凡夫

但要能以平常心说出这句话，绝不是“未经一番寒彻骨”之凡夫所能为之的。

However , to say it gently is not possible for any ordinary person whose mind has not been tempered through thick and thin .

凡夫是「命运」随业转，觉悟的人则能「运命」。

Ordinary people are governed by their karma , while the enlightened ones dictate their own life .

这些韵诗在Kathavatthu中引用并且与凡夫的腐化破坏有关。

These stanzas have been quoted in the Kathavatthu in connection with the destruction of cankers by worldings .

凡夫愚人，亦复如是。

So are the vulgar people in the world .

凡夫心无法真正领悟绝对的真理。

The absolute truth cannot be realized within the domain of the ordinary mind .

凡夫之人，亦复如是。

So are the common people .

凡夫是低的和无知的并且不能评价他-我现在赞美仁慈的心。

Common mortals are low and ignorant and cannot appraise him . - I now praise the compassionate heart .

神的层次的知识在这里是重要，会让人们达到世俗的或凡夫的最高水准。

Knowledge of divine planes is important here to lead the man to the maximum level of worldly or mundane state .

和尚很奇怪看到天人向一个凡夫表达如此敬意，于是问其原因。

The monk was surprised to see a heavenly being showing such respect to a mere mortal , and asked the reason .

就是因为我们现在还在凡夫头脑的等级，没办法想像那种境界。

It is because our mind is still at the level of the mundane realm and we cannot imagine that kind of realm .

愚者与智者佛陀与凡夫的差别就好比智者与愚者之间的差别那样。

A lunatic and a sane man the difference between the Buddha and an ordinary man is like the difference between a sane man and a lunatic .

他认为：希腊萨提儿歌队，原始悲剧的歌队，所常常遨游的境界，确实是一种“理想的”境界，是一种远远超出凡夫行径之上的境界，

As Schiller saw , that the Greek chorus of satyrs , the chorus of primitive tragedy , moved on ideal ground , a ground raised high above the common path of mortals .

当你听到佛陀说的这些话，就要依著去修行，不能只做个凡夫就满足，要修行提升到人类、天神、大梵天神的层次，或甚至努力修心成为圣者。

When you have all heard this , practice accordingly and don 't stop at just being a person ; cultivate until you 're a human being , an angel a Brahma god or develop your mind to be a Noble one .
