67 RESTORING BALANCE

【恢复平衡】

地球过去经历了许多苦难，但她设法恢复了过来。她经历了与其他行星、陨石和小行星的碰撞等自然灾害，以及严重的干旱、森林火灾和地震。然而，她在这些事件之后都能够恢复。现在我们通过污染大气、使地球变暖和毒害海洋，给地球带来了如此大的压力，以至于她无法自愈。地球失去了她的平衡。我们失去了与地球及其自然节奏的联系。我们所有人都必须为地球上正在发生的事情承担责任，看到我们在这一过程中的角色，并知道该做什么来保护地球母亲。

我们不能仅仅依靠地球来照顾我们；我们也需要照顾她。除非我们恢复地球的平衡，否则我们将继续造成破坏，地球上的生命将难以继续。我们需要意识到，帮助恢复必要平衡的条件来自我们内心，来自我们的正念，我们的意识水平。我们自身觉醒的意识是能够治愈地球的力量。

[RESTORING BALANCE]

The Earth has already experienced a lot of suffering in the past from which she has managed to recover. She has experienced natural disasters such as collisions with other planets, meteorites, and asteroids, as well as severe periods of drought, forest fires, and earthquakes. Yet she has been able to restore herself after all these events. Now we are putting so much strain on the Earth by polluting the atmosphere, warming the planet, and poisoning the oceans, that she can’t heal on her own. The Earth has lost her equilibrium. We have lost our connection with the Earth and her natural rhythms. All of us have to accept responsibility for what is happening to the Earth, see our role in this process, and know what to do to protect Mother Earth.

We can’t just rely on her to take care of us; we also need to take care of her. Unless we restore the Earth’s balance, we will continue to cause destruction, and it will be difficult for life on Earth to continue. We need to realize that the conditions that will help to restore the necessary balance come from inside us, from our own mindfulness, our own level of awareness. Our own awakened consciousness is what can heal the Earth.
