because you will discover that even these so-called burdens are empty and illusory.
The reason they can torment you is that you see them as very real.
When you clearly understand that your own clingings and the things you cling to are all capriciously changing, and none of them can last forever, your mind will naturally relax, and relax again, and finally you will be as comfortable and pleased as if you are lying on the green grass under the warm sun.
Then you will not feel that you are living such a fatiguing life, and you will be able to face this world and the things you go through, calmly taking things as they come.
Then you will truly be solid and unbreakable.(page 218-219)
~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

因为你会发现，就连那些所谓的包袱，也是虚幻的，它们能折腾你，完全是因为你把它们看得非常实在。当你明白自己的执著与执著之物都是善变的，都不会永恒的时候，你的心自然会放松下来，再放松一点，最后像躺在暖阳下的青草地上般的舒适与惬意，你就不会觉得自己活得很累，也能任运坦然地面对这个世界，以及你经历的很多事情。这时，你才真正是坚不可摧的。(177页）
