只要我們稍為有智慧，就會知道世間的成就和快樂，都是滲雜著痛苦的
比如說有些人談戀愛、 結婚，他們非常喜悅和快樂；但我們知道，他們未來肯定會痛苦，甚至是哭著來找我們的。
有些人生下兒子，然後興奮到近乎發瘋：‘我做爸爸了！！！’ 然而，我們也知道，他未來一定會因為兒子而生氣和痛苦的
同樣地，當一個人得到很大的財富、 名譽、 地位、 權力；只要他因執著而歡喜若狂，我們也知道痛苦在前面等著他呢～
然而，有時為他們高興仍是正確的態度。因為他們的確獲得了他們夢寐以求的東西，他們從中得到了快樂。
Ajahn Suchart 也教導，當我們看見某人成功、 結婚、 獲得晉升，我們也應該為他們感到高興，這就是喜心。
如果對任何人的世俗成就都平淡處之，甚至是妒忌別人，這不是佛教的態度
As long as we have a bit of wisdom, we will understand that worldly achievements and happiness are always mixed with suffering.
For example, some people fall in love and get married, and they feel immense joy and happiness; yet we know that in the future, they are bound to experience suffering, even coming to us in tears.
Some people have a son and are so excited that they almost go crazy: "I’m a dad now!!!" However, we also know that they will inevitably face anger and pain because of their son.
Similarly, when a person gains great wealth, fame, status, or power, as long as they are attached and ecstatic about it, we know that suffering awaits them ahead.
However, sometimes it is still the right attitude to feel happy for them. They have indeed obtained what they have longed for, and from it, they derive happiness.
Ajahn Suchart also teaches that ' being successful, getting married or getting a raise, you congratulate him/her—this is muditā' .
If we remain indifferent to anyone's worldly achievements or even feel jealous, that is not the attitude of Buddhism.
“...Whoever has more fortune and merit than us,
is more skilled, better, and more prosperous than us,
we should express our joy for them.
This means appreciating that
they have made efforts to cultivate their merit.
Now, the merit they have built
is bearing fruit in their lives.
If we wish to be like them,
we must strive to build our own merit,
and in the future,
we too can become like them.
It is better to think this way than to envy them,
because no matter how much we envy, we still won’t gain anything.
True happiness and prosperity
come from accumulating various merits.”
“……誰的福報和功德比我們多，
比我們更有才能、更好、更繁榮，
我們應該為他們表達喜悅。
這意味著欣賞他們
努力修行所累積的功德。
現在，他們所建立的功德
已經在他們的生活中顯現了效果。
如果我們想要像他們一樣，
我們就必須努力建立自己的功德，
未來，我們也能變得像他們一樣。
這樣思考比嫉妒他們要好，
因為無論我們如何嫉妒，最終也不會得到任何好處。
真正的幸福和繁榮
來自於積累各種功德。”
