In a small village there lived a man who was always happy, kind, and well disposed to everyone he met. People knew they could count on him, and regarded him as a great friend.

　　One of the villagers was curious to know what his secret was, how could he be always so kind and helpful? How is it that he held no grudge towards anyone and was always happy?

　　Once, upon meeting him in the street he asked him: "Most people are selfish and unsatisfied. They do not smile as often as you do; neither are they as helpful or kind as you are. How do you explain it?"

　　"When you make peace with yourself, then you can be in peace with the rest of the world. If you can recognize the spirit in yourself, you can recognize the spirit in everyone, and then you find it natural to be kind and well disposed to all. If your thoughts are under your control you become strong and firm."

　　"But a lot of work is necessary. The work is difficult and endless. There are many walls that need to be climbed. It is not an easy task." Lamented the villager.

　　"Do not think about the difficulties, otherwise that's what you will see and experience. Just quieten your feelings and thoughts and try to stay in this peace. All the abilities and powers awaken spontaneously."

　　"Is that all?" Asked the villager.

　　"Try to watch your thoughts and see how they come and go. Stay in the quietness that arises. The moments of peace will be brief at first, but in time they will get longer. This peace is also strength, power, kindness, and love."

　　"I will try to remember your words," said the villager and continued, "There is another thing that I am curious about. You do not seem to be influenced by the environment. You have a kind word to everyone and are helpful. Yet people do not exploit your goodness, and they treat you well."

　　"Goodness and being kind do not necessarily point to weakness. When you are good you can also be strong. People sense your strength and do not impose on you. You then act from strength and not from weakness. Goodness can also go with power and strength, it is not a sign of weakness as some people erroneously think."

"I will try to remember your words,"

在一个小镇上住着一个人,他对任何他遇见的人总是带着微笑,亲切的,想与之交谈的面容.人们对他很信任,把他当成自己的好朋友!

　　有人好奇的问他能够每天都开心的秘诀,是什么使他总能如此的乐善好施?是什么促使他不要回报的帮助其他人并且总是很幸福?

　　一天,他在街上遇见了那个每天都快乐的人并问道"那么多人都自私并且不满足.他们不向你这样成天的笑;他们既不愿意帮助人也不像你这样的和蔼可亲.你是如何做到的?"

　　"当你自己的内心是平静的,那么外界的一切干扰都对你不起作用,甚至你的平静会让外界也变得平和.如果你跟随着你的思想,那你就不会被外界的思想所干扰,并且还可能用你的精神去影响他们.这样你就会自然的发自内心的平和与亲和力去对待任何事物了.如果你的能控制好你的思想那么你就能变得无比强大与坚定."

　　"但是很多工作是必须的.并且它们还很难并且永远也办不完.甚至有很多的障碍需要我们去克服.都不是容易的事啊!"那个好奇的人沮丧的说.

　　"别太在意那些困难,除非你现在正面临着.仅仅平和你的情绪和思绪并且试着保持这样的状态.所有你自己的能力与力量会自动复苏的!

　　"就这样简单?"好奇的他问着.

　　"试着想想你的那些思想,它们是怎么进入你的脑中又如何从被你的脑遗忘的.保持平静并让它有生机.起初也许只是短暂的平静,但随着时间的渐进,平静的心态会与日俱增的.你的思想一样会有强壮,变得有力量,友好和爱.

　　"我会尽量记住你的话,"他继续说道:"还有一件我好奇的事,你似乎不被环境所影响.你的那些平和的话语对每个人都很有帮助.然而人们不会开发利用你的仁慈,并对你很好."

　　"仁慈与善良不意味着软弱.当你仁慈与善良的时候一样很强壮.人们会感受到你内心的强大,并且不会让你感到强迫.你的行为会因为你的内心的强大而变的强大.仁慈一样与力量与强大同在,它不是一些错误思想的人认为的那样软弱!"

That's ture.
