难行能行，难舍能舍，难为能为，才能升华自我的人格。

Real peace and happiness has to come from the heart, from within. So therefore, to eliminate wars and destroying each other,to eliminate famine, disease and earthquakes,and to eliminate all other disasters an unfavourable experiences, all this can be stopped by having loving kindness toward each other. From having a good heart with loving kindness, negative action cannot arise.

by Lama Zopa Rinpoche

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

by Buddha

Our worries may zoom outward about the state of world.

"What happens if the economy plummets? If the ozone layer keeps increasing? If we have more anthrax attacks? If the terrorists take over the country? If we lose our civil liberties fighting the terrorists?"

Here, too, our creative writing ability leads to fantastic scenarios that may or may not happen, but regardless, we manage to work ourselves into a state of unprecedented despair. This, in turn, often leads to raging anger at the powers that be or to apathy, simply thinking that since everything is rotten, there's no use doing anything.

In either case, we're so gloomy that we neglect to act constructively in ways that remedy difficulties and create goodness.

菩萨是印度话，菩是菩提，是觉悟的意思；萨是萨　，就是众生的意思。

But this is like some sort of sweet fruit: even though the fruit is sweet we must rely on contact with and experience of that fruit before we will know what the taste is like. Now that fruit, even though no-one tastes it, is sweet all the same. But nobody knows of it. The Dhamma of the Buddha is like this. Even though it's the truth it isn't true for those who don't really know it. No matter how excellent or fine it may be it is worthless to them.

by Ajahn Chah

Once you have the View, although the delusory perceptions of samsara  may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears  in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds  appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense  of contentment.You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the View will keep you constantly amused, with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time.

“不知观空，必随境转。生天之后，决定堕落”。《金刚般若》就是教我们‘观空'。‘空'是指事实真相。一般初学的人听到‘空'字，往往心生恐怖─空了，怎么办？明了空就是宇宙人生的真相，就不至于有恐怖的感觉。

以为一切法都‘有'，这个观念是错误的。一切法确实没有！可是这一切法的现象明明在我们面前，怎么说它没有？佛在经上告诉我们，这不是真有，而是‘幻有、假有、妙有'。这些名相的意思表示这个有不是真的，如梦幻泡影。由此可知，‘空'不能当作‘空无'，什么都没有了，这不是佛经的空义，而是相有性空、事有理空的意思。一切相是幻象，刹那不停的变化，决定不能执着。 　　

 若不知道一切法有而非有，一定起执着；心里稍有执着，就被境界转，就不自在。凡是会受环境影响的，一定是凡夫；小乘圣人，皆不受环境影响。须陀洹、斯陀含、阿那含皆是小乘圣人，他们已不受环境影响。修行一定要‘证果'，这是我们修行的目的不证果，不得受用。证果，一定要‘离相'，就是心里不能执着，一切法相、非法相皆不能执着。这就是‘观空'，不会被外面境界所转。 　　

‘生天之后，决定堕落'，因为天最高，天福享完，寿命终了，只有往下堕落。人修得好，还可以到天上。已经在天上，天福享尽，就要往下堕落，不能出离六道轮回，因为他不晓得一切法相是幻有。如果知道一切法相都是幻有，有而非有，于一切法不执着，就不是凡夫而是圣人。凡圣的差别就在此。 　　

“入闇”是比喻，前面经文说‘如人入暗，则无所见'。闇是无明，“喻不见性。喻此人道眼未开，无明未破。虽学大乘行布施，既是盲修，必生重障”。这可能就是我们现前犯的毛病而自己不知道，还以为学佛学得不错，最后得不到结果，差错就是没有见性。
