如果你不清楚自己人生終點在那裡，就會覺得自己始終是在原地踏步，而非往前進。當發現工作、修行、無法感到快樂滿足的時候，就必須有所改變，可惜的是卻沒有一個確切的方法！
雖然嘗試了各種方法，卻只停留在毫無系統的追逐。還沒有清楚自己想要的是什麼？這更徒增感受著更重的失落感，由衷希望此一生中，活著能做些有意義的事。
工作、家庭、事業、修行，這都是可以給與人生更多意義的活躍動力。但一旦遇上困難挑戰時，往往卻又容易失去了動力與熱情！在這情形之下、往往讓人很難做出正確的選擇和決定。
勉勵大眾：修學佛法的知見，正確認得架構想法，把生活當歷練，待大腦中一扇隱藏的大門被打開之後，心情大徹悟，所有沒注意過的事、人、機會資源就會顯現出來、你就能夠清楚體驗到這種感受。
想要徹底了解自己、必須很專注：靜坐下來問自己…深入思惟問題。找到答案…找出你的理想…找到起點。必須將理想的精髓涵進去…工作、人事、家庭、事業、修行佛法等……。這樣就容易達成，比較實際於創造生活的理想，實現夢想的目標。

When I Find It

If you don’t know where your life ends, you will feel that you are making no headway. When you find that you are not happy with your job and cultivation, you have to make some changes, but unfortunately you don’t have a precise way.

Even though you have tried every possible way, you are just pursuing unsystematically, not knowing what you really want. This just enhances your sense of loss. You may wish to do something significant in this life.

Work, family, business, and cultivation can all bring people more active, significant force. But when meeting difficulties and challenges, you may lose the force and passion. Under such circumstances, it is hard for you to make a correct choice and decision.

Here I would like to encourage everybody: Learn the views of Buddhism and correctly understand its structural thinking. Think of life as training. After the hidden door in the brain is opened, you will be greatly enlightened, and the matters, people, opportunities, and resources that you never paid attention to before will manifest. Then you will experience such a feeling.

You have to be very attentive if you want to know yourself completely. Quietly sit down, ask yourself, and ponder on problems deeply. Find out the answers, your ideal, and the starting point. Put the essence of your ideal into the work, people, matters, family, business, and the cultivation of Buddhism. In this way, it will be easier to attain the goal, create an ideal life, and fulfill your dream.

I hereby share this with everybody. Auspiciousness to all.
