文／佛光星雲（1927~）

人的生活在於一個「轉」字，要能轉大為小、轉苦為樂、轉迷為悟、轉邪為正；修行的祕訣，就是要能轉一切不好的境界為善美的境界。勇於接受，善於轉化，把煩惱轉成菩提，這也是人間佛教的修行重點。

Transformation

Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 -)

English translation: Venerable Zhi Yue

Life is all about transforming situations. For example, we need to be able to transform what is overwhelming into small matters, to transform suffering into happiness, to transform ignorance into enlightenment, and to transform the unwholesome into the righteous.

The key to cultivation is to transform all negative circumstances into positive ones. An important point of practicing Humanistic Buddhism is to have the courage to accept and transform defilements into Bodhi.
