痛苦喜命,是遭遇悲傷,是心靈漂泊不定河劝,是徹底的孤獨感壁榕。人世間有死亡的痛苦,有不能自我實現(xiàn)的痛苦赎瞎,有不被人認可的痛苦牌里,有愛別人卻不被愛的痛苦。人間的痛苦數(shù)不勝數(shù)务甥,在我看來牡辽,如果人們不能弄明白痛苦,則?世間的沖突敞临、苦難以及日常的腐爛敗壞就永無止境态辛。
有些痛苦,我們具有清晰的意識挺尿;還有些痛苦奏黑,我們是無意識的,表面上看不出任何根源和直接起因编矾。多數(shù)人都看得到意識層的痛苦熟史,也知道如何應對:為了逃避痛苦,我們癡迷于宗教信仰窄俏;或者把痛苦文飾得理所當然蹂匹;或者吸毒,撫慰自己的心智凹蜈,麻醉自己的肉體限寞;或者沉迷于文字概念,沉迷于嬉戲和膚淺的娛樂踪区。我們用盡所有手段昆烁,但都不能逃脫意識層里的痛苦。
此外缎岗,還有無意識痛苦静尼,千百年來人類傳承不輟。一直以來,人類不斷尋求靈丹妙藥鼠渺,以攻克這異乎尋常的痛苦鸭巴、煩惱與苦難。但拦盹,即便我們獲得了膚淺的快樂鹃祖,擁有了夢想的一切,但在潛意識深層普舆,痛苦的根源一直潛伏著恬口。所以,當探討終結痛苦時沼侣,我們是指在意識和無意識里結束一切痛苦祖能。
為了終結痛苦,我們必須保持異常清明蛾洛、異常簡單之心养铸。簡單,不僅是一種理念轧膘;要做到簡單钞螟,需要高度的智慧和敏銳。

Conscious Sorrow and Unconscious Sorrow
Sorrow is … grief, uncertainty, the feeling of complete loneliness. There is the sorrow of death, the sorrow of not being able to fulfill oneself, the sorrow of not being recognized, the sorrow of loving and not being loved in return. There are innumerable forms of sorrow, and it seems to me that without understanding sorrow, there is no end to conflict, to misery, to the everyday travail of corruption and deterioration….
There is conscious sorrow, and there is also unconscious sorrow, the sorrow that seems to have no basis, no immediate cause. Most of us know conscious sorrow, and we also know how to deal with it. Either we run away from it through religious belief or we rationalize it, or we take some kind of drug, whether intellectual or physical; or we bemuse ourselves with words, with amusements, with superficial entertainment. We do all this, and yet we cannot get away from conscious sorrow.
Then there is the unconscious sorrow that we have inherited through the centuries. Man has always sought to overcome this extraordinary thing called sorrow, grief, misery; but even when we are superficially happy and have everything we want, deep down in the unconscious there are still the roots of sorrow. So when we talk about the ending of sorrow, we mean the ending of all sorrow, both conscious and unconscious.
To end sorrow one must have a very clear, very simple mind. Simplicity is not a mere idea. To be simple demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity.
