譬喻问号(二) 智慧似海洋，深乎浅乎？戒律似老师，是正是邪？布施似耕耘，有收无收？供养似奉献，真心假意？美女似春花，是久是暂？欲望似饑渴，太多太少？语言似冬阳，炙乎暖乎？笑容似春风，是真是假？时间似车轮，该快该慢？精进似电力，是动是停？(譬喻問號(二) 智慧似海洋，深乎淺乎？戒律似老師，是正是邪？布施似耕耘，有收無收？供養似奉獻，真心假意？美女似春花，是久是暫？欲望似饑渴，太多太少？語言似冬陽，炙乎暖乎？笑容似春風，是真是假？時間似車輪，該快該慢？精進似電力，是動是停？) Metaphors (2) Wisdom is an ocean. Is it shallow or deep? Precepts are teachers. Are they righteous or not? Generosity is cultivation. Will there be harvests or not? Offering is dedication. Is it genuine or pretentious?

Time is a cartwheel. Should it go fast or slow? Diligence is electricity. Should it energize or stop?
