仏教の先生の書かれた日本語文の英訳をさせていただいています。Buddhism’sTheory of Happinessという名前でYouTubeやSNSで仏教の布教活動をされています。その翻訳した文の一部を定期的にここでシェアさせていただきます。
There is so much anxiety and emptiness inside of us that we can't stand not doing anything even for a moment. To escape from the feelings, we devote ourselves to various hobbies and recreations.
In Buddhism, the true cause of the anxiety and emptiness is called the darkness of mind. Buddhism’s focus is entirely on this darkness of mind.
Master Shinran said that Buddhism is the “sun of wisdom that destroys darkness of mind.” In other words, Buddhism is the wisdom that eliminates ignorance regarding why we live and frees us of our inner emptiness.
Master Shinran himself experienced being troubled by darkness of mind, but had it resolved thanks to the Buddhist teachings. He therefore wanted to convey to us that we too can have our darkness resolved by Buddhism, the “sun of wisdom.”
