台灣一個注重教育品質的地方、但身為島內人、總覺這個地方少了思辨能力、很會吸收、卻無力吐出再創造。
Taiwan is a country that places important emphasis on educational quality. As a member of this island, I always felt that we, as a culture, lack some capacity for critical thought. We have great ability to learn and consume, but unable to produce and innovate.
佛教在這裡成績斐然、佛教徒在這裡願佈施、出錢、出力、令人讚嘆! 叫好!
Taiwanese Buddhists' accomplishments are impressive, their willingness to donate money and energy is laudable! Cheers!
如果這裡面再加入些思考能力、是否更令信仰的空間廣大? 進而加深個人於世上的立足點、立足點的站立穩固、會讓自己感覺修學所帶來的生命意義、你會覺得這世上竟然有一種宗教、是可以讓一般人在某一個層次精神自由! 我不知道誰可以令我自由? 但透過修學我可以給自己游刃有餘的空間。
However, if we introduce more capacity for critical thinking, would we not expand the horizon of our beliefs? From there, we can further solidify and understand ourselves and our places in the world. Once we have a solid foothold, and know who we are in the world, we will be in a better position to feel the meaning of life with learning and practice. We will be amazed to know that there is a religion in the world that will let a person be free. I don't know who can free me, but I know that I can give myself more space as result of learning and practicing.
現代是資訊爆炸年代、人腦發展到一定程度、思考再次得到提升、應該是很多人的想望、我這麼看待。
We are living in an age of information explosion. The development of human brain has reach a level that is ready for an evolution of new thoughts. I think a lot of people are looking forward to it. I know I am.

師父：我慢慢的，也漸漸清楚的體會到游刃有餘的自由了，大腦突然輕鬆起來。能力大於欲望，你可以自由，能力小於欲望，卻能安於能力小而釋懷於大欲望，能如此安心地站穩，這不是克制能安心的。承認能力不夠，也就不會勉強，黑暗面也就無立足點來產生了。這不是自我安慰，也不會自怨自艾。這是一種法喜。法喜來自＂我做得到＂，來自＂我做到了＂。
恭喜 !
