痛苦的根源不是感情

很多时候，

我们因为情感的付出

得不到预期的回报，

而感觉自己受伤了。

其实，不是因为

多付出才会受伤，

而是期待回报的心

让自己受伤。

所谓的感情，

只是一场交换，

一场“我执”

与“我执”的较量，

所以总是在伤害别人

或被人伤害。

痛苦的根源

不是感情，

而是我执，

只有逐步放下我执，

才能感受到真正的

自在与快乐。

---加措活佛

Many times, we felt being hurt because our feelings didn't receive the returns we expected. As a matter of fact, we are hurt not from all the efforts we have made, but from our expectations on return. The so-called feelings is only a kind of exchange, a battle between "self-attachments", therefore we constantly hurt others or being hurt by others. The root-cause for all the pains and sufferings are not feeling itself, but the self-attachment. Only when we gradually lay down the self-attachment, we will experience the real joy.
