而上述種種，為何跟「空法」的修持有關？因為空法思想並非單一存在，亦即所謂「惡見空」，即認為空即是一無所有，如此一來所有思想、行為全呈現否定，這種錯亂的認同，更覺可怕！
Why does all these have anything to do with Śūnyatā? Because Śūnyatā does not exist alone. If Śūnyatā exists by itself, then it can result in the "Loathed View of Śūnyatā." The "Loathed View of Śūnyatā" is the view that Śūnyatā is emptiness. This type of view causes us to deny all thoughts and behaviors. This type of misconception is dreadful.
我想要說的是：「空」既為佛教中心思想，那麼架構在它旁邊的思路，當更為寬廣、更為活靈活現！如果說：通向空法之路須學會放下，則該放下什麼？所有感覺嗎？人類所有感覺牽動一切喜、怒、哀、樂的神經，透過喜歡與厭惡，簡單的勾劃出情感，很多人主張，一切放下便成「佛」，
What I want to say is this. If Śūnyatā is the center of Buddhist thoughts, then the ideas and thoughts surrounding Śūnyatā should be broader and more applicable to life. If Śūnyatā is about detachment and letting go, then what should we let go? All the senses? Mankind's senses toggles all the happiness, anger, sadness and joy that are our emotions. Many people promote the idea that if we can let go all these emotions, we will all become Buddha.
然則「佛者，覺也。」這該是比較正確的解釋！既然覺者，便有其內涵可為之討論，並非是完全供在神聖殿堂的聖人！
However, "Buddha, the enlightened" should be the better interpretation. If Buddha is enlightened, then there must be ideas about Buddha that can be discussed, and not someone we put on a pedestal and worship.
這種說法，或許很多人不為接受，且一思及西 方基督教、及教廷至今的權威論，上帝是不容懷疑的，乃至運用政治力作背景，躲在幕後操控一切，或是東方思想每每把有用之人聖人化！聖人化的結果，也是一切 勿庸置疑，只要是大師或聖人所說，一切都是對的。
Many people will not be able to accept this line of thoughts. In Western Christianity, and the Catholic church, the authority of God cannot be questions, they even hide behind politics to control everything behind the scene. Likewise, Eastern culture tends to make everyone who is anyone a saint. The result of sainthood is that nothing ever needs to be questioned. Everything spoken by the Masters or saints must be correct.
夾存在這東、西二大文化下，我想還原「佛陀是覺者」，才是真正的恢復其本來面目！
Caught between the these types of Eastern and the Western cultures, I think returning to "Buddha is someone who was enlightened" is proper, because it is the original Buddhism.
