Potential to good 善への可能性

"Mentally, physically and emotionally we are the same. We each have the potential to good and bad and to be overcome by disturbing emotions such as anger, fear, hatred, suspicion and greed. These emotions can be the cause of many problems. On the other hand if you cultivate loving kindness, compassion and concern for others, there will be no room for anger, hatred and jealousy." (From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's facebook on October 14, 2013)

精神的、感情的、肉体的に私たちは同じです。私たち各々が善悪の可能性と、強欲、疑い、恐れ、怒り、憎しみなどの煩悩を克服する可能性を持っています。これらの感情は、多くの問題の原因に成り得ます。一方、もしあなたが慈しみ、思いやり、他への気遣いを育むならば、怒り、憎しみ、嫉妬の余地はなくなるでしょう。(超訳)

In order to eliminate disturbing emotions, we have to remove ignorance of the ultimate reality of interdependence. In order to cultivate compassion, we have to master wisdom of the ultimate reality of interdependence. (My commentary)

煩悩を滅却するためには、相互依存という究極真理の無知を取り除く必要があります。慈悲心を育むためには、相互依存という究極真理の智慧を習得する必要があります。(解説)
