知而不行，由未真信

　　慧光和上開示

　　現代社會沖刺著各種知識，人心在這種生活環境中熏習，要學習佛法，變爲更艱難，不易有突破。許多學佛修善的道理，人人皆知，但卻極少人能起身力行。這是因爲現代人，雖然擁有許多知識，但內心同時變得怯弱、猶豫、無信，對善法的修持無承擔力、無勇猛心。《金剛經》雲：「若複有人得聞是經，信心清淨，則生實相，當知是人，成就第一希有功德。」聽聞佛法，有清淨的信心，才能生起實相的智慧，獲得真正的自在快樂，這樣的人是第一難得的。

　　Knowing something and does not practice it, this is because there is no true faith.

　　In the modern time, the world is fill with all different kinds of knowledge. People”s minds are being permeated and affected by these information in their daily life. Therefore, people who wish to learn and practice the Dharma become more difficult without easy breakthroughs. Although people know many teachings of the Buddha or the teachings of good, but only a few can really put them in practice. This is because people in modern days may have much knowledge but their mind become weak, doubtful and without faith. Thus, there is no valiant determination or power in committing oneself to the practice of good. Like the Diamond Sutra says, “If someone hears this teaching and have pure faith, he will give rise to the wisdom of Truth. You should know that this person has realized the most auspicious and rare virtue.”
