Qiu's Rhetoric（73）
Ma Xiaoqiu:Grateful for everything,achieve the future
昨天，当我把《秋言物语》第七十二篇发在朋友圈之后，就有人问我说：“请教马总，为什么你在文章的结尾说‘感恩缘起，感恩缘份，感恩修行路上让我悟得真理的每一个人’？我的困惑是，你遇到的人当中一定不会都是善人吧？一定有伤害你的人和恶人吧？”就此问题，我在今天的《秋言物语》中回答：
Yesterday,when I issued the 72nd article of"Qiu's Rhetoric"on the WeChat to the circle of my friends,someone asked me,“Ms.Ma,why did you say at the end of your article‘That I’m grateful to the initiation of the fate,to the fate and to everyone that helped me comprehend the truth on the way of my cultivation?’My confusion is that some people you encounter must not be all good ones?Must there be people who hurt you and the wicked?”On this question,I will response today in“Qiu’s Rhetoric”:
首先，感恩之心是我们每一个人都应该具备的道德水准，也是心地善良的行为标志。问题的关键是感恩一切因缘，这一切包括好人、坏人、善人、恶人，一切众生的因缘，我从心底感恩！
First of all,gratitude is a moral standard that every one of us should have.It is also a sign of good behavior.The key to the issue is to feel grateful to all karmas,including good people,bad guys,kind-minded people and evil people.I am grateful to the karmas of all people from the bottom of my mind.
我的今天，鲜花、掌声、地位、荣誉，所有的成就都是众缘聚合而成，这其中有善缘，也有恶缘；有众多的好人，也有个别的坏人；有君子，也有小人。就人的主观愿望，都想广结善缘，与好人交往，近君子远小人，但现实中，我们有时却事与愿违地遇到恶缘、坏人和小人，怎么办呢？
All my achievements nowadays,including flowers,applause,status and honor,are the result of the convergence of the karmas.Such karmas include both good ones and bad ones;there are many good people,but also some bad guys;there are gentlemen as well as base person.There are noblemen but also villains.As far as people's subjective wishes are concerned,everyone wants to stay close to gentleman and away from the villains.But in reality,things often go contrary to our wishes,sometimes we encounter bad karma,bad people and villains.Then what should we do?
恶缘、坏人和小人，都是我们前世今生种善因或种恶因的果报，所以我们常言道“来世报和现世报”。但怎样的情况是来世报，怎样的情况是现世报呢？告诉你，天网恢恢，疏而不失，不是不报，时机未到，时机到了自然会报，这才是真理之道。
The bad karma,the bad guys and the villains are the retribution of good or bad karmas we planted in the past or present life,therefore we often say“retribution in afterlife and retribution in this life.”But how do we distinguish between retributions in afterlife and in this life?Tell you,The Skynet is wide and tight without a loss,It is not that there is no the retribution,just because the time has not come yet;and when the time arrives,retribution will fall upon corresponding people.This is the way of the truth.
真理之道，不是你信与不信的问题，这是人们对它的认知和认可的问题。认可的人，自然会从因上下功夫，种善因，绝对会得善果。不认可的人，随性而行，在不知不觉中种下恶的种子，自然会天地报应，果报现前。这叫道法自然。
The way of truth is not a question of whether you believe or not,it is a question of the people's perception and recognition of it.Those people who recognize truth will naturally work hard on the cause and plant good karma,so they will definitely gain good results;however,those people who don’t recognize truth will act following their nature and plant evil seeds unknowingly,so they will certainly have their retribution fallen upon them.This is called,“The Tao follows the nature”.
问题的关键是为什么要感恩恶缘、坏人和小人？恶缘是我们前世今生自己造就的，来了我们欣然接受，以善良的方式对待，这个恶因就此了断，将来就成了善缘，这叫转恶为善。
The key to the issue is why we should be grateful to the bad karma,the bad guys and the villains?The bad karma is made by us in our previous life and this life.When it comes,we should accept it with pleasure,treat it in a kind way,put an end to this bad karma and it will turn into good karma in future.This is called“turning bad karma into good karma”.
坏人之所以被你遇到，有两种情况，一是你的前因后果，二是你的愿力感召。有人发愿要成就一番事业，愿力越大，磨难越大，想要做好，必经魔考。坏人的出现，是增长你的善心、智慧、德性和能力的机会。小人心存不善，现实中通常会找你的软肋和漏洞，于是小人成了监督你的一双眼睛，所以在小人的帮助下你会不断完善。
There are two kinds of cases in which the bad guys are encountered by you,firstly your previous karma and consequential retribution,then your willingness to call.Someone wishes to achieve success.the greater the willingness,the greater the hardships.If you want to do well,you must pass the magic test.Bad guys provide opportunities for enhancing your kindness,intelligence,virtue and ability.The Base persons are not kind-hearted.In reality they often look for your soft ribs and loopholes,so base persons become a pair of eyes that supervise you,so you will be perfected continuously with the help of base persons.The villains are not good,in reality they usually find your soft ribs and loopholes,so the villain become a pair of eyes to supervise you,so you will continue to improve with the help of them.
因此，所有的成功都是众缘的聚合，这时方可领略到在成功面前善恶同等、好坏无别，君子小人有别之行动、无别之成就。
Therefore,all successes result from the convergence of karmas.At this time,we can appreciate that the good and the bad are equal in front of success.And there’s no difference between the good and the bad,gentlemen and villains have difference in behavior but not in aspect of achievement.
所有因缘一并感恩！
无比真挚的感恩！
纯真纯善的感恩！
不夹杂任何私心杂念的感恩！
以成功者的胸怀感恩一切！
Be grateful for all karmas!
Incomparably sincere gratitude!
Pure and good thanksgiving!
Gratitude not mingled with selfishness!
Gratitude for all with the bosom of winner!
