34. Your Destiny is in your hands A Real-life Story 你的命运掌握在你的手中 一个真实的故事 32

35. This story is for those people who always curse their destiny for their failure and plight in their lives. However, after listening to this story you will know that in reality every human being is the creator of his own destiny. 这个故事是写给那些总是因为生活中的失败和困境而诅咒命运的人。然而，听完这个故事你就会知道实际上，每个人都是自己命运的创造者。 33

36. This is a real life story and the story goes like this: Once upon a time there was a gurukul in the middle of a dense forest in which many students studied together away from their homes for many years. ((A gurukul is a traditional school in ancient India with students living near their guru, often in the same dwelling, as a sort of family.) 这是一个真实的生活故事，故事是这样的：从前，在茂密的森林中央有一个古鲁库尔，许多学生在远离家乡的地方一起学习多年。（（ gurukul 是古印度的一所传统学校，学生住在他们的导师附近，通常住在同一个住所，就像一个家庭。） 34

37. The master would treat all the children as equal and provide them the same education. One day the master was teaching the student disciples. Just then his eyes fell on a disciple who was looking as if he did not understand anything. The master went to him and again explained to him but the student could not understand even after the master explained many times. 主人会平等对待所有的孩子，给他们同样的教育。一天，师父正在给弟子们讲课。就在这时，他的目光落在了一个一副什么都不懂的弟子身上。师父又去找他，师父讲了很多遍，弟子还是不明白。 35

38. The master suddenly got very angry and he asked the boy to show up his palm. The boy put out his palm in front of his Master. The master knew the art of palmistry. Seeing the palm of the student, the master said, “Son, you go back to your home. Don't waste your time staying in the gurukul. The disciple student asked, “Master why are you saying this?” 师父顿时大怒，要童子出掌。 男孩伸出他的手掌放在他的面前掌握。 大师精通手相术。师父见了弟子的手掌，说道：“儿子，你回你家去吧。 不要浪费时间呆在 gurukul 里。弟子问道：“师父为何如此说？” 36

39. The master replied, “Because you don't have a line of study in your hand.” Then the master called another disciple and asked him to show his palm so that the ‘unintelligent’ student could see. The master then started telling the ‘unintelligent’ student: “You see, this is the line of study. And this line is not in your hands. So don't waste your time and go back home. There you can do some other work and live your life.” 师曰：“因你手无一学。然后师父叫来另一个徒弟，让他伸出手掌，让那个“不聪明”的学生看到。然后师父开始告诉“不聪明”的学生：“你看，这就是学业。 而且这条线不在你手里。 所以不要浪费你的时间，回家吧。 在那里你可以做一些其他的工作，过你的生活。” 37

40. Hearing this, the poor sad student took out a knife from his pocket. With the sharp knife which he used to cut wood, he made a deep line in his hand. His whole hand started to bleed. Then he said to his master, “See master, I have made a line of study in my hand. Tell me will you give me education now?” 闻言，可怜的伤心学生从口袋里掏出一把刀。 用他用来砍木头的锋利的刀，他在手上划了一道深深的线。 他的整只手开始流血。”然后对师父说：“见师父，我手上做了一行学问。 告诉我，你现在会给我教育吗？” 38

41. Seeing this, the master was greatly moved. Tears welled up in his eyes and he embraced the disciple. He said, “Son, no power in the world can stop you from having an education because determination and hard work can change even the lines of the hand and eventually the destiny of a person.” So the master allowed the student to study under him. 师父见此，大为感动。 他的眼里涌出泪水，他拥抱了门徒。 他说：“孩子，世界上没有任何力量可以阻止你接受教育，因为决心和努力甚至可以改变手的纹路，最终改变一个人的命运。”于是师父就让弟子跟着他学。 39

42. It is said that the same little boy grew up and became famous by the name of Maharishi Panini who wrote the word famous grammar book “Ashtadhyayi”. It would be surprising for you to know that even after the passage of so many centuries such an excellent and complete grammar book has not yet been made in any language of the world. 据说同一个小男孩长大后以 Maharishi Panini 的名字成名谁写了著名的语法书“ Ashtadhyayi” 。你会惊讶地发现，即使在这么多世纪过去之后，世界上还没有用任何语言制作出如此优秀而完整的语法书。 40

43. Had the sage Panini listened to the words of his master on that day and believed in the lines of his hands then perhaps the world would have never known him today. But instead of relying on his destiny he trusted his determination and hard work and this made his name bright in the world. 如果当年帕尼尼圣人听了他师父的话，相信了他的手纹，或许世人永远不会认识他的今天。但是他没有依靠自己的命运，而是相信自己的决心和努力，这使他的名声响彻世界。 41

44. Do not believe that the lines on your palms are responsible for your success and failure in your life. Many great people had achieved outstanding success with their works in science, technology, the literary world etc not because of the lines on their palms. The great heights they reached are due to their determination, hard work, perseverance and the wise correct attitude in the minds. 不要相信手掌上的纹路是负责任的为了你人生的成功和失败。 许多伟大的人在科学、技术、文学等领域取得了杰出的成就，并不是因为他们掌纹。 他们之所以能达到如此高的境界，是因为他们的决心、努力、毅力和明智正确的心态。 Thomas Edison Buddha Einstein 42

