We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.

  • -- Pearl S. Buck 珍珠红

我们应该为年老做好准备，这样，这个世界就不会迫切需要从对下一个世界的冥想中吸收老年。看到老态龙钟的瘦削的手在坟墓上做棺材是可怕的。

The kind of spirituality I value is one in which you get great joy out of contributing to life, not just sitting and meditating, although meditation is certainly valuable. But from the meditation, from the resulting consciousness, I would like to see people in action creating the world that they want to live in.

我所看重的精神是那种你能从对生活的贡献中获得巨大快乐的精神，而不仅仅是坐着冥想，尽管冥想当然是有价值的。但从冥想中，从由此产生的意识中，我希望看到人们在行动中创造他们想要生活的世界。
