追求目標但又不住其成果, 何解?
Reflecting on this seeming paradox, of pursuing a goal yet with no attachment to its outcome?
Jinpa: 因為我們追尋目標的過程中, 有許多必要因素不是我們能控制的. 所以積極卻不要太在意結果.
The goal we seek, whether or not we succeed often depends on many factors beyond our control. So our responsibility is to pursue the goal with all the dedication we can muster, do the best we can but not become fixated on a preconceived notion of a result. Sometimes, actually quite often, our efforts lead to an unexpected outcome that might even be better than what we originally had in mind.
