[00:00.66]The Splashes Of Life 生命的波纹

[00:08.54]There is a famous Sioux Indian story 

[00:11.81]handed down from generation to generation:

[00:14.66]The grandfather took his grandson to the fish pond on the farm 

[00:19.90]when the boy was about seven,

[00:21.88]and he told the boy to throw a stone into the water.

[00:25.38]He told the boy to watch the circles created by the stone.

[00:29.33]Then he asked the boy to think of myself as that stone.

[00:33.92]“You may create lots of splashes in your life,

[00:38.08]but the waves that come from those splashes 

[00:41.17]will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures,” he said.

[00:46.39]“Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle 

[00:51.44]and that circle will also touch many other circles.”

[00:55.15]“You will need to live in a way 

[00:58.00]that allows the good that comes from your circle

[01:00.95]to send the peace of that goodness to others.

[01:04.00]The splash that comes from anger or jealousy 

[01:07.15]will send those feelings to other circles.

[01:10.03]You are responsible for both.”

[01:13.96]That was the first time the boy realized 

[01:16.77]that each person creates the inner peace or discord¹ 

[01:20.05]that flows out into the world.

[01:21.62]We cannot create world peace 

[01:24.76]if we are riddled² with inner conflict, hatred³, doubt, or anger.

[01:29.17]We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside,

[01:33.95]whether we speak them or not.

[01:35.95]Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world,

[01:41.42]creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
