愛有清淨與不清淨兩種，差別在於佔有或放下。清淨的愛是長久安樂的根源。不清淨的愛只會造成痛苦。因為被自我和佔有欲所染污，不清淨的愛會導致嫉妒、憤怒，最後不歡而散。清淨的愛沒有佔有，帶來和諧與安詳，甚至可以改變一位不好的伴侶。這樣的關係即成了菩薩道。

節錄自《噶千語錄一》P.48-49，台灣噶千佛學會結緣出版，2015。

There is pure love and impure love. The difference lies in possessiveness or release. Pure love is the root of lasting happiness. Impure love creates only suffering. Impure love that is tainted by the ego and possessiveness leads to jealousy, then anger and finally separation. Pure love free from possessiveness leads to harmony and peace and may even transform a negative companion. A relationship then becomes a bodhisattva activity.
