什么叫苦

　　什么叫苦呢？就是在境界当中，而不知回归我们的本源。这个心体，这个“心”是大方广的，这个心的宝藏功用是大方广的、是华严、是无障碍、是解脱、是极乐。但是众生不知道这个心之后，就迷失在境当中，就随境流转，这就叫“轮回”的相。六道的轮回就是因为我们在境当中而迷失了心。所以《金刚经》说，若能见诸相非相，则见如来。

　　What is suffering? It means we do not know how to return to the nature of our mind when we are confronted with situation. The mind is infinite, corrective and expansive. So is the function of the treasure of the mind. It is Avatamsa; it is free from hindrance; it is liberation as well as utmost joy. However, if sentient beings do not know it, they will get lost in the situation. So it is stated in the Diamond Sutra: “If all forms are seen as unreal, the Tathagata will be perceived”.
