  Change-the most constant thing in this world. Without change, a person cannot develop awareness. This path of practice that I take leads me to my own awareness leading to the true nature of life. Life is not ideal. Day by day, I know that as I go through it, I experience a lot of things and these experiences sometimes fail to live up with my own expectations. The unenlightened life that I go through and the way I see this world that I live for is my own suffering.

  Cause has its own effects. It is true that everything in this world arises with cause and conditions and also ends with cause and conditions. What we do now, will surely have an effect on our lives tomorrow or the days after that. That is the outcome of the things that we do or the decisions that we make everyday. To have a good outcome, the path that we should take should always be middle way. It means that there should be no extremes in life. Everything should be balanced to transcend the suffering that we experience. In addition, making the right decisions may mean that we should put efforts in our own actions. Having the right mind and action I know will eventually lead my path to an enlightened life which is my ultimate bliss.

  (世界上最恒常不变的事就是——变化。如果没有变化,我们的觉性就不能显发。修行,让我终能找到自身的觉性,进而认识生命的本来面貌。生活并不能尽如人意,每天的经历中,都有许多事情不能如己所愿。不如意的生活和我看世界的角度,就是我受苦的原因。

  有因必定有果。世间上的每一件事都从因缘而生,也从因缘而灭。我们今日所做的事或所下的决定,必定在明天或未来产生结果。如果想得到好的结果,就必须依中道而行,凡事不能太过极端,每件事都做得不偏不倚,才能避免受苦。此外,要想作出正确的决定,代表我们应当善加注意自己的行为。有正确的思想及行为,才能让我达到觉悟,这才是最究竟的快乐。)
