Let the Christ Spirit Shine!
发扬基督的精神
(Originally in English)
Jesus was born at Christmas so that you give each other something each year at Christmas. You can do it any day, or make an excuse even. Or your birthday, instead of asking people to buy presents for you, buy presents for the poor people that you know. At Christmas, instead of waiting to get presents, buy presents for people that you know, on the street even, or people you don't know, also. If you go out and seek out the
homeless, give them presents. That's the best Christmas.
圣诞节是耶稣的生日,所以每年你们会买东西送别人,事实上每天你都可以这样做,甚至你可以特地找个借口来这样做。像你过生日的时候,与其要别人买礼物给你,不如自己买礼物送给那些你知道的穷人。圣诞节的时候,等别人买礼物送你,还不如主动买礼物送给你认识的人,甚至送给在街上那些你不认识的人。如果你去找出那些无家可归的人,送他们一些礼物,那就是一个最美好的
圣诞节了。
That's why people buy gifts for Christmas to celebrate the love that Christ has imparted to us, to celebrate the unconditional way He sacrificed for mankind. So we can do that on any occasion to remind ourselves of the
loving-kindness within us.
所以圣诞节时,人们才要买礼物,庆祝耶稣基督给我们的爱,庆祝他那种无条件为人类牺牲的精神,我们可以随时随地做同样的事,并提醒自己想起我们内边本来就拥有的爱力与慈悲心。
Hug your colleague! Tell her she is good, she is okay, because she sometimes has an inferiority complex; has a problem of her own. Forgive the one who always hates you and picks on you - buy her a present,
compliment her on her dress, make her feel happy as a human being. They can hate you, they can make trouble for you, but you have to always be kind and
loving. Their way is hatred and revenge; your way is kindness and love. We have to choose our own way despite the situation.
你们也可以给你的同事一个拥抱,告诉他他很好、做得不错,因为他可能有自己的烦恼或自卑感。原谅那些一直讨厌你、挑剔你的人,买个礼物送他,称赞他的衣着,让他高兴。他们可能讨厌你,可能曾替你带来很多麻烦,但你还是要时时保持和善与爱心,因为他们的做事方式是仇恨与报复,但你的方式是和善与爱心。不管我们处在什么环境,都要选择属于自己的方式。
