戒取——

如果你個人對於遵守與學習的公共道德，ㄧ直處於被引導的狀態，而你本身並不明白那一些道德及高尚願力的可行性，

甚至於所努力的行為能幫助自己多少？

假使這些都無法自我評估的話，請問又將如何去清楚因緣果做釋疑的理解？

「戒取」能清楚，才能幫助自己站穩，不然一個規範都還沒搞清楚，就把自己綁死了，

沒有因爲規範把自己提升，反而ㄧ直在窮於應付規範，想得佛法智慧者當深思。

Reflection 3

 

Attachment to precepts—

 

If you are always being guided by others in learning and following public morality, but you yourself do not really understand whether those moral ideals and vows are actually practical, or even how much your own efforts truly benefit yourself—

 

then without the ability to evaluate these matters independently, how can you clearly understand causes, conditions, and karmic results?

 

Only by clearly understanding can a person stand firmly.

Otherwise, you may bind yourself to rules without even understanding them.

 

Instead of being elevated by the discipline, you may end up constantly occupied with trying to cope with the rules.

 

Those who wish to obtain the wisdom of the Buddha should reflect on this deeply.
