In a serene forest, a young Truth seeker named Ravi
embarked on a journey to find Enlightenment.
Guided by his deep longing for inner peace, he
arrived at a secluded monastery where a renowned
Buddhist master named Ajahn Nanda resided.
Eager to learn from the wise, the young Ravi
approached Ajahn Nanda and humbly
requested his guidance. The master welcomed him
with a warm smile and invited him to sit beneath a
towering Bodhi Tree.
在一片宁静的森林里，年轻的求真者拉维踏
上了寻找真相的旅程启示。在他对内心平静
的深深渴望的指引下，他来到了一个僻静的
寺院，那里是一位名叫阿姜南达的著名佛教
大师的住所。渴望向智者学习，年轻的拉维
(Ravi) 谦虚地接近阿姜南达 (Ajahn Nanda)
请求他的指导。 上师以温暖的微笑迎接
他，并请他坐在一棵参天大树下。

3. 3
As the sun began to set, casting a
golden glow over the landscape,
Ajahn Nanda began to share his
teachings. He spoke of the
impermanence of life, the
importance of mindfulness and
the path to Liberation from
suffering.
Amidst their conversation, Ajahn
Nanda noticed Ravi's restless
spirit, sensing his inner turmoil.
当太阳开始落下，金色的光芒笼罩大地
时，阿姜南达开始分享他的教法。 他谈
到了生命的无常、正念的重要性以及从痛
苦中解脱的道路。在他们的谈话中，阿姜
南达注意到拉维焦躁不安的精神，感觉到
他内心的骚动。

The master decided to impart a
profound lesson. He reached into his
robe and presented Ravi with a
delicate lotus flower.
“Observe this flower Ravi,” the master
said gently. “It is born in muddy
waters and yet it emerges untouched,
pristine and beautiful. The lotus
teaches us the wisdom of letting go.”
Ravi stared at the Lotus, captivated by
its elegance and the profound
meaning it held.
师父决定给予深刻的教训。 他把手伸进
长袍里，递给拉维一朵精致的莲花。“观
察这朵拉维花，”大师轻轻地说。 “它诞
生于泥泞的水域，但它原封不动地出
现，原始而美丽。 莲花教导我们放下的
智慧。”拉维凝视着莲花，被它的优雅和
它所蕴含的深意所吸引。

5. 5
The master continued, “Just like
the lotus, we must learn to detach
ourselves from the turbulences of
life by embracing impermanence
and letting go of attachments. We
will find true serenity as the days
turn into weeks.”
Ravi immersed himself in the
teachings of Ajahn Nanda.
上师继续说道：“就像莲花一样，
我们必须学会拥抱无常，放下执
着，从而远离生活的纷扰。 随着
日子变成几周，我们会找到真正
的平静。” 拉维沉浸在阿姜南达
的教导中。
Impermanence
无常

6. 6
He practiced meditation, cultivated
mindfulness and gradually learned
the art of letting go. Over time,
Ravi experienced a profound
transformation within himself. He
realized that clinging to desires
and resisting change only brought
suffering. By embracing
impermanence and letting go, he
discovered a deep sense of peace
and liberation.
他练习冥想，培养正念，并逐渐学
会了放下的艺术。 随着时间的推
移，拉维经历了内心的深刻转变。
他明白，执着于欲望，抗拒改变，
只会带来痛苦。 通过拥抱无常和放
下，他发现了一种深刻的和平与解
脱感。

Ravi emerged from the
monastery as a beacon of
wisdom and serenity. His
journey had taught him the vital
life lesson that true peace
comes from letting go of
attachments embracing the
ever-changing nature of
existence and finding solace in
the present moment.
拉维从修道院中走出来，
成为智慧和宁静的灯塔。
他的旅程教会了他重要的人生一
课，即真正的平静来自于放下执着，
拥抱存在不断变化的本质，
并在当下寻找慰藉。

1 Throw Things Away
Check heavy things and burdens we carry from the past
and throw them away.
Let go of our worries over the future or our complaining,
criticizing, condemning and cursing mind.
放手的四种方式
From a Post by Chew Wei Heng based on a Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Brahm
1 把东西扔掉
检查我们过去携带的重物和负担并将其扔掉。
放下对未来的忧虑，放下抱怨、
批评、谴责、咒骂的心。

2 Be Content
Change our attitudes to: “I am happy and content to
be where I am” instead of
“I am dissatisfied; I want to be somewhere else.”
2 知足
改变我们的态度：“我很高兴并且满足于我现在的位置”而
不是 “我不满意； 我想去别的地方。”
知足是最大的财富 - 佛陀

3 Giving More
Practice Giving, expecting nothing in return. The more
expectations we have, the less we can enjoy the things
we already have, the circumstances we are blessed with.
The more the expectations,
the more likely the mental dis-ease.
3 给予更多
练习给予，不求回报。 我们的期望越多，我们就越无法享受我
们已经拥有的东西和我们所拥有的环境。
期望越大，精神上就越容易受到痛苦。
简单地生活，珍
惜你所拥有的。
给更多。 期待
少。

4 Have a Teflon mind
Do not let useless thoughts or knowledge stick to
our mind. They will bring you needless suffering.
Don’t allow knowledge and thoughts based on
Wrong View stand in the way of Truth.
4 拥有铁氟龙头脑
不要让无用的想法或知识粘在我们的脑海里。
他们会给你带来不必要的痛苦。 不要让基于邪见的知
识和思想挡住真理的道路。

当我们的贪、嗔、痴被抛弃时，
我们将证得无量日涅盘之乐
