- 譬喻问号(四) 求法似爬山, 是高是远? 心性似明镜, 照己照人? 因缘似条件, 够与不够? 寺院似学校, 有学无学? 饮食似汤药, 是合不合? 人身似物品, 有好有坏? 生命似风灯, 是安是危? 人心似猿马, 是燥是安? 欲望似深渊, 可下不可? 傲慢似高山, 不登为好!(譬喻問號(四) 求法似爬山, 是高是遠? 心性似明鏡, 照己照人? 因緣似條件, 夠與不夠? 寺院似學校, 有學無學? 飲食似湯藥, 是合不合? 人身似物品, 有好有壞? 生命似風灯, 是安是危? 人心似猿馬, 是燥是安? 欲望似深淵, 可下不可? 傲慢似高山, 不登為好!) Metaphors (4) Learning Dharma is climbing a mountain. Is it tall or far? The mind is a bright mirror. Is the reflection you or others? Conditions are terms. Are they sufficient or not?

Is it safe or is it in danger? Human mind is a monkey or horse. Is it restless or is it peaceful? Desire is an abyss. Can you go down there or not? Arrogance is a lofty mountain. You may as well stay away!
