慈悲喜舍四无量心的修习，

需要行人先从舍无量开始修持，

以便相应于离贪、离欲、

离念、离爱、离渴的前行；

然这份舍无量，

需要有离的精进与奋勇。

所谓无量，

即是以众多有情为缘给予无量之福，

且是平等利益一切。

故破身见的离贪、离欲、

离念、离爱、离渴，

需要广为弘传以利益世间。

慈能予乐，

能除生命中的忧嗔；

悲能拔苦，

能除生命里的恼害；

喜是因有情离苦得乐而起欢喜心，

能除生命中的不悦不乐；

舍是能平等念及有情

而舍爱憎之心，

能除生命里的爱憎。

如此的慈悲喜舍，

即便是大梵天王也是依此修行，

然不知身见苦谛故难以出离三界。

   Going Forward with Kindness, Pity, Joy and Sacrifice.

The practice of The Four Immeasurable States of Mind (Note 1) including kindness, pity, joy and sacrifice requires practitioners, to begin with sacrifice so that they can correspond to move forward from giving up greed, desire, longing, love and thirst; however, this immeasurable mind of impartiality requires practitioners bearing a sacrifice mind with diligence and courage.

The so-called immeasurable is to give an infinite number of sentient beings as clamber upon conditions with immeasurable blessings and to benefit them all equally. Therefore, it is necessary to spread the doctrine of breaking through the incorrect view of having a self to give up greed, desire, memory, love and thirst for the benefit of the world.

Kindness can give joy, it can remove the anger and worry in life.  Pity can pull out pain, it can remove the trouble in life.  Joy is caused by sentient beings’ separation from pain, it can remove the unhappiness in life. Sacrifice is impartially caring all beings to give up love and hatred, it can remove the love and hatred in life.

With this mind of kindness, pity, joy and sacrifice, even the Brahman-heaven King cultivated the same practice of kindness, pity, joy and sacrifice.  However, if practitioners do not know the truth of suffering of the incorrect view of having a self,  it is difficult for them to leave the three realms.

Note 1: Four immeasurable states of mind:

immeasurable mind of kindness (慈无量心)

immeasurable mind of pity (悲无量心)

immeasurable mind of joy ( 喜无量心) 

immeasurable mind of impartiality (舍无量心)
