聽神談【領會和看待「死亡」的真相】
死亡從來不是個悲劇，它永遠是個禮物。
(Death is never a tragedy. It is always a gift.)
如果你能領會到關於死亡這(死亡從來不是個悲劇而是個禮物)是真實的，你會很快就領會到關於生命中每一個事件(都是個禮物)，是真實的。
如果你能把每個死亡看作禮物而非悲劇，你便能把你人生中的每一件事——每一個「小的死亡」……所有別人對你所做的壞事，以及你對別人所做的——也看作禮物。那麼，就不會再有悲傷了。
當你安然地看待你的「死亡」，你便也讓他人安然地看待你的死亡——小的死亡和大的死亡。
摘自《與神談生死》第８章
Death is never a tragedy. It is always a gift.
Focus on this now. Focus just on this event that you call "death."
Because if you can see this is true about death, you will soon be able to see that this is true about every other event in life.
And if I can see even death as a gift rather than a tragedy, then I can see everything else in my life--the "little deaths"--as a gift as well…all the so-called bad things that have been done to me, or that I have done to someone else. And then, there will be no more sorrow.
When you live all your "deaths" well, you let others live WITH your deaths well. The little ones, and the big one.
