雨霖铃（柳永）

寒蝉凄切，对长亭晚，骤雨初歇。

都门帐饮无绪，方留恋处，兰舟催发。

执手相看泪眼，竟无语凝噎。

念去去千里烟波，暮霭沉沉楚天阔。

多情自古伤离别，更那堪冷落清秋节！

今宵酒醒何处？杨柳岸晓风残月。

此去经年，应是良辰好景虚设。

便纵有千种风情，更与何人说！

BELLS RINGING IN THE RAIN

Cicadas chill 

Drearily shrill.

We stand face to face in an evening hour

Before the pavilion, after a sudden shower.

Can we care for drinking before we part?

At the city gate We are lingering late,

But the boat is waiting for me to depart.

Hand in hand we gaze at each others tearful eyes

And burst into sobs with words congealed on our lips.

I’ll go my way Far, far away

On miles and miles of misty waves where sail ships,

And evening clouds hang low in boundless Southern skies.

Lovers would grieve at parting as of old.

How could I stand this clear autumn day so cold!

Where shall I be found at daybreak 

From wine awake?

Moored by a riverbank planted with willow trees

Beneath the waning moon and in the morning breeze.

I’ll be gone for a year.

In vain would good times and fine scenes appear.

However gallant I am on my part,

To whom can I lay bare my heart?

If I could save time in a bottle

the first thing that I'd like to do

is to save every day until eternity passes away

just to spend them with you

如果我能把时间存入一个瓶子，

我要作的第一件事，

就是把每一天都存下来直到永恒，

再和你一起慢慢度过。

If I could make days last forever

if words could make wishes come true

I'd save every day like a treasure and then

again I would spend them with you

如果我能把时间化作永恒，

如果我的愿望能一一成真，

我会把每天都像宝贝一样存起来，

再和你一起慢慢度过。

Stillness Speaks

无声胜有声

Thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and whatever you experience make up the content of your life.

念头、情绪、感知，和你所经历的一切组成了你的生命的内容

“My life” is what you derive your sense of self from, and “my life” is content, or so you believe.

你从“我的生命”之中获取自我感，而且“我的生命”是令人满意的，或者你以为它是

You continuously overlook the most obvious fact: your innermost sense of I Am has nothing to do with what happens in your life, nothing to do with content.

你不断地忽略这个最明显的事实：你内在最深处关于我是谁的感觉与你生命中发生的事毫无关系，与内容毫无关系

That sense of I Am is one with the Now. It always remains the same

那个我是谁的感觉与当下有关，它总是保持不变

In childhood and old age, in health or sickness, in success or failure, the I Am–the space of Now– remains unchanged at its deepest level.

无论是童年还是老年、健康还是患病、成功还是失败，那个我是 – 当下的空间 – 在它最深处总是保持不变的

It usually gets confused with content, and so you experience I Am or the Now only faintly and indirectly, through the content of your life.

我们常常将它与内容弄混，结果你只能隐约地、间接地，通过你生命中的那些内容，体验到我是或者当下

In other words: your sense of Being becomes obscured by circumstances, your stream of thinking, and the many things of this world. The Now becomes obscured by time.

换句话说：你对于“存在”的感觉被周围的环境、你头脑的续流和这个世界很多其他的东西所遮蔽。当下被时间所遮蔽

And so you forget your rootedness in Being, your divine reality, and lose yourself in the world

所以你忘记了你在“存在”中的根，你的神圣的实相，你在这世界迷失了自己

Confusion, anger, depression, violence, and conflict arise when humans forget who they are.

当人们忘了他们是谁，疑惑、愤怒、沮丧、暴力和冲突就产生了。

Yet how easy it is to remember the truth and thus return home:

然而，要回忆起真相，要重返家园又是多么容易啊：

I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life.

我不是我的念头、情绪、感知和经历，我不是我生命之中的内容

I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am.

我就是生命。我是那个容纳万物发生的空间。我是意识。我是当下。我是。
