忙碌而多虑的人们没时间可以悠闲地生活，没时间在绿地间的小径行走，没时间在树下静坐。

But active, concerned people don't have time to spend leisurely, walking along paths of green grass and sitting beneath trees.

他们必须准备一套又一套的计划，不断地和身边的人协商，试着解决无数危机。

One must prepare projects, consult with the neighbors, try to resolve a million difficulties; there is hard work to do.

他们总有要事得做，他们必须处理种种困境，时时刻刻都专注于工作，分分秒秒保持警醒且一切就绪，好掌握状况，随机应变。

One must deal with every kind of hardship, every moment keeping one's attention focused on the work, alert, ready to handle the situation ably and intelligently.

我认为，时时刻刻都专注于工作，分分秒秒保持警醒且一切就绪，掌握各种可能会发生的状况，随机应变——这就是正念。

Keep your attention focused on the work, be alert and ready to handle ably and intelligently any situation which may arise, this is mindfulness.

没有理由把正念与

“专注于手边的工作，保持灵敏且做出最佳判断”划分开来。

There is no reason why mindfulness should be different from focusing all one's attention on one's work, to be alert and to be using one's best judgment.

在协商、解决和处理各种状况时，若要获得好结果，冷静的心和自我控制绝对是必要的。

During the moment one is consulting, resolving, and dealing with whatever arises, a calm heart and selfcontrol are necessary if one is to obtain good results.

任何人都知道，如果我们没能好好控制自己，而让急躁或愤怒干扰我们，我们的工作就不再有任何价值了。

Anyone can see that. If we are not in control of ourselves but instead let our impatience or anger interfere, then our work is no longer of any value.

正念是个奇迹，藉由它，我们得以主宰自己、重建自我。

Mindfulness is the miracle by which we master and restore ourselves.

因此

正念既是方法，也是目的；既是因，也是果。

Thus, mindfulness is at the same time a means and an end, the seed and the fruit.

当我们为了达致专注而练习正念，正念是因；但正念本身就是觉知的生命，正念存在意味着生命存在，因此正念也是果。

When we practice mindfulness in order to build up concentration, mindfulness is a seed. But mindfulness itself is the life of awareness, the presence of mindfulness means the presence of life, and therefore mindfulness is also the fruit.
