作為與發生 

Only one who is 100 percent in doing can recognize the happening.

只有百分百投入「作為」的人，才能體認所謂的「發生」。

⋯⋯ The healthiest way to apply this knowledge is to see the whole past as happening and the present as doing. If you see the past as doing, then ego and regret come along. And when you see the present as happening, then laziness and unawareness set in. If you apply the doing for the future, it brings tension and worry. If you apply the happening for the future, it might bring some confidence and also lethargy.

運用此知識最健康的方式是視整個過往為發生，而當下為作為。如果你視過往為作為，那我執和後悔就伴隨而來；而當你視當下為發生，那就會處於懶散和無覺知之中。如果你把作為運用在未來，就會帶來緊張和憂慮，如果將發生運用在未來，可能會帶來自信，同時也可能變得無精打采。

Let the happening be for the past. Let the doing be for the present. And the future is a mix of both.

讓過去成為發生，現在是作為，而未來是兩者的混合。

 The wise will see the doing in happening and the happening in doing simultaneously. Are you confused now? (Laughter)

智者在發生之中看到作為，同時在作為之中看到發生。你被我弄糊塗了嗎？（笑）

One who does a lot of work will never say he did a lot. When someone says he did a lot of work, that means he can do more. He has not done enough.

做很多事的人絕不會說他做了很多。當某人說他做了很多工作，那表示他可以再做更多，他做的還不夠。

Work does not tire you as much as the doership does. All the talents you have are for others. If you have good voice, it is for others. If you are a good cook, it is for others. If you write a good book, it is for others. What do you do? You dont sit and read your own book! If you are a good carpenter, it is for others. So all of your talents are useful for others. If you are a good surgeon, it is for others. You cannot do your own surgery. This is interesting. If you are school teacher, it is for others. You cannot teach your own children; they don't listen to you anyway. So all your work and talents are for others.

工作不會比作為者的心態讓你更累。所有你所擁有的才能都是為了服務別人，如果你有很好的聲音，那是為了唱給別人聽；如果你是個好廚師，那是為了煮給別人吃；如果你寫了本好書，那也是為了別人。你寫書是為了什麼？不可能是坐下來讀自己寫的書！如果你是個好木匠，那也是為了別人。所以，你所擁有的才能都是因他人而有用。如果你是個好的外科醫生，那也是為了救別人，你不可能為自己開刀。這很有趣，如果你是學校老師，那是為了教別人，你無法教自己的孩子，他們怎樣都不會聽你的。所以，你所有的成果和才能都是為了服務別人。

If you don't make use of your talents, they will not be given to you again.

如果你不善用自己的才能，它們就不再賜予給你。
