..續本文上一頁了解人類的本性後，就能生起正知。他深知人類不是沒有生命的石頭，他意識到必須自我發展潛能、增長智慧和慈悲心。他同時也理解到，身爲人類不是一件容易的事。尤其，當有機會接觸佛法時，他完全明了生命是無常的，于是，他開始實踐佛法。他意識到實踐于佛法能斷除困擾他一生的無明和貪欲。
Based on these realizations and understanding, he will then try to be more aware of what and how he thinks, speaks and acts. He will consider if his thoughts, speech and actions are beneficial, done out of compassion and have good effects for himself as well as others. He will realize the true value of walking the road that leads to complete self transformation, which is known to Buddhists as the Noble Eightfold path. This Path can help a person to develop his moral strength (sila)through the restraint of negative actions and the cultivation of positive qualities conductive for personal, mental and spiritual growth. In addition, it contains many techniques which a person can apply to purify his thoughts, expand the possibilities of the mind, and bring about a complete change towards a wholesome personality. This practice of mental culture (bhavana) can widen and deepen the mind towards all human experience, as well as the nature and characteristics of phenomena, life and the universe. In short, this leads to the cultivation of wisdom (panna). As his wisdom grows, so will his love, compassion, kindness, and joy. He will have greater awareness to all forms of life and better understanding of his own thoughts, feelings, and motivations.
當了解生命的真相後，他更加注意于他自己的身、語、意叁行，他知道透過善的身、語、意行，能夠利益自己，也利益他人。他清楚的了解到自我價值發展的道路──八聖道。實踐于八聖道，能協助一個人發展「戒」──將一個人的負面行爲轉化爲正面行爲，獲得精神與心靈的力量，淨化思想，發展心識，從而改變整個人生。實踐「定」──能夠獲得人生的真正經驗，了解宇宙、生命一切現象的真性。當「定」獲得全部的發展後，就會生起「慧」。當「慧」生起時，就會獲得善心、歡愉和慈悲。這時，他更加了解生命的所有組成部分和自己的思想、感受和動向了。
In the process of self-transformation, a person will no longer aspire for a pine birth as his ultimate goal in life. He will then set his goal much higher, and model himself after the Buddha who has reached the summit of human perfection and attained the ineffable state we call Enlightenment or Nibbana. It is here that a man develops a deep confidence in the Triple Gem and adopts the Buddha as his spiritual ideal. He will strive to eradicate greed, develop wisdom and compassion, and to be completely liberated from the bounds of Samsara.
當一個人獲得自我的發展後，就不再執著于生命及無盡的欲望，他把理想訂得更高，他以佛陀那純淨的人性境界爲榜樣，努力爭取證悟于涅槃。他發展了對叁寶的崇敬，以佛陀爲精神支柱。他棄除貪欲，開發智慧和慈悲心，完整的從輪回中獲得自我的解脫。
