谈本分

CONDUCT

不求身体健康，只求精神敏睿；不求事事如意，只求毅力勇气；不求减輕責任，只求增加力量。

Let us not ask for good health, only clarity of mind. Let us not seek for everything to go our way, only the courage and strength to persevere. Let us not wish for lesser responsibilities, only the ability to shoulder more.

修佛是操作性很强的法门

【道】不是在文字上求，應在曰常的人事中磨出【定力】，由【定】而産生【慧】。

<< Words and writings are not the way to spiritual cultivation. Building equanimity and centeredness of mind through the tests of daily affairs and interactions is what shall lead to wisdom. <O></O>

修佛是操作性很强的法门。必须操练，在实战中验证。

就像一位理发师，她既要能说出各种发行的剪法，又要真能剪出来才行。
如果她能说出100种发型，结果一种也剪不出来，那不能算是理发师。
