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? Temples are schools. Do you or do you not learn? Food is like medicine. Is it good for you or not? The body is an object. Is it functioning or not? Life is a candle in the wind. 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!

静地禅坐颐养身心海边散步开阔胸怀树下小憩清凉自在道路行走注意安全居家团聚天伦之乐月下沉思反省改过心中有佛明心见性人间修行与人为善(靜地禪坐頤養身心海邊散步開闊胸懷樹下小憩清涼自在道路行走注意安全居家團聚天倫之樂月下沉思反省改過心中有佛明心見性人間修行與人為善) Nurture the body and mind in silent meditation. Broaden your mind by taking strolls along the beach. Stay calm and at peace when resting under trees. Be careful and safe when crossing roads. Enjoy time together with family at home. Reflect in the moonlight to amend your mistakes. Be mindful of the Buddha to discover your true nature. The cultivation of life is to be kind to others.
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.
