福報帶得走，財富帶不走 One Can Take Away Merits，But Not Wealth

現在很多人都在拚命地賺錢，拚命地追求利益，經歷了那麼多，辛苦了那麼久，最終還是一無所獲，只是絕望，沒有別的。也有極少數人「成功」了，也就是真的得到錢、得到權力了，又能如何呢？也許越有錢，內心越煩惱；權力越大，內心的壓力越大。

Today many people have been endeavoring to make money and pursue interests, but after having experienced and suffered a lot, they end up getting nothing but desperation. There are also a few people who are really 「successful」, i.e. having got the money and attained the power, so what? The more money they own, the more afflicted they might feel; the bigger their power is, the bigger pressure they may face.

在一生當中，為了錢財而遭受的艱難就不說了，還積累了那麼多惡業，都要跟你走。錢不可能跟你走，權也不可能跟你走，親戚朋友也不可能跟你走，甚至是自己一輩子精心養護的「身體」也不可能跟你走。臨終時，跟你形影不離的就是「業」——善業或惡業。你一輩子造的業跟你走，自己造的要自己受，誰也不會為你分擔的。

In your life, in order to obtain wealth, you have not only suffered many hardships, but also accumulated lots of bad karmas, which will follow you. Money cannot follow you, nor can the power, nor can the relatives, even nor can the 「body」 which you have been carefully maintaining throughout your life. At the point of dying, the only thing inseparable is 「karma」—good or bad. The karma you have created in your life will accompany you all your life, which means what you have done has to be endured by yourself, and nobody else can share it with you.

你所積累的這些財富也不是你的，最終是別人的；你所得到的權力不是你的，最終還是別人的。「我是老闆」「我是領導」，爭來了權力，最後也還要歸別人。有的人一輩子掙錢、攢錢，自己不捨得花，結果，要麼突然生病了，錢都給醫院了；要麼突然死了，不知道錢被誰拿走了。

The wealth you have accumulated is also not yours, but others』 eventually; the power you have obtained is not yours, and finally it will belong to others. 「I am the boss」, 「I am the leader」, through fighting you get the power, but it will be owned by others ultimately. Some people have been earning and saving money throughout their lives, hating to spend it. As it turns out, either they get sick unexpectedly and all money goes to the hospital, or they die suddenly without knowing who else will take the money away.

其實我們認為的權力、財富，都不是真正的福報。真正的福報在自己的相續當中，在阿賴耶當中，是可以帶走的。其他一切的物質條件，都不要太執著。緣來了也行，緣走了也行。你不受影響，這就行了。

Actually both the power and wealth are not real fortune. Real fortune is in one』s continuity of mind, in the store consciousness, which can be taken away. Do not be too attached to all other material conditions. Whether the condition comes or goes, as long as you are not affected, that would be fine.
