The guest house 客房—接纳和宽容

THE GUEST HOUSE
 《客 房》
作者 ｜ Rumi (鲁米)

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
人生就像是一间客房
每天清晨都有新的客人来访
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
喜悦、沮丧、卑鄙
一些意识的瞬间就像一个意外的访客
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture.
欢迎并招待每一位客人
即使他们是一群悲伤之徒
来扫荡你的客房
将家具一扫而空
Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
然而你依然要照顾好每一位宾客
他或许会为你打扫
并带来新的喜悦
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.
如果是阴暗的想法、 羞耻和怨恨
你也要在门口笑脸相迎
邀请他们进来
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
无论是谁都要心怀感激
因为他们中每一位
都是上天派来指引你的向导
