    In a small village there lived a man who was always happy, kind, and well disposed to everyone he met. People knew they could count on him, and regarded him as a great friend. 

    在一個小村莊，有一個人總是快樂而熱情，和每個人和諧相處。人們知道他可以信任，把他當成好朋友。

    One of the villagers was curious to know what his secret was, how could he be always so kind and helpful? How is it that he held no grudge towards anyone and was always happy? 

    一個村民對他充滿好奇，想知道他的秘密所在。他怎麼會一直如此熱情、助人為樂
？為什麼他和每個人都毫無怨尤
，始終快樂？

    Once, upon meeting him in the street he asked him: "Most people are selfish and unsatisfied. They do not smile as often as you do; neither are they as helpful or kind as you are. How do you explain it?"
    
    一天
，那個村民在街上遇到了那個人
，他問道：“大多數人自私自利，貪得無厭。他們不像你一樣經常麵帶微笑，也不像你一樣樂於助人。這該如何解釋呢？

    "When you make peace with yourself, then you can be in peace with the rest of the world. If you can recognize the spirit in yourself, you can recognize the spirit in everyone, and then you find it natural to be kind and well disposed to all. If your thoughts are under your control you become strong and firm."

    "But a lot of work is necessary. The work is difficult and endless. There are many walls that need to be climbed. It is not an easy task." Lamented the villager. 
    
    “可是很多事兒必須得做。工作很難而且做也做不完。很多困難需要克服，這可不是件容易事兒。”村民哀歎道。

    "Do not think about the difficulties, otherwise that's what you will see and experience. Just quieten your feelings and thoughts and try to stay in this peace. All the abilities and powers awaken spontaneously."

    “不bu要yao考kao慮lv那na些xie困kun難nan，否fou則ze你ni要yao看kan到dao和he即ji將jiang經jing曆li的de都dou會hui是shi困kun難nan。使shi自zi己ji的de情qing感gan和he想xiang法fa冷leng靜jing下xia來lai，並bing盡jin量liang保bao持chi這zhe種zhong狀zhuang態tai

    "Is that all?" Asked the villager. 

    “就這些嗎？”村民問道。

    "Try to watch your thoughts and see how they come and go. Stay in the quietness that arises. The moments of peace will be brief at first, but in time they will get longer. This peace is also strength, power, kindness, and love."

    "I will try to remember your words," said the villager and continued, "There is another thing that I am curious about. You do not seem to be influenced by the environment. You have a kind word to everyone and are helpful. Yet people do not exploit your goodness, and they treat you well." 

    “我會盡力記住你的話，"村民說道，他接著問："還有一件我感到好奇的事兒。你好象並不受環境影響。你對每個人都熱情，樂於助人。但是人們並不利用你的善良，他們對你也很好。”

    "Goodness and being kind do not necessarily point to weakness. When you are good you can also be strong. People sense your strength and do not impose on you. You then act from strength and not from weakness. Goodness can also go with power and strength, it is not a sign of weakness as some people erroneously think."

    "Thank you very much for your advice", said the villager and went away happy and satisfied.

    謝謝你的建議
