Summary of the book of "Way of the Peaceful Warrior"

·         Understanding is one dimensional. It is the comprehension of the intellect. It leads to knowledge, which you have. Realization, on the other hand, is three dimensional. It is the simultaneous comprehension of the 'whole-body'---the head, heart, and physical instincts. It comes only from clear experience.

了解是智力单一面向的理解，它带来知识；

领悟则是头脑、心灵和本能三个面向同时都能理解。

只有直接的经验才能让人有所领悟。

·         You must appreciate that a secret's value is not in what you know, but what you do with what you know.

秘密的价值不在于你所知道的事，而在于你所做的事。

·         "Use whatever knowledge you have but see its limitations. Knowledge alone does not suffice; it has no heart. No amount of knowledge will nourish or sustain your spirit; it can never bring you ultimate happiness or peace. Life requires more than knowledge; it requires intense feeling and constant energy. Life demands right action if knowledge is to come alive.

尽量使用你拥有的任何知识，可是要看出它们的限制。

光有知识还不够，知识没有心。

再多的知识也不能滋养或支掌你的心灵，它永远也无法带给你终极的幸福或平静。

生命所需要的不仅是知识而已，还得有热烈的感情感觉和源源不绝持续不断的能量。

生命必须采取正确的行动，才能让知识活过来。

·         Only the supremely wise and the ignorant do not alter.

唯上智与下愚不移。

·         The word disillusion is literally a 'freeing from illusion'.

幻灭的意思是“脱离幻想”。

·         If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold onto it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change, free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.

你如果得不到想要的东西，就会受苦；

得到不想要的东西，也会受苦；

就连得到你正好想要的东西，仍然会受苦，因为你无法永远拥有它。

你的心智就是你的困境。它想要免于改变，免于痛苦，免于生与死的必然性。然而，改变是一项法则，在怎么假装，都不能改变这个事实。

·         Life is not suffering; it's just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind's attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.

生命并不是苦难，你会因它而 苦，而非因它而乐，除非你挣脱内心的执念，不论发生什么事，只管自由自在、卸风前行。

·         'Mind' is an illusory outgrowth of basic cerebral processes. It is like a tumor. It comprises all the random, uncontrolled thoughts that bubble into awareness from the subconscious.

“心智”是在脑部浮荡的虚幻投影，包含了所有随机出现、未加控制的思绪，这些思绪从潜意识潺潺进知觉状态当中。

·         Consciousness is not mind; awareness is not mind; attention is not mind.

意识并非心智，知觉并非心智，专注力并非心智。

·         Mind is an obstruction, an aggravation. It is a kind of evolutionary mistake in the human being, a primal weakness in the human experiment.

心智是障碍，是使情况恶化的事物，是人类的一种进化的错误，是在做造人实验时产生原始弱点。

·         Anger is stronger than fear, stronger than sorrow.

怒气比恐惧更有力，比哀伤更有力。
