在這夜裡，在寮房裹沈思，一切行事是
無常的，不必執著。一切行為都有苦惱，
不必介意。
一切佛法講無我，放下身心得自在。
一切的欲望煩惱都滅盡之時，人就活著
了………。
靜夜裏：想……
無我，是心裏沒有負累、是空。
時時做一個慈悲喜捨的人，是不空。
對一切境遇，能夠無牽無掛、坦坦蕩蕩
的去做慈悲喜捨的事，就是空而不空。
日日做慈悲喜捨的善事，而不求回報，
不沽名釣譽，只是自自然然行，不執著有
我，就是不空而空了………。

Pondering
I ponder in my room in the night. It strikes me that everything is impermanent and therefore we do not have to cling to it. There are afflictions in whatever we do and so we don’t have to care about it.
All Buddhist Dharmas mention selflessness and one will be unrestrained if he can set aside his body and mind. Only when all desires and afflictions are completely eradicated are people really living. During the silent night I keep thinking that selflessness means the mind has no burdens and is empty. It is non-empty to always be a compassionate and joyful person. It is not-empty in emptiness to be carefree under any circumstances and to do compassionate jobs magnanimously.
It is empty in non-emptiness to do compassionate deeds without asking for rewards and to behave naturally without asking for fame or sticking to the self.
