Peace of Mind(又译作《通往内心安宁之路》)是美国著名犹太教拉比、知名心灵导师、传道士、超级畅销书作家约书亚·罗斯·李普曼(Joshua Loth Liebman)的绝世灵性经典著作,也是在全美深具影响力的灵性读本,曾连续58周高居《纽约时报》排行榜冠军。
Peace of Mind
Joshua Loth Liebman
Once, as a young man full of exuberant fancy, I undertook to draw up a catalogue of the acknowledged “goods” of life. I set down my inventory of earthly desirables: health, love, beauty, talent, power, riches and fame.
When my inventory was completed, I proudly showed it to a wise elder who had been the mentor and spiritual model of my youth. “An excellent list,” he said, pondering it thoughtfully. “Well digested in content and set down in not-unreasonable order. But it appears, my young friend, that you have omitted the most important element of all. You have forgotten the one ingredient, lacking which each possession becomes a hideous torment.”
With a pencil stub he crossed out my entire schedule. Then, having demolished my adolescent dream structure at a single stroke, he wrote down three syllables: peace of mind. “This is the gift that God reserves for His special proteges,” he said.
“Talent and beauty He gives to many. Wealth is commonplace, fame not rare. But peace of mind – that is His final guerdon of approval, the fondest insignia of His love. He bestows it charily. Most men are never blessed with it; others wait all their lives – yes, far into advanced age – for this gift to descend upon them.”

平和之心
约书亚·罗斯·李普曼
曾经,当我还是一个充满幻想的年轻人时,我着手草拟了一份被公认为人生“幸福”的目录。我将世人祈求之物制成清单:健康、爱情、美丽、才智、权力、财富和名誉。
当清单完成之后,我自豪地把它向一位睿智的长者展示,他曾是我年少时的良师与精神模范。他认真想了一会儿,说:“是一张优秀的清单,内容完整详细,记录顺序也合理。可是,我年轻的朋友,你好像忽略了一个最重要的因素。没有它,每项财产都会成为可怕的折磨。”
他用一个小铅笔头划掉了我的整张清单。这像一次重击摧毁了我的青年梦想,之后,他写下了三个字——“心之静”。“这是上帝为他特别的子民保留的礼物。”,他说到。
“上帝赐予很多人才能与美丽。财富是平凡的,名望也不罕见,但心灵的宁静才是他允诺的终极赏赐,是他爱的最佳象征。他施予它的时候很小心,大部分人从不曾享有过,有的人为之等待了一生,直到两鬓斑白,才终得偿所愿。”
