覺觀
修行者，不外乎覺觀兩項 佛者，覺也 由不覺，初覺，到本覺，繼而穿透生活中點點滴滴，成圓覺 觀者，覺中觀察萬事萬法，每個當下也 未覺者，只見身心，觀身感覺，思想內容 初覺者，思想短暫停頓，靈光初閃中，見到身心之變幻無常，身心之外，或之下，似乎大有內容 透過摸索，訓練，學習，驗證，忽然一刻，匯入本覺，醍醐灌頂，體會到無邊無量的生命本然，與萬事萬物之不二真相，無所不包，無所黏著，無邊自在。於其中，為根本覺，於其中見萬事萬物，為根本觀 本覺就是無上正等正覺，正覺中，是無上正等正觀。以後的，已離我執法執之無明顛倒，生命由往昔願力，與法界因緣推進前行了 圖：萬佛聖城網

Light 光明
In Buddhist vocabulary, the word light 燈 refers to our innate wisdom. When we surrender our erroneous identification, and illusive attachment to the ego through nondualitic wisdom, inner light shines forth, lighting up the multifaceted world with its intrinsic compassion and inclusion within the universal systems. Therefore is the term, enlightenment. #light#inner#nondualistic#wisdom#compassion#diversity#inclusion#enlightenmemt photo: Eiheiji, Japan

向陽
讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路； 行萬里路，不如閱人無數； 閱人無數，不如名師指路； 名師指路，不如貴人相助； 貴人相助，不如自己頓悟； 自己不悟，神仙也難救。 這裡，包含了三個方向的成長： 1. 外在（知識）-中間（閱歷，受教，受助）-到內在（領悟，成就） 2. 理論（知識）-驗證（閱歷）- 實踐能力（領悟） 3.他力（知識，閱人，明師）-自力 （實踐，驗證，改進） 是很簡練的人生觀察，和成長總結。 學習工作如是，做人修道更是。 重點，不是線性的高下比較，選高棄底，而是要全方位的學習，生活和成長。讀書，遊歷，閱人，向明師（不一定是名師）請教，修福德貴人，自己努力反省檢討，領悟後繼續無止境的改進和超越，全方位進行。一通百通，百通一通。 有這樣的眼界和實踐毅力，人生必定成功。

修身, 修心, 修神
修身不如修心，心行身故 修心不如修神，神生心故 此神非形而下可描述之神，乃無始無終，無邊無量，上通下達，之不二源頭 故初品修身，中品修心，上品修神 圖：一代宗師 The Grandmaster 問: 請問心與神有什麼分別？ 答: 這裡的心（中文裡有很多不同意思的心），指思想心；這裡的神，指思想心背後的生命源頭。前者如浮雲，飄泊不定；後者為生命本源，不一不二，無邊無量，無始無終。技術上，先修福報正知見，再調身心，才會有條件探索和感受神。
