Form an Aspiration to Cultivate
進入佛門修行，要能有明顯而傑出的改變與表現，這是一種無聲的表達。我們要讓週遭的人，感受到修行的力量。修行於生活中，潛移默化的是自己的心靈。修持自心，在不知不覺中讓他人感受到變化。
而透過行動所表現的是饒益，道場在提倡些什麼，道場在為大眾做些什麼，藉此讓世人對修行認識。以一切善法、資財、神通等利益有情，鼓勵同願的大德來同行善德。
積極的實修與行持，這是很重要的。只要修行有成，由苦漸甘。心靈的豐富與充實，唯有身歷其境的人才知。
感恩 吉祥

Form an Aspiration to Cultivate
When we are cultivating Buddhism, we should have obvious and outstanding change and performance, which is a voiceless expression. We should let people around us feel the power of cultivation. In the life of cultivation, what is influenced secretly is our soul. So we should cultivate our own mind to let people gradually sense our change.
We should let people know about cultivation by doing charitable deeds and telling them what we are promoting and what we are doing for the public. By making use of all the good dharmas, resources, and spiritual powers, we can benefit sentient beings and encourage people of great virtue and with the same aspirations to practice kindness together.
It’s very important to practice and abide realistically and aggressively. As long as we make some achievement in cultivation, we will feel more joys and less hardships. Only those who have gone through it know the abundance of the soul.
Gratitude and Auspiciousness to You All!
