◎作觀功念恩的時候，不一定要整天地看。只要想著主要的一件事。如對我的家人，我能不能去觀功念恩。我對社會上的人，能不能觀功念恩。對其他的朋友，我能不能觀功念恩。透過此，我能不能察覺到，我現在造的是什麼業。就是我眼前一時還沒有辦法改過來，至少有一點，當我去觀察它時，這心情和以前不太一樣。以前做完了事情，覺得理所當然。現在做完了，自己心裡覺得我有點不對。這不對的心，就是好現象。造的惡業，從現在開始，就漸漸地減輕了。假定我能追悔，能皈依的話，很快地慢慢地就能消失了。【日常師父法語】
When observing merits and appreciating kindness, we do not have to keep looking all day. We just focus on the primary things. For example, can I observe merits and appreciate kindness of my family? Can I do this to other people in the society? Or Can I do this to my other friends? With such approach, can I be aware of what kind of karma I am creating? Even if I cannot change it immediately, at least I can observe it with different mentality. When I did something in the past, I used to take it for granted. Now in the same case, I feel somewhat uneasy with it. Such uneasiness is actually a good sign. From now on, I can alleviate the problem little by little. If I can repent and take refuge, it will gradually disappear. – Master Jih Chang
