serenity of mind
    心灵的平静
    anonymous/佚名
    we enjoy inner peace and feel happy and satisfied when life flows smoothly and we have a good job，good relationships，good health，and our financial situation is good.when there is nothing to worry about，no tension and no hurry，we are at peace.
    in day-to-day life it is not always like this.there is always something that causes worry，tension and lack of ease，and does not let us feel peaceful.in spite of this，we can enjoy peace regardless of our outer circumstances.peace of mind is an inner state and is independent of outer conditions.why wait for never for circumstances to be“right”？why rely on outside circumstances to bring us peace of mind？
    我们享受到内心的宁静，并感到快乐和心满意足时，往往是生活之河平稳地向前流淌之时，拥有一份满意的工作、良好的人际关系、健康的身体和优越的经济条件。当我们没有焦虑和压力，也不繁忙时，便会平静下来。
    但是，日常生活并不总是如此。我们总会为一些事情焦虑、紧张和不安，无法平静下来。尽管如此，我们仍然可以享受到宁静，而忽略外在的条件。内心的宁静是一种心理状态，并不受外在条件的约束。为什么一定要等到“合适”的环境呢？为什么要让内心的平静取决于外在的条件呢？
    a person may be rich or poor.one may be healthy or sick，free，or live in closed cell.inner peace and calmness is within reach of everyone.one can be a slave，the other freeman，yet both have the potential to enjoy peace of mind.
    peace of mind seems to be in this world but out of this world.it is experienced here and now，yet independent of outer circumstances.inner calmness and serenity can be experienced even under the most trying circumstances.of course some training is needed first.
    一个人可能贫穷，也可能富有；可能健康，也可能患病；可能自由，也可能受约束。但内心的平静和安宁每个人都能得到。不管是奴隶，还是自由人，都可能享受到内心的平静。
    在这个世界上，内心的平静似有似无。但如果摆脱外在条件的束缚，此时此刻你就能感受到。即使是在最艰难的条件下，你仍然可以拥有内心的安宁和平静。当然，首先你要接受一些培训。
    thoughts and peace of mind
    thoughts arise in us and we think them.we may choose to ignore them and experience real inner freedom，or we may choose to water them with the power of our attention and make them grow.
    when you have to think，choose only positive，happy and uplifting thoughts.think about and imagine only what you really and truly desire and that will come to pass.always remember that life is shaped according to your thoughts.
    when the mind is silent there is happiness inside and happiness outside.
    it is a great asset and advantage to be able to silence the mind when its services are not needed.
    the attainment of serenity of mind，which is actually freedom from the compulsion of incessant thinking，is open for everyone，provided the proper training is taken.just reading this article you will not bring you peace of mind.when you understand the value of inner peace，and you have a true desire to succeed，nothing can stand in your way，though this is an inner power，the way to its attainment is not different from other tangible goals.work and persistence are necessary.
    思索会让内心平静
    我们会产生想法，并会去思考这些想法。我们可以选择忽视它们，去体验内心真正的自由。或者，我们选择用更多的关注去浇灌它们，促使其成长。
    当你必须思考时，只选择积极、快乐和乐观的想法。要去思考和想像你真正的渴望.并相信它们迟早会实现。永远记住，生活是由你的思想决定的。
    当心灵静默时，你就会拥有一种内心的幸福和外在的快乐。
    如果心灵的需要得不到满足，仍能保持静默，这就是一笔巨大的资本和优势。
    要使心灵平静，实际上是要从难以抗拒的不断思考中解脱出来。人人都可以做到，只是要经过适当的训练，光读这篇文章并能让你的内心平静下来。当你懂得了内心平静的价值，就会真正渴望成功，并在追求过程中克服一切阻碍。尽管这是一种内在的能量。但获取它的方式与其他实际目标一样，必须努力和坚持。
    most people are enslaved by their thoughts.it does not occur to man that he can become free from their grasp.from the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we fall asleep at night，this chatter of the mind continues incessantly.the habit of thinking is very deeply ingrained in the human race.yet，this habit can be undone.
    to change or stop a habit we have to act consciously in the opposite direction.whatever new skill we develop，we have to work at it until it turns into second nature，and becomes easy to perform.the same is with mind control.
    true control of the mind is not just the ability to concentrate on one thought and disregard other thoughts.it is the ability to cleanse the mind completely and make it silent.a great indian sage said：“mind is only a bundle of thoughts，stop thinking and show me the mind.”
    大多数人都沉迷在自己的思考中，很少人能摆脱它，获得身心自由。从我们清晨醒来的那一刻起，脑子里一直在思考，直到晚上入睡为止。思考是人类根深蒂固的习惯.但这种习惯仍可以改变。
    要改变或戒掉一种习惯，我们必须有意识地采取相反方式的行动。不管我们是在学习什么新的技能，都要努力学习，直到它转化成第二天性，变得随心所欲。控制心灵也是如此。
    真正控制心灵，并不是仅仅在一种思考上集中注意力，忽视其他思考的能力.而是一种完全净化思考，让它静默的能力。印度有一位伟大的智者说过：“心灵只是各种思想的综合，停止思考，方可表露心灵。”（未完待续）
