開始的結束 The End of The Beginning

After Master Ban Ji finished "Body and Spirits (Why I Practice Nidānas)," she told me that she's all finished. She felt that she had said everything she wanted to say about Buddhism and the Practice of Buddhism.

半寄師父寫完 『肉體與精神 (我為什麼修因緣法)』後，跟我說她寫完了。她覺得已經說了對佛教和修行所有想說的話。

For me, I am at a point on the path that it is no longer about theoretical understanding. It is now more about daily training to strengthen myself. Just like an athlete who needs to train daily to make himself stronger, faster, more precise and agile, Practice Buddhism is the same. So it is unlikely that I will have much to write about.

而我 ，在這條路上，不需要每天的探討理論的理解，而是訓練，以加強自己。就像一個運動選手需要每天訓練使自己更強，更快，更精確和敏捷，修行也是一樣。因此，我不太會有太多內容可以寫。

If there are any new articles, it will probably only be in the form of reader questions or contributions.

新的文章可能只會是讀者回饋或問題。

All of our articles can be categorized into four sections.

我們所有的文章，可以分為四部。

There is "A Guide to Buddhist Thoughts" that can be consider the background text for our Practice.

《佛法的思向》可以說是我們的法門的指南。

Our Method describes our method, and my personal experiences while Practicing the method.

修行法門說明我們的法門，和我個人的經驗。

Investigation into Practice are articles based on my observations of the Practice while on the Path, and Master Ban Ji's discussions on the subject of Practice.

修行探討的文章是我在修行中的觀察和半寄師父對修行的討論。

Finally, Buddhism Notes contains miscellaneous articles on topics that might interest Buddhists and not necessary relate to Practice.

最後! 佛教雜記有一些主題佛教徒可能會有興趣，但不一定跟修行有關。

We will continue to monitor our emails and blogs for any questions and comments.

我們會繼續留意我們的電子郵件和回答問題。

新年快樂 Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all.

祝福大家新年快樂。

Notes to English Readers

I have re-translated Master Ban Ji's articles and book from the inception of the blog to Nov. 2011.
Hopefully, I have fixed some grammars and typos and provided more clarity than before.

感恩節快樂！ Happy Thanksgiving!

We finally have an American holiday that we get to use as an excuse to take some time off.

我們終於有了一個美國的節日可以用為藉口來休息一下。

對美國讀者以及其他想要有開心的一天的讀者說感恩節快樂。

We will resume on Monday.

我們將在週一繼續發表文章。

Wish everyone a happy Double Ten Day! (At least for the Taiwanese readers. For non-Taiwanese readers, Bet you didn't think you will learn about Taiwanese holidays on this blog.)
We will rest a few days as well.

However, I would like to request that when you do so, please acknowledge the source on your channel as well. One way to do so is simply to place a link back to the article, I am sure that all social sites have this capabilities.

I feel that this is a common courtesy that any students of Buddhism should be able to perform.


這是一種禮貌，任何佛教徒都應該能夠做到的。

我的簡介 About Myself

Master Ban Ji wants me to write something about myself. She thinks it might help Chinese people understand my Chinese materials better. She's the Master, who's to argue.

半寄師父要我寫個人簡介，他覺得華人看我的東西會有不同的想法，身為弟子的我當然不敢違背。

It is available to the right under "HELPFUL LINKS" or here.
我把它放在右邊「網頁」下面、或這裡。
