保罗·卡卢斯:佛陀的福音 生命的束缚 The Ties of Life
The Ties of Life
5.生命的束缚
When Siddhattha had grown to youth, his father desired to see him married,
and he sent to all his kinsfolk, commanding them to bring their princesses
that the prince might select one of them as his wife. [1]
悉达多长大成人了,他父亲希望看到他结婚成家。他传令给他的亲戚,让这些亲戚将他们的女儿带到王宫,以便太子从中选择一位做他的妻子。 1
But the kinsfolk replied and said:
"The prince is young and delicate;
nor has he learned any of the sciences.
He would not be able to maintain our daughter,
and should there be war he would be unable to cope with the enemy." [2]
但是亲戚们这样答复国王:“太子年纪尚幼,身体瘦弱,也没有学到其他任何技艺,他没有能力供养我们的女儿,如果战争爆发,他也不知如何对付敌人。” 2
The prince was not boisterous, but pensive in his nature.
He loved to stay under the great jambu-tree in the garden of his father,
and, observing the ways of the world,
gave himself up to meditation. [3]
太子生性不喜喧闹而爱静思。他喜欢在父亲花园的一棵大阎浮树下坐着,观察世间种种现象,让自己陷入沉思之中。 3
And the prince said to his father:
"Invite our kinsfolk that they may see me and put my strength to the test."
And his father did as his son bade him. [4]
太子对父亲说:“邀请我们的亲戚们来吧,他们可以看看我,我可以在考试中展示我的强壮。”于是国王照他儿子的话去做了。 4
When the kinsfolk came, and the people of the city Kapilavatthu had assembled
to test the prowess and scholarship of the prince,
he proved himself manly in all the exercises both of the body and of the mind,
and there was no rival among the youths and men of India
who could surpass him in any test, bodily or mental. [5]
这些亲戚来了之后,迦毗罗卫城的居民们都聚到考试场四周来观看太子的技艺和学识考试,太子在身体和学识两方面的考试中证明了自己的勇敢和智慧,印度的男子没人能够在这两种考试中胜过他。 5
He replied to all the questions of the sages;
but when he questioned them,
even the wisest among them were silenced. [6]
他回答了哲人们问的所有问题,但当他向他们问问题时,甚至他们中最睿智的哲人,也沉默以对,无法回答。 6
Then Siddhattha chose himself a wife.
“太子生了一个儿子,他将会像我爱他一样爱他的儿子。这将是有力的束缚,能将悉达多的心和俗世的事情捆在一起,我的后人将继续统治释迦王国。” 9
With no selfish aim, but regarding his child and the people at large,
Siddhattha, the prince, attended to his religious duties,
bathing his body in the holy Ganges
and cleansing his heart in the waters of the law.
Even as men desire to give happiness to their children,
so did he long to give peace to the world. [10]
悉达多太子没有任何自私的想法,为了他的儿子和全国人民,他履行他的宗教义务,在神圣的恒河中沐浴身体,在正道之水中洗涤心灵。正当人们希望将幸福给予他们的孩子时,悉达多太子渴望将和平带给世界。 10
夏季最流行的山地极限运动随着社会的发展,人们对健身的需要也越来越高,尤其是在夏季,人们更需要运动,那么夏季有什么运动最适合呢?下面一起来看看夏季流行的山地极限运动吧。
近几年,这一户外健身运动在我国发展很快,受到越来越多的人的喜爱,各种形式和名称的比赛不少,较有影响的有安吉国际山地极限运动邀请赛、中国九寨天堂山地户外挑战赛、莫干山国际登山越野赛等,这三个比赛在项目设置上都是根据当地地域特点设计的,因此有所不同。
山地极限运动(也称越野挑战)是目前国际上比较流行的一项新的户外体育运动,比赛项目是根据地域特色设置的,运动员在战胜自然障碍、挑战自身极限的同时,可充分享受优美的自然风景,呼吸清新的空气,达到人与自然的和谐统一。
近10年来,我国这项运动多为民间自发开展,运动名称五花八门,所成立的俱乐部也是各种各样(据不完全统计已有200多家),比赛更是不规范,安全事故时有发生,为此,中国登协为加强行业归口管理,两年前专门成立了户外运动部。我国的山地户外运动可以说是方兴未艾,正向着安全、规范的方向不断前进。
由于越野赛是以原始的生存状态作为基本原则及举办地的自然地貌来设计的,因此比赛项目有所不同,但有两点是基本一致的:一是参赛队伍必须男女混合,二是只能采用人力驱动的方式前进。
地处黄蒲江源头、有“中国竹乡”之称的安吉,其比赛项目是山路越野、溯溪、竹海定点穿越、山路自行车越野、扎筏渡湖、溪降。而九寨沟的比赛项目则是险峰先登、草地穿越、丛林策马、山地竞骑、黄河争渡等。比赛中团结协作最重要,因为最后到达的队员的成绩便是全队的成绩,可以说比赛更多的是比团队精神。比如山路越野负重跑,重量只给这个队,该队自己根据每个队员的情况进行分配,比赛中,自然少不了出现两名队员架着一名队员跑的情形。
上面给大家介绍了是一项户外的极限运动,人们在夏季的时候正好合适参加山地极限运动,而且告诉大家要怎么去做,所以想去参加的朋友要认识这个运动,才能更好的帮你夏季健身。
