like the lotus flower
that blooms in
the muddiest waters. Just as the lotus
emerges unblemished despite its
surroundings, we too can cultivate a
pure heart amidst negativity. When
someone behaves badly, it reflects
their inner turmoil and suffering. By
responding with love, we can help ease
their pain and encourage positive
change.
阿难解释说：“忍辱和慈悲就像莲花，在最
浑水中盛开。 正如莲花无论周围环境如何
都能无瑕显现一样，我们也可以在消极中
培养清净的心。 当一个人表现不佳时，这
反映了他们内心的混乱和痛苦。 通过用爱
回应，我们可以帮助减轻他们的痛苦并鼓
励积极的改变。

6. 6
Curious to learn more, Hiroshi decided
to stay with the monk Ananda
in the temple and
follow his teachings. Each day he
observed how the monk interacted
with others, always greeting even the
most challenging individuals with a
gentle smile and kind words.
One afternoon while they were walking
through the village, they encountered
a grumpy old man named Keshav.
出于好奇想了解更多信息，弘决定留在寺
庙里和僧人阿南达在一起并遵循他的教
义。 每天，他都会观察僧侣如何与他人互
动，即使是最具挑战性的人，他也总是以
温柔的微笑和友善的话语打招呼。一天下
午，他们在村子里散步时，遇到了一位脾
气暴躁的老人，名叫凯沙夫。

7. 7
He was notorious for his rude behavior
and harsh words which had earned him
the title of the “Village Grouch”.
As Keshav approached, Ananda
stopped and
greeted him warmly, “Greetings
Keshav! How are you today?”
The old man scowled, surprised by the
monk Ananda’s kindness.
“Why do you bother being nice to me?
Monk, I've been nothing but nasty to
you and everyone else.”
他因行为粗鲁、言语刻薄而臭名昭著，
这为他赢得了“脾气暴躁的乡村人”的称
号。 当凯沙夫走近时，阿南达停下
来，热情地向他打招呼：“您好，凯沙
夫！ 你今天怎么样？”老人皱起眉头，
对阿难和尚的善良感到惊讶。 “你何苦
对我好？ 蒙克，我对你和其他人来说
只是令人讨厌。”

8. 8
Ananda smiled, “Keshav, your pain is
evident in your actions. Instead of
responding with anger, I choose to offer
you compassion. It is through kindness
that we can heal our hearts
and find peace.”
Keshav's hardened expression softened as
he listened to the monk’s words. Over
time he started to open up to the monk and
share his life struggles.
Venerable Ananda with genuine empathy
offered a listening ear and words of
encouragement.
阿难微笑道：“克沙夫，你的痛苦从你的行为中就可
以看出来。 我不会以愤怒回应，而是选择向你提供
同情。 只有通过仁慈，我们才能治愈心灵并找到平
安。”听了修道士的话，克沙夫原本僵硬的表情缓和
了一些。 随着时间的推移，他开始向僧人敞开心
扉，分享他生活中的挣扎。阿难尊者以真诚的同情心
聆听并给予鼓励。

9. 9
As days turned into weeks, Keshav's
demeanor began to change. The anger that
once fueled his actions seemed to wane,
replaced by a newfound sense of
understanding and gratitude. He became
more considerate and helpful
to others in the village.
Hiroshi observed this transformation with
amazement and approached
Venerable Ananda.
“How did you manage to change Keshav's
heart with your kindness?” he asked.
日子一天天过去，克沙夫的举止开始
发生变化。 曾经助长他行动的愤怒似
乎减弱了，取而代之的是一种新的理
解和感激之情。 他变得更加体贴、乐
于助人。宏惊讶地观察到这一转变，
并走近阿难尊者。“你是如何用你的
善意改变凯沙夫的心的？” 他问。

10. 10
Ananda replied, “It is not solely my doing,
Hiroshi. It is the power of compassion
and non-violence that allowed him to
soften his heart and find inner peace.
When we meet hostility with hostility, it
only deepens the cycle of suffering but
by responding with love and
understanding, we plant seeds of
goodness that can blossom even in the
hardest of hearts.
阿难答道：“弘，这不只是我的事。
正是慈悲和非暴力的力量让他软化了
内心，找到了内心的平静。 当我们以
敌意对待敌意时，只会加深痛苦的循
环，但以爱和回应来回应理解，我们
播下善良的种子，即使在最铁石心肠
的地方也能开花结果。
同情
你展示了内
心的语言通
过积极分享
和生活爱。

11. 11
Inspired by the monk Ananda's teachings
and Keshav's transformation, Hiroshi
resolved to practice compassion in his
own life. He realized that dealing with bad
people did not mean seeking revenge or
avoiding them altogether but rather
engaging with them in a way that could
lead to positive change.
From that day on, Hiroshi and Ananda
continue to spread the message of
kindness and
non-violence throughout the village and
beyond.
受到僧侣阿南达的教诲和凯沙夫转变的启
发，弘决心在自己的生活中实践慈悲。
他意识到，与坏人打交道并不意味着寻求
报复或完全避开他们，而是以一种可以带
来积极变化的方式与他们接触。从那天
起，弘和阿南达继续传播善意和善意的信
息。整个村庄内外的非暴力。

12. 12
Their actions and teachings touched
many hearts and more and more people
embraced the path of compassion,
understanding that it had the power to
heal even the most broken souls. And so
the village at the foot of the mountain
became a beacon
of love, compassion and peace.
The story of Ananda and Hiroshi's
transformative journey became
legendary, an enduring testament to the
wisdom of Buddhism and the
transformative power of dealing with bad
people with kindness and compassion.
他们的行动和教诲感动了许多人的心，越来
越多的人走上了慈悲之路，认识到慈悲有能
力治愈最破碎的灵魂。 于是，山脚下的村
庄成为了爱、慈悲与和平的灯塔。阿难和弘
的变革之旅的故事成为传奇，是佛教智慧和
以仁慈和同情心对待坏人的变革力量的持久
证明。
