"不是通过仪式和决心,不是通过大量学习,不是通过独身,甚至不是通过冥想,你可以找到至高无上的、不朽的涅槃之乐,直到你熄灭了你的自我意志。"
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
To truly find deep peace and happiness, we need to let go of our ego and selfish desires. Just performing religious rituals, making resolutions, studying a lot, living a celibate life, or meditating extensively isn't enough. The core idea is about the need to overcome selfishness and ego to achieve true spiritual fulfillment or nirvana. For instance, imagine a person who does a lot of good deeds just to look good or feel superior. Even though their actions seem positive, their intentions are driven by ego. True joy and inner peace come when actions are selfless, done without seeking personal gain. Applying this in life means focusing less on ego-driven goals and more on genuine kindness and humility.
