Qiu's Rhetoric（35）
Ma Xiaoqiu:Disease comes from mind,and is still extinguished by mind
从某种意义上说，身体的健康程度，决定寿命的长短。每个人都想拥有健康的身体，长久的寿命。
In a sense,the health of the body determines the length of life.Everyone wants to have a healthy body and long life.
然而人究竟怎样才能真正获得健康长寿呢？曾经看到有一段文字这样写到，＂世界卫生组织总结出人的健康有三个因素：一、心理的健康；二、身体的健康；三、与人友好相处。＂在我看来，这三个因素仍然是知其然，而不知其所以然。
However,how can people really get healthy and longevity?There was a paragraph of text that read:"The World Health Organization has concluded that there are three factors in human health:First,psychological health;second,physical health;and third,being friendly with people."In my opinion,these three the factors are still known,but I do not know why.
心理怎样才能真正的健康，这才是问题的关键。佛家一语道破天机:＂万病由心生，万法由心造。＂心，是情绪的主导，怨、恨、恼、怒、烦、贪、嗔、痴、邪、慢，这些不良情绪都是疾病的因。巜黄帝内经》就有告戒我们说：＂思伤脾、忧伤肺、喜伤心、恐伤肾＂，这些都是疾病的缘起。
How can the mental health be truly healthy?This is the key to the problem.The Buddhist saying breaks the mystery:"The disease is caused by the mind,and all laws are created by the mind."The mind is the dominant emotion:Complaining,hating,trouble,anger,boredom,greed,displeased,ignorance,evil,arrogance，these unpleasant negative emotions are the causes of the diseases.The Huangdi Neijing has warned us that"Sorrow hurts the spleen;over grief hurts the Lung;over joy hurts the heart,and over panic hurts the kidneys"are the origins of the disease.
一个贪字，让我们＂病从口入＂：现代人吃喝太多，太杂。因此老子告诉我们＂余食赘行＂，意思是疾病、肥胖这些令我们讨厌的东西，都是吃出来的。所以＂菩萨畏因，凡夫畏果。＂觉悟的人从因上下功夫，不造病因，防患于未然；无智的人则从果上下功夫，疾病形成了再找方法，晚矣！
One word"greedy"lets us know"disease comes from the mouth":modern people eat and drink too much,too miscellaneous.Therefore,Lao Tzu told us that"eating too much is not conducive to action,bringing a burden to the action",which means that diseases and obesity that we hate are all eaten.Therefore,"Buddha fears the cause,and ordinary people fear the result."The awakened man works on cause,do not make the cause of the disease,prevent the disease from the being.Those who don't have wisdom work hard on the result,when the disease forms,they try to find a way to eliminate it,which is too late!
因此，疾病的形成都是心造成的，都是由心所导向的结果。既然病由心生，我们就要注重毎一个当下的心性修养，心底无私天地宽。“无我、利他、专一、守信”同样是治病的良方。病由心生，病由心灭！
Therefore,the formation of the disease is caused by the mind,which is the result of the mind-oriented.Since the disease is caused by mind,we must pay attention to a current self-cultivation of self-discipline.The selflessness make open mind."Selflessness,altruism,specialty and trustworthiness"are also good prescription to cure.The disease is caused by the mind and it is also extinguished by the mind!
