生活是罪惡嗎?

 

   生活就本身而言並非罪惡‧

但是在生活中的迷惑和對盲目的執著卻是罪惡的，這也讓人隨時處在危險的狀況下。

而這樣的生活亦導引著人類因無知而走向墮落‧

從慾望和渴求中釋放出來才能得到真正的自由，

這並非讓我們逃避外在世界，

但免流於俗世是卻是絕對必要的。

Is Life Evil?

 

Life as such is not an evil. But the evil consists in the delusion and blind attachments in which life is involved, and the danger to while life leads man, viz., getting into worse states through ignorance than he is at any one time. Life free from desires or passions of all kinds is not evil. It is not escape from the world, but

freedom from worldliness that is necessary.
