70 CREATING REAL CHANGE

【创造真正的改变】

需要进行一场革命，这场革命从我们每个人的内心开始。当我们改变看待世界的方式，当我们意识到我们与地球是一体的，当我们开始以正念生活时，我们自己的痛苦就会开始缓解。当我们不再被自己的痛苦所压倒时，我们将拥有同情心和理解力，以爱和尊重对待地球。当我们在自身恢复平衡时，我们就可以开始恢复地球的平衡。对地球的关心与对我们自身及我们自身福祉的关心之间没有区别。治愈地球与治愈我们自己之间也没有区别。真正的改变只有在我们爱上地球时才会发生。只有爱才能教会我们如何与自然和彼此和谐相处，拯救我们免受环境破坏和气候变化的灾难性影响。当我们认识到地球的美德和才能时，我们感到与她相连，爱在我们心中诞生。我们想要连接。这就是爱的意义：成为一体。当你爱一个人时，你会像照顾自己一样照顾那个人。当我们这样爱时，它是互惠的。我们将为地球的利益做任何事情，而我们可以相信，她也会竭尽所能为我们的福祉做一切。

[CREATING REAL CHANGE]

There is a revolution that needs to happen, and it starts from inside each one of us. When we change the way we see the world, when we realize that we and the Earth are one, and when we begin to live with mindfulness, our own suffering will start to ease. When we’re no longer overwhelmed by our own suffering, we will have the compassion and understanding to treat the Earth with love and respect. Restoring balance in ourselves, we can begin the work of restoring balance to the Earth. There is no difference between concern for the planet and concern for ourselves and our own well-being. There is no difference between healing the planet and healing ourselves. Real change will happen only when we fall in love with our planet. Only love can show us how to live in harmony with nature and with each other and save us from the devastating effects of environmental destruction and climate change. When we recognize the virtues and talents of the Earth, we feel connected to her and love is born in our hearts. We want to be connected. That is the meaning of love: to be at one. When you love someone, you want to take care of that person as you would take care of yourself. When we love like this, it’s reciprocal. We will do anything for the benefit of the Earth and we can trust that she, in turn, will do everything in her power for our well-being.
