爱是一种状态
Love is A State of Being

(Translated by Xidai and Edited by Kaer)
自古以来，“我爱你”是一首千古不变的动听乐曲，人们因听到“我爱你”而迷醉，而迷恋，而美哉乐哉，而发狂。今天，我终于发现，“我爱你”是一种幻觉，是变幻莫测的云霞，是昙花一现有七彩光环的美丽泡沫，是一剂麻醉剂。
From ancient times, “I love you” has been a beautiful song which has been unchanged throughout the ages. People become fascinated, infatuated, and enjoyed crazy bliss when hearing, “I love you”. Today, I finally know that “I love you” is a hallucination, the unpredictable clouds, a colorful bubble, and an anesthetic.
爱是一种状态，就像太阳不停地放射光芒，就像盛开的牡丹绽放娇艳，犹如江河日夜奔腾不息，宛若璀璨的星辰在夜空中闪烁着明亮的光华。
Love is a state, like the constantly shining sun, the blooming peony, the roaring river, and the bright stars twinkling in the night sky with all their luster.
爱没有具体的对象，爱本身无言，爱若有所爱的对象，它就不是爱。太阳永恒地散发着光芒照射万物，太阳一旦有照射的对象，它就不是太阳，而是探照灯，或是手电筒，或是聚光灯。爱如放射光芒的太阳，爱如盛开的鲜花，它是一种状态，太阳并没说“我爱你！”鲜花并没有说“我爱你！”不管是否有人欣赏，不管是否有蜜蜂蝴蝶来采蜜，鲜花总是适时地绽放。
Love has no specific target, it is wordless, but if there are specific targets, it is not love. The sun shines down constantly on everything, but if there is a target, it is not the sun, but a searchlight, a torch, or a spotlight. Love is like the shining sun and the blooming flowers. It is a state. Neither the sun nor the flowers ever say “I love you”. No matter whether anyone is watching and no matter whether the bees and butterflies come to gather nectar, the flowers always bloom on time.
爱带给人和其他生命和其他事物的永远是温暖、祥瑞、和睦、美善、幸福、正面能量和无限神往，爱从不给人、其他生命、其他事物带来寒冷、躁乱、丑恶、烦恼、痛苦、负面能量和绝望。
Love always brings warmth, auspiciousness, harmony, goodness, happiness, and positive energy, and is infinitely fascinating to all living beings. Love never shows coldness, madness, ugliness, worry, suffering, negative energy, or desperation.
爱不会使人受伤，如果爱让人受伤，让人惆怅，让人烦恼，让人痛苦，让人生恨，让人失望和绝望，它肯定不是爱。
对爱，只能用爱感受，无法用命令和强制的方式获取，也无法用金钱、地位、名誉、美色去换取，爱是无偿的，爱是无价的，爱是不需要回报的，爱是全然奉献而不附加任何债务、责任、义务等条件要求的。爱对叫花子和亿万富翁持同样的态度，爱对国王和普通老百姓一样对待。爱没有道德观念，爱没有价值体系，爱不分真假、善恶、美丑和对错。
Love cannot hurt anyone. If love leads to pain, grief, suffering, hatred, disappointment, or desperation, it can not be real love.
Love can only be felt by love. It cannot be demanded or taken by force, nor by money, status, fame, or beauty. Love is totally free, it is priceless, needs nothing in return, and is unconditional, with neither responsibilities, obligations, nor other requirements. Love treats everyone the same: beggars and billionaires, commoners and royalty. Love has no morals. Love has no system of values. Love lives in truth, kindness, beauty, and right, as well as in falseness, evil, ugliness, and wrong.
生命之间的差异关键在于其拥有的爱含量，爱含量越高，其生命的层次越高；爱含量越低，其生命的层次越低，这就像煤油灯、电灯、太阳的差异一样，它们所散发的光芒是不一样的。煤油灯只能照亮一间屋子，电灯能照亮一片场地，而太阳能照亮一方太空。
The differences in the levels of love between different living beings are in the contents of love’s energy. The more love a living being has, the higher its level is; the less love it has, the lower its level is. This is the same as the differences of kerosene lamps, electric lamps, and the sun. They are shining different lights. The kerosene lamp can only illuminate one room in a house and the electric lamp can illuminate a yard, but the sun can illuminate a much larger area.
佛光普照，但人光只能照有限的领域，这就是佛和人的差异。
由此我们知道，爱天下的，那是佛，为天下大众谋福利的，那是佛。只爱自己，只为自己着想的，那是魔。只爱一个人或某几个人，只为某一个人或某几个人谋福利的，那是动物。只爱一群人，只为某一群人服务的，那是人。
The light of the Buddha can spread everywhere, but the light of human beings can only spread in limited regions. This is the difference between Buddhas and people.
So, we understand that those who love everything and live for the benefit of all living beings are Buddhas, those who only love and think about themselves are devils, those who love and live for only one person or several people are animals, and those who only love and live for a group of people are human beings.
由此可知，一个自私自利只爱自己的人，他或她实际上就是魔子魔孙，只有一个爱的对象的，比如夫妻和一对一情爱性爱关系的，实际上就是最低等动物。只爱自己家庭成员和亲属的，是最低层次的人。只爱自己的民族、宗教、团体、政党、国家而不爱其他民族、宗教、团体、政党、国家的，属于人。而一个尽性、尽力、尽意为全体人类谋福利而毫不为自己谋利益的，他或她肯定不是人，而是菩萨、天使、佛。
According to this, we know that those who selfishly love themselves are the offsprings of devils, those who only love one person or thing, such as within monogamous marriage, are the lowest level of animals, those who love their families are the lowest level of human beings, and those who love their own nations, religions, organizations, and political parties are human beings, but those who live for the benefit of all living beings regardless of their own interests are more than human beings, they are Bodhisattvas, Angels, and Buddhas.
人，实际上是不配说爱的，爱是菩萨、天使、佛的专利。当一个人对另一个人说“我爱你”的时候，是在亵渎爱。
Human beings are not worthy of speaking the word, “love”. Love is the patent of Bodhisattvas, Angels, and Buddhas. Love is profaned when one person says “I love you” to another.
爱是一种反物质存在，唯有自身具备爱，才能感受到爱，自身不具备爱，永远感受不到爱。只有自己有眼睛，才能看到其他生命的眼睛，只有自己不色盲，才能看到大千世界的五彩缤纷。
You will never feel love if you do not have love within yourself. Only if you have eyes can you see the eyes of other LIVES.Only if you are not color-blind, can you see how colorful the world is.
至爱者升华为天仙。所谓至爱，就是自己全然变成了爱。
上帝就是爱，我们唯有使自己变成爱，才有资格前往上帝的后花园——仙岛群岛洲。
Those people with the greatest love will become Super Celestial Beings. The greatest love is that you, yourself, completely become love.
The Greatest Creator is love. Only by making ourselves become love can we enter the secret garden of the Greatest Creator, the Celestial Island Continent of the Elysium World.
