肯救人坑坎中,便是活菩萨 ① ;能脱身牢笼外,便是大英雄。
① 活菩萨:指具有慈悲与觉了之心、能救渡众生于苦难迷惑、并引导众生成佛的人。常比作“大善人”或“大恩人”。
肯把人从危难与困苦中解救出来的人,就是活菩萨。能从世俗的桎梏与羁绊摆脱出来的人,就是真英雄。
He that is willing to lend a merciful hand to the suffering and the needy is a living Buddha.
He that is capable to extricate himself from the fetters of this mundane world is a true hero.
