Survival 生存

"We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being." (From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's facebook on November 5, 2013)

私たちは他への思いやりと同様に、知足(足るを知る)、忍耐、寛容のような内面の価値を強化する必要があります。内面の価値は、お金や権力というよりむしろ、真の友人を引き付ける愛情表現であることを念頭に置けば、慈悲は私たち自身の幸福を確保するための鍵です。(超訳)

In this world, inner values are vital for our survival and happiness. However, we also need economic values for our survival. (My commentary)

この世で内面の価値は私たちの生存と幸福に不可欠です。しかしながら、生存には経済的価値もまた必要なのです。(解説)