45. Even failures or misfortunes had not deterred such great people. They did not quit but pursued their goals with persistence and diligence. Never believe things are fated for you. You create your own destiny. Therefore whenever you face failure in your life, learn from it … do not give up. ‘Your ‘fate’ can be altered through exercising the wise qualities in your mind. 即使是失败或不幸也没有阻止这样伟大的人。 他们没有放弃，而是坚持不懈地追求自己的目标。 永远不要相信事情是命中注定的。 你创造你自己的命运。因此，每当你在生活中遇到失败时，从中吸取教训 …… 不要放弃。 “你的‘命运’可以通过运用你心中的智慧品质来改变。 43

46. Dhamma Lessons to Learn 要学习 的佛法课程 Kamma is not Predestination or Fate. 业力不是命运或宿命。 We can change the course of Kammic results by doing more and more good deeds. 我们可以通过做越来越多的善事来改变业果的进程。 Doing more good deeds requires determination, a strong will and diligence. 多做善事需要决心、坚强的意志和勤奋。 With Metta, Bro. Oh Teik Bin 44

47. Through wholesome deeds of the mind, speech and body, may we make good kamma to end misery. 通过意、语、身的善业， 愿我们造善业以结束苦难。 With Metta, Bro. Oh Teik Bin The End 结束 45

63. EGO ~ The Foe to Conquer EGO ～ 要征服的敌人 61

64. Your ego is one of the most formidable enemies that often stands in the way of your success and fulfillment. The ego, an inflated sense of self-importance can blind you to your weaknesses, hinder your progress and prevent you from reaching your true potential. 你的自我是最可怕的敌人之一，它经常阻碍你的成功和成就。自我，一种膨胀的自我重要性感会让你看不到自己的弱点，阻碍你的进步并阻止你发挥真正的潜力。 EGO ~ Your Great Enemy 自我，你最大的敌人 傲慢的 62

65. The ego represents the self-identity you construct based on your desires, fears and attachments. It creates a separation between yourself and others, fueling comparison, judgment and a constant need for validation. Eckhart Tolle said your ego is your self-image created and maintained by your mind. 自我代表了你根据自己的欲望、恐惧和依恋构建的自我认同。 它在你和他人之间造成了分离，助长了比较、判断和持续的验证需求。埃克哈特 · 托利（ Eckhart Tolle ）说，你的自我是由你的思想创造和维护的自我形象。 Your ego is your self-image created and maintained by your mind. 你的自我是你的思想创造和维护的自我形象。 63

66. When your ego takes control, you become resistant to feedback and constructive criticism. Your ego hurts relationships, family, society and most importantly yourself. At the core of the ego lies the illusion of separation. It makes you believe that you are separate entities disconnected from one another and the world around you. 当你的自我控制时，你就会抵制反馈和建设性的批评。 你的自我伤害了人际关系、家庭、社会，最重要的是你自己。自我的核心在于分离的幻觉。 它让你相信你们是彼此独立的实体，与周围的世界脱节。 64

67. This belief fuels a relentless pursuit of personal gain and superiority which leads to conflicts, unhappiness and a sense of emptiness. To release the ego's hold, you must realize that we are all interconnected beings, part of the vast Universe of life. This awareness allows you to shift your focus from ‘me’ to ‘we’. My friend, to cultivate a sense of interconnectedness in your daily life do engage in acts of kindness ~ 这种信念助长了对个人利益和优越感的不懈追求，从而导致冲突、不幸和空虚感。为了释放自我的束缚，你必须认识到我们都是相互关联的存在，是广阔的生命宇宙的一部分。 这种意识可以让你将注意力从“我”转移到“我们”。我的朋友，为了在日常生活中培养相互联系的意识，请多做一些善事吧 ~ 认识到我们都是相互联系的生物 ...... 65

68. Volunteer your time or offer a listening ear to someone in need by extending yourself beyond your ego's boundaries. You will discover the joy of connection and dissolve the illusion of separation. Holding on to your egos comes at a great cost. It breeds negativity and limits personal growth. 通过超越自我的界限，自愿贡献出自己的时间或倾听有需要的人。 你会发现联系的乐趣并消除分离的幻觉。坚持自我会付出巨大的代价。 它滋生消极情绪并限制个人成长。 Breeding Negativity 滋生消极情绪 分离的幻觉 66

69. The need to be right, to control outcomes and to seek external validation, can leave you feeling trapped, anxious and disconnected from your true self. John O'Donoghue said the ego is the false self, born out of fear and defensiveness. The ego thrives on control. It fears uncertainty and resists change. It clings to outcomes, people and situations, believing that it can orchestrate and manipulate every aspect of life. 追求正确、控制结果和寻求外部验证的需要会让你感到受困、焦虑和与真实的自我脱节。约翰 · 奥多诺霍说，自我是虚假的自我，源于恐惧和防御。 自我在控制中茁壮成长。 它害怕不确定性并抵制变化。 它执着于结果、人和情境，相信它可以精心策划和操纵生活的各个方面。 “The ego is the false self…” John O'Donoghue – Poet and Philosopher 诗人和哲学家 掌控之中 67

