◎慧光和上開示　

　　當人能在困境之中，不忘慈悲，安忍于道的修持，利樂身邊一切有情，這才突顯出生命的價值與光輝。

　　When a person lives in difficulties and does not forget compassion, he peacefully endure the suffering with the cultivation of the Path to bring happiness and benefits to all the surrounding sentient beings. This makes the value and glory of life conspicuous.

　　Self confidence comes from you completely accepting who you are.

　　皈依，不是去參加一個儀式；而是面對境界考驗時的一種態度。皈-是轉身，依-是依靠的意思。當我們的煩惱生起時，要以叁寶爲依靠，懂得回頭，不要再走生死的路!

　　Taking refuge is not just merely participating in a ceremony, but it is an attitude that one has while facing challenges of life. The meaning of "taking refuge" is to turn around and rely on. When we have mental afflictions, we must rely on the Triple Gem for guidance and learn to turn away from the path of cyclic rebirth.

　　我們學習了空、放下、不要執著等正見，千萬不能錯解佛意，將它當成不努力或是懈怠的代名詞。
