不善的念头会伤己 Unwholesome Thought Hurts Only Ourselves

心像一条流动的河，无数的念头刹那生灭，相续不断。​

Our mind is like a flowing river, where countless thoughts come and go continuously, without any stops.

起什么念头对我们的生活、生命是有影响的，它会制造出“产品”。念头制造的产品包括我们当下的苦乐感受、说的话、做的事、身体的反应以及记忆。

有研究表明，愤怒、仇恨对人体内的神经组织、内脏细胞会造成严重损害，而光明、善良、正面的念头会制造出快乐、安全、舒服的“产品”。

我们一天中产生的念头不计其数，有良性的，但更多是恶性的，如焦虑、猜疑、抱怨、批评、指责、嫉妒等。这样制造出来的“产品”杂乱，心态忧喜不定，身体健康状态不稳定，人际关系时好时坏，顺境逆境无法把握。

​只有让善念持久、稳定、有力，才能拥有稳定的幸福与快乐。

Our thoughts have an impact on our lives through its byproducts. The byproducts made by our thoughts include our pleasant and unpleasant feelings, speech, actions, physical reactions, and memories.

Research shows that anger and hatred results in severe damage to the neural system and visceral cells in the human body. On the contrary - bright, kind, and positive thoughts lead to the byproducts of happiness, ease, and comfort.

We generate countless thoughts every day, only some of which are wholesome. Most of the time, they are unwholesome thoughts such as anxiety, suspicion, complaints, criticisms, blame, jealousy, and so on. In this way, the byproduct is disordered, unsettling our mind, destabilizing our physical health, disrupting our interpersonal relationships, and causing us to be unable to handle success and failure.

​Only by keeping our wholesome thoughts persistent, stable, and strong, will we achieve long-lasting well-being and happiness.
