千处祈求千处应 十方诸佛悲心

观世音菩萨代表一切诸佛之悲心的总集，观音菩萨不仅仅是一个人，祂是十方诸佛悲心的状态，诸佛悲心状态的人格化就叫观世音菩萨，祂是不分内外的。所以才说“千处祈求千处应”。但是我们却有眼无珠看不到，为什么？大音希声，大象无形！

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the embodiment of the compassion of all Buddhas in human form. His existence is all-pervasive and he can sense and respond to anyone praying to him. Why can’t we see him? That’s because ‘the great sound is soundless and the great form is formless’. Although we can’t see the Buddha and Bodhisattva, they see and know us well, even our thoughts. There is no distance between the Buddha and us.

我们的起心动念佛菩萨都知道

但是，我们虽然看不到佛菩萨，佛菩萨对我们却是悉知悉见，我们的起心动念佛菩萨都知道，佛跟我们之间没有距离。从我们凡夫的角度看，有你有我，佛在天边；从佛的角度上看，众生都是同体的。凡夫觉悟了，就知道佛原来就是我！

From an ordinary being’s view,

there is you and I, and the Buddha is far away, but from the Buddha’s view, all beings are one. In fact, when an ordinary man is enlightened, they will realise that the Buddha and the self are also one.

解行合一 才是真修行

所以我们每个人的佛性不增不减，我们的佛性八风吹不动，就看你只是理论上的理解，还是真正觉悟到了境界。你的修行跟你所觉悟的是不是“解行合一”，解行合一才是真修行，这个很重要。

The Buddha-nature of all of us is not subject to increase or decrease, nor will it move an inch because of the ‘eight winds’ (gain and loss, defamation and eulogy, praise and ridicule, sorrow and joy). You not only need to understand this as a theory but, more importantly, realise this spiritually. Only one who acts in accordance with what they know is a true Dharma practitioner.

菩萨是 智慧的生命

菩萨是智慧的生命。看到众生这么多迷惑的苦，由于菩萨内心大悲的缘故，因而不住在涅槃里；由于祂大智的缘故，虽然在娑婆世界的生死状态中，但是祂又不住在生死里。“大智故不住生死，大悲故不住涅槃。”这就是菩萨在人世间的状态。

A Bodhisattva is a form of enlightened life. They do not abide in the state of nirvana because they have great compassion and cannot bear to see sentient beings living in confusion and suffering. On the other hand, they are not subject to life and death in this world due to the great wisdom they possess. This is the nature of a Bodhisattva.
