To deal with someone else's anger or aggression, the best method is simply to meditate on compassion and loving-kindness, because, it seems that the aggression that one experiences from others has to do with, not having dealt with one's own consciousness' stream.
面對他人的憤怒或侵略時，最好是簡單地反思慈悲。因為，我們感受到他人的侵略的原因是我們沒有處理好自己的意識流。

The difficulties we face can help us grow. 我們面對的困難有助我們成長。
The difficulties that we face right now, from a Bodhisattva's perspective, are what is known as 'great teachers,' like wish-fulfilling jewels, because they help us to grow and develop. They are 'wish-fulfilling challenges,' 'wish-fulfilling teachers.' All of the obstacles that we face - be it health-wise; with regard to our mental development; or concerning our income; our livelihood - well, basically any difficulties, challenges or obstacles concerning day-to-day life - all of it, if we can take it the right way, can really, really help us to grow.
我們現在面對的困難，在菩薩的角度看，可以稱為’偉大上師‘，像如意寶珠，因為它們幫助我們成長和發展。它們是‘如意挑戰‘，’如意上師‘。我們面對的所有障礙 – 可能在健康上；有關智力的發展；或跟入息有關；我們的生計 – 基本上日常任何難關、挑戰或障礙 – 所有的，若我們可以保持正確的態度，真的真的能幫助我們成長。

The idea of wanting to benefit others is a quality that comes very naturally to us. It always helps to have an example, to have a teacher to remind us of this quality. However, it is innately there, so it is easy for us to relate to this idea.
我們自然生起利益他人的願望。一個榜樣常常會有幫助，有一位導師去提醒我們這品質。但是，它是與生俱來的，因此我們很容易地跟這想法聯繫起來。
In terms of a practical way of engaging with this, we have to think of all sentient beings, and it starts with all those that are near or close to us. In a way it is helpful, practical, and much more effective to begin like this, to focus on the nearest individuals. Afterwards, by continuing, persisting and putting effort into maintaining that attitude, engaging in supporting others becomes easier. I think that the benefit is not only for now, not only for the moment, but it brings peace and meaning in one’s life, and at all times.
在實行上，我們需要念記所有眾生，而由親近我們的開始。在某方面上，專注於最親近的人對開始訓練時有幫助、是踏實的，和更有效率。然後，持續、堅持，和用功地保持這態度，能讓我們更容易地支持別人。我想益處不僅在當下，不只是一霎那，而能讓一生也得到平和跟意義，恆常地。

Be a good example 成為一個好榜樣
We all have a child nature inside us, no matter what stage of life we are in. When we say to a child 'go to sleep,' of course it doesn't work. Instead, children will learn actually mostly through watching what others do, how others walk, talk, behave and express. They are always watching. This is why, no matter where we are in life's journey, since we still have this kind of child nature in us, all it takes for that person to change is for them to see a good example. And then the habit takes over and they want to mimic and imitate that. So if we wish for something or someone to change, we have to be a good example.
無論在生命那一階段，我們都有孩子的品性。當我們告訴小孩：『去睡吧』，當然這是不行。反而，小孩大多會透過觀察別人學習，人們怎樣走路、講話、行動和表達。他們常常在觀察。因此，無論我們在生命的那一階段，因為我們內在有孩子的品性，看到一個好榜樣就足以令我們改變。然後構成習慣，和他人會希望效法那行為。所以若果我們希望某東西或某人改變，我們要成為一個好榜樣。
