倾听他人
只有当我们能够真正倾听别人的时候，我们才能理解他们。当我们能以深切的同情倾听他人时，我们就能理解他们的痛苦和困难。但是当我们生气的时候，我们不能倾听别人或听到他们的苦难。深刻地倾听他人是一种冥想。我们意识到自己的呼吸，跟着呼吸，练习集中注意力，我们了解到我们以前从来不知道的对方的事情。当我们练习深度倾听时，我们可以帮助我们正在倾听的人消除让他们痛苦的错误观念。我们可以在我们的伴侣、朋友、家庭、社区、国家以及国与国之间重建和谐。它是如此强大。
LISTENING TO OTHERS
We can only understand another person when we’re able to truly listen to them. When we can listen to others with deep compassion, we can understand their pain and difficulties. But when we’re angry, we can’t listen to others or hear their suffering. Listening deeply to another is a form of meditation. We become aware of our breathing, follow it, and practice concentration, and we learn things about the other person that we never knew before. When we practice deep listening, we can help the person we’re listening to remove the wrong perceptions that are making them suffer. We can restore harmony in our partnerships, our friendships, our family, our community, our nation, and between nations. It is that powerful.
