為什麼修行者，所求不能如願？有些事情，總是不能順你的心意呢?? 簡要歸納地說:
1. 過去式的惡業、與煩惱，還沒有完全地懺除清淨。
2. 今生你所累積、福慧的條件還不夠多。
3. 現前的人事物的善緣，還未出現。
As practitioner, why one’s wishes are not granted? Why are there certain things that cannot go according to what we have wished? To put it simply:
1. It is because of past bad karma and afflictions have not been repent thoroughly.
2. The merits and wisdom accumulated in this life is not sufficient.
3. The current favorable causes & conditions have not appeared.

每天睡前，修行者應該作些什麼？
1. 深刻地自我反省，並且檢查一日所造之身、口、意的行為
2. 若有善行，應將累積的功德，歡喜地回向，一切有情眾生。(例如:普皆回向)
3. 若造惡業，則應該用心地觀照、這些過失，並真誠地懺悔。(例如:懺悔業障)
Every night before sleeping, what does a practitioner needs to do?
1. To do a self- reflection and mentally check through what one have done in their body, speech and mind during the day.
2. If there are kind deeds, one should happily dedicate the accumulated merits to all the sentient beings (e.g. Dedicate merits pervasively and boundlessly)
3. If there are misdeeds, one should clearly be aware and know these faults, and repent sincerely. (e.g. Repent all misdeeds and afflictions).

每天剛睡醒時，修行者應該作些什麼？
1. 虔誠具信地、向三寶，向上師，不斷地祈請 (例如:皈依三寶、與依止三根本)
2. 心念放鬆，並專注地思惟，萬法的無常性 (例如:無常觀)
3. 然後，也要憶念一切苦難的眾生，並發起廣大的慈悲心 (例如:慈悲觀)
What should practitioners do each day upon waking up?
1. Pray and supplicate, sincerely with complete faith, to the Triple Gems and Guru(s) (e.g. take refuge in the Triple Gems, and rely upon the Three Roots (Guru, Yidam and Dharma Protector).
2. With a relaxed mind, focus and reflect on the impermanence of all phenomena (e.g. meditation on impermanence).
3. Then, also think of all sentient beings who are having all kinds of suffering, and give rise to vast loving kindness and compassion (e.g. meditation on loving kindness and compassion).

在承諾別人任何事前，修行者至少要先禪修、與思維三天；
假如沒有想清楚，就會太快說 YES；或沒有足夠的勇氣，說 NO！
這樣，心很散亂的結果，便容易產生、許多無謂的煩惱。
Before a practitioner promises anything, he/she should take three days to meditate and contemplate on it. For if he/she does not think carefully and says YES too soon; or lacks the courage to say NO!, then the outcome of this very restless mind is that a lot of unnecessary trouble will arise easily.

你對自己所修持的法門，為什麼會常常產生懷疑、與動搖呢?
因為你沒有真實地、建立兩種的基礎:
(1.)堅固與正確的、佛教法義的見地，與 (2.)真實修持不斷的信念。
Why does one often arise doubt and shaken our faith in our Dharma practice?
This is because one does not truly build on 2 foundations:
(1) firm and right insight in Buddhism and Dharma, and
(2) continuing commitment to put into practice the Dharma we have learnt.

修行者如何讓魔，不能破壞佛法？如何才能降伏、內外的魔障呢?
1. 常常觀照、一切萬法皆空 (例如:大智)
2. 念念不捨一切、苦難的眾生 (例如:大悲)
3. 一切身口意三業，所作、如同所言 (例如:表裡如一)
4. 常為一切諸佛、所護念中 (例如:常常念佛或念咒，並且祈請上師加持)
How can a practitioner not allow the destruction of Buddha Dharma by Mara? How can we subdue our internal obstacle and external difficulty?
1. Continuous reflection of the impermanent nature of all phenomena. (Great wisdom)
2. Having every thought that does not forsake all suffering sentient beings. (Great compassion)
3. Our body speech and mind is in accordance with what we preach or say. (Sincere/ Genuine personality)
4. Always keep in mind the thought of all Buddhas. (Often recite the name of the Buddha or mantra, and making aspirations for one’s Guru’s blessings.

