生命是如此艱困；除了慈悲，我們怎還能選擇其他？

Life is so hard, how can we be anything but kind?

惟有當自己以悲憫心來撫慰，我們的悲痛和創傷才得以痊癒。

Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.

如蛇脫皮一般，我們得一次又一次地褪去我們的過去。

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

每一個生命都免不了或多或少的憂傷。

有時候，也正是這個搖醒我們的。

Every life has a measure of sorrows.

Sometimes it is this that awakens us.

遭逢困境時，歸向慈悲與真理吧。

In times of difficulty take refuge in compassion and truth.
