We have said many times, dukkha is not the Truth, and liberate from dukkha is not the purpose for finding the Truth.
我們已經說過很多次，「苦」不是真相，
而且「解脫苦」並不是尋找真相的最終目的。
Then why look for the Truth?
那麼，為什麼要尋找真相呢？
Why do scientists try to explain the creation of the Universe? Why do they try explain how the world works by delving into the infinitesimal realms?
為什麼科學家想要了解宇宙的創造？
為什麼他們要鑽研無限小的世界來解釋宇宙的一切？
Because they are curious.
因為他們有好奇心。
Because in the process of looking for The Truth, we uncover many useful things that help make us and our lives better.
因為在尋找真相的過程中，我們會發現很多有用的東西，
幫助我們自己以及生活更美好。
Scientists did not go about searching for the Truth on how to talk over a great distances.
科學家沒有去尋找一個「讓人可以跟很遠的人說話」的真相。（電話的發明）
Scientists did not go about searching for the Truth on how to see from a great distance away.
科學家沒有去尋找一個「讓人可以看到一個很遠的東西」的真相。（電視的發明）
No, scientists searched for the Truth on how the world works, and in the process, they discovered electricity, and from there, they invented telephone and television.
科學家是在尋找世界的真相，在這個過程中，
他們發現電，進而發明了電話和電視。
Scientists might dream about the concepts of telephone and television, but without the knowledge of electricity, all the dreaming and trying did not get them anywhere. Telephone and television are only byproducts of the search for the Truth.
在這之前，科學家可能夢想電話和電視的發明；
但沒有電的知識，所有的夢想，都不會有用。
電話和電視只是副產品。
Likewise, we should not say that I want to be released from dukkha, so we search for the Truth on how to be released from dukkha.
同樣的， 我們不應該說，我想解脫苦，
所以我們來尋找如何解脫苦的真相。
We should be search for the Truth about ourselves, and in the process, we will discover methods on how to be released from dukkha.
我們應當尋找自己的真相，在這個過程中，
即會發現如何將苦釋放。
And we will discover methods on how to do many other things too.
在找出真相的過程中，我們也會發現如何做其他一樣有用的事。
