◎人都有一個本能─追求快樂、遠離痛苦，之所以得不到快樂，是由於我們對事情的真相看不清楚。要離苦得樂，由「業」決定，業的真正重心在行，行的真正指導原則在知見。如果不以佛告訴我們的道理去做，一定隨順著無明，所以要刻意去對治。佛法告訴我們真正的對治是「無我慧」。【日常師父法語】
All humans have this instinct – to obtain happiness and escape suffering. The reason why we cannot obtain happiness is that we fail to see the essence of things. Our attempt to escape suffering and obtain happiness depends on karma. The kernel of karma is our actions, while our actions are directed by our insights. If we do not follow the principles that the Buddha tells us, we follow nescience. Therefore, we must correct this consciously. The Teaching of Buddha tells us that the most proper antidote for nescience is “the wisdom of selflessness.” – Master Jih Chang
