women have lived,

of Kuan-Yin,

是观音的具现,

she who perceives the cries of suffering in the world.

Women have manifested for thousands of years the strength arising from compassion in an unfiltered, unmediated way,

女性已经在数千年里体现这种来自慈悲的力量并且是一种自然直接的方式,

in perceiving suffering as it is.

去如实地感知苦难。

They have infused societies with kindness,

她们让世界充满善,

and we have really felt that as woman after woman has stood on this stage in the past day and a half.

茱蒂?威廉斯说:

It's good to meditate.

冥思有益。

I'm sorry, you've got to do a little bit of that, Jody.

不好意思,你是不是该这么做做了,茱蒂。

Step back, give your mother a break, okay.

等等,让我喘口气再说。

But the other side of the equation is you've got to come out of your cave.

但是公式的另一半是你必须走出自己的洞穴。

You have to come into the world like Asanga did,

融入这个世界如同无著,

He's going down the path.

他定睛一看,是条狗,他跪了下来。

He sees that the dog has this big wound on its leg.

The wound is just filled with maggots.

里头化脓生蛆。

He puts out his tongue in order to remove the maggots,

so as not to harm them.

And at that moment,

那一刻,

the dog transformed into the Buddha of love and kindness.
