Part 1

People who like suspicion and doubt always give a utilitarian interpretation to the behavior of others.

For example when they see someone else encouraging good conduct, they think that the person must have ulterior motives he cannot tell people about.

In fact, what the suspicious person sees is not the other person's motives, but rather his own suspicious mind.

This is because theworld as seen in each person's eyes is the manifestation of that person's mind and spirit.(page 139)

Part 2

Completely indiscriminate faith is a deluded kind of faith, akin to superstition.

People with deluded faith entrust liberation to things outside the mind.

They think that their own liberation must depend on other people, or must depend on worshipping certain people or certain things, or worshipping this or that god or spirit.

They completely fail to consider what they themselves must do and act like slaves.

Nowadays there are many people with deluded faith. and they do not understand that liberation is their own task.(page 140)

~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

選段一:

喜歡猜疑的人,總會(huì)給別人的行為套上一種功利化的原因涣旨。比如巴比,看到別人勸善侣夷,他們就認(rèn)為勸善者有著不可告人的目的捞高。他會(huì)想款青,世界上真的有解脫嗎渔彰?真的有六道輪回嗎窝趣?你是不是想利用人們的信任,來(lái)對(duì)他們進(jìn)行精神控制勾给?當(dāng)你告訴他滩报,布施是世界上最偉大的賺錢(qián)秘密時(shí)锅知,他還認(rèn)為你是想騙他的錢(qián)。事實(shí)上露泊,他看到的并不是別人的動(dòng)機(jī)喉镰,而是自己懷疑的心旅择。因?yàn)椴研Γ總€(gè)人眼中的世界,都是他們心靈的顯現(xiàn).(114頁(yè))

選段二:

毫無(wú)選擇的信生真,是一種迷信沉噩。迷信者將解脫寄托于心外之物。他們認(rèn)為柱蟀,自己的解脫要靠別人川蒙,或崇拜某人某物,或崇拜這個(gè)神那個(gè)仙长已,全然不考慮自己應(yīng)該做什么畜眨,一副奴才模樣。現(xiàn)在有大量迷信者术瓮,他們不明白解脫是自己的事康聂,別人吃飯飽不了自己。(114-115頁(yè))
