My question to myself is how have I decided to call anything loss？

　　That presupposes what ever has been called loss belonged to me.

　　I did not bring anything into this world that entitles me to anything. Whatever I receive is a blessing, even pain. I have been privileged to have temporary possession of many things but I am under no illusion that they are mine.

　　If they go away I must understand how blessed I was to have enjoyed them for a time. Buddhism has given me this frame of mind and as long as it stays with me I will enjoy freedom from much concept and arrogant pride.

　（我問我自己，該如何定義「失去」的意義？

　　這個前提是：「我必須擁有，才會失去。」

　　當我來到這個世界，什麼也沒有帶來。是這個世界讓我享有一切。我在此所得的一點一滴都是一種福報，就算是痛苦也是。能夠暫時擁有這一切，已是福澤，但我明白，它們並不真正屬於我。就算失去它們時，我也明白，曾經擁有，這是何等的福報。

　　「既未得之，何失之有？」佛法教導我們用這樣的心態看待世界，只要保有這種心境，就能時時自在，不為妄想、驕慢所覆蔽。）