«小品般若經»云：「自我的散亂心、傲慢與狂妄，才是修行中最大的魔障。」
因為，這樣的修行人，不願意親近善知識。
或者、縱使遇見了真正的善知識，但是，內在的煩惱、如同毒藥般，造成讓自己的心被蒙蔽，結果也沒把佛法，真正地聽進心裡面。所以，也無法改變、任何的業力呀!
«Small Prajnaparamita Sutra» states: "A self-centered restless mind, pride and arrogance, are the greatest hindrance and obstacles in our practice"
This type of practitioner is reluctant to learn from good teachers or mentors.
Or even if they have met a genuine good teacher or mentor, because of their inner doubts and worries, which are like poison, causing self-hindrance and obstacle to really understand the essence of Dharma.
As a result, they are unable to make any changes to their karma.
2016-7
佛教徒若只是、永遠停留在、了解佛法的知識層面上，這樣是沒有很大的用處的。了解以後，要努力地去改變，要從自己的身、口、意去努力實踐。
例如: 遇到逆境來時，或人家突然罵你，這時你應該、透過修持忍辱，來懺除過去的惡業、與煩惱，不要立刻、生起嗔心；假如人家、罵你一句，你也立刻頂回去，那就變成、冤冤相報何時了。
If a Buddhist forever remains as having knowledge of Buddha Dharma teachings, it will be not much of help to his/her practice. After learning and understanding the essence of the teachings, one should be diligent to make changes to his/her daily life starting from our body, speech and mind.
For example: When confronted with adversity, or suddenly being scolded by someone, at that moment, one should repent past bad karma and afflictions through the practice of endurance and patience, instead of getting upset or give rise to anger. If someone scolds you and you retaliate by arguing back, this bad karmic connection will continue and will have no end to it.

在道場作事時，要常常自我提醒:
「到這裡來，所修持的目的為何?」簡言之:
1. 增長自我的福慧資糧。
2. 磨練無量劫的煩惱、與習氣。
3. 修持忍辱、與謙讓的功德。
When one does things in a place of worship/practice, one should always remind oneself ‘What is the aim that I want to achieve in my practice by coming here?’ Simply put:
1. To increase one’s merit and wisdom
2. To clear one’s afflictions and bad habits from beginning of time
3. Practice and cultivation of patience and humbleness
2016-9
修行者如何知道、佛法在自己心中，有產生改變的力量？
應該常常以底下三種角度，自我觀照、與檢查之:
1. 每天的煩惱，越來越少。
2. 時時的心念，越來越清淨。
3. 自我的覺性，愈來越強。
How will a practitioner know that the Buddha Dharma has brought about changes within his/her mind and heart?
He/she should always contemplate and examine oneself based on the below 3 viewpoints:
1. Daily defilements become lesser and lesser
2. The mind (thoughts) is getting clearer and more virtuous
3. Self-awareness is getting stronger
2016-10
「什麼叫隨緣？」因不同的情況，就會有不同的詮釋。
最直接的回答，就是:「事情來了，你就盡心盡力去作，去面對它，去處理它；不論好壞，都是逃避不了的；事情過了，就從內心深處，真正地徹底放下。」
What does “accord to condition” in Buddhism mean? The meaning differ according to situations.
The most direct answer is "when situation arises, no matter good or bad, you should put your heart and mind to handle or deal with it rather than avoid it. When the situation is over, completely let go deep from the bottom of your heart."
2016-11
因為每個人的價值觀，都不盡相同，所以，當我們做如此的思維時: 「什麼是圓滿？」
「其實，從生起清淨的菩提心，無私地利他，凡事盡心盡力，就是真正的圓滿；內心自然就會升起、無量無邊的功德。」
It is because everyone's values are different, therefore we should contemplate on "What is '圓滿' (yuan man)?" (in layman terms, '圓滿' means something completed successfully)
In this case, it signifies 'generating pure bodhicitta, benefiting others unconditionally, putting in our best effort in the things we do'. As such, our mind/heart will give rise to immeasurable merits.
2016-12
人生苦短，要珍惜每一分、每一秒；要珍惜、見到的每一個人；要珍惜、遇見每一件的事物。
以感恩的心，來運用一切的人事物，作為修行路上的各種助緣。
Life is short and there is suffering. Cherish every single moment, every individual and every circumstance we encounter / come upon.
Practice with a heart of gratitude in our daily life will help in our path of spiritual (or Dharma) cultivation.
