從某種意義上說，身體的健康程度，決定壽命的長短。每個人都想擁有健康的身體，長久的壽命。

In a sense, the health level of body determines the length of life. Everyone wants to have a healthy body and a long life.

然而人究竟怎樣才能真正獲得健康長壽呢？曾經看到有一段文字這樣寫到，＂世界衛生組織總結出人的健康有三個因素：一、心理的健康；二、身體的健康；三、與人友好相處。＂在我看來，這三個因素仍然是知其然，而不知其所以然。

How can people really get health and longevity? Once I read a text: "World Health Organization has concluded that there are three factors of human health. The first one is the psychological health; the second one is the physical health and the third one is the friendly relationship with others." In my opinion, these factors still know that it is so but not why it is so.

心理怎樣才能真正的健康，這才是問題的關鍵。佛家一語道破天機:＂萬病由心生，萬法由心造。＂心，是情緒的主導，怨、恨、惱、怒、煩、貪、嗔、痴、邪、慢，這些不良情緒都是疾病的因。巜黃帝內經》就有告戒我們說：＂思傷脾、憂傷肺、喜傷心、恐傷腎＂，這些都是疾病的緣起。

What kind of psychology is really healthy? This is the key. Buddhism lays bare the truth with one penetrating remark: "all diseases come from the heart and all laws are created by the heart." Heart, the domination of emotions, is the cause for resentment, hate, annoyance, anger, worry, greed, blame, obsession, evil, tardiness and other negative emotions. And thenInner Canon of Huangdi (The Yellow Emperor』s Classic of Internal Medicine)tells us, "Over thinking damages the spleen, over grief damages the lungs, over joy damages the heart and over panic damages the kidney. " All these are the origin of disease.

一個貪字，讓我們＂病從口入＂：現代人吃喝太多，太雜。因此老子告訴我們＂餘食贅行＂，意思是疾病、肥胖這些令我們討厭的東西，都是吃出來的。所以＂菩薩畏因，凡夫畏果。＂覺悟的人從因上下功夫，不造病因，防患於未然；無智的人則從果上下功夫，疾病形成了再找方法，晚矣！

Greed makes "disease enter by the mouth", because the modern people eat too much and too miscellaneous. Lao Zi told us, "over eating is superfluous", meaning that the hateful things like disease and obesity are all got from eating. Hence, "Bodhisattva is careful not to plant the seed of evil, but the mortal is only afraid of evil consequence." Conscious people make efforts from the cause and do not cause disease so as to nip this problem in bud! Stupid people make efforts in the consequence. They find the way after falling ill, which is too late!

因此，疾病的形成都是心造成的，都是由心所導向的結果。既然病由心生，我們就要注重毎一個當下的心性修養，心底無私天地寬。「無我、利他、專一、守信」同樣是治病的良方。病由心生，病由心滅！

Therefore, the disease is caused and guided by the heart. Since the disease comes from the heart, we have to take every moment seriously to cultivate the heart. If your heart is selfless, your life will be immense. "Selflessness, altruism, concentration and honesty" are also good cures for the disease. In conclusion, disease comes from the heart, so disease shall be eliminated by the heart!
