五道看眾生
凡夫：眾生為獨立之身心存在個體，包括自利損他的惡人，自利利他之善人，和人云亦云之羊群。是有生有滅的生命體。當中有人及時行樂，有人追求身意識之永恆天堂和淨土，有人探索真理。 聲聞：眾生為虛假存在之身心合成物，身心滅盡時無有眾生。 獨覺：眾生為因緣和合之幻相，非有非無，迷者誤認爲相，覺者離相非相悟中道，入不二本體。 菩薩：眾生為真實存在之迷途生命，與自身一體，是前進的挑戰和動力。老子云：不善者，善者之資。 法身大士/佛：眾生是眾生，眾生不是眾生，眾生是名眾生。本體中，含融一切，相用其中。不可說，而包含一切說。

修行核心 – 能與所
能為本心，所為現象 修行就是修心。先靜妄心，再找真心，然後置真心（能）於一處（所）。 置心一處，生命成長，開展，無事不辦。 最後人生定位至無邊無量，孕育生化萬物之無始無終不二源頭，重重無盡，無盡成長，無盡超越。 在此方向，若能置心（真心，本心，不二心）一處，便行行可修行，到處可修行。i.e. 工作可修行，家庭可修行，食飯可修行，掃地可修行，以至生活就是修行。 凡夫萬法中流轉聲聞悟能無有所緣覺能所中自在菩薩活用能所二普賢圓滿能所一佛圓滿中能所泯

Diamond Sutra – Buddha is beyond image and sound – 金刚经 – 若以色见我，以音声求我，是人行邪道，不能见如来
