    Serenity of Mind

    心灵的平静

    Anonymous/佚名

    We enjoy inner peace and feel happy and satisfied when life flows smoothly and we have a good job，good relationships，good health，and our financial situation is good.When there is nothing to worry about，no tension and no hurry，we are at peace.

    In day-to-day life it is not always like this.There is always something that causes worry，tension and lack of ease，and does not let us feel peaceful.In spite of this，we can enjoy peace regardless of our outer circumstances.Peace of mind is an inner state and is independent of outer conditions.Why wait for never for circumstances to be“right”？Why rely on outside circumstances to bring us peace of mind？

    我们享受到内心的宁静，并感到快乐和心满意足时，往往是生活之河平稳地向前流淌之时，拥有一份满意的工作、良好的人际关系、健康的身体和优越的经济条件。当我们没有焦虑和压力，也不繁忙时，便会平静下来。

    一个人可能贫穷，也可能富有；可能健康，也可能患病；可能自由，也可能受约束。但内心的平静和安宁每个人都能得到。不管是奴隶，还是自由人，都可能享受到内心的平静。

    在这个世界上，内心的平静似有似无。但如果摆脱外在条件的束缚，此时此刻你就能感受到。即使是在最艰难的条件下，你仍然可以拥有内心的安宁和平静。当然，首先你要接受一些培训。

    Thoughts and Peace of Mind

    Thoughts arise in us and we think them.We may choose to ignore them and experience real inner freedom，or we may choose to water them with the power of our attention and make them grow.

    When you have to think，choose only positive，happy and uplifting thoughts.Think about and imagine only what you really and truly desire and that will come to pass.Always remember that life is shaped according to your thoughts.

    When the mind is silent there is happiness inside and happiness outside.
