我們生命的目的不只是為了生存，不只是為了保持身體的狀態 － 而是盡量發展我們的覺悟。所以教育的重點和方向不應該只是為了能夠讓我們集取更多外在的財富， 而是要幫助我們發展我們的覺悟， 去幫助年輕人培養他們天賦（先天具備）的智慧和慈悲心，以致公益社會。

Education
Education shapes our minds. If we don’t teach values and nurture Inner Wealth, then when there is a crisis, we often find that first and foremost there is a crisis in values.
The purpose of our life is much more than to survive, much more than sustaining the physical body – it is to help develop consciousness. The emphasis and direction of education should therefore be not just about accumulating information to serve outer wealth, but to help develop consciousness, to help young people nurture their innate values of wisdom and compassion for the benefit of society. 2016-05-28

這裡有一個更加深切的原因為什麼我們想得到長壽。原因不只是為了生存，不只是要與時間堅持鬥持續長久， 而我們得到長壽的同時，是帶著利益眾生的意圖。
There is a more profound reason why we want live a long life. It is not just to survive, it is not just to outlast time, but it is done with the intention to benefit sentient beings. 2016-05-26

如果我們堅持要找出一條路（解決方法）， 那麼佛教的方法，或者一個修行人的方法， 便是去尋找根源 － 即是因。

如果我們嘗試易轉，或硬着改變結果， 那是很難的，但是如果我們嘗試找出因由，它的根源，那麼這就不一樣了。 我們的修行， 我們的見解都是從因由而發出的， 所以如果我們嘗試思考一下因由，或許就能找到答案。 有可能是個人的一個答案，或是集體性的答案，但是如果我們必須要找到答案的話，如果我們必須要找到解決的方法，那我們必須要找到它的根源／因由 － 不一定是個絕對的根源，但是起碼是一個合理的因由。 因為每一種結果都會有它自己的條件和環境（去發生），它必須有它自己的因由（去發生），所以如果我們嘗試追蹤它的根源，我們應該可以找到一些解決的方法。
If we force ourselves and say that there must be a way, then the Buddhist’s way, or the practitioner’s way, is to find the root, the cause.

Because if we try to counter or somehow change the result, that’s quite difficult, whereas if we try to find its cause, its root, then this is different. Our practice, our view is all based on causality, so therefore if we try to think of the cause, then there may be an answer. It may be an individual or a collective answer – that depends – but otherwise if we really must find the answer, if we must find the remedy, then we must try to find its cause – not to say its absolute cause, but at least some reasonable cause. Because every result must have its own condition, it must have its own cause, so therefore if we try to trace its root, then we may be able to find some remedies. 2016-05-24
