一时与长久岁月是流转的文化是千秋的花开是时节的青山是常在的劝导是有限的守戒是不变的感受是短暂的相处是长远的伤痛是当下的欢喜是持久的委屈是暂时的真相是恒常的功名是一时的生命是一世的生死是瞬间的愿力是无穷的妄念是刹那的佛性是不灭的因缘是变化的悟道是永恒的(一時與長久歲月是流轉的文化是千秋的花開是時節的青山是常在的勸導是有限的守戒是不變的感受是短暫的相處是長遠的傷痛是當下的歡喜是持久的委屈是暫時的真相是恆常的功名是一時的生命是一世的生死是瞬間的願力是無窮的妄念是剎那的佛性是不滅的因緣是變化的悟道是永恆的) Momentary vs Everlasting Age is fleeting, but culture is timeless. Flowers are seasonal, but mountains are abiding. Counseling is limited, but discipline is sustainable. Feelings are momentary, but relationships are for life. Pain is transient, but joy is perpetual. Misunderstanding is temporary, but Truth is eternal. Fame and gain are short-lived, but life is everlasting. Birth and death are ephemeral, but vows are abiding. Delusion is swift, but Buddha-nature is imperishable. Causes and conditions are changing, but enlightenment is forever.

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? Beauty is a spring blossom. Does it last long or short? Desire is thirst. Is it too much or too little? Words are the winter sun. Do they warm or burn? Smile is a spring breeze. Is it real or fake? Time is a cartwheel. Should it go fast or slow? Diligence is electricity. Should it energize or stop?
坐久成劳(坐久成勞) sitting for a long time, makes one weary
法住什久(法住甚久) his true law shall last long
