10 Stop First

【先停下来】

如果我们不能休息，那是因为我们还没有停止奔跑。我们从很久以前就开始奔跑了。我们继续奔跑，甚至在我们睡觉时也是如此。我们认为在当前幸福和福祉是不可能的。如果你能停下来，确立在此时此刻，你会发现此刻有很多幸福的元素可供享用，足够你感到快乐。即使当前有一些你不喜欢的事情，仍然有很多积极的条件使你快乐。当你在花园散步时，你可能会看到一棵树正在死去，因此你感到悲伤，无法享受花园中其他仍然美丽的部分。如果你再次观察，你可以看到花园依然美丽，你可以享受它。

[Stop First]

If we can’t rest, it’s because we haven’t stopped running. We began running a long time ago. We continue to run, even in our sleep. We think that happiness and well-being aren’t possible in the present. If you can stop and establish yourself in the here and the now, you will see that there are many elements of happiness available in this moment, more than enough for you to be happy. Even if there are a few things in the present that you dislike, there are still plenty of positive conditions for your happiness. When you walk in the garden, you may see that a tree is dying and so you feel sad and aren’t able to enjoy the rest of the garden that is still beautiful. If you look again, you can see that the garden is still beautiful, and you can enjoy it.
