我们的信心，也需要经过生命的考验

我们的信心

也需要

经过生命的考验

01

作为佛弟子，

我们的信心也需要

经过生命的考验，

逐步摸索进步，

直到心服口服、五体投地。

五体投地是生命最不安全的动作，

放弃所有的防备，

将头和手脚完全地贴于大地之上。

As Buddhists, our faith in the Triple Gem should withstand all challenges and hardships in life. Gradually we make progress though trials and errors in our practice until one day we are sincerely convinced and willing from the bottom of our heart to prostrate  to the Triple Gem with our limbs and forehead touching the ground. Such prostration is the most dangerous action we take in life. We give up all defensive self-protections, touching  the earth with our head and limbs thoroughly. 

02

但是，在永恒存在的佛陀面前，

我们就是要将

物质的肉体

和内心的执着完全放下，

让自己完全地皈命。

However, 

in front of the eternal sublime being, the Buddha,

 we ought to let go of

 both material obsessions 

and inner attachment completely

 and take refuge in Him wholeheartedly and faithfully.
