但是即使我們也許不能解脫和給予一切有情眾生自由,至少我們能夠
Let's say you are already have a boy friend or girlfriend or wife or husband, if you already have a partner, I think it's important to remember in Buddhism, the whole idea, especially in Mahayana Buddhism the whole idea, the core purpose of practicing Mahayana Buddhism is to give liberation to all sentient beings. Liberation means freedom basically and many times giving freedom to so-called all sentient beings is a bit like building a ladder to the sky, it's almost abstract. All sentient beings, may be neighborhood ... yes, may be like few hundred, may be, but all sentient beings that bit too much. You know, it's like
abstract.
But even though one may not able to liberate and give freedom to all sentient beings, we can at least start with giving liberate and freedom to one's own partner, husband and wife, and that's very practical advice, I must say. Many times when we having relationship, it's basically strangling each other, you know, like choking each others. And that is not a relationship, you should really give freedom to each other, give him/her freedom, give space, I think that is important.