70. However, this constant need for control only creates anxiety and limits your capacity to experience true freedom and inner peace. To release the Ego's grip, you must learn to surrender and trust in the natural flow of life. Imagine you being caught in a turbulent river desperately trying to swim against the current. Exhausted and overwhelmed, you finally surrender to the river's force and allow it to carry you. 然而，这种对控制的持续需求只会造成焦虑，并限制你体验真正自由和内心平静的能力。为了释放自我的控制，你必须学会臣服并相信生命的自然流动。 想象一下，你被困在一条湍急的河流中，拼命地试图逆流而上。 精疲力竭、不知所措的你最终屈服于河流的力量并让它带着你。 相信生命的自然流动 试图逆流而上 …… 68

71. In that moment of surrender you experience a profound sense of relief and trust. The river becomes your ally rather than your adversary. Observe how your ego resists or clings to situations. Cultivate an attitude of acceptance and trust in the unfolding of life. Remind yourself that true power lies in surrendering to what is rather than struggling against it. 在那投降的那一刻，你会体验到一种深深的解脱感和信任。 河流成为你的盟友而不是你的对手。观察你的自我如何抵制或坚持某些情况。 培养接受和信任生活的态度。 提醒自己，真正的力量在于屈服于现实，而不是与之抗争。 你的自我会抵制改变， 因为它喜欢待在舒适区 … 接受是关键 69

72. Attachment is a key mechanism through which the ego seeks security and validation. You attach to people, possessions and identities falsely believing that they define your worth and provide lasting happiness. However, attachment chains you to a perpetual cycle of longing and disappointment. To find true inner peace you must release attachment and embrace the inherent impermanence of life. 依恋是自我寻求安全感和验证的关键机制。 你执着于人、财产和身份，错误地相信它们定义了你的价值并提供持久的幸福。然而，依恋将你束缚在渴望和渴望的永恒循环中。失望。 为了找到真正的内心平静，你必须释放执着并拥抱生命固有的无常。 附件锁住了你 ... 为了找到真正的内心平静， 你必须释放执着 ...... 70

73. Everything in this world is subject to change. Just as the seasons change, people and circumstances evolve and resisting this reality only leads to suffering. When you cling to attachments be it material possessions, relationships or even your self-image, you set yourself up for disappointment and heartache when these attachments inevitably shift or fade away. 这个世界上的一切都可能发生变化。 正如季节变化一样，人和环境也在变化，抗拒这一现实只会导致痛苦。 当你执着于物质财富、人际关系甚至自我形象时，当这些依恋不可避免地转移或消失时，你就会感到失望和心痛。 这些物质财富值得承受所有的压力吗？ 71

74. By cultivating a mindset of impermanence, you learn to appreciate the present moment and detach yourself from outcomes. This doesn't mean that you become indifferent or disengaged. Rather you learn to cherish the beauty of each experience without clinging to it. You become like the lotus flower blooming in muddy waters, fully present and aware of the transient nature of life. 通过培养无常的心态，你可以学会欣赏当下并使自己脱离结果。 这并不意味着您变得冷漠或不参与。 相反，你要学会珍惜每一次经历的美好，而不是执着于它。 你变得像泥水中盛开的莲花一样，完全呈现并意识到生命的短暂本质。 72

75. Engage in activities that ground you in the present moment, such as meditation, yoga or observing nature. Cultivate an attitude of curiosity and wonder towards the ever-changing nature of life. Embrace impermanence as a teacher reminding you to cherish each moment and find joy in the dance of transformation. 从事让你立足当下的活动，例如冥想、瑜伽或观察自然。 对不断变化的生活本质培养好奇和惊奇的态度。 像老师一样拥抱无常，提醒你珍惜每一刻，在转变的舞蹈中找到快乐。 大自然的鬼斧神工是无穷无尽的 …… 73

76. Remember the journey towards greatness begins when you let go of your ego and embrace the transformative power of humility C.S. Lewis said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.” Also, Rumi said, “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today, I am wise, so I am changing myself.” 请记住，当您放弃自我并拥抱谦逊的变革力量时，走向伟大的旅程就开始了 C.S. 刘易斯说：“谦逊不是少看自己，而是少想自己。”鲁米还说：“昨天我很聪明，所以我想改变世界。今天，我变得聪明了，所以我正在改变自己。” C.S. Lewis – Writer and Scholar 作家和学者 谦虚而真诚的候选人 74

77. 对“自我”或“ Ego ”的妄想和执着 会导致一个人在生命之流中遭受很多痛苦。 May you be free from Suffering 愿你自由来自苦难 With Metta, Bro. Oh Teik Bin Credits Most of the textual contents adapted from “Wisdom Nuggets”, a motivational site. 75
