佛菩薩
何謂佛菩薩？ 佛為本體，菩薩為作用 光明正覺中，匯本體；智慧中，起綜合作用 階梯上，無體亂用，為凡夫；有體無用，為羅漢；有體有用，為菩薩；體用圓融，為佛 圓融中，體中起用，用中顯體，體即是用，用即是體，離體用，無體用，融體用，為體用 是為佛菩薩

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。

觀心 4 levels of Observation
觀形不如觀色，人會整形觀色不如觀氣，人會化妝觀氣不如觀神，氣幻無常觀神不如觀心，神出于心 孔子云，觀人要多方面觀，持續的觀。所謂：路遙知馬力，日久見人心。 這裡的心，為思想心之內之自心，最高者為離我執分別之不二真心。 4 levels of Observation 1. Observing appearance, is less effective than observing color, as form can be changed by surgery;2. Observing color, is less effective than observing energy, as color could be masked by make up;3. Observing energy, is less effective than observing mind, as energy changes with situations;4. Observing mind, is…

道法自然
何謂道法自然？ 人法地，人受制如地球法則（四季寒暑，地球物理）地法天，地球受制於宇宙法則（自轉公轉，物理精神）天法道，宇宙受制於形而上的道理（道）道法自然，道又受制於什麼？自然 不是大自然的自然，是自心之所然，形上形下總體法則之所然。 萬法出於自心。心善世界善，心惡世界惡，心攝世界攝。心善時，意善思想善行動善，故世界善；心惡時，意惡思想惡行動惡，故世界惡。 何謂善？對生命有正面影響和提升的為善，反者為惡。 世間迷者，不知善惡，或缺乏定力，隨波逐流。沉迷各種不善之感官刺激和追求。生命能量耗盡時，後悔莫及。 所以，道法自然中，其實並無外在神明主宰和決定命運，一切唯心做，前因爲何，現況就何。萬物都根據自身和族群之發展而繼續奮鬥而已，為自然。
