四无量心的修持（中英双语）

　　The practice of the four immeasurable qualities of mind （catvāri apramān?āni） is step by step process. One accumulates the four immeasurable qualities of mind in a steadily process through meditation and implement from familiar to unfamiliar, from near to far and spreads throughout all living beings. One should cultivate the four immeasurable qualities of mind, namely, loving kindness （Maitrī） compassion （Karu?ā）， sympathetic joy （Muditā）， equanimity （Upek?ā） and gradually extend to unlimited and immeasurable space. First of all, you should spread the loving kindness from the people whom you love, your relatives, and your best friends and then you gradually expand to all beings including your enemies without any discrimination, and later let the four immeasurable qualities of mind pervade all directions and everything consistently. This is the real practice of the four immeasurable qualities of mind.

　　四无量心的修持是循序渐进、厚积薄发的过程，通过禅观及实行，由亲至疏、由近及远遍及一切众生，将慈悲喜舍心逐步扩展到无量无边。首先，从自己所挚爱的人、亲戚、身边最好的朋友开始，然后逐渐扩大到包括怨敌在内的一切众生，丝毫没有偏爱，坚定不移地遍及一切，这就是真正的四无量心的修持。
