我们每一个人随着时间的流逝，年龄在不断地增长，身体也在成长，知识、能力、财富、地位都在不断地增长，但有一样东西不见得与之一起增长；同样，从人类的文明史来看，现代社会比古代社会科技要发达，物质要丰富，生活要便利，但也有一样东西不见得与之一起发展。这样东西，就是消除烦恼的本领。一个8岁的小孩同一个80岁的老人，有着同样多的烦恼；现代人不见得比古代人烦恼要少，甚至说烦恼要更多。而佛法，就是消除烦恼的智慧。拥有了这种智慧，就能摆脱烦恼。
心是刹那刹那生灭的，这个原理就跟看胶片电影一样。我们看上去是一幅完整的连续的影像，实际上只是每秒钟24张胶片连续在我们眼前闪过。心的生灭也是如此，每一刹那都在变换生灭。这是关于心的一个大前提，我们分析心，就必须要时刻了知这一点。譬如我们去做个慈善活动，给贫困学生捐款50万，每人发二百块钱。在发放的过程中，心是善的。这时有个小孩跑上来拉着你的手要多一份。他的手黑而且脏，刚好你的衣服又比较高档，看到雪白的衣服上五个乌黑的手指印，你当时会有什么感受？会觉得这个小孩不听话，不是给了你吗？怎么还要呢？你看你把我衣服都弄脏了！但慈善活动还是要继续，你把剩下的捐款都发放完毕后，觉得心里不爽，于是朋友们就出了个主意：我们去唱歌看表演吧？于是你跟着朋友们进了娱乐场所放松，出来以后觉得心情好多了。在这个过程中，直到小孩抓你的手，你的心都是善的。但小孩的异常举动让你动了嗔念，之后朋友们为了熄灭你的嗔念，带你去娱乐场所，这又动了贪念。所以从你对小孩生气的那一刹那开始，你的心就不再是善，虽然你依然是在做慈善，但心的善是刹那生灭的，跟你在做什么事没有必然关系。所以佛法说放下屠刀，立地成佛讲的也是这个道理。
佛陀在教导我们的时候，喜欢用很大很大的尺度。比如说时间上说劫，一个劫是多长？你每年拿一块纱布去喜马拉雅山擦一下，等喜马拉雅山被你擦平了，这就是一劫。为什么要如此大的尺度来说佛法？比如我现在手上的这块纱布是黑色的，我把它放在眼睛前面，我会觉得很黑，天都黑了，什么都看不见了。但如果我把纱布拿远一点，我的视野就会更加开阔，觉得天没这么黑了。如果再远一点，这块曾经遮住了天的黑纱布就只是一个黑点了。我们小的时候有次考试不及格，老师说要家长签字。我们在回家的路上会觉得天都要塌下来了，但现在回头一看，并不会觉得那是多么了不起的事。同样，现在我们会为一些事情而烦恼，觉得很难处理好，影响重大。但十年后再回头看一看，又会觉得不是什么大事。如果我们在“劫”这样漫长的时间跨度里面看问题，就不会被一些小的东西遮住智慧，就会看到更加广阔的天地。有个故事叫井底之蛙，一只青蛙在井底里面，在它看来世界就只有井这么大，它每天因为小鱼小虾对它的赞扬而高兴，因为螃蟹夹它一下而烦恼。如果井上几个石头掉下来，在它看来这个世界就要覆灭。如果这只青蛙具有智慧，有慧根，跳出这个井，就会发现世界原来还有很大很大，井还是那个井，石头掉下去可能井要被填掉，但世界并不会因此覆灭。
无神论把人们的所有信仰都消灭掉，完全靠法律来约束人。所以有些西方人觉得中国很危险，因为中国是一个没有信仰的国家。有信仰就有自律，自律比法律更加重要，所以人要有些信仰，有自律，这样才能让心变得善，从而获得智慧，熄灭烦恼。
用功的重点要放到努力培养好习惯上。
好习惯越多，坏习惯自然越少。
The focus should be laid on developing good habits.
The more we have, the fewer we will develop as bad ones.
欲望会导致痛苦，其主要原因乃是欲望永远无法完全满足。
The reason why our lust leads to pains is that you can never feed your lust.
分享智慧，收获智慧！分享慈悲，收获慈悲！传播智悲，自利利他，随喜赞叹，功德无量！
