Opinions II
見解；就是一種迷失，因為世俗的知識與見解，大都只看到表面的假相，而看不見生命的真象。
一般人被自己的見解束縛了，就落入生死迷茫之途，得不到解脫、看不見真實自在的自己。
當看見春天繁茂的綠樹，就稱讚它綠葉如蔭，生氣蓬勃，到了秋天它枝葉凋萎，又說它即將枯死了，這是錯誤的見解。
其實春生夏長、秋凋冬眠，這是生命的消長，它顯現在生命的洪流裡，是那麼自然，都是一樣的。
不因生生死死、不為外表的變化，而起心動念。若明白人生現象的人，天天用眼看人間事物，卻不為所動。
若能不受任何表面假相束縛，也不把一切事物的名目、外相放進心裏，沒有執著的見解，就沒有迷失的內心，這就是看自己內心的方法。
◎若能不受任何表面假相束縛，沒有執的見解，就沒有迷失的內心。

Opinions II
An opinion is a misconception, because the mundane knowledge and opinions are gained by looking at the superficial false phenomena rather than the reality of life.
When a person is restrained by his own opinions, he will fall into the path of delusion about life and death, unable to get liberated and see his genuine, unrestrained self.
It’s a wrong view when one sees flourishing trees in spring and says that they have luxuriant leaves and are full of vitality or when in autumn the branches and leaves are withered, he will say that they are dying.
Living things are born in spring, grow in summer, wither in autumn, and sleep in winter. This is, in fact, the decrease and growth of life and shows that in the flood of life all phenomena are so natural and the same.
One should not give rise to any thought when seeing life and death or the change of the appearance of anything. One who clearly knows the phenomena of life will remain untouched when seeing matters in life.
It will be the way one sees his innermost being if he is not bound by any superficial false forms, does not take the name or appearance of anything to heart, has no adherent views, and thus does not have a lost mind.
