◎失敗是成功的原因，這句話絕不是一個口號，因為從失敗中可以增強自己的能力，能力增強以後，信心也增長了，這個不斷增長的信心就是「淨信心」。如此繼續往前走，困難依然存在，每一步都有每一步的困難，但因為能力和信心的增長，卻走得一步比一步堅穩踏實，能夠恰如其份的跨上去。【日常師父法語】

Failure is the cause of success. This is not just a slogan since failures can increase your own abilities. After that, you can have more confidence. Such ever-growing confidence is your “mind of pure faith”. If you keep moving forward, difficulties will still persist in every step you make. However, due to your improved abilities and confidence, your steps get firmer and firmer and get you elevated appropriately. – Master Jih Chang

◎任何事非得實際去做才能產生問題，才會看見問題，而唯有在那個時候，才可以找到問題的癥結所在，對症下藥並解決問題，一步一步走向成功！所以「失敗」是絕對需要！【日常師父法語】

Whatever you do, it takes actual actions to create problems and let you see them. It is the only time when you can find where things go wrong, find the antidote and solve the problems. Then you can move toward success step by step. Therefore, “failure” is absolutely necessary. – Master Jih Chang

◎假設有這種錯誤的觀念，那我們種下去的是末法的因，值此正法寢滅時，怎可再造末法之因？佛法衰頹時，空談理論而未付實踐，理論是戲論；昧於理論而盲目實踐，實踐也是戲論！因為兩者都得不到結果！【日常師父法語】

Having such wrongful conception, we are creating causes for Dharma’s Demise. Now that the true Dharma is on the wane, how could we proceed with such causes? When Buddha Dharma is decaying, discussing without practicing makes knowledge become conceptual proliferation. Practicing without proper knowledge, practice also becomes conceptual proliferation. It is because neither of them can be fruitful. – Master Jih Chang

◎要對治無始的習氣，其整個內容可以含攝為「戒」，拿佛陀制定的戒律，不時反觀自己，在師友的互動中發現自己的癥結所在，並在師友的規勸勉勵中改正自己的習氣。【日常師父法語】

To eliminate our karmic impressions since the beginningless time, the whole cultivation can be concluded as “precepts” – to use the disciplines created by the Buddha to have introspection constantly. Thus we can find our bottleneck through the interaction with the guru and fellow practitioners and correct our karmic impressions with their advices and encouragement. – Master Jih Chang

◎無始以來習氣的力量非常強大，就像我們坐在火車上，根本不覺得火車在動，住在地球上，絕對看不見地球在轉，雖然看不見事情的真相，但我們坐在火車上卻跟著火車動，住在地球上，卻跟著地球轉，我們隨著業流走而無可奈何，這就是當你想去努力皈依的時候，卻提不起來的原因，所以不以強大力量去思惟的話，不可能策動我們去受皈依戒。【日常師父法語】

Our habitual behavior from the beginningless time is very strong. It is just like our not feeling the train moving when we are on the train and not seeing the Earth spinning when we live on the Earth. We appear helpless in the flow of karma, which is why you cannot give rise to your aspiration when striving to take refuge. Therefore, if we do not ponder with great momentum, it is unlikely to motivate us to receive the precepts of refuge. – Master Jih Chang

◎當我們覺得自己在做不可能的事的時候，要堅信只要如理如法地做，一切都將成為可能。若能這樣想，我們就充滿了希望。【日常師父法語】

When we think we are doing something impossible, we shall believe everything can be possible as long as we act correctly and in accordance with the Dharma. Thinking this way, we will be hopeful. – Master Jih Chang

◎諸位要記得，任遇何境總歸反省自己、淨化自己，且要不停地保持這種祈求和希望，這就是最實在的淨罪集資。屆時，善知識一定會現起。【日常師父法語】

You must remember: having introspection and self-purification in all conditions and constantly keeping such prayer and aspiration are the most realistic ways of cleaning sins and accumulating merits. Then the Guru will absolutely show himself in front of us. – Master Jih Chang
