請告訴我你認為輪回是什么。
For me it's not just a physical picture of, you know, the circle of being born and ageing and dying, for me it has something to do with the state of mind as well.
對我來說，輪回不僅僅是生老病死循環的物質狀態，它還跟精神狀態有關。

At the time Buddha started to teach, many understood life as a relentless cycle, where all were born, grew old, died and were re-born in another life.

就像一個永恒的困境，人們深陷其中而不得解脫。但佛陀認為有可能擺脫輪回。
He taught that through one's actions, karma, and through a way of life that was characterized by wisdom, morality and compassion, via meditation and the triumph of the mind over craving, desire and excess, it was possible to achieve enlightenment, Nirvana.
他教導說，通過一個人的行為、業力，通過以智慧、道德、同情為特征的生活方式，通過冥想，以及用精神力量控制欲望、貪婪和放縱，就有可能得到大徹大悟，即涅槃。

在座的這些人們哀悼失去的親人，但也同樣心懷希望，由于他們所愛的人生前積攢了善業，逝者至少離開悟更進了一步。

他們也希望逝者有機會投胎成為一個更好的人，乃至終有一日可脫離輪回。
What goes around comes around, and that's what I believe, this body is just like a house that we rent for a while.
我相信善有善報，惡有惡報。軀體只是我們臨時租住的居所。
After we die we have to find a new place to live, it's impermanent, it's just temporary.
軀體死后，我們必須尋找新地方居住。這就是無常，都是臨時性的。
So, good Buddhists believe that we should do our best in this life to guarantee a better place after we die.
因此，虔誠的佛教徒相信我們應當在今生努力做到最好，以確保死后有更好的去處。
