我們應該如何快樂？我們應該自性常常知足，所謂「知足常樂，能忍自安」。
How should we be happy? We must always be content in our self-nature, as it is
said, “Contentment brings happiness; patience leads to peace.”
知足常樂
Contentment Brings Happiness
各位善知識，Happy New Year！我也學祖教授向你們早祝新年快樂！我們新年快樂了，舊
年快樂不快樂呢？我們要年年都快樂、月月都要快樂、日日都要快樂、時時刻刻都要快樂
。為什麼要快樂呢？快樂並不是吃一點好東西，就快樂了；也不是穿一件好衣服，我們就
快樂了；也不是買一輛最漂亮的車，我們就快樂了；也不是住一棟好房子，就快樂了。
To all good friends, Happy New Year! I’m learning from Professor Zu in wishin
g everyone a happy new year in advance! We will be happy in the new year, but
what about the old year - were we happy or not? We must be happy every year, e
very month, every day, even down to every single moment. Happiness does not co
me from just eating a bit of tasty food, wearing fancy clothes, buying a prett
y car, or buying a nice house.
我們應該如何快樂？我們應該自性常常地知足，所謂「知足常樂，能忍自安」。知足常足
，我們時時刻刻都要知足。我們人比一切畜生都有智慧、有靈知靈覺，一切的一切都超
過畜生，我們這就應該知足了。知足就快樂、沒有煩惱。
How should we be happy? We must always be content in our self-nature, as it is
said, “Contentment brings happiness; patience leads to peace.” Contentment
brings abundance. We must be content with everything at all times. We humans h
ave more wisdom, intelligence, and awareness than animals. In all manners we a
re superior to animals, and so we should know to be content. Being content, we
’ll be happy and free of afflictions. (Translated by Bo Han Zhu)
